FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my current HVAC system in Rockwood instead of repairing it?
Typically, replacement is recommended if your unit is over 12–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to maintain set temperatures, or causes unusually high utility bills. A professional load calculation and inspection will confirm whether a new high-efficiency system would be more cost-effective in the long run.
What advanced technologies are available in today’s HVAC replacements?
Modern systems feature variable-speed compressors and blower motors for precise temperature control, smart Wi-Fi thermostats with geofencing and voice compatibility, inverter technology for quiet and efficient operation, and indoor air quality add-ons like UV lights and HEPA filtration. Many models also support refrigerants with lower global-warming potential.
Will a new high-efficiency unit really lower my energy bills in Rockwood’s climate?
Yes. Upgrading from a 10–13 SEER system to a 16–20+ SEER heat pump or air conditioner can cut cooling costs by 30–50%. Similarly, modern gas furnaces with 95–98% AFUE can save 15–25% on heating costs compared to older 80% models. Savings vary with home size, insulation, and usage habits, but most homeowners recoup the investment within 5–8 years.
How long does a full HVAC replacement take, and will my home be without heating or cooling during that time?
A standard like-for-like change-out generally takes one working day. Complex upgrades—such as adding zoning, duct modifications, or indoor air quality equipment—may extend to two days. Your technician will restore temporary heating or cooling at the end of each day if the project spans multiple days, minimizing discomfort.
Are financing or rebates available for HVAC replacements in the Rockwood area?
Yes. We offer 0% APR financing for up to 60 months on approved credit, and Rockwood Utility often provides rebates for ENERGY STAR® heat pumps and smart thermostats. Federal tax credits of up to $2,000 are also available under the Inflation Reduction Act for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps.
What kind of warranty and maintenance plan comes with a new system?
Most premium manufacturers include a 10-year parts and compressor warranty, plus a limited lifetime heat exchanger warranty for gas furnaces. We add a one-year labor warranty and offer optional maintenance plans that include twice-annual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounted repairs—helping maintain peak efficiency and validating your manufacturer warranty requirements.
