FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Rutledge last 12–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, experiences uneven temperatures, makes unusual noises, or has a SEER rating under 13, replacement is usually more cost-effective. Our technicians can run a cost-benefit analysis that compares the price of repairs and energy bills over the next five years with the savings and warranty protection a new system provides.
What size HVAC unit does my Rutledge home need?
Correct sizing is critical for efficiency and comfort. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window size and orientation, number of occupants, ductwork condition, and even local Rutledge climate data. This calculation ensures you neither overspend on an oversized system nor suffer poor humidity control from an undersized one.
How long will the HVAC replacement process take?
A straightforward replacement in an average single-family home generally takes one full day: 2–3 hours to remove the old equipment, 3–4 hours for setting the new air handler/furnace and condenser, and 1–2 hours for commissioning, refrigerant charging, and a final performance check. More complex jobs—such as duct modifications or thermostat rewiring—may add an extra day.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available in Rutledge and the state of Georgia?
Yes. Georgia Power and many local co-ops offer $200–$700 rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners rated 16 SEER2 or higher. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act cover 30 % of equipment and labor costs (up to $2,000) for qualifying heat pumps. We handle all paperwork and will apply eligible rebates to your invoice so you see the savings up front.
What is included in your precision installation and what warranties do you provide?
Our precision installation includes removal and eco-friendly disposal of the old unit, refrigerant line flush or replacement, new pad and vibration isolators, sealed and pressure-tested duct connections, code-compliant electrical upgrades, smart thermostat setup, and a full airflow/refrigerant charge verification report. You receive a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty, a one-year labor warranty (extendable to 10 years with our maintenance plan), and our 100 % satisfaction guarantee.
How much does a new HVAC system cost and do you offer financing?
In Rutledge, a standard 3-ton air-conditioner and gas furnace package starts around $7,500 installed, while a high-efficiency variable-speed heat pump system may run $11,000–$14,000. Exact pricing depends on size, SEER2 rating, and any ductwork changes. We partner with multiple lenders to provide zero-down, low-interest financing for up to 120 months, and we can bundle maintenance plans into the monthly payment for predictable budgeting.
