FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems last 10–15 years. If yours is in that age range, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to keep a steady temperature, or causes noticeably higher utility bills, replacement is typically more economical. A new, properly sized unit can cut energy use by 20–40 %, eliminate repair headaches, and qualify for new-system warranties.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Dunlap home?
Optimal Comfort performs a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window type, sun exposure, and even how many people live in the house. This scientific sizing process ensures your new system isn’t too small (which leads to constant cycling) or too large (which short-cycles, wastes energy, and wears out parts).
How long does HVAC replacement take, and what should I expect on installation day?
A standard residential change-out normally takes 4–8 hours. We arrive on time, cover flooring with drop cloths, remove and recycle the old equipment, upgrade the thermostat and line set if needed, pressure-test the new refrigerant circuit, start the system, and run a full operational check. We finish with a customer walkthrough, thermostat tutorial, and thorough cleanup.
Are there energy-efficient options available, and will they really lower my utility bills?
Yes. We offer ENERGY STAR® furnaces up to 98 % AFUE and heat pumps or air conditioners up to 20 SEER2. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors adjust output to match the exact heating or cooling load, which can trim electric costs 25–45 %. Many customers see the difference on their very next bill.
What rebates, tax credits, or financing plans are offered for HVAC replacement in Dunlap?
Through the Inflation Reduction Act, homeowners can claim up to $2,000 in federal tax credits for qualifying heat pumps and up to $600 for high-efficiency air conditioners or furnaces. TVA EnergyRight® and local utilities often add $150–$400 rebates. We partner with lenders to provide 0 % APR for 12 months or low-interest terms up to 120 months, so you can upgrade now and pay over time.
How often will my new HVAC system need maintenance, and do you offer service plans?
Even a brand-new system should be professionally serviced twice a year—cooling tune-up in spring, heating tune-up in fall. Regular inspections keep the warranty valid, extend equipment life, and maintain peak efficiency. Our Comfort Club plan covers both visits, priority scheduling, 15 % repair discounts, and no overtime fees, all for one low annual price.
