FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Decherd last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent or costly repairs (over 30 % of the price of a new system), uses R-22 refrigerant, or can’t keep up with Decherd’s humid summers and chilly winter nights, replacement is usually the smarter investment. A new system will be more efficient, quieter, and covered by a fresh manufacturer warranty.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take in Decherd?
For a straightforward like-for-like change-out, our crew can usually complete the removal, installation, duct adjustments, start-up, and cleanup in one working day. Complex projects—adding zoning, upgrading ductwork, or installing indoor air-quality accessories—may take 1½–2 days. We schedule around Decherd Utilities’ inspection times so you’ll have heating or cooling restored the same evening whenever possible.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Decherd home?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window area, orientation, and the local climate (Decherd’s 1% design temps are 93 °F summer / 19 °F winter). Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact BTU and SEER2 rating you need. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run nonstop and wear out early. After the load calculation we’ll recommend the right capacity—often 2–4 tons for the average Franklin County residence.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available in Decherd for new HVAC installations?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program offers rebates for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners installed by a Quality Contractor Network (QCN) member—our company is certified. Federal tax credits (up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act for heat pumps meeting specific efficiency tiers) also apply, and most ENERGY STAR systems qualify. We handle all rebate paperwork and provide the AHRI certificate you need for tax filing.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new HVAC unit?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year parts warranty when the system is registered within 60 days of installation. We add a 2-year labor warranty at no extra charge, and you can choose extended labor coverage up to 10 years. Our Comfort Shield maintenance plan includes two seasonal tune-ups, priority service, 15 % repair discounts, and keeps your warranty valid—important in Decherd’s dusty summers and pollen-heavy springs.
How much will a complete HVAC replacement cost and what financing options are available?
Prices vary with capacity, efficiency, and accessories, but in Decherd a typical 3-ton heat-pump system with new thermostat and basic duct modifications runs $6,500–$10,000 installed. Dual-fuel or high-SEER2 inverter systems can reach $12,000+. We offer 0 % APR financing for 12–18 months, longer-term plans up to 120 months, and accept TVA on-bill financing.
