FAQs
How can I tell whether it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Englewood reach the end of their useful life after 12–15 years because of our wide temperature swings and the strain of operating at a mile-high elevation. If your unit is that old, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep rooms comfortable, or causes utility bills to climb each season, replacement is generally more cost-effective than another repair. A free in-home evaluation from Reliable Systems Heating & Air Conditioning will include a cost-of-repair vs. cost-of-replacement analysis so you can make an informed decision.
What size HVAC system does my Englewood home need?
Proper sizing is critical—too small a unit will run constantly, too large will short-cycle and waste energy. We perform a Manual J load calculation that accounts for square footage, insulation levels, window types, solar exposure, number of occupants, altitude, and even typical wind patterns along the Front Range. This scientific approach, rather than a simple “tons per square foot” rule of thumb, ensures your new system delivers balanced comfort and the highest efficiency possible.
How long will the replacement take and what happens during installation?
Most standard furnace-and-air-conditioner change-outs are completed in one full workday. Our crew starts by protecting floors and furnishings, then safely removes the old equipment and disposes of it in an environmentally responsible manner. We update refrigerant lines, gas piping, electrical connections, and, if needed, modify ductwork to improve airflow. After setting the new unit, we perform a factory-approved start-up, calibrate the thermostat, and run performance tests. A city inspector will later verify the work meets Englewood building codes, and we complete all permit paperwork on your behalf.
Are there rebates or tax credits available for high-efficiency HVAC replacements in Englewood?
Yes. As of 2024, homeowners can claim up to a $2,000 federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act for eligible heat pumps or high-efficiency furnaces and air conditioners. Xcel Energy offers additional rebates—often $300 to $1,000—when you install qualifying ENERGY STAR® equipment. Colorado’s RENU Loan Program provides low-interest financing for energy upgrades, and some Englewood neighborhoods participate in the statewide C-PACE program for larger projects. We’ll prepare all rebate documentation and submit it for you.
How much does a new HVAC system cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on capacity, efficiency rating (SEER2/AFUE), indoor-air-quality add-ons, and whether duct modifications are required. In Englewood, a complete furnace-and-AC replacement typically ranges from $7,500 to $14,000, while a cold-climate heat pump system may run $9,000 to $16,000 before incentives. Reliable Systems partners with reputable lenders to offer 0% APR plans for 12–18 months, fixed-rate loans up to 10 years, and even deferred-payment options so you can spread the investment over time.
What maintenance is required to keep my new system efficient and under warranty?
Manufacturers require documented annual maintenance to keep parts warranties in force. We recommend two tune-ups per year—heating in the fall, cooling in the spring—that include cleaning burners or coils, checking refrigerant charge, testing safety controls, and verifying airflow. Replace or wash filters every 30–90 days, keep the outdoor condenser free of leaves and snow, and use a programmable or smart thermostat to minimize runtime when the house is unoccupied. Enrolling in our Comfort Club Plan covers all required maintenance, priority service, and discounts on future repairs.
