FAQs
What size air conditioner do I need for my home in Madisonville?
Sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, window type, and the local climate’s heat-and-humidity load. During an in-home assessment, our comfort specialists perform a Manual J load calculation, the industry standard for determining the correct tonnage (BTU output) for Madisonville’s hot, humid summers. An accurately sized system prevents short-cycling, maximizes energy efficiency, and ensures even cooling across all rooms.
How energy-efficient are the systems you install, and what SEER rating should I look for?
We offer ENERGY STAR®-qualified equipment ranging from 15 to 20+ SEER2. For Madisonville’s climate zone, the Department of Energy now requires a minimum 14.3 SEER2 on new split systems. Choosing a higher SEER2 (16–18) can cut cooling costs by 20–35 %, especially during July–August peak demand. We’ll explain the efficiency-to-cost payback so you can choose the model that balances up-front price with long-term savings.
How long does a typical air-conditioning installation take?
Most standard change-outs (replacing an existing outdoor unit and indoor coil or air handler) are completed in one full day. If we’re upgrading ductwork, adding zoning, or converting from a different fuel source, the project can extend to two or three days. We schedule permits and inspections with the City of Madisonville in advance to keep the timeline on track.
Are there rebates or financing options available for Madisonville homeowners?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program currently offers rebates of up to $400 on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and central A/C units. Many electric cooperatives in Monroe County provide low-interest on-bill financing that lets you spread payments over 36–60 months. We handle rebate paperwork and offer in-house financing with approved credit, making upgrades more affordable.
What maintenance is required after installation, and do you offer service plans?
Routine maintenance protects your warranty and efficiency. We recommend two tune-ups per year—one in spring (cooling) and one in fall (heating). Our Comfort Shield Plan includes these visits, priority scheduling, 15 % repair discounts, and no overtime fees. During each visit we clean coils, check refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, and test safety controls so your system runs reliably through Madisonville’s toughest weather.
Will a new air conditioner improve my indoor air quality?
Absolutely. Modern systems feature variable-speed blowers that enhance air circulation and humidity control, reducing mold and allergen growth common in Madisonville’s humid environment. We can integrate MERV-13 filters, UV lights, or whole-home dehumidifiers during installation. These add-ons capture fine particulates and neutralize airborne pathogens, creating a cleaner, healthier indoor space.
