FAQs
What does “up-front pricing” mean for my HVAC replacement, and how does it protect me?
Up-front pricing means you receive a firm, itemized quote before any work begins. After our comfort specialist performs a free in-home load calculation and system evaluation, we give you a written price that includes equipment, labor, permits, disposal of the old unit, and all taxes/fees. The amount will not change unless you request additional work, so you never encounter surprise charges or hourly overages.
How can I tell whether I should replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Consider replacement when your system is 10–15 years old, uses R-22 refrigerant, suffers frequent breakdowns, produces uneven temperatures, or needs a repair that exceeds about 40% of the cost of a new unit. New high-efficiency equipment often lowers energy bills 20–40%, so we present both repair and replacement costs so you can choose the option with the best long-term value.
What factors determine the cost of an HVAC replacement in Benton?
Price is affected by home size and insulation level (which set the required tonnage), the efficiency rating you choose (SEER2/AFUE/HSPF), any ductwork modifications, electrical or pad upgrades, indoor-air-quality add-ons (smart thermostat, zoning, UV lights), crane or attic access charges, and local permit and inspection fees. In the Benton area, complete system replacements typically run $5,500–$12,000, but your up-front quote will reflect your exact situation.
How long will the HVAC replacement process take?
Once you approve the proposal, we can schedule most installations within 24–48 hours if equipment is in stock. A straight condenser/furnace or heat-pump swap generally takes one working day. Jobs involving duct redesign or complicated electrical work may take two days. We pull the required city or county permit, and the final inspection is usually completed 3–5 business days after the installation.
Are financing, rebates, or tax credits available for new HVAC systems in Benton?
Yes. We offer 0% interest plans for 12–18 months and low-payment options up to 120 months with approved credit. Entergy Arkansas and other local utilities provide rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps and ACs, while manufacturers frequently run seasonal cash-back promotions. Qualifying heat pumps and high-efficiency furnaces also earn a federal tax credit of up to 30% (maximum $2,000) under the Inflation Reduction Act.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support do you provide?
Most systems come with a 10-year parts warranty and up to a lifetime heat-exchanger or compressor warranty on select models. We include a one-year labor warranty and offer optional labor-coverage extensions up to 10 years. Enrolling in our Comfort Club maintenance plan gives you two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and discounted repairs—benefits that also help keep your manufacturer warranty valid.
