FAQs
When should I consider replacing rather than repairing my HVAC system in Huntland?
Most systems start losing efficiency after 10–15 years. If your unit needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep your home comfortable, creates unusually high utility bills, or uses R-22 refrigerant (which is being phased out), replacement is usually more cost-effective. A free on-site evaluation lets our technicians compare repair costs with the long-term savings of a new, energy-efficient system tailored for Huntland’s climate.
How long does a typical HVAC unit replacement take from start to finish?
For most homes in Huntland, the physical removal of the old unit and installation of the new one is completed in a single day—usually 4–8 hours. Complex jobs that include ductwork modifications or indoor-air-quality add-ons may add another day. Before installation, we schedule a load calculation visit and secure any required Franklin County permits, so the entire project timeline is generally 3–7 business days from signed proposal to final inspection.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Huntland home?
Sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, window type, orientation, ceiling height, and even how much shade your property receives. We perform an ACCA Manual J heat-gain/heat-loss calculation to pinpoint the correct tonnage. Proper sizing prevents short-cycling, reduces energy bills, and maximizes comfort. Never rely on rule-of-thumb estimates—oversized and undersized units both create problems.
Are there energy-efficient models that qualify for rebates or tax credits in Huntland?
Yes. Many high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners with SEER2 ratings of 15.2 or higher qualify for federal tax credits of up to 30% (maximum $2,000) under the Inflation Reduction Act. Local incentives from TVA’s EnergyRight program and Duck River EMC’s rebate offerings can provide $150–$500 more for qualifying systems. We’ll help you choose ENERGY STAR® equipment, file paperwork, and apply the rebates right to your invoice.
What happens during the installation process?
1) Pre-installation: We confirm equipment, permits, and arrival window. 2) Arrival & protection: Technicians lay down floor coverings and wear shoe covers. 3) Removal: Old condenser, air handler/furnace, and refrigerant are safely recovered and hauled away for recycling. 4) Installation: New indoor and outdoor units, line-set flushing or replacement, thermostat upgrade, and ductwork sealing as needed. 5) Start-up & testing: Refrigerant charge, airflow, and safety controls are verified. 6) Walk-through: We demonstrate thermostat functions, maintenance tips, and warranty registration. 7) Cleanup & inspection: Worksite is left spotless and a final county inspection is scheduled if required.
