FAQs

How can I tell if my HVAC unit needs to be replaced instead of repaired?

In Pelham’s humid subtropical climate, most HVAC systems last about 10–15 years. Consider replacement when you’re experiencing frequent breakdowns, hot- and cold-spots in your home, energy bills that have risen more than 20 %, or if your unit still uses R-22 refrigerant. A failed compressor or major leak that costs 30–50 % of a new system’s price is usually a sign that investing in modern, high-efficiency equipment will be more economical and reliable in the long run.

What size HVAC system does my Pelham home really need?

Proper sizing is critical; an oversized or undersized unit will waste energy and reduce comfort. Our comfort advisers perform a Manual J load calculation, which factors in square footage, insulation quality, window orientation, occupancy, and Pelham’s design temperatures. The result pinpoints the exact BTU (tonnage) your home requires, ensuring the new system runs long enough to dehumidify, avoids short-cycling, and maintains even temperatures while keeping utility bills low.

How long will an HVAC replacement take?

Most straight change-outs—removing the old unit and installing a new indoor coil, outdoor condenser, and thermostat in the same locations—are completed in 4–8 hours. If ductwork needs re-design, electrical upgrades are required, or accessories such as air purifiers, UV lights, or zoning are added, the job may extend to 1–2 days. Our crew pulls required permits, protects your floors, removes and recycles the old equipment, and completes full start-up testing before we leave.

What does an HVAC replacement typically cost in Pelham, and what affects the price?

Installed pricing for a high-efficiency air conditioner or heat pump generally ranges from $5,500 to $12,000, while variable-speed systems paired with gas furnaces can run up to $14,000. Key cost drivers include system capacity (2–5 tons), efficiency rating (14–20 SEER2), single vs. two-stage or variable-speed compressors, needed duct modifications, indoor air-quality add-ons, and any electrical or concrete-pad work.

Are rebates or financing options available for a new HVAC system?

Yes. Alabama Power and local utilities periodically offer $200–$700 rebates for Energy Star–qualified heat pumps and gas furnaces. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act cover up to 30 % of costs—capped at $2,000—for eligible heat pumps and high-efficiency equipment installed through 2032. Tailored Solutions partners with trusted lenders to provide 0 % APR for 12 months or low monthly payments spread over 60–120 months, subject to credit approval.

How can I extend the life and efficiency of my new HVAC unit?

Replace 1-inch air filters every 30–60 days, schedule professional maintenance each spring and fall, and keep the outdoor condenser clear of debris. Maintain attic insulation, seal and balance ductwork, and set your programmable or smart thermostat for moderate temperature setbacks. Aim for indoor humidity between 40 % and 60 % to reduce system strain. With regular care, a new system should deliver 15–20 years of reliable, efficient service.
