FAQs
What types of heating and air-conditioning systems do you install in the Vonore area?
We install a full range of residential and light-commercial HVAC equipment, including high-efficiency air conditioners, heat pumps (ducted and ductless), gas and electric furnaces, dual-fuel hybrid systems, and packaged rooftop units. All equipment is sized using ACCA Manual J load calculations that account for Vonore’s mixed-humid climate, home insulation levels, window orientation, and occupancy so you receive a system that delivers maximum comfort and efficiency without over- or under-sizing issues.
How long does a typical HVAC installation take from start to finish?
A standard change-out in an existing home usually takes 1 working day. If we are replacing ductwork, installing a new line set, or adding accessories like whole-house ventilation, plan on 2–3 days. New-construction installations are scheduled in phases—rough-in during framing and finish work just before occupancy. We obtain all required Monroe County permits, coordinate inspections, and perform a full system start-up to verify airflow, refrigerant charge, and thermostat programming before we leave.
Can you improve my indoor air quality as part of the installation?
Yes. We integrate several IAQ solutions with your new HVAC system: high-MERV media filters or HEPA bypass filters for particulate removal; UV-C germicidal lamps for coil and airborne pathogen control; whole-house dehumidifiers to manage Tennessee’s summer humidity; and energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) that bring in fresh outdoor air while retaining conditioned energy. During our consultation we test current air quality, discuss allergy or asthma concerns, and recommend the right combination of filtration, ventilation, and humidity management products.
Will a new system lower my energy bills, and what efficiency ratings should I look for?
Modern equipment can cut heating and cooling costs 20–40 % compared with units over 10 years old. For air conditioners and heat pumps, look for SEER2 ratings of 15.2 or higher; for heating efficiency you’ll see HSPF2 (heat pumps) and AFUE (furnaces)—aim for 8.1 HSPF2 or 95 %+ AFUE. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors further reduce energy use by matching output to the exact load. Many high-efficiency models qualify for federal tax credits and local TVA EnergyRight rebates, and we’ll guide you through the paperwork.
What permits and inspections are required for HVAC work in Vonore, and who handles them?
Monroe County requires a mechanical permit for any new installation or system replacement that involves gas piping, electrical changes, or duct alterations. Gas furnaces also need a pressure test and combustion inspection. Our office submits all permit applications, schedules rough-in and final inspections with the county building department, and ensures code compliance for electrical disconnects, refrigerant line insulation, condensate drainage, and ventilation clearances. You receive copies of all passed inspection reports for your records.
How do I keep my new HVAC and ventilation system running efficiently after installation?
1) Replace or clean filters every 1–3 months. 2) Schedule a professional tune-up twice a year—spring for cooling, fall for heating—to check refrigerant charge, electrical components, combustion safety, and airflow. 3) Keep outdoor units clear of leaves and debris and maintain 18″ of clearance around them. 4) Have ducts inspected every 5 years for leaks or insulation damage. 5) Enroll in our Comfort Club maintenance plan to receive priority service, discounts on repairs, and documented service records that protect your manufacturer’s warranty.
