FAQs
How can I tell whether my current HVAC unit needs to be replaced instead of repaired?
Most systems in Winfield last 12–15 years. If yours is in that age range, needs frequent service calls, struggles to keep rooms evenly comfortable, or is causing utility bills to climb, replacement is usually the more cost-effective route. Our certified technicians will run a load calculation, inspect major components, and give you a candid assessment so you can decide confidently.
What types of replacement systems do your certified technicians install for Winfield homeowners?
We install high-efficiency gas furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, and dual-fuel (hybrid) systems from leading brands such as Trane, Lennox, and Carrier. All equipment meets or exceeds Illinois Energy Conservation Code requirements, is sized with Manual J calculations, and can be paired with smart thermostats and indoor-air-quality add-ons like humidifiers and UV lights.
How long will I be without heating or cooling during a typical HVAC replacement?
A straightforward change-out usually takes 4–8 hours. We remove the old equipment, set the new unit, reconnect refrigerant lines and electrical, pressure-test, evacuate, and charge the system, then run a full performance check. You’ll be without heating/cooling only while the old unit is disconnected—typically 2–4 hours. If we have to modify ductwork or upgrade electrical service, the project may extend to a second day, but we’ll let you know in advance.
Do I need a permit in Winfield for HVAC replacement, and who handles the inspections?
Yes. The Village of Winfield requires a mechanical permit any time a furnace, A/C, or heat pump is replaced. Our office submits the permit application, schedules the inspection, and posts the permit on-site. After installation, a village inspector verifies code compliance, clearances, and safety shut-offs. All fees and paperwork are included in our quote—no surprises for you.
What financing, rebates, or tax credits are available to lower my out-of-pocket cost?
We offer 0% APR financing for 12–60 months (subject to credit approval) and low-payment plans through Synchrony and Wells Fargo. ComEd and Nicor Gas currently provide rebates up to $225 on high-efficiency A/Cs, $350 on furnaces, and $1,200 on qualifying heat pumps. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act cover 30% of the installed cost—up to $2,000—for heat pumps and advanced air conditioners. We file all rebate paperwork for you.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support can I expect?
All new systems come with a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty and our 1-year labor warranty. Registering the equipment within 60 days extends parts coverage to the full 10 years; we handle the registration for you. You can also purchase our Comfort Club plan, which includes two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and 15% off future repairs. Regular maintenance keeps your warranty in force and ensures the system runs at peak efficiency.
