FAQs
How can I tell when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
In most Strawberry Plains homes, replacement becomes the better option when the system is 10–15 years old, requires frequent or costly repairs, or struggles to maintain consistent comfort. A good rule of thumb is the 5,000 rule: multiply the estimated repair cost by the system’s age—if the result exceeds $5,000, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Newer units also deliver higher SEER2 ratings, lowering your monthly energy bills by 20–40 % compared with older equipment.
What does a professional HVAC replacement typically cost in Strawberry Plains?
Prices vary with home size, efficiency level, and whether ductwork needs upgrading, but most full-system replacements (new outdoor condenser, indoor coil or furnace, thermostat, and basic accessories) run between $6,000 and $12,000 installed. High-efficiency heat-pump systems or dual-fuel setups can cost $12,000–$18,000. We provide a written, line-item estimate after performing a Manual J load calculation so there are no surprises.
How long will the HVAC replacement process take?
Once equipment is in stock and permits are secured, installation itself is usually completed in one day for straightforward change-outs and up to two days if duct modifications, electrical upgrades, or refrigerant line replacements are required. The entire process—from your initial consultation to final inspection—typically spans 3–7 business days, depending on permit turnaround and equipment availability.
Do I need local permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Strawberry Plains?
Yes. Both Knox and Jefferson counties (and the City of Strawberry Plains when applicable) require mechanical permits and a final inspection to verify code compliance. As part of our turnkey service, we pull all necessary permits, schedule inspections, and meet the inspector on-site. Permit fees are included in your quote, so you don’t have to handle any paperwork.
How do you make sure the new system is the right size and type for my home?
Our comfort advisor performs a Manual J heat-gain/heat-loss calculation, which factors in square footage, insulation levels, window types, orientation, and local climate data for Strawberry Plains. We then recommend equipment that meets or exceeds ACCA sizing standards—never oversized or undersized. We also discuss fuel options (electric, gas, dual-fuel, or heat pump) to find the best balance of efficiency, comfort, and utility-rate savings for your household.
What warranties and post-installation support come with a new HVAC system?
Most leading manufacturers offer a 10-year parts warranty and a limited lifetime heat-exchanger warranty on furnaces when the unit is registered within 60 days of installation. We include a 1-year labor warranty, and extended labor coverage up to 10 years is available. Your installation also comes with one complimentary maintenance visit and discounted membership options for ongoing seasonal tune-ups, priority service, and filter reminders.
