FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
In Thorn Hill’s mixed-temperature climate, most HVAC systems last 12–15 years if they’ve been maintained. You should consider replacement when your unit is approaching that age and you notice one or more of these signs: frequent breakdowns, rising energy bills, uneven temperatures, unusual noises or odors, or the need for major repairs that exceed 30–40 % of the cost of a new system. Our technicians can perform a cost-benefit analysis to help you decide.
What size HVAC unit does my Thorn Hill home need?
Correct sizing is critical for comfort, efficiency, and equipment life. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window efficiency, occupancy, orientation, and Thorn Hill’s heating/cooling design temperatures. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized systems run constantly and fail to keep you comfortable. After the load calculation, we recommend the right tonnage and can show you several models that meet your budget and efficiency goals.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take?
A straightforward like-for-like replacement usually takes one full working day—about 6–10 hours—including removal of the old system, setting the new condenser or heat pump, installing the indoor air handler or furnace, connecting refrigerant lines, updating the thermostat, charging the system, and performing a test run. If ductwork modifications, electrical upgrades, or indoor air quality accessories are needed, the project can extend to two days. We schedule replacements at your convenience and keep you informed at every stage.
Will a new HVAC system lower my energy bills?
Yes. Today’s HVAC units carry SEER2 (cooling) and HSPF2 (heat pump heating) ratings that are 20–40 % more efficient than systems installed just 10 years ago. Variable-speed compressors, ECM blower motors, and smart thermostats provide precise temperature control and reduce energy waste. Customers in Thorn Hill typically see 15–35 % reductions in monthly utility costs after installing a properly sized, high-efficiency system. We can estimate your potential savings with an energy analysis during our on-site consultation.
Do you offer financing or rebates for HVAC replacements?
Absolutely. We partner with local and national lenders to provide low-interest and 0 % APR promotional financing options for qualified homeowners. In addition, Thorn Hill residents may qualify for utility company incentives and federal tax credits of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps or furnaces. Our office team will walk you through the paperwork, submit rebate applications, and ensure you capture every dollar of available savings.
What kind of warranty and maintenance plan comes with my new system?
All new HVAC units we install include a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty. You can extend labor coverage to 10 years for a modest fee. To keep the warranty valid and protect your investment, we offer an affordable maintenance agreement that provides two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on any future repairs. Regular maintenance maximizes efficiency, prevents surprise breakdowns, and documents service records required by the manufacturer.
