FAQs
How do I know its time to replace my HVAC system rather than repair it?
In Huntlands humid subtropical climate, cooling and heating equipment runs for long hours every year. If your system is 1015 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures, or causes utility bills to spike, replacement is usually more economical. Modern high-efficiency units can cut energy use by 2040%, exceed current SEER2 standards, and come with 10year parts warranties that outlast typical repair fixes on an aging system.
What energyefficient HVAC options work best for homes in Huntland?
Popular choices include highSEER2 air conditioners paired with gas furnaces, dualfuel systems that switch between a heat pump and a furnace for optimal efficiency, and allelectric variablespeed heat pumps that provide heating and cooling down to 5F without strip heat. Ductless minisplits are ideal for bonus rooms or older homes without existing ductwork. Look for ENERGY STARcertified equipment, variablespeed compressors or ECM blowers, and smart thermostats compatible with the unit for the greatest energy savings.
How much money can I save on utility bills by installing a highefficiency replacement unit?
Savings depend on your current systems condition, insulation levels, and usage habits, but most Huntland homeowners moving from a 10 SEER system to a 162 SEER2 unit report 203% lower electric bills in summer. Replacing an 80% AFUE furnace with a 95%+ condensing model can shave another 152% off winter gas costs. Over the 15year lifetime of a new system, that can total $3,000$,7,000 or more, often paying back the upfront investment while adding comfort and resale value.
Are there rebates or incentives available for HVAC replacement in Huntland?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) energyright program typically offers $200$400 per qualifying heat pump or central AC, and local Huntsville Utilities customers can access lowinterest financing on highefficiency units. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $600 for qualifying air conditioners and up to $2,000 for heat pumps rated 9 SEER2 or higher (or 97% AFUE furnaces). Our team handles paperwork to ensure you receive every incentive for which you qualify.
How do you determine the correct size HVAC unit for my home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, airtightness, and local Huntland weather data. Oversized units shortcycle, waste energy, and create humidity problems; undersized systems run constantly and still cant keep up. The load calculation identifies the exact BTU capacity required for both heating and cooling, ensuring maximum efficiency, comfort, and equipment longevity.
What happens during an HVAC replacement and how long does it take?
Most standard replacements take one full day. We start with home protection (drop cloths, shoe covers), safely recover any refrigerant, disconnect and remove old equipment, and inspect or upgrade electrical and gas connections. Ductwork is sealed and modified if necessary, then the new indoor coil, air handler or furnace, and outdoor condenser or heat pump are installed. We evacuate and charge the refrigerant system to factory specs, test static pressure, and calibrate the thermostat. Before leaving we review maintenance tips, warranty registration, and your new systems energysaving features so you can begin lowering your utility bills immediately.
