FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Signs that it’s time to replace an HVAC system include frequent breakdowns (more than two major repairs in a year), rising utility bills despite maintenance, uneven temperatures throughout the home, equipment over 12–15 years old, or if repair costs exceed 30–40 % of the price of a new system. During our meticulous inspection in Dayton, we measure system efficiency, check for refrigerant leaks, inspect the heat exchanger, and run load calculations. If replacement is more economical long-term, we’ll present detailed options and savings projections.
What brands and system types do you install for Dayton homeowners?
We install high-efficiency furnaces, air conditioners, heat pumps, and ductless mini-splits from trusted brands such as Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, and Mitsubishi. Each brand is selected for reliability, local parts availability, and strong manufacturer warranties. Our comfort advisors help you compare SEER2 ratings, AFUE percentages, noise levels, and smart-thermostat compatibility so you can choose the system that best fits your home’s size, insulation level, and budget.
How long does a complete HVAC replacement take and what does the process involve?
A typical residential HVAC replacement in Dayton takes one full working day. Larger homes or dual-system installations may require up to two days. Our meticulous process includes: 1. Pre-installation load calculation and duct inspection. 2. Securely removing and recycling the old equipment. 3. Setting new pads or brackets, upgrading line-sets, drain lines, and electrical disconnects. 4. Installing the new indoor and outdoor units, followed by precision refrigerant charging with digital gauges. 5. Sealing and insulating all duct connections and testing static pressure. 6. System start-up, performance verification, and homeowner orientation on thermostat use and filter changes.
Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Dayton?
Yes. The City of Dayton and Montgomery County require mechanical permits for furnace or air-conditioning replacements. As a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor, we pull all necessary permits on your behalf. After installation, a municipal inspector verifies that the equipment is sized correctly, venting is safe, and all electrical and gas connections meet code. Permit and inspection fees are included in our upfront quote—no hidden costs.
What kind of warranties and maintenance plans do you offer?
Most systems come with a 10-year parts warranty and 10- to 12-year compressor or heat-exchanger warranty when registered within 60 days. Our labor warranty covers workmanship for up to 2 years, with extended 10-year labor protection available. To keep warranties valid, we offer a Precision Maintenance Plan featuring two seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, and 15 % repair discounts. Regular maintenance maximizes efficiency, extends equipment life, and maintains manufacturer coverage.
Are financing and rebates available for HVAC replacements in Dayton?
Absolutely. We partner with several lenders to provide 0 % APR financing for up to 18 months or low-interest plans up to 10 years, subject to credit approval. Utility rebates of $200–$800 may apply for ENERGY STAR® heat pumps or high-efficiency furnaces. Federal tax credits of 30 % (up to $2,000 for qualifying heat pumps) are also available through 2032. Our team handles the paperwork, ensuring you receive every possible incentive to lower your upfront costs.
