FAQs
How can I tell when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Crab Orchard last 12–15 years with proper maintenance. Warning signs that it’s smarter to replace include: frequent breakdowns (two or more major repairs in a season), rising utility bills even after tune-ups, uneven temperatures or poor humidity control, refrigerant leaks in R-22 systems, and costly components such as the compressor failing after the warranty expires. Our comfort specialists can perform a free load calculation and cost-benefit analysis so you’ll know whether repair or replacement is the better long-term value.
What types of heating and cooling systems do you install in the Crab Orchard area?
We install high-efficiency gas furnaces, heat pumps, central air conditioners, dual-fuel hybrids, and ductless mini-splits from industry-leading brands like Trane, Rheem, and Mitsubishi. All equipment meets or exceeds the new SEER2 and HSPF2 standards required in Tennessee/West Virginia climate zones. We’ll recommend the right capacity (tonnage and BTU output) based on Manual J calculations, your insulation level, and home layout so you get maximum comfort and minimum operating cost.
How long will the replacement take, and will my family be without heating or cooling?
A straight air-conditioning or heat-pump change-out normally takes one full working day. If we are adding new ductwork, zoning dampers, or an air quality package, plan on 1½–2 days. We schedule during mild weather when possible, bring temporary spot heaters or portable AC units for vulnerable customers, and always restore service before we leave each evening. You’ll never be left overnight without conditioned air unless you request otherwise.
What is the average cost of a new HVAC system and do you offer financing?
Prices depend on size, efficiency level, and accessories. In 2024, a typical 2- to 3-ton heat-pump system with installation in Crab Orchard ranges from $6,500 to $10,500. High-performance inverter systems or dual-fuel setups can run $11,000–$15,000. We partner with Synchrony and Wells Fargo to provide 0% APR for 18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months. We’ll also help you claim federal Inflation Reduction Act tax credits (up to $2,000) and any applicable utility rebates.
Will a new HVAC unit really lower my monthly energy bills?
Yes. Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner from 2008 with a modern 16 SEER2 unit can cut cooling costs by 35–40%. A variable-speed heat pump rated 18 SEER2 / 9 HSPF2 may save up to 50% over an older single-stage model. In addition, sealed duct connections, smart thermostats, and ECM blower motors included in our installations add another 5–10% in savings. Most homeowners recoup the upfront investment through energy savings in 5–7 years.
Do you handle permits, inspections, and warranties for my new system?
Absolutely. We file all city or county mechanical permits, schedule the final inspection, and provide a copy of the approval for your records. All systems come with a 10-year parts warranty and up to 12-year compressor coverage from the manufacturer when registered within 60 days. Our company adds a 2-year labor warranty and offers optional maintenance agreements that keep your warranty valid, extend equipment life, and provide priority service.
