FAQs
When is it time to replace my HVAC unit in Loudon?
Most systems last 10–15 years. If yours is approaching this age and you’re experiencing frequent breakdowns, uneven temperatures, rising energy bills, or loud operation, a replacement is more cost-effective than another repair. Loudon’s humid summers and chilly winters put added stress on older equipment, making timely replacement critical for comfort and efficiency.
How will a new HVAC system improve my home’s indoor air quality (IAQ)?
Modern systems are designed to circulate air more effectively and accommodate higher-grade filters (MERV 11–16) that capture pollen, dust, and mold spores common in East Tennessee. Many new units integrate add-ons—such as UV germicidal lights, whole-home dehumidifiers, and fresh-air ventilators—that remove contaminants and control humidity, reducing allergens, odors, and microbial growth.
What size HVAC unit do I need for a typical Loudon residence?
Correct sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window count, sun exposure, and local climate data. A professional Manual J load calculation ensures the unit isn’t too small (leading to poor comfort and high bills) or too large (causing short-cycling and humidity problems). For example, a 2,000 sq ft Loudon home may need a 3-ton heat pump, but only a load calculation can confirm the exact capacity.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available in Loudon for HVAC replacements?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and the federal Inflation Reduction Act offer rebates or tax credits for qualifying ENERGY STAR heat pumps and air conditioners with SEER2 ratings of 15.2 and above. Local utility companies sometimes provide bill credits for high-efficiency upgrades. We’ll help file the paperwork so you receive every dollar you’re eligible for.
How long does an HVAC replacement take, and what should I expect on installation day?
A standard replacement typically takes 4–8 hours. Our Loudon-based crew will arrive on schedule, protect flooring, remove the old equipment, install the new indoor and outdoor units, set up the thermostat, and perform a full start-up test. We verify refrigerant charge, airflow, and safety controls, then review system features and maintenance tips before leaving your home as clean as we found it.
How often should I maintain my new HVAC system to keep efficiency and IAQ high?
Schedule professional maintenance twice a year—AC tune-up in spring and furnace/heat-pump service in fall. We’ll clean coils, check refrigerant, tighten electrical connections, and replace or wash filters. Homeowners should also inspect filters monthly and change them at least every 60–90 days (or more often if you have pets or allergies). Regular maintenance preserves your warranty, cuts energy costs, and sustains healthy indoor air.
