FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Common warning signs include equipment that is 12–15 years old, frequent or costly repairs, uneven temperatures in different rooms, excessive noise, and a steady rise in energy bills. In Townsend’s four-season climate, systems work hard year-round; once repair costs approach 40–50 % of the price of a new, high-efficiency unit, replacement is usually the more economical choice.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home in Townsend?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation quality, number of windows, ceiling height, and even local temperature averages. Our technicians perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact capacity (BTUs and tonnage) required. Correct sizing prevents short-cycling, lowers energy use, and maximizes comfort and equipment life.
How long will the HVAC replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
Most standard change-outs in Townsend can be completed in one working day—about 6–8 hours—including removal of the old unit, installation of the new equipment, refrigerant charge, duct connections, and system testing. For projects involving duct redesign or electrical upgrades, expect up to two days. We schedule installations to minimize downtime, and portable heaters or spot coolers can be provided if extreme weather is expected.
Do I need any permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Townsend?
Yes. The Town of Townsend requires a mechanical permit for any HVAC replacement, and the work must pass a final inspection by the local code official. Our team obtains all necessary permits, coordinates inspection appointments, and provides documentation of equipment efficiency ratings so you stay fully compliant without lifting a finger.
Will a new HVAC unit lower my energy bills, and are there rebates available?
Absolutely. Replacing a 10 SEER system with today’s 15–20 SEER2 equipment can cut cooling costs up to 30 % and heating costs 15–25 %. Delmarva Power and other regional utilities often offer cash rebates, and federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps or high-efficiency furnaces. We’ll identify eligible incentives and submit the paperwork for you.
What maintenance is required after installation to keep my new system running efficiently?
Change or clean air filters every 30–90 days depending on usage, keep outdoor condenser coils free of debris, and schedule a professional tune-up each spring and fall. Regular maintenance preserves the manufacturer’s warranty, prevents unexpected breakdowns, and can extend the system’s service life well beyond 15 years.
