FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
You should start thinking about replacement when your system is 10–15 years old, requires frequent or expensive repairs, struggles to keep a consistent temperature, or causes noticeably higher utility bills. In Athens’ humid subtropical climate, units work harder and often reach the end of their service life sooner. If repair costs equal or exceed 40–50 % of the price of a new, high-efficiency system, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Athens home?
Proper sizing depends on more than square footage; it also factors in insulation levels, window quality, ceiling height, number of occupants, sun exposure, and local weather patterns. Our Comfort Consultants perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact BTU and SEER2 requirements for your living space. An accurately sized unit improves comfort, reduces energy use, prevents short-cycling, and extends equipment life.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take?
Most standard residential change-outs can be completed in a single day—usually 6–8 hours—including removal of the old equipment, installation of the new indoor and outdoor units, reconnecting ductwork and electrical, charging the refrigerant, and a thorough performance test. Complex jobs that require duct modifications, line-set replacement, or indoor air-quality upgrades may extend the timeline to two days, but we’ll provide a detailed schedule before work begins.
What efficiency and comfort benefits will I gain from a new system?
Modern HVAC units offer SEER2 ratings of 15–20+, variable-speed compressors and blowers, and smart thermostatic controls. These technologies can cut cooling costs by up to 40 % and heating costs by 25 % compared to 10-year-old equipment. You’ll also enjoy quieter operation, better humidity control during Athens’ muggy summers, improved indoor-air quality through advanced filtration options, and warranties of up to 10–12 years on parts and compressors.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available in Athens for HVAC replacements?
Yes. Many ENERGY STAR–qualified heat pumps and furnaces are eligible for federal tax credits of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Georgia Power and local EMCs often run seasonal rebates for high-efficiency installations, while the city of Athens–Clarke County offers low-interest energy-efficiency loans to qualifying homeowners. Trusted Partner Heating & Air Conditioning also provides in-house financing with flexible terms and 0 % APR promotional periods to make upgrading affordable.
