FAQs
When should I consider a complete HVAC system replacement instead of repair?
You should think about full replacement when your heating or cooling equipment is more than 10–15 years old, requires frequent or costly repairs, struggles to keep your Rutledge home comfortable, or uses outdated refrigerant such as R-22. A new system eliminates looming repair bills, improves energy efficiency, and provides modern features like variable-speed operation and smart-home compatibility.
What are the advantages of replacing both the furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
Installing a matched heating and cooling system ensures the components are engineered to work together, which maximizes efficiency, extends equipment life, and maintains consistent comfort. You avoid paying duplicate labor charges for two separate installations, receive a single manufacturer warranty that covers the entire system, and often qualify for higher rebates when both units meet ENERGY STAR or local utility efficiency standards.
How long does a complete system replacement take in a typical Rutledge residence?
Most full replacements are completed in one working day. Our crew arrives around 8 a.m., removes the old indoor and outdoor units, installs new equipment, runs and pressure-tests new refrigerant lines if needed, sets up the thermostat, and starts the system for a final performance check. Larger homes, ductwork modifications, or add-ons such as whole-home air cleaners can extend the job to two days, but we will let you know the timeline in advance.
What size and efficiency rating HVAC system do I need for Rutledge’s climate?
Proper sizing is determined by a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window locations, and local weather data for Rutledge. Undersized units run constantly and wear out early, while oversized units short-cycle and create temperature swings. For efficiency, heat pumps and air conditioners with a SEER2 of 15–18 and furnaces with an AFUE of 90 % or higher strike a good balance between upfront cost and monthly savings for our region’s humid summers and mild winters.
Are there rebates or financing options available for system replacements in Rutledge?
Yes. Georgia Power and other local utilities periodically offer rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can reduce your tax liability by up to 30 % of project cost, capped at $2,000 for heat pumps. We also partner with lenders that provide no-interest or low-interest financing for qualified homeowners, allowing you to spread payments over 6–60 months.
How much will a complete heating and air conditioning replacement cost?
Prices vary by equipment capacity, efficiency rating, and any duct or electrical upgrades required. In Rutledge, most homeowners invest between $8,500 and $15,000 for a new matched system, including installation and basic permits. High-end variable-speed systems or extensive ductwork changes can run $18,000 or more. We provide a detailed, no-obligation quote that lists equipment brand, model numbers, labor, optional accessories, and any available discounts so you can make an informed decision.
