FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my heating and air conditioning unit rather than repair it?
Most systems in Kodak last 10–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age and you’re facing frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, or costly components such as the compressor or heat exchanger have failed, replacement is usually more economical. A rule of thumb is: if a repair costs more than 40% of the price of a new system—and the unit is over 10 years old—replacement is the better investment.
What does a complete HVAC replacement cost in the Kodak area?
Pricing varies with efficiency ratings, system type, and home size, but in Kodak you can expect: • 2–3 ton heat pump or air-conditioner change-out: $6,500–$9,500 installed. • Gas furnace and AC combo: $8,000–$12,000 installed. • High-efficiency inverter heat pump systems: $10,000–$15,000 installed. These figures include equipment, labor, basic duct adjustments, permits, and haul-away of the old unit. Ductwork replacement, zoning, or indoor air quality add-ons will raise the price.
How do you determine the right size (tonnage) for my new HVAC system?
Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation on every Kodak replacement. This engineering analysis factors in square footage, insulation levels, windows, orientation to the sun, and local design temperatures (15 °F winter / 92 °F summer). Sizing purely by the old unit’s tonnage often leads to oversizing, which causes short cycling, humidity issues, and higher utility bills. The load calculation ensures your new system is properly matched to your home’s actual heating and cooling demand.
How long does the replacement process take and will I be without heating or cooling?
A straightforward change-out typically takes one full day. We begin by safeguarding your floors, removing refrigerant, disconnecting and disposing of the old equipment, setting the new indoor and outdoor units, making electrical and refrigerant connections, evacuating and charging the system, then testing airflow and controls. You’ll usually be without heating or cooling for only 4–6 hours. More complex jobs with duct modifications or attic work may extend to two days, but we’ll keep at least one zone or space heater/portable AC running whenever possible.
Are rebates, tax credits, or financing available for HVAC replacements in Kodak?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program often offers $150–$400 rebates for qualifying heat pumps. Federal tax credits of 30% up to $2,000 are available on ENERGY STAR-certified heat pumps meeting the new 2023 CEE Tier 2 efficiency levels. Many manufacturers run seasonal rebates ($300–$1,200) on high-efficiency systems. We also offer 0% APR financing for 12–18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months through Synchrony and Wells Fargo, letting you spread the investment over manageable monthly payments.
What kind of warranty and ongoing maintenance should I expect?
Most of our replacement systems come with a 10-year parts warranty from the manufacturer and a 1-year labor warranty from us, extendable to 10 years with a maintenance agreement. Compressor and heat exchanger coverage can be lifetime on select models. We include the first year of our Comfort Club plan—two precision tune-ups, priority service, no overtime fees, and a 15% repair discount. Annual maintenance is critical to keep warranties valid and ensure peak efficiency in Kodak’s humid summers and chilly winters.
