FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit rather than repair it?
Most systems last 12–15 years. If your unit is nearing this age, needs frequent or costly repairs, struggles to keep your home comfortable, produces rising utility bills, or still uses R-22 (Freon), replacement is usually the smarter investment. Our technicians provide a free on-site evaluation in Tracy City to help you weigh repair vs. replacement costs, energy savings, and long-term reliability.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home in Tracy City?
Proper sizing depends on square footage, insulation level, window placement, occupancy, and even local climate data for Grundy County. We perform a Manual J load calculation to determine the exact BTU capacity your home needs. Oversized equipment short-cycles and wastes energy, while undersized systems run constantly and wear out faster. A professional load calculation ensures optimal comfort, efficiency, and humidity control.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take, and what should I expect during the installation?
Most residential change-outs are completed in one day. We start by protecting floors and furniture, safely removing the old equipment, updating duct connections, line sets, electrical, and drain lines as needed, then installing and commissioning the new system. After a thorough test cycle, we review thermostat settings, maintenance tips, and warranty paperwork with you. You’ll have full heating or cooling capability before we leave your driveway.
Are there energy-efficient options that qualify for rebates or tax credits in Tracy City?
Yes. High-efficiency heat pumps (15.2 SEER2/8.1 HSPF2 or higher) and gas furnaces (≥97% AFUE) can qualify for federal tax credits of up to 30% of the project cost (maximum $2,000). TVA and local utility programs may also offer $150–$400 per ton rebates when you upgrade to ENERGY STAR certified equipment. We handle the paperwork and provide all model numbers and AHRI certificates to ensure you receive every incentive available.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new HVAC installation?
Most manufacturers provide a 10-year parts warranty when the system is registered within 60 days. We add a 2-year labor warranty at no additional cost, plus an optional Comfort Club plan that includes twice-a-year tune-ups, priority service, and 15% off future repairs. Proper maintenance keeps your warranty valid and maximizes system life span.
How much does an HVAC replacement cost in Tracy City, and do you offer financing?
Installed prices vary based on system type and efficiency: $5,500–$7,500 for a standard 14.3 SEER2 heat pump, $7,500–$10,000 for a high-efficiency variable-speed model, and $8,000–$12,000 for dual-fuel or zoning setups. We offer 0% APR financing for 12–18 months or low-interest plans up to 10 years through Synchrony and TVA EnergyRight. Your written quote is itemized and includes equipment, labor, permits, tax, and haul-away of the old unit.
