FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
In Delano’s hot summers and cool winters, your system works hard year-round. If your heat pump, furnace, or central AC is 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep set temperatures, makes loud noises, or causes unusually high utility bills, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another repair. A new unit will be under warranty, offer higher efficiency ratings, and provide better humidity and temperature control.
How much does HVAC replacement cost in Delano and what factors influence price?
A typical full system replacement in the Delano area ranges from $7,500 to $14,000, including equipment and labor. The final price depends on system type (gas furnace & AC, heat pump, or dual-fuel), capacity (measured in tons/BTUs), energy-efficiency rating (SEER2, HSPF2, AFUE), ductwork modifications, thermostat upgrades, and any indoor air-quality add-ons such as humidifiers or air cleaners. A free in-home assessment is the best way to receive an exact quote.
Are there energy rebates or financing options available in Delano for new HVAC systems?
Yes. Southern California Edison and local natural-gas providers periodically offer rebates for ENERGY STAR® high-efficiency equipment. Federal tax credits of up to 30% of project cost (maximum $2,000) are available for qualifying heat pumps under the Inflation Reduction Act. Our company handles the paperwork, applies any utility rebates directly to your invoice, and offers 0% APR financing with approved credit to spread payments over 12–60 months.
How long does HVAC replacement take and what should I expect on installation day?
Most standard replacements are completed in a single day. We start with protective floor coverings, remove and recycle the old unit, make any required electrical or refrigerant-line upgrades, install the new indoor and outdoor equipment, pressure-test and evacuate the refrigerant lines, and program your smart thermostat. Before we leave, we perform a full system start-up, balance airflow, register warranties, and show you how to use and maintain your new system.
What size heating and cooling system do I need for my Delano home?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort, efficiency, and equipment life. Our comfort consultant performs a Manual J load calculation that measures square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, ceiling height, and air-leakage rates specific to Delano’s climate zone 13. Oversized units short-cycle, while undersized systems run constantly. The load calculation ensures your new HVAC unit delivers the right amount of BTUs for both heating and cooling seasons.
How will a new high-efficiency HVAC system impact my energy bills and indoor comfort?
Upgrading from an older 8–10 SEER AC or 70% AFUE furnace to today’s 16–20 SEER2 heat pump or 96% AFUE furnace can cut cooling and heating costs by 30–50%. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors run at lower speeds for longer periods, eliminating hot and cold spots, reducing humidity, and improving indoor air quality. Many homeowners in Delano notice quieter operation, more even temperatures, and lower monthly utility statements within the first billing cycle.
