FAQs
What are the main steps in your seamless HVAC unit replacement process for Washburn homeowners?
Our process starts with a free in-home consultation and Manual J load calculation to confirm the correct system size. We then order the equipment you choose, secure the City of Washburn mechanical permit, and schedule installation day. On site, our crew protects floors, safely removes the old unit, makes any needed duct or electrical upgrades, installs the new condenser, air handler/furnace, thermostat, and line sets, pressure-tests and evacuates refrigerant lines, programs the controls, and performs a full performance and safety check. Finally, we show you how to operate the system, register the warranty, and haul away all debris—leaving your home as clean as we found it.
How long will the HVAC replacement take from start to finish?
Most standard change-outs (like-for-like furnace and A/C or heat pump) can be completed in 4–8 hours on a single day. If extensive duct modifications, electrical upgrades, or crawl-space work are needed, the job can extend to 1–2 days. Permitting and equipment procurement usually add 2–5 business days before installation, but we keep you informed at every step and coordinate around your schedule.
Do I need to pull a permit or schedule inspections in Washburn?
Yes. Under local building codes, any replacement of a central heating or cooling appliance requires a mechanical permit and a post-installation inspection. We handle the entire permitting process, pay the fees, coordinate with the city inspector, and provide you a copy of the final approval for your records, so you never have to worry about paperwork or compliance.
What equipment brands and options do you offer, and how do I choose the right system size?
We are factory-authorized dealers for Carrier, Trane, Lennox, and Bosch, offering high-efficiency gas furnaces, air conditioners, and dual-fuel or all-electric heat pumps. During the consultation we measure your home, evaluate insulation and window quality, and run a Manual J heat-gain/heat-loss calculation to size the system precisely. We then present 2–3 options at different efficiency and price points, explain SEER2/HSPF and AFUE ratings, and help you balance comfort, energy savings, and budget.
What does HVAC replacement typically cost in Washburn, and are financing or rebates available?
Pricing depends on system tonnage, efficiency, and any duct or electrical upgrades. Most complete replacements in the Washburn area fall between $5,500 and $12,000 before incentives. We partner with Synchrony and Wells Fargo for 0%-APR promotional financing (subject to credit approval) and help you claim utility rebates from Montana-Dakota Utilities and federal tax credits of up to 30% on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps. We provide a written, line-item quote so there are no surprises.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
All major brands we install carry a 10-year parts and compressor warranty (registration required), and we include a 1-year labor warranty at no extra cost. You can extend labor coverage to 10 years for added peace of mind. Every replacement comes with a complimentary first-year maintenance visit, and our VIP Comfort Club offers discounted annual tune-ups, 24/7 emergency service, and priority scheduling to keep your new system running at peak performance for years to come.
