FAQs
How can I tell when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
Several signs point to replacement: the system is 10–15 years old, repairs are becoming more frequent or expensive, utility bills keep climbing even after tune-ups, comfort is uneven from room to room, or the unit still uses R-22 refrigerant that is no longer manufactured. When two or more of these symptoms appear, our South Pittsburg technicians usually recommend replacement because the long-term savings in energy and repair costs outweigh the price of a new system.
What size HVAC system does my South Pittsburg home need?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation levels, number of windows, ceiling height, occupancy, and even how much direct sun your house receives. We perform a Manual J load calculation during the estimate to determine the exact British Thermal Units (BTUs) needed for heating and cooling. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run constantly and still can’t keep up. A professional load calculation is the only reliable way to choose the right capacity.
How long does an HVAC unit replacement take and what should I expect on installation day?
Most standard change-outs in South Pittsburg can be completed in one day. Our team arrives at the scheduled time, protects floors and furnishings, safely removes and disposes of the old equipment, installs the new condenser, air handler or furnace, thermostat, and any required duct modifications, then pressure-tests and commissions the system. Before leaving, we show you how to operate the new thermostat and register warranties. You’ll have heating or cooling the same evening in almost every case.
Are there energy-efficient models and local rebates available?
Yes. High-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners with SEER2 ratings of 16–20+ and furnaces with AFUE ratings of 95 % or higher can cut energy use by 30 % or more. The TVA EnergyRight program and certain manufacturers often provide rebates for qualifying installations in Marion County and the South Pittsburg area. Federal tax credits of up to $2,000 may also apply under the Inflation Reduction Act. We handle all paperwork to make sure you receive every incentive you’re eligible for.
What warranties and maintenance options come with a new HVAC installation?
Most of the equipment we install carries a 10-year parts warranty and a limited lifetime heat-exchanger or compressor warranty, depending on the brand. Our labor warranty covers workmanship for one full year, and extended labor warranties up to 10 years are available. We also offer affordable maintenance plans that include two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and discounts on future repairs, helping keep your new system efficient and within warranty requirements.
How much does a full HVAC replacement cost and do you offer financing?
Pricing varies with system size, efficiency, ductwork condition, and any indoor air quality add-ons. In South Pittsburg, complete replacements generally range from $6,500 for a basic 14 SEER2 split system to $12,000+ for high-efficiency variable-speed equipment. We provide upfront, itemized quotes so there are no surprises. To make the investment easier, 0 % APR financing for 12–18 months or low-interest terms up to 120 months are available with approved credit through our lending partners.
