FAQs
How do I know if my HVAC unit needs replacement instead of repair?
In Jefferson City’s four-season climate, systems work hard year-round. If your unit is 10–15 years old, needs frequent repairs, struggles to maintain set temperatures, or causes noticeably higher utility bills, replacement is usually more economical than another major repair. Our technicians perform a detailed load calculation, inspect the compressor, heat exchanger, and refrigerant levels, and give you an honest assessment so you can decide with clear cost comparisons.
What size and type of system is best for homes in Jefferson City?
Proper sizing is critical. An oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy; an undersized unit runs nonstop and wears out quickly. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in Jefferson City’s summer humidity, winter lows, insulation, window orientation, and household occupancy. Based on those results we recommend the most efficient option—typically a high-efficiency heat pump with backup gas furnace (dual fuel) or a variable-speed air conditioner paired with a 96%+ AFUE furnace for balanced comfort all year.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most standard residential change-outs in Jefferson City take one full day. Complex jobs—new ductwork, zoning, or line-set rerouting—may take up to two days. We schedule installations during milder weather whenever possible, provide temporary space heaters or portable AC units if needed, and restore heating or cooling before we leave each evening. Permits and final inspections with the City of Jefferson are handled by our office to keep your project on schedule.
Are there any rebates or financing options available in Jefferson City for new HVAC installations?
Yes. Ameren Missouri often offers $300–$900 in rebates for ENERGY STAR® heat pumps and high-efficiency air conditioners. Federal tax credits of up to 30% (capped at $2,000 for heat pumps and $600 for furnaces or ACs) are available under the Inflation Reduction Act through 2032. We partner with local credit unions to provide 0% interest for 12 months or low-APR plans up to 120 months. Our team files all rebate paperwork and supplies the AHRI certificate so you receive every incentive you qualify for.
How much will a complete HVAC replacement cost, and what factors influence the price?
In Jefferson City, a straightforward 3-ton system replacement ranges from $6,500 to $11,000. Costs vary with system type (single-stage vs. variable-speed), efficiency rating (SEER2/HSPF/AFUE), ductwork modifications, thermostat upgrades, and indoor air-quality add-ons such as humidifiers or UV lights. We provide a written, line-item quote after an on-site evaluation, and we never charge hidden fees. All pricing includes equipment, labor, permits, haul-away of the old unit, and a one-year labor warranty.
What kind of maintenance is required after installing a new system, and what warranties do you provide?
A new unit should be professionally tuned up twice a year—cooling service in spring, heating service in fall—to keep manufacturer warranties valid and maintain efficiency. Homeowners should replace or clean filters every 1–3 months and keep outdoor units free of leaves and debris. We register your equipment for a 10-year parts warranty (12 years on select models) and include a one-year labor warranty, extendable to 10 years through our Comfort Club maintenance plan, which also provides priority emergency service and 15% repair discounts.
