FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my existing HVAC system?
Most systems last 10–15 years. If your unit is in that age range and you’re experiencing frequent breakdowns, rising utility bills, uneven temperatures, or the use of R-22 (Freon) refrigerant, replacement is usually more cost-effective than continued repairs. A load calculation and energy audit by our Cumberland Gap technicians will confirm whether your current equipment can still meet your home’s heating and cooling demand or if a modern, higher-efficiency system will save you money in the long run.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take in Cumberland Gap?
For most single-family homes, removal of the old equipment and installation of the new unit can be completed in one day. Complex projects—such as relocating equipment, upgrading ductwork, or adding indoor air-quality accessories—may extend the timeline to two days. We schedule the work around your availability, obtain any needed permits in advance, and arrive with all materials so you experience as little disruption as possible.
What factors affect the cost of a new heating and air conditioning system?
Final price depends on the type of system (gas furnace and AC, heat pump, or dual-fuel), capacity in tons or BTUs, efficiency rating (SEER2, HSPF, AFUE), ductwork modifications, smart thermostat upgrades, and labor. Home size, insulation levels, and the electrical or gas infrastructure also play a role. After a free in-home assessment, we give you a written, no-surprise quote that itemizes equipment, labor, permits, and any available TVA or manufacturer rebates.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Cumberland Gap?
Yes. Claiborne County and the City of Cumberland Gap require mechanical permits for any equipment replacement that involves electrical or gas connections. Our team handles all paperwork, schedules inspections, and ensures your new system meets the latest International Residential Code (IRC) and local energy-efficiency standards. You will receive a copy of the passed inspection for your records and future home resale documentation.
Can you help me choose the right size and efficiency rating for my home?
Absolutely. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, and air leakage to determine the exact capacity your home needs. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run constantly and wear out early. We then present efficiency options—from standard 14.3 SEER2 models to ultra-efficient 20+ SEER2 variable-speed systems—and explain the payback period based on local electric and gas rates.
What warranties and financing options are available for a new HVAC unit?
All systems we install come with a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, with optional extensions to 12 years. We also register your equipment to ensure full coverage. For budgeting, we offer 0% APR financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months through our lending partners. Qualified customers can bundle the entire project cost—equipment, labor, thermostat, and accessories—into one easy monthly payment.
