FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most Thorn Hill homeowners start considering replacement when their system is 12–15 years old, needs frequent or costly repairs, or no longer keeps every room comfortable. Other warning signs include rising utility bills, loud operation, constant on-off cycling, or an older unit that still uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant. A comfort specialist can compare the long-term cost of more repairs with the energy savings and warranty coverage you’d get from a new system.
What size heating and cooling system will my Thorn Hill home need?
Sizing is based on a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, number of windows, air-leakage rates, and the local Thorn Hill climate. Rules of thumb (like tons per square foot) often oversize equipment, leading to short cycling, humidity issues, and higher bills. Our technicians measure your home, review its construction, and recommend the properly sized furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump so you enjoy steady temperatures year-round.
How long does an HVAC replacement usually take?
For most straightforward change-outs—removing the old condenser, air handler, and connecting a new matching system—installation can be finished in one day (about 4–8 hours). If your project involves ductwork repairs, thermostat upgrades, or electrical panel changes, the job can stretch to two days. We pull any required local permits, coordinate inspections, and leave the site clean before we leave.
Are there high-efficiency options or rebates available when I upgrade?
Yes. ENERGY STAR® qualified air conditioners with SEER2 ratings of 16 or higher and high-efficiency heat pumps or gas furnaces often qualify for manufacturer rebates, federal tax credits, and occasional utility incentives in the Thorn Hill area. We’ll walk you through current offers, estimate your annual energy savings, and handle the paperwork so you get every dollar back that you’re entitled to.
What will a complete HVAC replacement cost, and do you offer financing?
Pricing varies by capacity, efficiency, and any needed duct or electrical work, but most Thorn Hill replacements fall between $5,500 and $12,000, including installation and basic permits. We partner with several lenders to provide low-interest and no-interest financing plans, as well as flexible monthly payments that can fit most budgets. Up-front estimates are free and always include parts, labor, and warranties—no hidden fees.
How can I keep my new system running efficiently year-round after installation?
Change or clean your air filter every 30–90 days, keep supply and return vents unblocked, and rinse debris away from the outdoor condenser coil. Schedule professional maintenance twice a year—one precision tune-up in spring for cooling and another in fall for heating. Our Comfort Club program provides these visits at a discounted rate, extends equipment life, maintains manufacturer warranty compliance, and helps avoid unexpected breakdowns during Thorn Hill’s hottest and coldest days.
