FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Sewanee last 12–15 years. If your current unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, runs loudly, or causes uneven temperatures and high energy bills, replacement is usually more cost-effective. During a free in-home assessment, Ultimate Comfort’s technicians compare repair costs, age, and efficiency to help you decide confidently.
What is the typical cost of an HVAC replacement in Sewanee?
Prices vary with size, efficiency rating, and installation complexity, but most full system replacements in Sewanee range from $6,500–$12,500, including equipment and labor. We give written, itemized estimates up front so you see exactly where every dollar goes. Financing plans with low monthly payments are available for qualified homeowners.
How long does the replacement process take from start to finish?
Once equipment is in stock, most standard change-outs take one working day. Our crew arrives at 8 a.m., removes the old equipment, installs the new indoor and outdoor units, updates refrigerant lines, and performs a full commissioning checklist. Larger homes, duct upgrades, or crawl-space work may add an extra day. We schedule city or county inspectors immediately so you’re never left waiting.
Which efficiency rating (SEER2) should I choose for Sewanee’s climate?
Sewanee’s four-season mountain climate makes both cooling and heating efficiency important. We generally recommend a minimum of 15.2 SEER2 / 8.1 HSPF2 for budget-minded homeowners and 17–18 SEER2 variable-speed heat pumps for maximum comfort and savings. Our consultants perform a Manual J load calculation to ensure the unit is properly sized for your home’s square footage, insulation, and elevation.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) rebates up to $400 are available for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. The 25C federal tax credit covers 30 % of the installed cost, up to $2,000, for ENERGY STAR certified systems. Ultimate Comfort partners with Synchrony and Wells Fargo to offer 0 % APR financing for 18 months or low fixed payments up to 120 months, subject to credit approval.
