FAQs
How do I know if my HVAC system in Kodak needs a full replacement instead of just a repair?
Several warning signs point to replacement: the system is 10–15 years old, utility bills are steadily rising, you need repairs more than once a year, your home has hot-and-cold spots, the unit still uses phased-out R-22 refrigerant, or major components such as the compressor have failed. A technician can run a cost-benefit analysis to compare the price of repairs versus the energy savings and reliability of a new unit.
What factors determine the cost of a new heating and air conditioning installation?
Pricing depends on the system’s capacity (tons/BTUs), efficiency rating (SEER2, HSPF2, AFUE), fuel type (electric, gas, or dual-fuel), brand and model, any ductwork modifications, indoor air-quality add-ons (humidifiers, UV lights, smart thermostats), local permit fees, and the labor involved in removing the old equipment. A free in-home assessment lets us itemize these costs so you can choose the best fit for your budget.
How long will I be without heating or cooling during the replacement?
Most standard residential change-outs in Kodak are completed in one working day—typically 4–8 hours. Larger homes or systems that need duct alterations can take up to two days. We pre-stage equipment, arrive with everything needed, and test the new unit before leaving, minimizing downtime. If extreme weather is expected, we can arrange temporary space heaters or portable AC units at no extra charge.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Kodak, and who handles them?
Yes. Sevier County and the City of Kodak require a mechanical permit and a final inspection for any HVAC replacement to ensure the work meets current building and energy codes. Our office obtains all permits, schedules inspections, and provides the paperwork, saving you time and keeping your project fully compliant.
How do you make sure the new unit is properly sized for my home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation, which measures square footage, insulation levels, window types, sun exposure, number of occupants, and heat-producing appliances. This engineering approach prevents oversizing or undersizing, ensuring steady temperatures, lower energy bills, and longer equipment life. We then recommend a SEER2 or AFUE rating that balances upfront cost with long-term savings.
What warranties and financing options are available for my new HVAC system?
Most manufacturers offer up to 10-year warranties on parts and compressors when the unit is registered, and we include a one-year labor warranty with options to extend to 10 years. We partner with local lenders to provide 0% promotional financing for 12–60 months or low-APR loans with no prepayment penalties. Qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps may also earn utility rebates or federal tax credits of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act.
