FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
In general, consider replacement if your system is 10–15 years old, requires frequent or costly repairs, struggles to maintain consistent temperatures, or causes unusually high energy bills. Modern equipment is up to 40% more efficient than units installed a decade ago, so you can often save money long-term by upgrading. Our technicians can perform a detailed cost-benefit analysis during a free in-home assessment anywhere in the Huntsville metro to help you decide.
What size heating and air conditioning unit do I need for my Huntsville home?
Proper sizing is critical. A system that’s too small will run nonstop and still fail to reach set temperatures, while an oversized unit short-cycles, wastes energy, and creates humidity issues. We calculate the ideal capacity using Manual J load calculations that account for square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, occupancy, and even local climate data for Huntsville’s hot, humid summers and occasionally chilly winters. This engineering approach ensures maximum comfort, efficiency, and equipment longevity.
How long does a typical HVAC unit replacement take?
Most standard replacements can be completed in a single day. We start by safely recovering refrigerant, removing the old condenser, air handler or furnace, and any related ductwork segments. New equipment is set, connected, leak-tested, and commissioned with factory-approved start-up procedures. If duct modifications, electrical upgrades, or a new line set are needed, the project might extend to two days. You’ll receive a detailed schedule before work begins so you can plan accordingly.
What is the average cost of a full system replacement in the Huntsville area?
Pricing varies based on system type (gas furnace & AC, heat pump, dual-fuel, or high-efficiency inverter), capacity, and installation complexity. For a typical 2,000 sq ft home, turnkey replacement usually ranges from $6,500 to $12,000. High-efficiency or variable-speed equipment can be more but often qualifies for federal tax credits, local utility rebates, and lower monthly energy bills. We provide upfront, written estimates and several equipment tiers so you can choose the best fit for your budget.
Do you offer financing, rebates, or tax incentives for HVAC replacements?
Yes. We partner with multiple lenders to provide low-interest and 0% promotional financing, enabling you to spread payments over 12–120 months. Huntsville Utilities and TVA often offer rebates for ENERGY STAR®/high-SEER2 systems, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act currently provides up to a 30% tax credit (capped at $2,000) for qualifying heat pumps. Our comfort consultants will handle the paperwork and ensure you receive every available incentive.
What kind of warranty and ongoing support come with my new system?
All equipment we install includes a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and up to a 12-year compressor or heat exchanger warranty, depending on the brand. We also provide a 1-year labor warranty that can be extended to 10 years with our Maintenance Plus Plan. Enrollment adds two precision tune-ups per year, priority service within 24 hours, no diagnostic fees, and discounted repairs—helping you protect your investment and maintain peak performance for the life of the system.
