FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Common signs include frequent breakdowns, uneven temperatures, rising energy bills, and equipment that’s 10–15 years old. In Cowan’s climate, compressors and heat exchangers often wear out sooner because units run year-round. If repairs are costing more than 30–40 percent of the price of a new system, or if the unit still uses R-22 refrigerant (now discontinued), replacement is normally the most cost-effective and reliable choice.
What types of heating and air conditioning systems do you install in Cowan?
We install high-efficiency split systems, packaged gas/electric units, heat pumps, and dual-fuel hybrids from leading brands such as Trane, Lennox, Rheem, and Daikin. Each system is matched to Cowan’s temperature swings and humidity levels, ensuring reliable cooling in July and dependable heating in January. We also size equipment with Manual J load calculations to guarantee proper airflow and maximum longevity.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and what is your process?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day. We begin with a free in-home assessment, confirming ductwork condition, electrical capacity, and refrigerant line integrity. On installation day we: (1) protect floors and furniture, (2) remove and recycle the old unit, (3) install the new indoor and outdoor components, (4) evacuate and charge the refrigerant lines to factory specs, (5) calibrate airflow and thermostats, and (6) perform a final performance test with you present. A city permit and inspection are included when required.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills with a new high-efficiency system?
Homeowners in Cowan upgrading from a 10 SEER air conditioner to a 16–18 SEER unit typically reduce cooling costs by 35–45 percent. Switching from an 80 AFUE furnace to a 96 AFUE model can cut winter heating expenses by 15–20 percent. Over a 10-year span, many customers save $3,000–$5,000 in utility charges—often more than offsetting the price difference between standard and high-efficiency equipment.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for HVAC replacement in Cowan?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program and Tennessee Valley public utilities routinely offer $150–$400 rebates for qualifying heat pumps. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $600 for high-efficiency air conditioners and $2,000 for heat pumps installed in 2024. We also partner with local lenders to offer 0% APR short-term financing and low-interest plans up to 120 months so you can spread the cost over time.
How do you ensure my new HVAC system remains reliable for years to come?
Every installation includes a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty, a 1-year labor warranty (extendable to 10 years), and one complimentary precision tune-up after the first season. We also offer affordable maintenance memberships that provide bi-annual inspections, filter replacements, priority scheduling, and repair discounts. Regular service keeps coils clean, refrigerant levels correct, and electrical connections tight—dramatically reducing the risk of unexpected breakdowns in Cowan’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters.
