FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
In Morristown, most central heating and cooling systems last 12–15 years with proper maintenance. If your unit is near or beyond that age, experiences frequent breakdowns, or your energy bills are steadily rising despite tune-ups, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Other red flags include uneven temperatures in different rooms, excessive noise, and the use of R-22 refrigerant (which is no longer produced). Our technicians can perform a cost-benefit analysis to help you decide.
What should I expect to pay for a complete HVAC replacement in Morristown?
Costs vary based on system size, efficiency ratings (SEER2/HSPF), and whether ductwork modifications are required, but homeowners in Morristown typically spend between $7,000 and $14,000 for a full replacement, including equipment and professional installation. High-efficiency heat pump systems can cost more upfront but often qualify for utility rebates and federal tax credits that lower the net price. We provide free, no-obligation estimates so you know the exact cost before work begins.
How long does the replacement process take from start to finish?
After your in-home assessment and signed proposal, most standard furnace and air-conditioner change-outs are completed in one day. If new ductwork, zoning, or electrical upgrades are needed, the project can extend to two or three days. Our team schedules permits and inspections with the City of Morristown in advance to minimize delays, and we keep you updated at every step.
Will a new HVAC system really lower my utility bills?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency units use variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors that adjust output to the exact heating or cooling load, reducing energy consumption 20–40% compared with older single-stage systems. In Morristown’s mixed climate, a properly sized ENERGY STAR® heat pump or gas furnace/AC combo can save the average household $300–$600 per year on electricity and gas. We run a load calculation to ensure the new equipment is neither oversized nor undersized, maximizing savings.
Do I need a permit for HVAC replacement, and do you handle it?
Morristown city code requires a mechanical permit for any full HVAC system replacement to confirm the work meets International Residential Code (IRC) and manufacturer standards. Our office handles all permit applications, scheduling of city inspections, and documentation of equipment-match data, so you don’t have to worry about paperwork or compliance issues.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new system?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year parts warranty and a 10- to 12-year compressor warranty when the unit is registered within 60 days of installation. We include a one-year labor warranty on workmanship, and we offer optional maintenance agreements that provide biannual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and up to 15% discounts on any future repairs. Enrolling in a maintenance plan also helps keep your warranty valid by documenting professional service records.
