FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Several warning signs suggest replacement is more cost-effective than another repair: (1) the system is 12–15 years old, (2) you face frequent breakdowns or expensive component failures such as a compressor, (3) energy bills are climbing despite routine maintenance, and (4) the unit uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured. Our technicians can perform a load calculation and cost-benefit analysis, so you can see whether a new, high-efficiency system will save you money in Heiskell’s hot, humid summers and cool winters.
What is included in a professional HVAC replacement from your Heiskell installation team?
A full replacement starts with an in-home assessment and Manual J load calculation to size the system properly. On installation day we remove and recycle the old equipment, install the new indoor coil, outdoor condenser, and air handler or furnace, replace the refrigerant lines as needed, set a new pad, upgrade the thermostat, pressure-test and evacuate the refrigerant circuit, charge the system to factory specs, seal and insulate duct connections, and perform a complete start-up inspection. We finish with homeowner training, final paperwork for warranties and rebates, and disposal of all job-site debris.
How long does an HVAC unit replacement usually take?
Most straight change-outs in Heiskell take one working day—about 6–10 hours, including system start-up and cleanup. If you need significant duct modifications, electrical upgrades, or a new line-set route, the job may extend to two days. We schedule convenient arrival times, keep you updated, and restore heating or cooling before we leave each night, even on multi-day projects.
Do I need permits or inspections for a new HVAC system in Heiskell?
Yes. Knox County and the State of Tennessee require a mechanical permit and, in many cases, an electrical permit for condenser or air-handler replacements. As a licensed contractor, we secure all necessary permits, coordinate county inspections, and provide documented proof of code compliance. Handling the paperwork for you prevents delays and ensures your warranty remains valid.
What energy savings can I expect from a modern high-efficiency unit?
Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner installed in the early 2000s with a current 16-SEER model can cut cooling energy use by about 35 percent. Variable-speed heat pumps rated 18–20 SEER2 and 9–10 HSPF2 can trim annual heating and cooling costs up to 45 percent. The exact savings depends on home size, duct sealing, insulation, and thermostat settings, but most Heiskell homeowners see payback in 5–7 years through lower utility bills and available TVA rebates.
Do you offer financing or extended warranties for HVAC replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with several financing providers to offer low-interest and no-interest plans, subject to credit approval, with terms from 6 to 120 months. Each new system comes with a 10-year parts warranty, and our labor warranty ranges from 1 to 3 years. You may also purchase extended labor coverage up to 10 years for added peace of mind. All warranty registrations are completed by our office on your behalf within the manufacturer’s required timeframe.
