FAQs
How do I know whether to repair or replace my current HVAC unit?
Most systems in South Pittsburg last 10–15 years. If your unit is past 10 years old, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills keep rising despite regular maintenance, replacement is usually more cost-effective. A new system with today’s SEER2 efficiency standards can cut operating costs by 20–40 %, recover its price in a few seasons, and provide better humidity control that older equipment simply can’t match.
Which type of replacement system works best for South Pittsburg’s climate?
Because our winters are moderate and summers are hot and humid, high-efficiency heat pumps or dual-fuel (heat pump + gas furnace) systems are the top choices. A heat pump delivers economical heating down to about 30 °F; when temperatures fall lower, the backup gas furnace takes over. If natural gas isn’t available, a variable-speed electric heat pump paired with an air handler remains highly efficient and keeps indoor humidity in check.
How long will the replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
For most single-family homes we complete removal of the old unit, ductwork modifications, installation, start-up, and testing in one full day. Complex jobs with zoning controls or attic installations may take two days. Your home is usually without conditioned air for 4–8 hours; we schedule during mild weather whenever possible and bring temporary heaters or spot coolers if extreme temperatures are forecast.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing programs available in South Pittsburg?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program offers rebates up to $250 per qualifying heat pump. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act cover 30 % of installed cost (maximum $2,000) for heat pumps rated ≥15.2 SEER2 / 11.7 HSPF2. We also partner with local lenders for 0 % APR financing for 12–18 months, or low fixed-rate plans up to 120 months, letting you spread payments out while enjoying lower utility bills immediately.
What ongoing maintenance does a new HVAC system require?
Even the most advanced equipment needs routine care. Replace or wash filters every 1–3 months, keep outdoor coils free of leaves and debris, and schedule professional tune-ups each spring and fall. Our Precision Comfort Plan includes biannual visits, coil cleaning, thermostat calibration, refrigerant checks, and written efficiency reports that help maintain your manufacturer warranty and can extend equipment life well past 15 years.
What level of support can I expect after the installation?
Every replacement includes a 10-year parts warranty and 1-year labor warranty. Our clients also receive 24/7 emergency service, priority scheduling within 24 hours, discounted after-hours rates, and an annual system performance audit. If any workmanship issue arises in the first year, we fix it at no cost, and our office team registers all warranties with the manufacturer so you never have to worry about paperwork.
