FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my existing HVAC unit in Rutledge instead of repairing it?
A replacement is usually recommended when your system is 10–15 years old, requires frequent or costly repairs, or struggles to keep your home comfortable even after maintenance. Rising utility bills, uneven temperatures, and loud operation are also signs. Our technicians provide a detailed cost-benefit analysis so you can compare long-term savings from a high-efficiency replacement versus continuing repairs.
What size and type of HVAC system is best for my home?
Proper sizing is critical for efficiency and comfort. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, and Rutledge’s climate data. Based on those results we recommend the right capacity and help you choose between options such as traditional split systems, heat pumps, or dual-fuel units. We carry trusted brands and match you with models that meet your budget, efficiency goals, and indoor air quality needs.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take from start to finish?
Most standard change-outs can be completed in one day. The timeline includes: 1) pre-installation home assessment and load calculation, 2) permit application with the city or county (usually one to three business days for approval), 3) delivery of equipment, and 4) 6–10 hours of on-site removal, installation, refrigerant charging, and system testing. Complex projects such as duct modifications or zoning upgrades may add an extra day.
What incentives or rebates are available for high-efficiency HVAC units in Rutledge?
Homeowners may qualify for federal tax credits of up to 30% (capped at $2,000) on Energy Star–certified heat pumps, along with manufacturer rebates that can range from $200 to $1,000 depending on the season. Local utilities sometimes offer bill credits or cash incentives for meeting SEER2 efficiency thresholds. We keep track of current programs and handle the paperwork so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
Do you offer financing for HVAC replacement, and what are the terms?
Yes. We partner with several lending institutions to provide flexible financing. Options include 0% interest for 12–18 months, low-APR plans up to 120 months, and deferred-payment promotions. Approval decisions are typically instant with no home equity required. Our team walks you through monthly payment estimates so you can choose the plan that fits your budget.
What warranties and maintenance support come with a new system?
All of our installations include the manufacturer’s 10-year parts warranty and up to 10-year compressor coverage (registration required). We add a two-year labor warranty and a complimentary first-year maintenance visit. To protect your investment long-term, we offer an optional Comfort Club plan that provides biannual tune-ups, priority service, and discounted repairs after the labor warranty expires.
