FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my existing HVAC system in Dayton?
Most systems in the Miami Valley last 12-15 years, but replacement is recommended when you face frequent breakdowns, rising utility bills, or a major component failure such as a compressor or heat exchanger. If repair costs exceed roughly 30% of the price of a new, high-efficiency unit—or if your air conditioner is below 13 SEER or your furnace below 80% AFUE—upgrading will generally pay for itself in lower operating costs and improved comfort.
What efficiency ratings should I look for when choosing a new system?
For cooling, the minimum rating sold in Ohio is now 14.0 SEER2 (roughly 15 SEER under the old scale), but most Dayton homeowners opt for 16–18 SEER2 or higher to curb summer humidity and electricity use. For gas furnaces, aim for 95–98% AFUE condensing models; they capture almost all heat produced and vent safely through PVC. If you’re considering a heat pump, look for at least 7.5 HSPF2 (≈9 HSPF) and variable-speed compressors to handle both muggy summers and freezing winters efficiently.
How much can a high-efficiency HVAC replacement save on utilities?
Savings depend on your existing equipment. Replacing a 10-SEER air conditioner with a 17-SEER2 unit can cut cooling costs 35-45%. Upgrading an 80% AFUE furnace to 96% may lower winter gas bills 15-20%. Over a 15-year life span, a typical Dayton home can save $3,000–$6,000 in energy alone, not counting fewer repairs and improved indoor comfort.
Are rebates, tax credits, or utility incentives available in the Dayton area?
Yes. Through 2032, the federal Energy Efficient Home Improvement Credit offers up to 30% of project cost—capped at $600 for air conditioners and $2,000 for heat pumps or gas furnaces at 97%+ AFUE. DP&L (AES Ohio) often runs seasonal rebates on qualifying heat pumps and smart thermostats, and Columbia Gas of Ohio offers furnace rebates up to $400 for 96%+ AFUE models. You may also finance sales-tax-exempt under Ohio’s ECO-Link low-interest loan program.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
Most standard change-outs in Dayton can be completed in one day. Our team arrives around 8 a.m., removes the old equipment, makes any sheet-metal or refrigerant-line adjustments, installs the new indoor and outdoor units, and tests airflow, gas pressure, and refrigerant charge. You’re typically without heating or cooling for 4–6 hours, and we provide space heaters or portable AC units for vulnerable family members if needed.
Do you offer financing or maintenance plans to protect my investment?
Absolutely. We partner with Wells Fargo and Synchrony to provide 0% APR plans for 12–60 months as well as low-interest options up to 120 months upon approval. After installation, you can enroll in our Comfort Guard Maintenance Plan: two precision tune-ups per year, priority service within 24 hours, 15% repair discount, and preserved manufacturer parts-and-labor warranty—essential for safeguarding your new high-efficiency system.
