FAQs
Why should I consider upgrading my existing air conditioning system in Bean Station?
Upgrading to a modern, high-efficiency air conditioner can reduce your cooling bills by as much as 30–40 %, provide more consistent comfort during our hot, humid Tennessee summers, and eliminate the frequent repairs that older equipment often requires. Newer systems also use environmentally friendly refrigerants that meet current EPA guidelines.
How do I know what size or capacity AC unit my home needs?
Proper sizing is determined through a Manual J load calculation, which factors in your home’s square footage, insulation levels, window types, sun exposure, and even the number of occupants. Our comfort specialists perform this calculation during your in-home consultation to ensure you receive a system that delivers optimal efficiency and comfort without short-cycling or running continuously.
What is the typical cost of an AC system upgrade, and do you offer financing?
Costs vary based on system capacity, efficiency ratings (SEER2), and any ductwork modifications required, but most residential upgrades in Bean Station fall between $5,500 and $11,000. We partner with multiple lenders to provide low- or zero-interest financing options, usually with approval decisions in minutes, so you can spread the investment over manageable monthly payments.
How long does the installation process take and will I be without cooling?
A straightforward replacement typically takes one working day—removing the old unit, setting the outdoor condenser, installing the air handler or furnace coil, connecting refrigerant and electrical lines, and commissioning the new system. You may be without cooling for four to six hours, but we schedule installations to minimize downtime and always clean up before leaving.
Are there rebates or tax incentives for upgrading my air conditioner in Bean Station?
Yes. Through the Inflation Reduction Act, qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners can earn a federal tax credit of up to 30 % of the project cost, capped at $2,000. Local utility companies, such as Appalachian Electric Cooperative (AEC), also offer rebates that range from $150 to $400 for ENERGY STAR-certified units. We’ll handle the paperwork to ensure you receive every available incentive.
What kind of maintenance and warranty coverage comes with a new system?
All systems we install include a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a one-year labor warranty, with extended labor coverage available. To keep the warranty valid and maximize system life, schedule professional maintenance each spring. Our Comfort Club plan provides a 21-point inspection, coil cleaning, and priority service at a discounted annual rate.
