FAQs
What are the main signs I should replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it in Pelham?
If your system is 10–15 years old, requires frequent or costly repairs, struggles to keep your home comfortable, causes unusually high utility bills, or still uses R-22 refrigerant, it is usually more economical to replace it. A modern, high-efficiency unit can cut energy use by 20–40 % and eliminate the risk of a major breakdown during Pelham’s hot, humid summers or chilly winters.
How much does a high-efficiency HVAC replacement typically cost in Pelham?
For a typical 2,000-sq-ft home, a complete heating and air conditioning replacement generally runs $6,500–$12,000, depending on equipment size, SEER2/HSPF ratings, ductwork condition, and any indoor-air-quality upgrades. After local utility rebates, federal tax credits (up to 30 % under the Inflation Reduction Act), and manufacturer promotions, many Pelham homeowners see their out-of-pocket investment drop by $1,000–$3,200.
How long does it take to remove my old system and install a new one?
Most change-outs are completed in one working day. Our licensed crew arrives around 8 a.m., protects flooring with drop cloths, removes refrigerant safely, swaps the outdoor condenser, indoor coil or air handler, furnace or heat pump, updates the thermostat, and performs a full commissioning test. Complex jobs that need new ductwork, zoning, or electrical upgrades may take 2–3 days, but you will have heating or cooling each night.
Will a new high-efficiency system really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner from 2006 with a 16-SEER2 model can reduce cooling costs by roughly 35 %. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors run longer at lower speeds, which not only saves electricity but also improves humidity control—especially important in Pelham’s climate. Many customers report annual utility savings of $400–$800, meaning the new system can pay for itself in 5–7 years.
Do I need permits or inspections for HVAC replacement in Pelham?
Absolutely. Shelby County and the City of Pelham require mechanical permits for any HVAC equipment change-out. As a licensed Alabama HVAC contractor, we pull all necessary permits, schedule the county inspection, and provide documentation for your records. Proper permitting protects your warranty, ensures the installation meets code, and may be required by your homeowner’s insurance company.
What financing and warranty options do you offer for new HVAC systems?
We partner with several lenders to provide 0 % APR plans for 12–18 months or low-interest terms up to 120 months, allowing you to spread payments over time. All qualifying high-efficiency systems come with a 10-year parts warranty and up to a 10-year labor warranty when you enroll in our Peak Performance maintenance plan. This coverage safeguards your investment and keeps your comfort predictable for the next decade.
