FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Huntland last 12-15 years with proper upkeep. Consider replacement if your unit is near this age, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or causes utility bills to rise despite regular maintenance. A new high-efficiency model can cut energy costs by 20–40 % and eliminate the risk of a mid-season breakdown.
What is included in a proactive maintenance plan and how does it protect my new system?
Our plan provides two precision tune-ups per year—one before summer and one before winter. We clean coils, check refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, calibrate thermostats, flush condensate lines, and test safety controls. This keeps efficiency high, maintains manufacturer warranty compliance, and catches minor issues before they become costly repairs.
Are there energy-efficient HVAC options suitable for Huntland’s climate?
Yes. Variable-speed heat pumps and dual-fuel systems perform well in Huntland’s humid summers and mild winters. Look for SEER2 ratings of 16 or higher and HSPF2 of 8.8+. We size equipment using ACCA Manual J calculations to ensure maximum comfort and lower operating costs all year.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day. We remove the old equipment, set the new condenser/furnace or air handler, connect ductwork and electrical, evacuate and charge the refrigerant lines, and perform a full start-up test. Your system is typically offline for 4–8 hours, and we schedule work at a time that minimizes disruption.
What rebates, financing, or tax incentives are available for HVAC replacements in Huntland?
Qualifying ENERGY STAR systems may earn up to $2,000 in federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act. TVA’s EnergyRight program often offers $200–$400 rebates for heat pumps. We partner with lenders that provide 0 % APR financing up to 18 months or low fixed payments up to 120 months, allowing you to upgrade without large upfront costs.
How often should I have my new HVAC system serviced after installation?
Even brand-new units need twice-yearly maintenance: once in spring for cooling components and once in fall for heating components. Regular service maintains efficiency, keeps warranty coverage valid, and documents system history for future resale value. Our proactive maintenance agreement automatically reminds you when it’s time to schedule.
