FAQs
How can replacing my old HVAC unit lower energy costs in Evensville?
A system that is more than 10–12 years old can be 30–50 % less efficient than today’s ENERGY STAR® models. Modern variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors automatically adjust output to match the exact heating or cooling load, so they run longer at lower power instead of short, high-wattage bursts. In Evensville’s mixed-climate weather, that can trim annual utility bills by 20–40 %. You also benefit from built-in smart diagnostics that alert you to minor issues before they waste energy or become major repairs.
What high-efficiency options work best for our local climate?
For Evensville, heat pumps with a SEER2 rating of 15 or higher and an HSPF2 rating of 8.1 or above are ideal because they cool efficiently in humid summers and heat economically during our mild winters. Dual-fuel (hybrid) systems that pair a heat pump with a high-efficiency gas furnace offer extra savings on the coldest nights. For homes without ductwork, ductless mini-splits provide zoned comfort at 20+ SEER2 and avoid the energy losses associated with leaky ducts.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced to maintain peak efficiency?
Twice a year—once in spring for cooling components and once in fall for heating. A professional tune-up includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant charge, tightening electrical connections, lubricating motors, and verifying airflow. Regular maintenance can improve efficiency by up to 15 %, extend equipment life, and keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
Why does ventilation matter for both energy savings and indoor air quality?
Without controlled ventilation, moisture, CO₂, and pollutants build up indoors, forcing your HVAC unit to work harder and increasing health risks. Mechanical ventilation systems—such as energy recovery ventilators (ERVs)—pre-condition incoming fresh air with the energy from outgoing stale air. That helps maintain comfort while cutting ventilation energy costs by 40–60 % compared with simple exhaust-only fans.
Are there any rebates or tax incentives in Evensville for efficient HVAC upgrades?
Yes. Residents may qualify for TVA EnergyRight rebates on qualifying heat pumps and duct sealing, plus federal tax credits of up to 30 % (capped at $2,000) for high-efficiency heat pumps or furnaces installed in 2024. Our team handles the paperwork and provides AHRI certification numbers so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
How do advanced air filtration and purification devices improve comfort and lower energy use?
High-MERV pleated filters, UV-C lights, and bipolar ionization units capture or neutralize up to 99 % of airborne particles, mold spores, and viruses. Cleaner coils and blower wheels mean better heat transfer and unrestricted airflow, which can reduce fan energy consumption by 5–10 %. Healthier air also lets you set more moderate thermostat temperatures because you no longer rely on extreme conditioning to feel comfortable.
