FAQs
How can I tell it’s time to replace my HVAC system rather than repair it?
Most systems in Sharps Chapel last 12–15 years; if yours is within that range, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or causes unusually high utility bills, replacement is usually more economical. A professional load calculation and inspection will confirm whether major components—compressor, heat exchanger, blower motor—are failing, which is a strong indicator that a new unit will save money and improve comfort.
What size HVAC unit does my Sharps Chapel home need?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, ceiling height, and local weather data for Union County. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact BTU capacity required. An oversized unit will short-cycle and waste energy; an undersized system will run constantly and still leave you uncomfortable. The load calculation ensures balanced temperature and humidity control year-round.
How long does an HVAC replacement take from start to finish?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day: 3–5 hours to remove the old equipment and set the new condenser, air handler, or furnace, plus 1–2 hours for refrigerant charging, thermostat setup, and system testing. If duct modifications, electrical upgrades, or a new line set are needed, the job can extend to two days. We schedule permits and inspections with Union County in advance to keep the project on track.
Are there local rebates or tax incentives for installing a new high-efficiency HVAC system?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program often offers $150–$400 per qualifying heat pump or air conditioner meeting SEER2 and HSPF2 efficiency tiers, and some ENERGY STAR models may qualify for a federal 25C tax credit of up to 30% of project cost (capped at $2,000 for heat pumps). Our staff will provide the paperwork and AHRI certificates you need to claim these incentives for your Sharps Chapel address.
Will I need new ductwork when I replace my heating and air system?
Not always, but we inspect existing ducts for leaks, poor insulation, and incorrect sizing. In homes where airflow is uneven or static pressure is high, sealing or resizing duct runs can boost the new unit’s efficiency by 10–20%. Flexible duct older than 20 years typically has deteriorated inner liners and should be replaced. We provide a detailed duct assessment report before installation so you can make an informed decision.
How much does an HVAC replacement cost in Sharps Chapel and do you offer financing?
A standard 2- to 3-ton high-efficiency heat pump or AC/furnace combo generally ranges from $7,500 to $12,000 installed, depending on SEER rating, ductwork needs, and optional IAQ accessories like UV lights or whole-home humidifiers. We partner with Synchrony and TVA EnergyRight financing to offer 0% APR for 18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months, subject to credit approval, so you can spread the investment over manageable payments.
