FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Dayton last 12–15 years. If yours is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills are steadily rising despite maintenance, replacement is usually the more cost-effective choice. Major component failures—such as a cracked heat exchanger or a failed compressor—also signal that investing in a new, high-efficiency unit will save money long-term versus pouring funds into an aging system.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Dayton home?
Proper sizing is critical. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air infiltration, and even the number of occupants. Picked too small, the system will run constantly and fail to reach set temperatures; too large, it will short-cycle, wasting energy and stressing components. A load calculation, not rules of thumb, ensures maximum comfort and efficiency.
How much does an HVAC replacement cost in Dayton and what factors influence the price?
On average, a full central air conditioner and gas furnace replacement in the Dayton area ranges from $7,000 to $12,000 installed. Costs vary based on equipment efficiency ratings (SEER2 and AFUE), system size, brand, duct modifications, thermostat upgrades, and any indoor air-quality add-ons. We provide written, line-item quotes after an in-home assessment so you can compare options and financing plans with no surprises.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and what is the installation process like?
Most residential replacements are completed in 1 day. We begin by protecting floors and work areas, then remove and responsibly recycle the old equipment. New indoor and outdoor units are set, refrigerant lines and drains are replaced, electrical and gas connections are verified, and the system is evacuated and charged to manufacturer specs. Before leaving, we run a complete performance test, register warranties, and review your new thermostat and maintenance requirements with you.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available in Dayton or Ohio for new HVAC systems?
Yes. High-efficiency heat pumps and furnaces that meet ENERGY STAR® criteria may qualify for up to a $2,000 federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act. Dayton Power & Light (AES Ohio) and Columbia Gas periodically offer rebates for high-efficiency upgrades, and our team will handle the paperwork. Low-interest Energy Conservation for Ohioans (ECO-link) loans are also available for qualifying homeowners.
What maintenance is required after installing a new HVAC unit to keep my warranty valid?
Manufacturers require proof of professional maintenance—typically one heating and one cooling tune-up per year. Maintenance includes cleaning coils, verifying refrigerant charge, checking gas pressures, lubricating motors, inspecting safety controls, and replacing filters. Staying on a maintenance plan not only keeps warranties intact (often 10- to 12-year parts coverage) but also maximizes efficiency and reduces the likelihood of unexpected breakdowns.
