FAQs
What does “transparent pricing” mean for my HVAC replacement in Jefferson City?
Transparent pricing means you see every cost component before you commit—equipment, labor, removal/disposal, permits, taxes, and any accessories. We publish our price ranges online, present a written quote on-site, and never add surprise charges after the work begins. If an unexpected repair is uncovered, we document it with photos, explain the options, and get your approval before proceeding.
How much should I expect to pay for a new HVAC system in Jefferson City?
For a typical 1,600–2,400 sq ft home, a high-efficiency gas furnace and 15–17 SEER2 air-conditioner or heat pump generally runs $7,500–$11,000 installed. Entry-level 14 SEER2 systems start around $5,800, while premium 18–20 SEER2 inverter heat-pump packages with smart controls can reach $13,000–$17,000. Every quote we provide itemizes: model numbers, efficiency ratings, accessories (thermostats, IAQ products), and all labor so you can compare apples to apples.
Are there financing plans, rebates, or tax credits available?
Yes. We offer 0 % APR financing for 12 months or low-interest loans up to 120 months through Synchrony and Missouri Central Credit Union. Ameren Missouri currently offers $250–$650 rebates for qualifying high-efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps, and gas utilities provide $200–$400 furnace incentives. The federal Inflation Reduction Act also provides up to a 30 % tax credit (capped at $2,000) for ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps. We complete all paperwork and deduct confirmed rebates from your final invoice so you don’t wait for checks.
How long will the replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most standard change-outs are completed in a single day. Our crew arrives between 8–9 a.m., removes the old equipment, sets the new pad or hangers, installs the indoor and outdoor units, hooks up electrical, gas, refrigerant, and condensate lines, pulls a deep vacuum, and performs a start-up test. You’ll usually have heating or cooling back by late afternoon. Complex projects—duct modifications, zoning, or attic installs—can extend to two days, but we make sure at least one comfort system is operational overnight whenever possible.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees are included?
All equipment comes with the manufacturer’s registered 10-year parts warranty. We add a 10-year labor warranty and free first-year maintenance visit. Our “Comfort Right or We Make It Right” guarantee means if the system fails to reach the temperature we promised within the first two seasons, we repair or replace it at no charge. In addition, we provide a Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee covering refrigerant leaks, duct seals, and flue connections that we installed.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Jefferson City?
Yes. The City of Jefferson Building & Inspection Division requires a mechanical permit for any furnace, air-conditioner, or heat-pump replacement. Permit fees range from $40 to $90 depending on system size. We pull the permit on your behalf and schedule the final inspection, which typically occurs within 48 hours of completion. Passing inspection protects your homeowner’s insurance and ensures the system meets current IRC, IMC, and energy-code standards.
