FAQs
What types of heating and air-conditioning systems do you install in Dunlap?
We install a full range of comfort solutions, including high-efficiency central air conditioners, gas furnaces, dual-fuel heat pumps, ductless mini-split systems, packaged rooftop units, and smart thermostats. Every project begins with a load calculation to size the equipment correctly for Dunlap’s climate, your home’s square footage, insulation level, and duct layout. Our Comfort Specialists then recommend brands and models that meet your budget, energy-efficiency goals, and indoor-air-quality needs.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my HVAC system?
Both heating and cooling equipment should be professionally serviced twice a year—once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before heating season. Routine tune-ups include cleaning coils and burners, replacing or washing filters, checking refrigerant levels, inspecting electrical components, lubricating motors, and verifying thermostat calibration. Regular maintenance extends equipment life, prevents 80-90 % of unexpected breakdowns, maintains manufacturer warranty coverage, and can cut energy costs by up to 15 % annually.
What are the common signs that my air conditioner needs repair or replacement?
Warning indicators include weak or warm airflow, short cycling or constantly running, uneven temperatures between rooms, unusual noises (grinding, squealing, banging), musty or burning odors, moisture around the indoor unit, and utility bills that suddenly spike. If your system is more than 10–15 years old, uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, or requires repeated costly repairs, replacement with a high-efficiency model is usually the most economical and reliable option.
How can I improve indoor air quality while maintaining a comfortable temperature?
Start with regular filter changes: pleated MERV 8–13 filters capture dust, pollen, and pet dander without restricting airflow. Add-on IAQ products—such as whole-home humidifiers, UV-C germicidal lamps, and electronic air cleaners—integrate with your HVAC system to control humidity, deactivate viruses/bacteria, and remove ultra-fine particulates. Sealing duct leaks and ensuring adequate ventilation through energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) also boosts air freshness and overall comfort in Dunlap’s humid summers and cool winters.
Are there energy-efficient options and rebates available for Dunlap homeowners?
Yes. We offer ENERGY STAR®-rated equipment with SEER2 ratings up to 24 and AFUE efficiencies up to 98 %. Qualifying heat pumps and high-efficiency furnaces can earn federal tax credits of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act, plus local utility rebates from EPB or TVA EnergyRight ranging from $150 to $700. Our team handles paperwork, verifies AHRI certificates, and provides a payback analysis so you know how quickly your investment will offset initial costs through lower energy bills.
What happens during a professional HVAC installation or service visit?
On installation day, we protect flooring with drop cloths, remove old equipment, and set new units on vibration-isolating pads. Technicians connect refrigerant lines, gas piping, condensate drains, and sealed duct transitions, then pull a deep vacuum to remove moisture before charging the system with manufacturer-specified refrigerant. Start-up includes testing static pressure, airflow (CFM), and temperature differentials. For routine service calls, our NATE-certified techs perform a 25-point inspection, document findings, and review options with you before any repairs. All work is backed by written warranties and our 100 % satisfaction guarantee.
