FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC system instead of repairing it?
In Blaine’s climate—where winters routinely dip below freezing and summers can push the upper-70s—a reliable system is critical. If your unit is 12–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or can’t keep the home comfortable despite high energy bills, replacement is usually more economical than continued repairs. A new system can cut energy costs by 20–40 % and improve indoor comfort year-round.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take for a home in Blaine?
Most standard furnace-and-air-conditioner replacements are finished in one working day. Complex projects—such as adding duct modifications, zoning dampers, or new refrigerant lines—may extend the job to two days. We handle permits with the City of Blaine, remove the old equipment, install and test the new system, and haul away all debris so your home is back to normal quickly.
What size HVAC unit do I need for my Blaine property?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, window count, ceiling height, orientation, and even factors like household occupancy and desired humidity control. We perform a Manual J heat-load calculation to pinpoint the exact BTU and SEER/AFUE requirements. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run nonstop and still can’t keep up during Blaine’s cold snaps. A professional load calculation ensures efficiency, comfort, and longevity.
Are there energy rebates or tax incentives available in Blaine for new HVAC installations?
Yes. Xcel Energy and other regional utilities offer rebates—often $300–$800—for qualifying high-efficiency furnaces and air conditioners. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $2,000 for heat pumps and up to $600 for high-efficiency gas furnaces or central A/C with ≥16 SEER2. We file the paperwork for you and apply eligible rebates as an instant discount whenever possible.
What is the expected lifespan and warranty coverage of a new comfort system?
A properly installed, regularly maintained furnace or heat pump should last 15–20 years, and a central air conditioner 12–15 years. Most manufacturers now provide 10-year parts warranties once the product is registered; many of our systems include limited lifetime heat-exchanger coverage and 10- to 12-year compressor warranties. We add a one-year labor warranty (extendable to 10 years) for complete peace of mind.
How much should I budget for a complete HVAC replacement, and do you offer financing?
Prices vary with capacity, efficiency ratings, and optional add-ons like smart thermostats or air purifiers. In Blaine, a standard 80 %-AFUE furnace and 14.3 SEER2 A/C combo starts around $8,000 installed, while a high-efficiency 96 %-AFUE furnace coupled with a 17–20 SEER2 variable-speed inverter A/C or heat pump can range from $11,000 to $16,000. We provide firm, written quotes and offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval.
