FAQs
When is it time to replace my HVAC unit in Deer Lodge?
Most systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is that age, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep up with Deer Lodge’s hot summers or sub-zero winters, or your energy bills keep climbing, a replacement will likely save money and improve comfort.
How do you determine the right-sized HVAC system for my home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation, window type, orientation, air leakage, and local climate data for Deer Lodge. This calculation ensures the new equipment delivers efficient heating and cooling without short-cycling or running nonstop.
How long will the replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
A straightforward change-out usually takes one working day. More complex jobs—such as duct repairs, zoning upgrades, or converting from fuel oil to natural gas—may take two to three days. We keep at least one zone operational whenever possible and provide temporary heaters or portable AC units if an overnight shutdown is unavoidable.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for installing a new HVAC system in Deer Lodge?
Yes. NorthWestern Energy often offers $300–$700 rebates for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and furnaces. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can cover up to 30 % of the equipment cost (maximum $2,000 for heat pumps and $600 for gas furnaces). We handle the paperwork and supply the AHRI certificates you’ll need to claim them.
What does an HVAC replacement cost and what affects the price?
In Deer Lodge, a standard gas furnace/AC package runs $6,500–$9,000 installed. High-efficiency dual-fuel or variable-speed heat pump systems range from $9,500–$14,000. Price is driven by equipment efficiency (SEER2/HSPF/AFUE ratings), capacity, duct modifications, refrigerant line length, thermostat upgrades, and any required electrical or gas service changes.
What maintenance is required after the new system is installed?
Replace or wash filters every 1–3 months, keep outdoor coils clear of debris, and schedule professional tune-ups twice a year—heating in fall, cooling in spring. Routine maintenance protects your warranty, keeps energy use low, and helps the system reach its full life expectancy in Deer Lodge’s demanding climate.
