FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Most systems in Dayton are designed to last 10–15 years. If your unit is within or beyond that range, needs frequent or costly repairs, uses the discontinued R-22 refrigerant, or has noticeably higher energy bills, replacement is usually more economical. A professional load calculation and inspection will confirm whether performance issues stem from age, sizing errors, or component failures that justify a full replacement.
What is the average cost of HVAC unit replacement in Dayton?
For a complete heating and cooling change-out, homeowners typically spend between $6,500 and $12,000, including equipment, labor, permits, and basic duct modifications. High-efficiency heat pumps, variable-speed furnaces, or complex ductwork changes can push the price higher. We provide a free in-home estimate so you receive an exact quote tailored to your home’s size, existing infrastructure, and desired efficiency level.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take?
Most straightforward replacements are completed in one day—approximately 4–8 hours—once the new equipment has arrived. More involved projects that require duct redesign, electrical upgrades, or indoor air-quality add-ons may extend the timeline to two days. We schedule inspections and utility shut-offs in advance to keep disruptions to a minimum and restore heating or cooling the same day whenever possible.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives or rebates available in Dayton for new HVAC units?
Yes. Dayton Power & Light (AES Ohio) periodically offers rebates for ENERGY STAR® heat pumps and high-efficiency air conditioners. Federal tax credits of up to 30% (capped at $2,000 for heat pumps and $600 for furnaces/ACs) are available through 2032 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Some manufacturers also provide instant rebates during promotional periods. We handle the paperwork and will advise you of current programs during your estimate.
What size HVAC system do I need for my home?
Sizing is determined by a Manual J load calculation that evaluates square footage, insulation, window count, orientation, and duct design. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run constantly and fail to maintain comfort. During our assessment, we perform the load calculation, inspect ductwork, and recommend equipment with the correct tonnage and BTU output to ensure balanced heating and cooling throughout your home.
Do you offer financing, warranties, and maintenance plans for new HVAC installations?
Absolutely. We partner with local lenders to provide low-interest, no-money-down financing options, often with same-day approval. All replacements include a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, which can be extended to 10 years with our optional protection plan. We also offer annual maintenance agreements that include two precision tune-ups, priority service, and discounted repairs to keep your new system running at peak efficiency.
