FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Gruetli-Laager last 12–15 years. If yours is approaching that age, requires frequent repairs, fails to keep consistent temperatures, or causes utility bills to spike, replacement is usually the more cost-effective option. Our technicians will run a full diagnostic and provide a cost-benefit analysis so you can make an informed decision.
Which types of HVAC systems do you install, and which is best for Gruetli-Laager’s climate?
We install high-efficiency split systems, heat pumps, packaged units, and ductless mini-splits. Because Gruetli-Laager experiences both humid summers and cool winters, many homeowners choose variable-speed heat pumps paired with electric or gas backup heat. During our in-home consultation we’ll review load calculations, insulation levels, and your comfort goals to recommend the ideal system.
What is the typical replacement process and how long will it take?
After the on-site assessment and permit approval, we schedule installation at your convenience. Most standard replacements are completed in one day: 2–3 hours for removal of the old unit, 3–5 hours for setting the new equipment, connecting refrigerant lines, wiring, and ductwork adjustments, followed by a system start-up and performance test. Complex jobs with duct modifications may take an extra day.
How much can I save on energy bills with a new high-efficiency unit?
Upgrading from a 10 SEER system to a modern 16–18 SEER unit can cut cooling costs by up to 40%. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors further reduce electricity consumption by matching output to demand. Customers in Grundy County who replace units 15+ years old commonly report annual savings of $300–$600, depending on usage and home size.
Are financing, rebates, or tax credits available for HVAC replacements?
Yes. We offer 0% APR financing for up to 60 months on qualifying systems. TVA’s EnergyRight program and many utility providers in Tennessee provide rebates when you install ENERGY STAR® equipment. In addition, federal tax credits of up to 30% of project cost (capped at $2,000 for heat pumps) are available under the Inflation Reduction Act. Our office handles all paperwork to maximize your incentives.
What kind of warranty and ongoing maintenance do you provide?
All new systems come with a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty from our team. We also include the first year of our Comfort Club maintenance plan at no charge, which covers two seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and a 15% repair discount. Regular maintenance is required to keep factory warranties valid and ensures your new unit operates at peak efficiency.
