FAQs
What advantages will I see by replacing my older HVAC system with an energy-saving unit in New Market?
A modern high-efficiency heat pump, air-conditioner, or gas furnace can cut your heating and cooling bills by 30–50 %. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blowers use less electricity, maintain steadier temperatures, and remove humidity more effectively—important during New Market’s sticky summers and chilly winters. You’ll also enjoy quieter operation, better indoor-air quality from advanced filtration options, and a higher home resale value. Because high-efficiency models qualify for utility rebates and federal tax incentives, the payback period is usually shorter than owners expect.
How do I choose the correct size and efficiency rating (SEER2, HSPF2, AFUE) for my home?
Proper sizing starts with a Manual J load calculation that measures square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, air leakage, and occupancy. Oversized equipment short-cycles and wastes energy; undersized units run constantly and still can’t keep you comfortable. During a free in-home consultation we perform the load study and then present system options—for example, a 16–20 SEER2 heat pump paired with a 96 % AFUE furnace for dual-fuel setups. We’ll explain initial cost versus lifetime savings so you can select the unit that offers the best balance of comfort, efficiency, and budget.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for installing high-efficiency HVAC equipment in New Market?
Yes. Through the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit you can claim up to $2,000 on qualifying heat pumps and $600 on high-efficiency furnaces or A/C coils. Locally, Potomac Edison’s EmPOWER Maryland program offers $300–$750 per unit depending on SEER2/HSPF2 ratings. Low-interest financing for energy upgrades is available through the Maryland Clean Energy Center, and some manufacturers are currently offering instant cash rebates. Our office will identify all applicable programs, prepare the paperwork, and submit rebate forms on your behalf.
How long will the HVAC replacement take, and will my home be without heating or cooling during that time?
Most straight swaps (new outdoor condensing unit, indoor coil or air handler, and thermostat) are completed in 4–8 hours. If ductwork modifications, line-set replacement, or attic equipment are involved, the job can extend to a full day. You’ll be without heating or cooling only while we disconnect the old system and pressure-test the new one—typically 2–4 hours. For winter installations we offer temporary space heaters at no charge, and in summer we schedule early-morning starts to minimize discomfort.
What kind of energy savings should I expect after installing a high-efficiency unit?
Savings depend on your current equipment’s age and efficiency. Replacing a 15-year-old 10 SEER air conditioner with a 17 SEER2 model can reduce cooling costs by about 40 %. Upgrading an 80 % AFUE furnace to 96 % can shave 20 % or more off annual gas bills. For an average 2,000-sq-ft New Market home, that translates to $300–$600 in yearly utility savings. Because today’s systems also offer smart thermostats, zoning, and variable-speed operation, many customers see even greater reductions.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new HVAC system?
Most premium manufacturers provide 10-year parts warranties and limited lifetime heat-exchanger coverage on furnaces when the product is registered within 60 days. We include a one-year labor warranty and offer affordable extended-labor plans for up to 10 years. To keep the warranty valid and your system running efficiently, we recommend our Comfort Club: two precision tune-ups per year, priority service, no overtime fees, and discounts on filters and accessories. Routine maintenance can add 5–8 years to equipment life and preserve the energy savings you invested in.
