FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my heating and air conditioning system in Greenback?
Older HVAC equipment typically operates at 60–80 % efficiency, meaning up to 40 % of the energy you pay for is wasted. New ENERGY STAR® rated systems reach 95 %+ efficiency and use advanced compressors and variable-speed blowers that match output to real-time demand. In Greenback’s humid summers and chilly winters, that translates into lower utility bills, more consistent comfort, and reduced risk of an unexpected breakdown during extreme weather.
What energy savings can I expect from a high-efficiency system upgrade?
Most Greenback homeowners see heating and cooling costs drop 20–40 % after replacing equipment that is 10–15 years old. A side-by-side comparison performed during your in-home estimate will show projected kilowatt-hour and therm savings based on local Knoxville Utilities Board (KUB) rates. Over the 15-year lifespan of a new unit, those savings often offset a significant portion—sometimes all—of the upfront investment.
How long does the upgrade process take from start to finish?
Once you approve the proposal, equipment typically arrives within 2–3 business days. Standard change-outs (furnace, coil, and condenser or heat pump) are completed in a single day, while duct modifications, zoning, or indoor air quality add-ons can extend the job to 2–3 days. Our team handles removal and environmentally responsible disposal of your old refrigerant and equipment, final inspection, and a detailed walkthrough before we leave.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC upgrade in Greenback?
Yes. Loudon County requires a mechanical permit for any system replacement that involves refrigerant lines, duct alterations, or electrical changes. We pull the permit on your behalf, schedule the county inspection, and ensure the installation meets International Residential Code (IRC) standards as well as manufacturer specifications—protecting your warranty and resale value.
Are there financing options or rebates available for energy-efficient upgrades?
Absolutely. We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 60 months on qualifying systems through Synchrony and Wells Fargo. In addition, TVA’s EnergyRight® program currently provides rebates of $150–$300 for high-efficiency heat pumps and dual-fuel systems. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act cover 30 % of the installed cost (up to $2,000) for qualifying heat pumps and 25C-eligible furnaces purchased in 2023–2032.
Will a new HVAC system improve my indoor air quality?
Yes. Modern systems support higher-MERV filtration, whole-home dehumidifiers, and bipolar ionization that older blowers can’t handle. Variable-speed fans run at low circulation rates most of the day, steadily pulling air through filters and UV lights so dust, pollen, and germs are captured before you breathe them. During your estimate we measure current humidity and particulate levels and recommend add-ons if needed.
