FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
After more than 20 years of servicing and installing systems in Dayton, we’ve found that replacement makes sense when (1) your unit is 12–15 years old, (2) major components such as the compressor or heat exchanger fail, (3) you face frequent breakdowns that add up to 40 % or more of the cost of a new system, or (4) energy bills have crept up despite regular maintenance. Because we have extensive diagnostic experience, we’ll always start with a thorough evaluation and share repair-versus-replace cost comparisons before recommending a new unit.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Dayton home?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort and efficiency. We perform a Manual J load calculation that accounts for square footage, insulation, window orientation, occupancy, and even Dayton’s four-season climate. Relying on our decades of local installation data, we avoid the common pitfall of oversizing, which can cause short cycling and humidity issues. Once the calculation is complete, we’ll present you with two or three right-sized options so you can balance initial cost with long-term operating savings.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take with your experienced team?
In most cases we can remove the old equipment, set the new indoor and outdoor units, connect ductwork and linesets, pressurize, evacuate, start up, and test in one full working day. Homes that need duct modifications or electrical panel upgrades may take an additional day. Because our lead installers each have 10-plus years with the company, they can anticipate challenges and keep the project on schedule while maintaining workmanship that meets or exceeds Dayton Mechanical Codes.
What efficiency ratings should I consider, and how much can I save on energy bills?
For air conditioners, look for SEER2 ratings of 14.3 (minimum) up to 20+. For gas furnaces, AFUE ranges from 80 % to 98 %. Heat pumps now reach 8.8 HSPF2 or higher. Upgrading from a 10-SEER AC and 80 % furnace to a 16-SEER AC and 96 % furnace can cut annual heating and cooling costs by roughly 35 – 40 % in Dayton’s climate. Our experienced comfort advisors will model your exact savings based on utility rates, runtime hours, and the insulation levels in your home.
Do you offer financing, rebates, or tax credits for HVAC replacement in Dayton?
Yes. We partner with multiple lenders to provide low-interest and 0 % promotional financing for qualified homeowners. Because we’re an authorized contractor with DP&L and Columbia Gas incentive programs, we complete the paperwork and deduct utility rebates upfront. Additionally, qualifying heat pumps and high-efficiency furnaces may be eligible for up to $2,000 in federal Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. Our office team tracks every incentive to ensure you receive the maximum available savings.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new system installed by your company?
All major brands we install carry a 10-year parts warranty when registered, and many high-tier models include a 10-year compressor or heat exchanger replacement guarantee. Our workmanship is covered by a comprehensive 2-year labor warranty—double the local industry standard. To protect your investment long term, we offer an affordable Comfort Club maintenance plan that provides biannual tune-ups, priority scheduling, 15 % repair discounts, and keeps manufacturer warranties valid. Over 1,500 Dayton homeowners currently rely on this plan to keep their new systems running at peak performance.
