FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Friendsville have a service life of 10–15 years. If your unit is in that age range, needs frequent repairs, causes uneven temperatures, or has a SEER rating below today’s efficiency standards, replacement is usually the more cost-effective solution. Tailored Solutions technicians perform a free on-site evaluation, calculating the long-term operating cost of keeping your old system versus installing a new high-efficiency model.
What size HVAC unit do I need for my Friendsville home?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, duct design, and even local climate data for Blount County. We run a Manual J load calculation during our estimate visit, ensuring the new system delivers the right amount of BTUs without short-cycling or wasting energy. An accurately sized unit maximizes comfort, lowers utility bills, and extends equipment life.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
A straightforward change-out typically takes one day. Complex jobs involving duct modifications, zoning, or indoor air quality add-ons may extend to two days. We schedule installations to minimize downtime, arriving with all equipment on the truck and temporary heaters or spot coolers if extreme weather is expected, so you’re rarely without conditioned air for more than a few hours.
What kind of energy savings can I expect from a new high-efficiency system?
Upgrading from a 10 SEER unit to a 16–18 SEER heat pump can cut cooling costs by 35–45 %. Gas furnace replacements moving from 80 % to 96 % AFUE save 15–20 % on winter heating. Many Friendsville customers see their electric bills drop $40–$70 per month, recouping the investment in 3–6 years, especially when paired with smart thermostats and duct sealing.
Are financing or rebates available for HVAC replacements in Friendsville?
Yes. Tailored Solutions partners with multiple lenders to offer 0 % APR plans for up to 18 months or low-interest terms up to 120 months. Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight program and manufacturer promotions often provide rebates of $200–$700 on qualifying heat pumps and furnaces. We handle all paperwork and apply eligible utility or tax incentives to your quote upfront.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new system?
Most of our featured brands include a 10-year parts and compressor warranty and a 1- to 2-year labor warranty. Tailored Solutions adds a complimentary first-year maintenance visit and offers discounted Comfort Club plans covering two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and 15 % off repairs. Regular maintenance keeps warranties valid and protects your investment.
