FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?
Most systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is in that age range, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep temperature, or causes utility bills to spike, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another repair. Our Cosby technicians will evaluate energy consumption, refrigerant type, and mechanical wear to help you decide.
What HVAC system options do you install in Cosby and which is best for my home?
We install high-efficiency gas furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel hybrids, traditional split A/C systems, and ductless mini-splits. The right choice depends on your square footage, insulation quality, fuel availability, and budget. During a free in-home consultation we perform a Manual J load calculation to size the system correctly and explain SEER2/HSPF ratings so you can compare life-cycle costs.
How long does a typical heating or air-conditioning installation take?
Most straight change-outs (replacing an existing furnace or outdoor condenser) are completed in a single day. If new ductwork, electrical upgrades, or refrigerant line sets are required, allow 1–3 days. We schedule around your routine, obtain any necessary Cocke County permits, and leave the work site clean before we leave.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC equipment?
Plan on two tune-ups per year: one in spring for your cooling system and one in fall for heating. Regular maintenance keeps warranties valid, improves efficiency by up to 15 %, and can help your equipment last several extra years. Our Cosby Comfort Club plans include reminders, priority service, and filter changes.
What can I expect during a maintenance visit?
Our NATE-certified technician will: • Inspect and clean burners, heat exchanger, coils, and blower wheel • Check refrigerant charge and pressures • Tighten electrical connections • Test safety controls and thermostat calibration • Lubricate moving parts • Replace or wash air filters • Provide a written report of findings and any recommendations. The visit takes about an hour and requires only basic access to the indoor and outdoor units.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available in Cosby for new HVAC installations?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and certain heat-pump manufacturers offer rebates of $150–$400 on qualifying high-efficiency units. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can cover up to 30 % of the cost (max $600 for A/C, $2,000 for heat pumps). We handle paperwork and provide documentation so you can claim all available incentives.
