FAQs
What sets your state-of-the-art air-conditioning equipment apart from standard units?
Our systems use variable-speed inverter compressors, ECM fan motors, and advanced refrigerant management to deliver precise cooling with up to 24 SEER2 efficiency. Compared with conventional single-stage units, they adjust output in real time, eliminating temperature swings, reducing energy consumption by as much as 40 %, and operating at whisper-quiet sound levels (as low as 55 dB).
How does a high-efficiency air conditioner lower my energy bills in Loudon’s humid summers?
Because the compressor and fans modulate rather than cycle on and off, high-efficiency equipment maintains the exact cooling load required, reducing power spikes. In Loudon’s long cooling season, the added dehumidification control lets you raise the thermostat 2–3 °F without sacrificing comfort, yielding average annual savings of $250–$500 on a typical 2,000-sq-ft home.
Can your AC systems integrate with smart thermostats and home-automation platforms?
Yes. All of our premium models are Wi-Fi enabled and compatible with leading smart thermostats such as ecobee, Honeywell T-Series, and Nest. They also support voice assistants (Alexa, Google, Siri) and open-API home-automation hubs, allowing remote temperature scheduling, energy-use monitoring, and automatic alerts for filter changes or service reminders.
What is the installation timeline, and will my daily routine be disrupted?
A standard change-out takes 4–6 hours, while a full system upgrade with new ductwork may require one to two days. We perform a pre-installation walkthrough, protect flooring with drop cloths, and haul away the old equipment. Power and HVAC will be off only during critical tie-in steps (typically 1–2 hours), so your household experiences minimal downtime.
What maintenance is needed to keep state-of-the-art AC equipment performing at its best?
Aside from replacing or cleaning filters every 30–60 days, we recommend a professional tune-up each spring. Our technicians inspect refrigerant levels, calibrate sensors, clean the outdoor coil with non-corrosive agents, and update firmware on the control board. Regular maintenance preserves the warranty, ensures peak efficiency, and can extend system life to 15–20 years.
Are there financing or rebate options for upgrading to a high-efficiency AC system in Loudon?
Absolutely. We offer 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months on qualifying installations. In addition, TVA’s EnergyRight program and Loudon Utilities often provide rebates of $150–$300 for ENERGY STAR Most Efficient rated units. Federal tax credits up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act may also apply when the equipment meets the required SEER2 ratings.
