FAQs
How can I tell when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
Repeated breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, or equipment that is 12–15 years old often indicate that replacement is more cost-effective than further repairs. In Calhoun’s humid summers and chilly winters, an inefficient unit can run almost year-round, accelerating wear and driving up utility costs. During an in-home assessment we measure system performance, inspect critical parts, and compare the cost of repairs against the savings a modern high-efficiency unit can deliver. If payback on a new system is less than five years—or if safety issues such as a cracked heat exchanger are found—replacement is recommended.
What customized upgrade options are available for my new heating and air system?
We design each replacement around your home’s square footage, insulation level, duct layout, and comfort goals. Popular upgrade options include variable-speed compressors and blower motors for quieter, more precise temperature control; zoning dampers with smart thermostats so you can set different temperatures for different areas; whole-home dehumidifiers to combat Calhoun’s summer humidity; and HEPA or UV air-purification packages to reduce allergens. We also offer dual-fuel heat pumps that automatically switch between electric and gas for the best balance of efficiency and comfort during North Georgia’s fluctuating shoulder seasons.
How long will the HVAC replacement process take and will I be without heating or cooling?
A straightforward like-for-like replacement usually takes one full day. More complex projects—such as installing new ductwork or adding zoning—may extend into a second day. We schedule work during moderate weather when possible, set up temporary comfort solutions if extreme temperatures are expected, and obtain any required permits in advance to prevent delays. Our crew begins by safely removing refrigerant, disconnecting power and gas, and hauling away the old unit for eco-friendly disposal. New equipment is set, charged, tested, and fully commissioned before we leave, ensuring you have operational heating and cooling the same day.
What kind of energy savings can I expect from a high-efficiency replacement in Calhoun?
Switching from an older 8–10 SEER air-conditioner to a modern 16–20 SEER heat pump or AC can trim cooling costs by 35–50 %. A 95 % AFUE furnace can reduce winter gas bills by up to 25 % compared with a 78 % model. Because Calhoun’s climate requires both heating and cooling for much of the year, homeowners typically recover the initial investment through lower utility bills within 4–7 years. We provide a detailed load calculation and savings projection so you can see exactly how much you’ll save before committing.
Do I need permits or inspections for HVAC replacement in Calhoun, GA?
Yes. Gordon County and the City of Calhoun require mechanical and sometimes electrical or gas permits for HVAC replacements. As a licensed contractor we handle the permit application, schedule any required code inspections, and supply manufacturer documentation to the inspector. Proper permitting protects your warranty, ensures safe installation, and is often required by insurers when filing future claims or selling your home.
Are there financing, rebates, or tax incentives available for my upgrade?
Absolutely. We partner with local banks and national lenders to offer low-interest financing and same-as-cash options up to 72 months. Georgia Power and local EMCs periodically offer rebates for ENERGY STAR heat pumps, smart thermostats, and duct sealing. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $2,000 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and $600 for advanced air conditioners or furnaces. Our team completes the paperwork, supplies AHRI matched-system certificates, and deducts applicable utility rebates from your invoice upfront so you maximize savings without extra hassle.
