FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
In Jellico’s climate, most heat pumps and central air conditioners last 10-15 years, while gas furnaces average 15-20 years. If your system is in that age range, needs frequent repairs, uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, or suffers a major failure such as a compressor or heat-exchanger crack, a replacement will generally be more economical. A new unit can cut heating-and-cooling costs by 20-40 %, eliminate hot-and-cold spots, and qualify you for utility rebates that help offset the initial investment.
What does a complete HVAC replacement typically cost in Jellico?
Prices vary with home size, ductwork condition, and efficiency level, but most Jellico homeowners spend $6,500–$12,000 for a turnkey replacement that includes equipment, labor, permits, a new thermostat, and haul-away of the old unit. High-efficiency heat-pump systems with variable-speed technology can run $12,000–$17,000, while basic 14-SEER A/C and 80 % AFUE furnace combos start around $5,500. We provide a free in-home assessment and a written, line-item quote so there are no surprises.
How long will the seamless upgrade process take from start to finish?
Our streamlined replacement process is usually completed in three steps: 1) In-home evaluation and quoting (1–2 hours); 2) Permit application and equipment ordering (1–3 business days); 3) Removal of the old system, installation of the new unit, start-up, and final cleanup (usually one full workday, occasionally two if extensive duct modifications are needed). Campbell County’s inspection is scheduled immediately afterward, so most customers enjoy fully verified comfort within a week of approving their quote.
How do you determine the correct size and efficiency rating for my new system?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in Jellico’s design temperatures, your home’s square footage, insulation, window orientation, and air-infiltration rate. This ensures the new system is neither oversized (which causes short-cycling and humidity issues) nor undersized (which struggles in extreme weather). We then match the load to ENERGY STAR® equipment ranging from 14 to 20+ SEER2 and 80 % to 98 % AFUE, explaining how each efficiency tier affects upfront cost, energy savings, and available rebates.
Are permits or inspections required for an HVAC replacement in Jellico?
Yes. Campbell County Building & Codes requires a mechanical permit for any HVAC replacement that involves refrigerant piping, gas lines, or electrical changes. Our team pulls the permit on your behalf, schedules the rough-in or final inspection, and remains on-site when the inspector arrives. Proper permitting protects your manufacturer warranty, home insurance coverage, and resale value.
What financing, rebates, or tax incentives can help me afford a new system?
We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months through Wells Fargo Home Projects®. Tennova Utilities customers may qualify for up to $650 in heat-pump rebates, and high-efficiency geothermal or air-source heat pumps can earn a 30 % federal tax credit. We handle all paperwork and apply the rebate or credit estimate directly to your proposal so you see the true out-of-pocket cost before you sign.
