FAQs
How can I tell when it’s time to replace my existing HVAC system instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Loudon start showing diminished performance after 12–15 years. If you face frequent breakdowns, rising utility bills, uneven temperatures, or repair costs that exceed 30 % of the price of a new unit, replacement is usually the smarter long-term choice. A free in-home assessment lets our NATE-certified technician measure current efficiency, identify comfort issues, and recommend the ideal replacement capacity for your home.
What innovative technologies are included in the HVAC units you install in the Loudon area?
We specialize in variable-speed inverter heat pumps and furnaces, smart Wi-Fi thermostats, and advanced zoning dampers. These systems automatically modulate output in 1 % increments for whisper-quiet operation, precise humidity control, and up to 20 SEER2 efficiency. Optional IAQ add-ons—such as bipolar ionization air purifiers and MERV-13 media filters—remove up to 99 % of airborne particles, a major benefit during East Tennessee allergy season.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after upgrading?
Homeowners who replace 10- to 15-year-old equipment with a modern high-efficiency unit typically see 25–40 % lower heating and cooling costs. In Loudon’s mixed-humid climate, that translates to $400–$800 in annual savings for an average 2,000 sq ft home. Smart thermostats, proper duct sealing, and staged compressors further increase annual savings while extending system lifespan.
Are rebates or tax incentives available for HVAC replacements in Loudon?
Yes. Through the Inflation Reduction Act, qualifying ENERGY STAR® heat pumps receive a federal tax credit of 30 % of project cost (up to $2,000). Local utility TVA EnergyRight® rebates can add $150–$400 for high-efficiency equipment, and Loudon County’s Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program offers low-interest financing for energy improvements. We handle all paperwork to ensure you capture every incentive.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and what should I expect on installation day?
Most residential change-outs are completed in a single day. Our team arrives by 8 a.m., protects flooring with drop cloths, removes the old equipment, and installs the new system, thermostat, and any IAQ accessories. We pressure-test and evacuate refrigerant lines, perform a full airflow balance, and run a commissioning checklist. Before we leave, you’ll receive hands-on training on system controls and a copy of the performance report.
Do you offer financing, maintenance plans, and warranties for new systems?
Absolutely. We partner with several lenders to provide 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months or low-payment plans up to 120 months. Every system comes with a 10-year parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, with optional extended labor coverage to 10 years. Our ComfortGuard maintenance plan includes bi-annual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and a 15 % repair discount—protecting your investment and keeping manufacturer warranties intact.
