FAQs
What types of air-conditioning systems do you install for Evansville homeowners?
We offer a full line of high-efficiency options, including traditional central air-conditioning systems, inverter-driven heat-pump systems, and ductless mini-split units for homes without existing ductwork or for room additions. All equipment we recommend carries at least a 14.3 SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating—the new federal minimum for our region—and many models exceed 20 SEER2 for maximum energy savings in Evansville’s hot, humid summers.
How much can an energy-efficient air conditioner actually save on my utility bills?
Savings depend on the efficiency of your current unit, your home’s insulation, and usage habits, but most clients moving from a 10–13 SEER system to a 16–20+ SEER2 unit see a 25–40 % reduction in summer cooling costs. We perform a cost-of-ownership analysis during your estimate so you can compare projected energy savings against the upfront investment. Because Evansville summers average more than 1,100 cooling hours per year, payback periods on high-efficiency equipment are often just 3–5 seasons.
What is the typical installation timeline and process?
A standard replacement of a central AC or heat-pump system usually takes one full day. Our process includes: 1) pre-installation evaluation and load calculation, 2) proper removal and EPA-compliant disposal of the old refrigerant and equipment, 3) installation of the new outdoor condenser, indoor coil or air handler, and any required line-set or electrical upgrades, 4) charging the system with the correct refrigerant and conducting a full performance test, and 5) homeowner orientation on thermostat operation and maintenance. Ductless mini-split installations can be completed in 1–2 zones per day.
Are there financing options, rebates, or tax incentives available in Evansville for high-efficiency AC installations?
Yes. We partner with local utilities such as CenterPoint Energy to secure rebates—typically $200–$600—when you install ENERGY STAR® certified equipment. Federal tax credits of up to 30 % of the equipment and labor cost (capped at $2,000 for 2024) are also available for qualifying heat pumps under the Inflation Reduction Act. We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months on approved credit so you can spread the remaining cost over comfortable monthly payments.
How do I know what size (tonnage) air conditioner my home really needs?
Correct sizing is critical for efficiency and comfort. We run a Manual J load calculation on every project, factoring in square footage, insulation levels, window type, air leakage, number of occupants, and Evansville’s 94 °F design temperature. This calculation prevents oversizing, which can lead to short cycling and humidity problems, or undersizing, which leaves rooms warm on peak-heat days. You’ll receive a written copy of the load report with your proposal.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new installation?
All systems include a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a one-year labor warranty from Efficient Installations Heating & Air Conditioning. We also provide a complimentary first-year maintenance visit. After that, you can enroll in our Comfort Club, which includes two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on any repairs. Regular maintenance keeps your warranty intact and helps your new AC maintain peak efficiency, extending its service life well beyond the average 12–15 years.
