FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit in Decherd?
Most heat pumps and central air conditioners last 10–15 years and gas furnaces 15–20 years. You should consider replacement if your system is nearing the end of its life, requires frequent or costly repairs, struggles to maintain temperature or humidity, uses R-22 refrigerant, or causes utility bills to spike. Because Decherd’s hot, humid summers push equipment hard, an aging unit often loses efficiency faster than the national average, making proactive replacement a smart financial decision.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home or business?
Proper sizing is critical—too small and the unit runs nonstop, too large and it short-cycles, wasting energy and shortening its life. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation level, window type, air leakage, number of occupants, and Decherd’s design temperatures. This engineering approach, rather than rules of thumb like “tons per square foot,” ensures your new system delivers balanced comfort and the lowest possible operating cost.
How long does HVAC replacement take and what should I expect during installation?
Most residential change-outs are completed in one day, while light-commercial jobs may take two to three days if ductwork or controls are upgraded. Our certified technicians arrive at a scheduled time, protect flooring with drop cloths, recover and responsibly dispose of old refrigerant, remove the existing equipment, set the new indoor and outdoor units, connect refrigerant and electrical lines, pressure-test and vacuum the system, charge it to factory specs, and perform a full start-up checklist. Before leaving, we demonstrate thermostat functions and register your warranties.
Are high-efficiency HVAC units really worth the investment?
Yes. A new 16–20 SEER2 heat pump or air conditioner paired with a 90-plus-AFUE furnace can cut cooling costs by 30–50 % and heating costs by 20–40 % compared with a 10–12 SEER system installed in the early 2000s. Given Decherd’s roughly 1,600 cooling-degree days per year, most homeowners recover the additional upfront cost through lower energy bills within 4–7 years. High-efficiency models also offer variable-speed compressors and ECM blowers that deliver quieter operation, better humidity control, and longer component life.
Do you offer financing or rebates for HVAC replacements in Decherd?
Absolutely. We partner with national lenders to provide 0 % APR options for 6–18 months and low-interest plans up to 120 months with no prepayment penalties. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) EnergyRight rebates of $150–$800 may apply to qualifying heat pumps, and manufacturers periodically issue instant rebates or extended labor warranties. Our comfort consultant will walk you through current promotions and handle all rebate paperwork so you can maximize savings.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new HVAC unit?
Most of our industry-leading systems include a 10-year parts warranty and a 10- to 12-year compressor warranty when registered within 60 days of installation. We add a one-year labor warranty at no cost, with options to extend labor coverage to 10 years. To keep your warranty valid and performance at peak, we offer affordable maintenance agreements that provide two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on any out-of-warranty repairs—a valuable benefit in Decherd’s demanding climate.
