FAQs
How can I tell when it’s time to replace my current HVAC system instead of repairing it?
Several warning signs point to replacement being the smarter option: (1) Age – most heat pumps and central A/C units last 10–15 years in Huntland’s hot, humid climate; (2) Frequent or costly repairs – if you’re calling us more than once a season or facing a single repair that exceeds 30 % of the cost of a new unit; (3) Rising energy bills – older equipment loses efficiency and may still use R-22 refrigerant, which is expensive and being phased out; (4) Comfort issues – uneven room temperatures, excessive humidity or noise; (5) Safety or code concerns – cracked heat exchangers or obsolete electrical components. Our technicians can run a no-obligation cost-benefit analysis to show whether continued repairs or a modern, high-efficiency replacement will save you more money long-term.
What does a complete HVAC replacement typically cost in the Huntland area, and what factors affect the price?
A straightforward change-out (equipment only) for an average 1,800 sq ft home generally ranges from $6,000 to $12,000. The price varies based on: • System size (2- to 5-ton capacity) • Efficiency rating (upgrading from 14.3 SEER2 to 18 SEER2 or a dual-fuel heat pump can add 15-20 %) • Ductwork condition—repairs, sealing or redesign raise costs • Indoor air-quality add-ons such as media filters, UV lights or dehumidifiers • Electrical upgrades or pad/line-set replacement • Warranty/extended labor coverage. We provide written, line-item proposals so you know exactly where every dollar goes, and we never start until you approve the scope.
How long will my home be without heating or cooling during the replacement, and what should I expect on installation day?
Most standard replacements take one full workday (4–8 hours). Our crew arrives between 8-9 a.m., protects flooring with drop cloths, removes the old equipment, installs the new indoor coil/air handler and outdoor condenser/heat pump, pressure-tests and evacuates the refrigerant lines, connects the thermostat and performs a final start-up test. If duct modifications, crawl-space work or electrical panel upgrades are required, the job may extend to a second day. We keep at least one room comfortable with portable heaters or coolers if an overnight gap is unavoidable. Before leaving, we walk you through system operation, register the warranty and clean the entire work area.
Do you offer financing, rebates or tax incentives to make replacement more affordable?
Yes. Peace of Mind Heating & Air partners with Synchrony and Wells Fargo to offer 0 % APR plans up to 18 months or low-interest options up to 10 years. We also process TVA EnergyRight and manufacturer rebates that can knock $150–$600 off qualifying heat pumps and high-efficiency furnaces. Under the 2023 federal Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners can claim a tax credit of 30 % of project cost, up to $2,000, for ENERGY STAR rated heat pumps and up to $600 for qualifying furnaces or A/Cs. We’ll supply all the paperwork and even coordinate with your tax professional if requested.
How much can I expect to save on my utility bills with a new high-efficiency system?
If your current unit is 10 SEER (common before 2006), replacing it with a 16 SEER2 system can reduce summer cooling costs by roughly 35 %. Switching from an 80 % AFUE gas furnace to a 96 % model or to a cold-climate heat pump can cut winter heating expenses 20–40 %. For a typical Huntland household spending $180/month in peak season, that translates to $500–$800 in annual energy savings. Most customers recoup the upgrade cost through lower bills and reduced repairs in 3–5 years, and the quieter operation and better humidity control are bonus benefits.
What kind of warranty and ongoing maintenance support comes with my new HVAC unit?
Every system we install is registered with the manufacturer for a 10-year parts warranty (compressor, coil, blower motor, etc.). Peace of Mind adds a 1-year labor guarantee at no extra charge, and you can extend labor coverage to 10 years for a modest fee. To keep the warranty valid and performance at peak, we offer our ‘Peace-of-Mind Comfort Club’: two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, 15 % repair discounts and no overtime fees. Club membership typically adds two extra years of useful equipment life and maintains the efficiency promised on day one.
