FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Robbins last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching this age, needs frequent or costly repairs, or your energy bills have climbed despite regular maintenance, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment. A new high-efficiency system can cut heating and cooling costs by 20–40 percent, often offsetting the upfront price within a few years.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A standard residential HVAC replacement in Robbins generally takes one day. Our technicians arrive in the morning to remove the old equipment, update duct connections and electrical lines, set the new condenser and air handler/furnace, charge the refrigerant, and test airflow. Homeowners are usually without heating or cooling for 4–8 hours, and we provide portable space heaters or window units when extreme temperatures are expected.
What size or capacity HVAC system do I need for my Robbins home?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort and efficiency. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air infiltration, and even the number of occupants. Rule-of-thumb sizing (like tonnage per square foot) can lead to oversized units that short-cycle and waste energy. After the load calculation, we present equipment options—usually from 1.5 to 5 tons for most Robbins homes—ensuring the system matches your exact heating and cooling demand.
Are there energy-efficient options that can lower my utility bills?
Yes. Today’s air conditioners and heat pumps carry SEER2 ratings up to 20+, and gas furnaces reach AFUE ratings of 95–98 percent. We recommend ENERGY STAR® certified equipment, variable-speed compressors, and smart thermostats to maximize savings. In Robbins, upgrading from a 10 SEER system to an 18 SEER unit can reduce cooling costs by roughly 40 percent while improving humidity control and indoor comfort.
What incentives or financing programs are available in Robbins for HVAC replacement?
Residents may qualify for ComEd utility rebates, Nicor Gas high-efficiency furnace incentives, and federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act—up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps and $600 for high-efficiency furnaces or air conditioners. We also offer 0 percent APR financing for 12 months or low-interest plans up to 72 months, allowing you to spread the cost over time while enjoying immediate energy savings.
How do I take care of my new HVAC system to maximize its lifespan?
Change or wash air filters every 30–90 days, keep outdoor condensers free of leaves and debris, and schedule professional maintenance each spring and fall. During a maintenance visit our Robbins technicians clean coils, check refrigerant levels, test safety controls, and calibrate thermostats. Consistent upkeep can extend equipment life by 3–5 years and maintain manufacturer warranties, which typically require documented annual service.
