FAQs
What makes your latest HVAC systems different from traditional units?
Our new-generation heating and cooling systems use variable-speed inverter compressors, adaptive smart thermostats, and multi-zone controls. These technologies allow the equipment to modulate output precisely to the home’s real-time load, resulting in quieter operation, tighter temperature control (within ±1 °F), and energy savings of up to 40 % compared with single-stage units commonly found in Riceville homes.
How energy-efficient are the new heat pumps in Riceville’s climate?
The latest cold-climate air-source heat pumps we install carry SEER2 ratings up to 24 and HSPF2 ratings up to 10.5. Thanks to enhanced vapor-injection and variable-speed compressor technology, they can maintain 100 % heating capacity down to 5 °F and continue operating efficiently at ‑15 °F, making them well-suited for Riceville’s winter lows while still delivering impressive summer cooling performance.
Can I control the system remotely or integrate it with my smart home platform?
Yes. Every system we install ships with Wi-Fi–enabled thermostats that integrate with Amazon Alexa, Google Home, and Apple HomeKit. Through the companion mobile app you can adjust temperature, set schedules, monitor energy use, and receive maintenance reminders from anywhere with an internet connection.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for upgrading my HVAC equipment in Riceville?
Absolutely. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) energy-right® rebates of up to $600 are available for qualifying heat pumps, and the federal Inflation Reduction Act currently offers a 30 % tax credit (capped at $2,000) on high-efficiency heat pump installations. Our team will file the paperwork on your behalf and provide all AHRI certificates needed for the credit.
How often will my new system need maintenance, and what does it involve?
We recommend two routine tune-ups per year—one in spring for cooling components and one in fall for heating components. A visit includes coil cleaning, refrigerant inspection, electrical tightening, filter replacement, and firmware updates for connected thermostats. Regular service keeps your warranty valid and can improve efficiency by 10–15 %.
What kind of warranty coverage do you provide?
All premium systems carry a 10-year parts warranty and a 10-year limited labor warranty when registered within 60 days of installation. Compressors feature lifetime coverage for the original homeowner. We also offer optional extended service agreements that include annual maintenance and 24/7 priority response in Riceville at no additional cost for repairs.
