FAQs
What types of air-conditioning systems do you install in Birchwood?
We install the full range of residential and light-commercial HVAC equipment, including high-efficiency split systems, ducted and ductless heat pumps, packaged rooftop units, and smart zoning solutions. All equipment we recommend is sized for Birchwood’s humid continental climate, meets or exceeds current SEER2/EER2 standards, and is backed by manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years.
How can I tell what size air conditioner or heat pump my Birchwood home needs?
Proper sizing requires more than guessing at square footage. During a free in-home consultation our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation, factoring in floor area, insulation levels, window orientation, local weather data, occupancy, and even appliance heat gains. The result is an accurately sized system that cools and heats every room evenly, avoids short-cycling, and keeps utility bills as low as possible.
Do you offer emergency heating and cooling repairs in Birchwood?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency service year-round for all major HVAC brands. Our on-call technicians live locally, so typical response time within Birchwood and surrounding neighborhoods is under two hours. Service vans are stocked with common replacement parts, allowing us to resolve most no-cool or no-heat calls on the first visit.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
For optimal performance in Birchwood’s hot summers and cold winters, we recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in spring before cooling season and one in autumn before heating season. Regular maintenance improves efficiency by up to 15 %, extends equipment life, maintains manufacturer warranty coverage, and helps catch minor issues before they turn into expensive breakdowns.
Are energy-efficient upgrades eligible for rebates or tax credits?
Absolutely. Many ENERGY STAR® certified air conditioners, heat pumps, smart thermostats, and high-efficiency gas furnaces qualify for state utility rebates and the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit (up to 30 % of the project cost, capped at $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps). We handle all paperwork and will show you how these incentives can significantly reduce the upfront cost of a new system.
What payment and financing options do you offer?
To make comfort affordable, we provide multiple payment choices: major credit cards, debit, personal checks, and 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months on approved credit. Longer-term low-interest plans (up to 120 months) are also available, along with convenient online bill pay and no-penalty early payoff. Your comfort consultant will review every option during the estimate so you can choose what fits your budget.
