FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
If your system is more than 12–15 years old, experiences frequent breakdowns, needs increasingly expensive repairs, or struggles to maintain consistent temperatures, replacement is usually more cost-effective. In Signal Mountain’s humid subtropical climate, HVAC systems also work harder, so rising energy bills and excessive noise are further signs that a new unit will save you money and improve comfort.
What size HVAC unit do I need for my Signal Mountain home?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, ceiling height, local climate data, and even shade from surrounding trees. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact cooling (BTUs) and heating (BTUH) requirements, ensuring the new system isn’t oversized or undersized—both of which can cause higher energy use and shorter equipment life.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take?
Most residential replacements can be completed in a single day, including removing the old equipment, making ductwork adjustments, installing the new indoor and outdoor units, and testing performance. Complex jobs—such as those requiring extensive duct repairs or electrical upgrades—may take 2–3 days, but we always provide a clear timeline before work begins.
Will a new HVAC system lower my utility bills?
Yes. Modern high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners carry SEER2 and HSPF2 ratings that can cut energy consumption by 20–40% compared with systems installed just 10 years ago. Variable-speed compressors, smart thermostats, and better insulation in new air handlers all contribute to lower monthly costs—particularly important during Signal Mountain’s hot, humid summers and chilly winters.
Are there rebates or financing options available for HVAC replacements in Signal Mountain?
Absolutely. TVA EnergyRight rebates, manufacturer promotions, and federal tax credits for qualifying ENERGY STAR equipment can reduce upfront costs by hundreds of dollars. We also offer 0% APR financing for 12–60 months (subject to credit approval), allowing you to spread payments over time while enjoying immediate comfort and efficiency benefits.
How do I maintain my new HVAC system to maximize its lifespan?
Schedule professional maintenance twice a year—once in spring for cooling and once in fall for heating. Change or clean filters every 1–3 months, keep outdoor condenser coils free of debris, ensure indoor vents are unobstructed, and use a programmable thermostat to avoid extreme temperature swings. Regular care can extend system life to 15–20 years and keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
