FAQs
When should I replace my HVAC unit in Etowah instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Etowah last 10–15 years. Replacement becomes the smarter choice when the unit is over a decade old, needs frequent or costly repairs (roughly 50 % of the price of a new system), struggles to keep up with Etowah’s humid summers or chilly winter nights, or still uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured. A new unit delivers higher efficiency, better comfort, and lower utility bills.
How do I know what size HVAC system my Etowah home needs?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort and efficiency. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation that measures square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air-leakage rates, occupancy, and local Etowah climate data. This scientific approach prevents the common problems of an oversized system (short cycling, humidity issues) or an undersized one (constant running, uneven temperatures).
How long will my HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A typical residential replacement in Etowah takes one full day. We remove the old equipment, prepare ductwork, set the new condenser and air handler/furnace, connect electrical and refrigerant lines, pressure-test, evacuate, and charge the system. You’ll be without heating or cooling only during actual change-out hours, and we schedule around mild weather when possible. Complex jobs—such as duct redesign or indoor air-quality add-ons—may take a second day, but we’ll let you know in advance.
Are there energy-efficiency rebates, tax credits, or financing options available in Etowah?
Yes. Homeowners can claim up to a $2,000 federal tax credit on qualifying heat pumps and a $600 credit on high-efficiency gas furnaces through 2032. TVA’s EnergyRight program often offers $150–$500 rebates for ENERGY STAR® units installed by a Quality Contractor Network member. We partner with local banks and national lenders to offer 0 % APR promotional financing for 12–60 months, subject to credit approval, so you can replace now and pay over time.
What does an HVAC replacement cost in Etowah, and what affects the price?
In Etowah, a standard split heat-pump or gas-furnace/AC combo typically ranges from $6,500 to $11,000, installed. Variable-speed or communicating systems may run $12,000–$16,000. Price depends on capacity (tons or BTUs), SEER2/HSPF2 or AFUE efficiency rating, duct modifications, smart-thermostat upgrades, indoor-air-quality accessories, and any electrical or pad work. We provide a free in-home estimate with good-better-best options so you can choose the package that fits your budget.
What warranty and maintenance support do you provide after installation?
Our reliable solution includes a 10-year parts warranty and up to a 10-year labor warranty when you register the equipment within 60 days. You also receive a complimentary first-year maintenance visit to fine-tune performance. To keep warranties valid and ensure peak efficiency, we offer our Comfort Club plan: two precision tune-ups per year, priority service, and 15 % repair discounts. This proactive care can add 3–5 years to the life of your new Etowah HVAC system.
