FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit in Tellico Plains?
Most systems last 12–15 years, but our mountain climate—high summer humidity and chilly winters—can shorten that life. Consider replacement if your unit is over 10 years old, needs frequent repairs, struggles to keep set temperatures, causes utility bills to spike, or still uses R-22 refrigerant. A new, properly sized system installed by our seasoned technicians can lower energy use by 20–40 % and improve year-round comfort.
What size HVAC system do I need for my Tellico Plains home?
Sizing depends on square footage, insulation, window area, ceiling height, and sun exposure—factors that vary widely in Monroe County homes. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact British Thermal Units (BTUs) required. Oversized equipment cycles on and off, wasting energy and wearing parts prematurely, while undersized units run constantly and never reach set points. Our techs measure your home, evaluate ductwork, and recommend the right tonnage for balanced comfort and efficiency.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most standard change-outs in Tellico Plains take one full workday. We arrive with all necessary equipment, remove the old indoor and outdoor units, upgrade line sets and electrical as needed, pressure-test and evacuate the refrigerant circuit, set the new system, and perform startup. You will be without heating or cooling only during this swap-out window. For complex installations—new ductwork, zoning, or IAQ accessories—add an extra day. We schedule during mild weather whenever possible to minimize discomfort.
Are there energy-efficient options that qualify for rebates or tax credits in Tennessee?
Yes. Heat pumps with ≥15.2 SEER2 (≈16 SEER) and ≥7.8 HSPF2 may qualify for federal tax credits of up to 30 % of project cost (capped at $2,000) under the Inflation Reduction Act. TVA and local utilities sometimes offer $150–$400 rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps or dual-fuel systems. Smart thermostats and certain indoor air quality add-ons can earn additional incentives. We handle the paperwork and provide AHRI certificates so you receive every available dollar.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you offer with a new HVAC installation?
All major brands we install include a 10-year parts warranty when registered within 60 days. Our labor warranty covers workmanship for one year, with extended labor protection (up to 10 years) available. We also include a complimentary first-year maintenance visit. After that, our Comfort Club plan provides bi-annual tune-ups, priority scheduling, 15 % repair discounts, and no overtime charges—protecting your investment and keeping the manufacturer warranty valid.
How much will an HVAC replacement cost and what financing options are available?
In Tellico Plains, a straightforward heat-pump or gas-split replacement typically ranges from $6,500 to $11,000, depending on efficiency, capacity, and accessories. High-end variable-speed or dual-fuel systems can run $12,000–$16,000. We offer 0 % APR same-as-cash plans for 12–18 months, low-interest loans up to 120 months, and TVA EnergyRight financing added to your utility bill. During the in-home consultation we provide a firm, written quote and review every payment option so you can choose what fits your budget.
