FAQs
What makes Cutting-Edge Solutions different from other HVAC companies in Old Fort?
Unlike traditional contractors, we focus on next-generation equipment and smart technology. Our team is certified to install variable-speed heat pumps, inverter-driven mini-splits, and Wi-Fi–enabled thermostats that learn your comfort preferences. We also use digital load-calculation software to size every system precisely for Old Fort’s humid subtropical climate, ensuring lower energy bills and superior comfort.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my heating and air conditioning system?
For peak performance in Old Fort’s four-season weather, we recommend professional maintenance twice a year—once in the spring for cooling and once in the fall for heating. During each visit, our NATE-certified technicians clean coils, check refrigerant levels, calibrate controls, test safety switches, and replace or wash filters. Regular tune-ups extend equipment life, maintain efficiency, and keep manufacturer warranties valid.
Can a smart thermostat really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Smart thermostats use algorithms, motion sensors, and outdoor weather data to adjust temperatures automatically when you’re away or asleep. Studies show savings of 10–15 % on cooling and up to 12 % on heating. We pair smart thermostats with zoned ductwork or ductless systems, giving Old Fort homeowners even greater control over spaces that heat up or cool down faster, like sunrooms or bonus rooms.
What indoor air quality (IAQ) options do you offer for homes in Old Fort?
Because our area experiences high pollen counts and seasonal humidity, we provide whole-house air purifiers, media filters, UV-C germicidal lights, and energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs). These add-ons integrate with your HVAC system to capture 99 % of airborne particles, neutralize mold spores, and introduce fresh, filtered air without sacrificing efficiency. We also offer dehumidifiers that maintain 45–50 % indoor humidity, reducing the risk of mold growth and musty odors.
How long should a new heating and cooling system last?
With proper installation and biannual maintenance, today’s high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners typically last 12–15 years, while gas furnaces can exceed 20 years. Cutting-Edge Solutions selects equipment from leading manufacturers that offer 10-year parts warranties and optional labor coverage. We document every service call digitally, so you’ll have a complete history that protects warranty claims and resale value.
Are there financing options or rebates available for energy-efficient upgrades?
Absolutely. We partner with local lenders to provide 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months. Duke Energy and TVA often offer rebates of $150–$600 on qualifying high-SEER heat pumps and smart thermostats, and federal tax credits cover 30 % of the cost (up to $2,000) for heat pumps that meet ENERGY STAR® criteria. Our team handles all paperwork to maximize your savings.
