FAQs
What HVAC services do you provide in Lynchburg?
We offer complete heating and air-conditioning solutions for residential and light-commercial customers in Lynchburg and the surrounding counties. Our services include new HVAC system design and installation, replacement of outdated furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners, seasonal maintenance plans, emergency repairs, indoor-air-quality products (humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air cleaners, and UV lights), thermostat upgrades, and ductwork inspection or modification.
How often should I have my HVAC system serviced?
For Lynchburg’s four-season climate, we recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in early spring for the cooling side and one in early fall for the heating side. Regular maintenance helps maintain energy efficiency, reduces the risk of breakdowns during extreme temperatures, keeps manufacturer warranties valid, and can extend equipment life by 5–8 years.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home in Lynchburg’s climate?
Proper sizing depends on the home’s square footage, insulation levels, window area, air leakage, and orientation to the sun. During an in-home consultation we perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact heating and cooling loads in BTUs. Choosing the right size is critical—an oversized unit will short-cycle, wasting energy and creating humidity problems, while an undersized unit will run constantly and struggle in Lynchburg’s hot, humid summers or chilly winters.
How can I improve my home’s indoor air quality (IAQ)?
Start with a high-efficiency pleated air filter and replace or clean it every 1–3 months. We can also install whole-home air purifiers that remove allergens and odors, UV germicidal lights that neutralize bacteria and viruses inside the air handler, and balanced ventilation systems that bring in fresh outdoor air without sacrificing efficiency. Maintaining 40%–50% indoor humidity with a humidifier in winter and a dehumidifier in summer further suppresses dust, mold, and respiratory irritants.
Are there energy-efficient HVAC options that qualify for rebates or tax incentives in Virginia?
Yes. ENERGY STAR-certified heat pumps with SEER2 ratings of 15.2 or higher and furnaces with AFUE ratings of 95% or above may qualify for federal tax credits of up to $2,000 under the 25C program. Local utilities such as Appalachian Power also offer rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps or smart thermostats. We will handle all paperwork and provide documentation so you can claim every available incentive and maximize long-term energy savings.
