FAQs
What types of HVAC systems do you install for year-round comfort in Loudon?
We design and install a full range of high-efficiency systems, including traditional split-system air conditioners and gas furnaces, dual-fuel setups (heat pump plus gas furnace), variable-speed heat pumps, ductless mini-splits for room-by-room control, and packaged rooftop units for light commercial spaces. Because Loudon experiences both hot, humid summers and chilly winters, we help you compare upfront cost, operating efficiency (SEER2/HSPF/AFUE ratings), and indoor air quality features to choose the best solution for consistent comfort 365 days a year.
How often should my heating and cooling equipment be serviced?
We recommend two precision tune-ups per year—one in spring for the cooling side and one in fall for the heating side. Regular maintenance includes cleaning coils, tightening electrical connections, checking refrigerant charge, lubricating motors, testing safety controls, and calibrating thermostats. These visits keep energy consumption in check, maintain manufacturer warranties, and spot small issues before they turn into costly emergency repairs during Loudon’s peak temperature swings.
What size HVAC system does my Loudon home need?
Proper sizing is critical. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window types, air infiltration, orientation to the sun, and the number of occupants. An oversized unit will short-cycle and waste energy; an undersized unit will run constantly and struggle to meet temperature setpoints. After the load analysis, we match equipment capacity (BTUs) with the calculated heat gain and heat loss so your system operates efficiently in both July’s humidity and January’s cold snaps.
How can I lower my energy bills while keeping my home comfortable all year?
Start with efficient equipment—ENERGY STAR-rated heat pumps or furnaces with variable-speed motors can cut utility costs up to 30%. Add a smart thermostat programmed for Loudon’s climate; set cooling to 78 °F when you’re home and 85 °F away, and heating to 68 °F home/60 °F away. Seal and insulate ductwork, replace air filters every 1–3 months, and consider upgrading attic insulation to R-38 or higher. We also offer annual maintenance plans and periodic airflow balancing, both of which improve system efficiency and comfort.
Do you provide indoor air quality solutions for Loudon’s pollen and humidity issues?
Yes. For allergy season we can integrate MERV 13 media filters or HEPA bypass filtration that captures up to 99.97 % of airborne particles down to 0.3 microns, including pollen common in East Tennessee. To manage high summer humidity, we install whole-home dehumidifiers tied into your duct system, reducing mold risk and making the air feel cooler at higher thermostat settings. We also offer UV-C air purifiers, humidifiers for dry winter air, and fresh-air ventilators that bring in filtered outdoor air without large energy penalties.
Are there rebates or financing options available for new HVAC installations in Loudon?
Absolutely. Many of our high-efficiency heat pumps and furnaces qualify for TVA EnergyRight and local utility rebates, which can reduce upfront costs by several hundred dollars. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act offer up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps and 30 % off approved heat-pump water heaters or geothermal systems. We partner with trusted lenders to provide low-interest financing and 0 % promotional plans, subject to credit approval, so you can spread payments over 6–72 months while enjoying lower energy bills immediately.
