FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC system rather than repair it?
Most equipment in Petros reaches the end of its reliable service life at around 12–15 years. Warning signs include rising energy bills, uneven temperatures between rooms, frequent breakdowns, or major component failures such as a cracked heat exchanger or compressor. If repair costs exceed 30–40 % of the price of a new, high-efficiency unit—or if R-22 refrigerant is still in use—replacement is usually the most economical choice. Our technicians perform a cost-benefit analysis during the estimate so you can make an informed decision.
How long does a complete HVAC replacement take from start to finish?
For a standard split-system change-out in an average 1,800 sq ft Petros home, the actual on-site installation usually takes one full day (6–10 hours). Complex jobs—adding new duct runs, zoning dampers, or line-set rerouting—may require two days. Before installation, we schedule a 60–90-minute in-home assessment to size the equipment and review options, obtain any necessary permits from Morgan County, and order the equipment. From signed proposal to finished startup, most homeowners are enjoying their new comfort system within 5–7 business days.
How do you determine the right size HVAC unit for my house in Petros?
We perform a Manual J load calculation, which factors in square footage, insulation levels, window type and orientation, home layout, airtightness, and even local climate data for Petros (cooling design temp 90 °F, heating design temp 17 °F). This engineering process prevents the common mistake of oversizing, which causes short cycling, humidity issues, and higher energy costs. Once the load is known, we match equipment capacity (in BTUs or tons) and select blower airflow and duct static pressure to ensure quiet, efficient operation.
Are there energy-efficiency rebates or tax credits available for new HVAC installs in Petros?
Yes. Qualifying ENERGY STAR air conditioners and heat pumps with SEER2 ≥ 16 or gas furnaces with AFUE ≥ 97% may be eligible for a 30 % federal tax credit (up to $600 for A/C or furnaces and up to $2,000 for heat pumps) under the Inflation Reduction Act. Knoxville Utilities Board and TVA also offer rebates of $300–$500 for high-efficiency heat pumps installed by a Quality Contractor Network member—our company is certified. We handle all paperwork and will supply the AHRI certificate so you can claim every available incentive.

How much will a new HVAC system cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing varies by capacity, efficiency tier, and accessories, but in Petros most complete replacements fall between $6,800 for a basic 14.3 SEER2 split heat pump and $13,000 for a variable-speed 18 SEER2 system with zoning. Gas furnace and A/C pairings are typically $7,200–$11,500. We partner with Synchrony and TVA EnergyRight to provide 0% APR promotional financing for 18 months or low-interest plans up to 10 years, subject to credit approval.
