FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
In Evensville’s climate, most heat pumps and central air systems last 12–15 years, while gas furnaces last about 15–20 years. If your system is in that age range and you’re facing a repair that exceeds 30–40 % of the cost of a new unit, replacement is usually more economical. Other red flags include rising utility bills, uneven temperatures from room to room, excessive noise, and repeated service calls within a short period.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Evensville home?
Proper sizing is critical; an oversized unit will short-cycle and waste energy, while an undersized one will never keep up on humid summer days. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window types, orientation to the sun, and even the number of occupants. For example, a well-insulated 2,000 sq ft home in Evensville might need a 2.5–3 ton heat pump or a 60,000 BTU furnace, but only a professional load calculation can give an exact answer.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take from start to finish?
Most residential change-outs are completed in a single day. The process includes removing the old equipment, setting the new air handler or furnace, installing the outdoor condenser or heat pump, reconnecting ductwork, wiring, and refrigerant lines, then pressure testing and vacuuming the system before charging it with refrigerant. We finish with a full operational check and thermostat tutorial. Complex jobs (duct modifications or indoor air-quality add-ons) can extend the timeline to two days.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available to Evensville homeowners?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program periodically offers rebates for qualifying heat pumps with a SEER2 rating of 15.2 or higher. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $2,000 for heat pumps meeting CEE Tier 2 standards and up to $600 for high-efficiency furnaces or air conditioners. Additionally, many manufacturers run seasonal promotions that can save you $300–$1,000 on equipment. We help customers file the paperwork so they receive every available incentive.
What does an HVAC replacement typically cost in Evensville?
Prices depend on capacity, efficiency, and any duct or electrical upgrades required. As a local average, a 14.3 SEER2 2-ton heat pump system starts around $6,500 installed. High-efficiency variable-speed systems can range from $9,000–$13,000. Gas furnace and A/C combinations run $7,000–$12,000, depending on efficiency and staging. We provide written, line-item estimates so you can see exactly where every dollar goes and compare options side by side.
How should I prepare my home for HVAC installation day?
Clear a 3- to 4-foot wide path from your doorway to the indoor unit, move fragile items off walls or shelves near work areas, and secure pets in a separate room. If your thermostat will be replaced, back up any custom programming. Make sure the outdoor unit location is accessible by trimming bushes and removing lawn ornaments. Plan to be home for the final walkthrough so we can review the new system’s features, warranty registration, and recommended maintenance schedule.
