FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit in Rutledge rather than repair it?
Most systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to maintain comfortable temperatures during Rutledge’s hot, humid summers or cold snaps, or your energy bills are steadily rising, replacement is typically more economical. A new high-efficiency system can cut cooling costs by up to 30% and heating costs by 20% while improving comfort and indoor air quality.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home?
Proper sizing depends on the square footage, insulation levels, window count, orientation, and even the number of occupants in your Rutledge home. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact heating and cooling load for each room. This prevents oversized units that short-cycle and waste energy or undersized systems that run continuously and still can’t keep you comfortable.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day. We remove the old equipment, set the new indoor and outdoor units, run new refrigerant lines if needed, connect electrical and drain lines, charge the system, and perform a full diagnostic test. Your system is usually down for only 4–8 hours, and we schedule work to minimize discomfort—often early morning in summer and midday in winter.
Are there energy rebates or tax incentives available in Rutledge for upgrading to high-efficiency equipment?
Yes. Georgia Power often offers rebates for ENERGY STAR certified heat pumps and air conditioners with high SEER2/HSPF ratings, and federal tax credits of up to 30% (capped at $3,200 annually) are available under the Inflation Reduction Act for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and advanced air conditioners. We handle all paperwork, provide the AHRI certificate, and guide you through claiming credits on your tax return.
Do you offer financing options for HVAC replacements?
We partner with multiple lending institutions to provide flexible financing, including zero-interest plans for 12–24 months and low-APR terms up to 120 months. Approval decisions are typically made within minutes, and there is no penalty for early payoff. Financing lets you spread the investment out while enjoying lower utility bills from day one.
What kind of warranty and maintenance support comes with a new system?
All new systems include a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, which we extend to 10 years when you enroll in our Comfort Club maintenance plan. The plan provides two precision tune-ups annually, priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and filter reminders—safeguarding your investment and ensuring your equipment runs at peak efficiency for years to come.
