FAQs
What types of air-conditioning systems do you install in Petros?
We design and install a full range of high-efficiency systems, including traditional split systems, ductless mini-splits, variable-refrigerant-flow (VRF) units, heat-pump air conditioners, and packaged rooftop units for light commercial spaces. Our technicians assess your home or business, perform load calculations, and recommend the best technology for Petros’s humid subtropical climate and your energy-saving goals.
How does inverter (variable-speed) technology improve comfort and efficiency?
Inverter-driven compressors modulate their speed rather than cycling on and off. This allows the system to match cooling output precisely to demand, maintaining a steady indoor temperature within ±1 °F, eliminating hot/cold swings, reducing humidity, and using up to 40 % less electricity compared with single-stage units. It also lengthens equipment life because soft-start operation reduces mechanical stress.
What SEER2 rating should I look for in the Petros area?
Starting in 2023, the U.S. Department of Energy requires a minimum SEER2 of 14.3 for new residential systems in our region. We typically recommend units in the 16–20 SEER2 range to maximize utility savings and qualify for utility rebates without dramatically increasing upfront cost. Higher ratings can cut annual cooling bills by 25–50 % versus older 10-SEER systems commonly found in Petros homes.
How often should my AC system be serviced and what’s included?
Professional maintenance is recommended twice a year—spring for cooling, fall for heating/heat-pump mode. A standard tune-up includes: cleaning or replacing filters, washing condenser coils, checking refrigerant charge and pressures, inspecting electrical components, lubricating moving parts, testing safety controls, flushing the condensate drain, verifying airflow, and calibrating the thermostat. Routine service prevents 80 % of breakdowns, maintains peak efficiency, and protects manufacturer warranties.
Can you integrate smart thermostats, zoning, and IAQ products with my new system?
Absolutely. We specialize in whole-home comfort solutions: Wi-Fi or learning thermostats for remote control and energy reports, motorized dampers for multi-zone temperature control, and indoor air-quality add-ons such as UV lights, MERV 13-16 filtration, and humidity management. These technologies work seamlessly with modern variable-speed and ductless systems to customize comfort room by room.
What financing options, rebates, and tax incentives are available?
Petros customers can choose 0 % interest financing for up to 18 months (with approved credit) or low-APR plans up to 120 months. Many ENERGY STAR certified systems qualify for TVA EnergyRight rebates ($150–$500) and up to a $2,000 federal tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act for heat-pump AC installations. We handle all paperwork and will calculate your estimated savings during the in-home consultation.
