FAQs
What does the free HVAC replacement consultation include?
Our no-obligation consultation starts with a visit to your Dayton-area home by a certified comfort advisor. We inspect your existing furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump; measure your home’s square footage and duct sizes; evaluate insulation levels; and discuss any comfort issues you’ve noticed. We then present at least three system options—including efficiency ratings, projected energy savings, warranty details, and upfront and monthly payment estimates—so you can compare them side by side. You’ll leave the appointment with a written proposal; no service call fees, travel charges, or high-pressure sales tactics.
How do I know if it’s time to replace rather than repair my HVAC system?
In general, we recommend considering replacement when your system is 10–15 years old, needs frequent or expensive repairs, or uses R-22 refrigerant (which is no longer produced). Rising utility bills, uneven temperatures, excess humidity, or loud operation can also signal declining efficiency. During your consultation we run a cost-of-ownership analysis: if the repair cost multiplied by the unit’s age exceeds 50% of the price of a new, high-efficiency model, replacement is usually the smarter long-term investment.
How long does an HVAC replacement take from start to finish?
Most residential change-outs in Dayton can be completed in a single day. After you accept a proposal, we secure permits, schedule installation, and order any special-order equipment. On installation day our NATE-certified crew arrives between 8–9 a.m., removes and responsibly recycles your old unit, installs the new system, upgrades the thermostat, pressure-tests and evacuates refrigerant lines, and performs a full start-up and safety check. We finish with homeowner training and a spotless cleanup. Complex jobs involving duct modifications or indoor air quality add-ons may take an extra day.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for new HVAC systems in Dayton?
Yes. Many high-efficiency furnaces, A/Cs, and heat pumps qualify for federal energy tax credits of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Local utility companies such as DP&L/AES Ohio often offer $200–$600 rebates for ENERGY STAR® equipment. We partner with multiple lenders to provide 0% APR promotions for 12–24 months or low-interest plans up to 120 months with no prepayment penalties. Our team completes all rebate paperwork and furnishes the AHRI certificates you’ll need for tax filing.
How much can I save on energy bills with a new high-efficiency HVAC system?
Savings depend on your current equipment’s age and efficiency. Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner with a 16-SEER2 model or a 70% AFUE furnace with a 96% AFUE unit can cut cooling and heating costs by 30–50%. For a typical 2,000-sq-ft Dayton home spending $2,000 a year on HVAC energy, that’s $600–$1,000 back in your pocket annually. Our proposal includes a personalized energy-use comparison using local utility rates so you can estimate payback time accurately.
How do you determine the right size and type of HVAC system for my home?
We perform an ACCA Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, window area, orientation, insulation R-values, occupancy, and even Dayton’s design temperatures (89 °F summer, ‑1 °F winter). This engineering approach prevents oversizing, which can cause humidity problems and short cycling, or undersizing, which leads to discomfort and higher bills. We then recommend the best equipment type—single-stage, two-stage, variable-speed, dual-fuel, or geothermal—based on your comfort goals, budget, and available fuel sources. All recommendations comply with Ohio Mechanical Code and ENERGY STAR® guidelines.
