FAQs
Why should I schedule a personalized HVAC replacement consultation in Ooltewah?
Every home in Ooltewah is different. Age, square footage, insulation levels, and even tree coverage affect how hard your air-conditioning and heating system has to work. A personalized consultation allows our Comfort Specialist to inspect your existing equipment and ductwork, perform a Manual-J load calculation, and learn about your comfort concerns and budget. The result is a customized replacement recommendation that will deliver dependable comfort, lower energy bills, and years of trouble-free operation.
What factors do you consider when recommending a new HVAC unit for my home?
We look at several key variables: • Size & Layout – Room dimensions, ceiling height, and window placement determine system capacity. • Insulation & Air-Seal Levels – Better insulation may allow you to downsize the equipment and save energy. • Local Climate – Ooltewah’s humid summers and occasional winter freezes drive the need for precise humidity control and reliable heat. • Existing Ductwork – We inspect for leaks or design flaws that could reduce efficiency. • Energy Efficiency Goals – Options range from 14.3 SEER2 single-stage units to 20+ SEER2 variable-speed systems. • Budget & Financing – We balance initial cost with lifetime operating savings and available rebates or tax credits.
How long does an HVAC replacement consultation take, and what happens during the visit?
Most consultations last 60–90 minutes. The technician will: 1) evaluate your current furnace, air handler, and outdoor unit; 2) inspect ductwork in the attic or crawl space; 3) measure rooms to calculate heating and cooling loads; 4) check electrical service and condensate drainage; 5) discuss comfort issues like hot/cold spots, humidity, or air quality; and 6) present system options, efficiency ratings, warranties, and estimated costs. You’ll receive a written proposal before we leave.
Are there energy-efficient HVAC options that qualify for rebates or tax credits in Tennessee?
Yes. High-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners that meet ENERGY STAR and SEER2 requirements may qualify for federal tax credits of up to 30% (capped at $2,000). Through TVA’s EnergyRight program, Ooltewah homeowners can also earn rebates for qualifying heat pump installations performed by a Quality Contractor Network member—like us—after a post-installation inspection. We’ll walk you through the paperwork and ensure the chosen unit meets all criteria.
How soon can you install a new unit after the consultation, and how long will installation take?
We stock the most popular system sizes locally, so in many cases we can schedule your installation within 24–48 hours of your approval—sooner if it’s an emergency replacement. A standard change-out (replacing the indoor and outdoor units on existing ductwork) usually takes one full workday. If duct modifications, zoning, or indoor air-quality accessories are added, the job may extend to two days. Our crew will protect your floors, remove the old equipment for recycling, and leave the area cleaner than we found it.
Do you offer financing or maintenance plans with a new HVAC system?
Absolutely. We partner with trusted lenders to offer low-interest and 0% promotional financing with terms from 12 to 72 months, subject to credit approval. Every new system also includes a one-year labor warranty and two free tune-ups. After that, you can choose a preventive maintenance plan that covers semi-annual inspections, priority scheduling, and discounts on repairs—helping your new HVAC unit maintain peak efficiency and remain under manufacturer warranty requirements.
