FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit in Cosby rather than repair it?
Several warning signs indicate that replacement is the smarter long-term choice: (1) The system is 12–15 years old or older; (2) Repair costs exceed 30–40 % of the price of a new unit; (3) Your energy bills keep rising despite regular maintenance; (4) Uneven temperatures, excessive noise, or frequent cycling; and (5) The use of outdated R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced. During our free in-home evaluation we measure system performance, inspect ductwork, and provide an honest repair-vs-replace cost comparison so you can make an informed decision.
What makes your HVAC replacement process truly “stress-free”?
From the first phone call, we handle everything: prompt scheduling, transparent pricing, and a single point of contact who keeps you informed. On installation day we protect your floors with drop cloths, remove the old equipment, and install the new unit to manufacturer specifications. Post-installation we perform a full system start-up and walkthrough, register the warranty for you, and file any required permits with Sevier County. If questions arise later, our 24/7 support line connects you directly to a local technician—no call centers, no runaround.
How long will I be without heating or cooling during the replacement?
Most standard split-system replacements in Cosby are completed in 4–8 hours. We pre-stage equipment, verify electrical and refrigerant line compatibility, and pull permits in advance so downtime is minimal. For more complex projects—such as duct modifications or heat-pump conversions—work can extend to a full day, but we always leave you with at least one operational zone overnight or provide temporary heating or cooling equipment at no extra charge.
Do you install energy-efficient systems that can handle Cosby’s humid summers and chilly winters?
Yes. We specialize in high-efficiency heat pumps and dual-fuel systems with SEER2 ratings up to 20+ and HSPF2 ratings above 8. Many models include variable-speed compressors that automatically adjust output, improving comfort and lowering humidity—a big advantage during Cosby’s muggy July and August afternoons. We also offer gas furnaces with up to 98 % AFUE for customers who prefer natural gas heating. During the consultation we perform a Manual J load calculation to match equipment capacity to your home’s exact needs, ensuring maximum performance and efficiency.
Can I get financing, rebates, or tax incentives for a new HVAC system in Cosby?
Absolutely. We partner with several lenders to offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months and low-payment plans that can be approved in minutes. Qualifying ENERGY STAR® heat pumps can earn a federal tax credit of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Local utilities such as Sevier County Electric System periodically offer rebates for high-efficiency installations. We complete all rebate paperwork and supply the documentation needed for your tax preparer, so you keep more money in your pocket.
What happens to my old HVAC equipment and do you handle permits and inspections?
We remove and haul away your old unit at no additional cost, separating metal, refrigerant, and electronics for environmentally responsible recycling. We recover any remaining refrigerant with EPA-certified equipment to prevent atmospheric release. Our team pulls the required mechanical permits with Sevier County Building & Codes and schedules the final inspection. Once the inspector signs off, we provide you with a completion packet that includes the permit number, inspection record, warranty certificates, and maintenance recommendations.
