FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Whitwell last 12–15 years. Consider replacement when your unit is over a decade old, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to keep a steady temperature, or causes unexpectedly high energy bills. A rule of thumb is to multiply the repair quote by the system’s age; if that total exceeds the price of a new unit, replacement is usually the smarter investment.
What HVAC system sizes and options are available for homes in Whitwell?
We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the right capacity—typically 1.5 to 5 tons for most single-family homes in Whitwell. Options include high-efficiency heat pumps, dual-fuel systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace, variable-speed air handlers, and ductless mini-splits for additions or homes without ductwork. Our comfort advisor will explain the pros and cons of each based on your square footage, insulation level, and budget.
How much does a full HVAC replacement cost in Whitwell, and what factors influence the price?
A complete system replacement (indoor and outdoor units plus basic ductwork adjustments) generally ranges from $6,500 to $12,000. Costs vary with equipment efficiency ratings (SEER2/HSPF), system type (single-stage, two-stage, variable-speed), required electrical or duct upgrades, and optional add-ons like smart thermostats or air quality accessories. We provide a written, line-item estimate after an in-home assessment so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.
Do I need a permit to replace my HVAC unit in Whitwell, and do you handle it?
Yes. Marion County and the City of Whitwell require mechanical permits for HVAC replacements to ensure the installation meets local building and safety codes. Our company pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules the city/county inspection, and provides all documentation for your records—saving you the hassle and ensuring full compliance.
How long will I be without heating or cooling during the replacement?
A straightforward change-out usually takes one full working day. More complex jobs that involve duct modifications, electrical upgrades, or attic unit relocation can stretch to two days. We schedule work when outdoor conditions and your calendar allow, and we protect your home with drop cloths, shoe covers, and thorough cleanup so daily life is disrupted as little as possible.
Are there energy rebates or financing options for new HVAC installations in Whitwell?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) rebates and local utility incentives may offer $150–$500 back for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. Manufacturers often add seasonal rebates worth up to $1,000. We’re partnered with lenders that provide 0% APR promotional financing or low monthly payment plans, subject to credit approval. Our team will handle the paperwork so you can maximize savings and spread the investment over time.
