FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC system instead of repairing it?
In Turtletown’s humid summers and brisk winters, your comfort depends on a dependable system. If your unit is 10–15 years old, requires frequent or costly repairs, struggles to keep set temperatures, causes energy bills to spike, or still uses R-22 refrigerant, replacement is usually the most cost-effective choice. Our technicians can run a full load calculation, efficiency analysis, and cost-of-ownership comparison to confirm whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense for you.
What size HVAC unit do I need for my Turtletown home?
Proper sizing is critical—an oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized one runs constantly and never reaches the thermostat setting. We perform Manual-J calculations that factor in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, local climate data for Polk County, and even occupancy patterns. This scientific approach ensures your new system delivers peak comfort, balanced humidity, and optimal efficiency.
How long does HVAC replacement take and what happens on installation day?
Most standard change-outs take one full day. We start by protecting floors and furnishings, then safely recover refrigerant and remove the old equipment. Your new air handler, condenser, and thermostat are then set, refrigerant lines flushed or replaced, and the system is evacuated to 500 microns to guarantee a moisture-free seal. Before leaving, we run a complete start-up checklist, test static pressure, verify airflow, and walk you through operating the new thermostat. You’ll have cool air that same evening.
Are there energy rebates or tax incentives for installing a new high-efficiency HVAC system in Turtletown?
Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight program often offers $150–$600 rebates for ENERGY STAR® heat pumps with SEER2 ≥ 15.2. Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act can cover up to 30 % of the cost (max $2,000) for qualifying heat pumps installed in 2024. We handle all paperwork, supply AHRI certificates, and make sure your new system meets the efficiency thresholds to capture every available incentive.
How much does a new HVAC system cost and what financing options are available?
Pricing varies with capacity, efficiency rating, and ductwork needs, but most Turtletown homeowners invest between $6,500 and $11,000 for a complete heat-pump change-out. We partner with Synchrony and Wells Fargo to offer 0 % APR for 18 months OAC, low-interest terms up to 120 months, or convenient lease-to-own plans. We also accept TVA on-bill financing that lets you spread costs across your electric bill while the energy savings offset much of the payment.
What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new HVAC installation?
Every system we install includes a 10-year parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, both registered on your behalf. Upgrade to our Comfort Shield Plan and the labor warranty extends to 10 years, plus you receive two precision tune-ups annually, priority scheduling, 15 % repair discounts, and documented maintenance that keeps manufacturer warranties intact. Routine service is the best way to maximize efficiency, extend equipment life, and prevent surprise breakdowns.
