FAQs

What is a smart-diagnostics HVAC system and how does it benefit homeowners in Decherd?

A smart-diagnostics HVAC system uses built-in sensors and Wi-Fi connectivity to monitor temperatures, refrigerant pressures, fan speeds, voltage, and other performance data in real time. The equipment sends alerts to your thermostat, mobile app, and our service dashboard if something drifts out of range. In Decherd’s humid, swing-season climate, these early warnings help prevent breakdowns, maintain peak efficiency, and let us correct small issues before they become expensive repairs—saving you energy, money, and discomfort.

How do I know whether to repair or replace my existing heating and air unit?

We recommend considering replacement when: 1) the system is 10–15 years old; 2) repair costs exceed 30–40 % of the price of a new unit; 3) energy bills have risen noticeably; 4) your home has hot/cold spots or excessive humidity; or 5) the unit still uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured. Our technicians will run a smart-diagnostics health report and provide a cost-benefit analysis so you can make an informed decision tailored to Decherd’s weather patterns and local utility rates.

What efficiency ratings and equipment options are best for homes in Decherd?

Because Decherd experiences both hot, muggy summers and cool winters, we typically recommend high-efficiency heat pumps or dual-fuel systems with SEER2 ratings of 16–20 and HSPF2 ratings of 8.1 or higher. Variable-speed compressors and ECM blower motors maximize comfort and humidity control while lowering electric bills. If you have natural gas, a 95 %+ AFUE furnace paired with a high-SEER2 AC or heat pump provides exceptional performance. Our load calculation software factors in your home’s square footage, insulation, window orientation, and ductwork to size the equipment correctly.

How long does an HVAC replacement and smart-diagnostics setup take?

Most residential change-outs in Decherd take one full day. We start with protective floor coverings, remove and recycle the old unit, modify the pad or air handler stand if necessary, and install the new condenser, coil, furnace/air handler, and smart thermostat. We then connect the system to your Wi-Fi, calibrate sensors, and run a diagnostic startup test. Duct revisions or indoor air-quality add-ons (e.g., UV lights, media filters) can add a few hours. You receive a digital commissioning report before we leave.

Are there rebates or financing options available for high-efficiency replacements?

Yes. Many ENERGY STAR® heat pumps and furnaces qualify for federal tax credits of up to $2,000 under the Inflation Reduction Act. Local utility TVA-EnergyRight also offers rebates ranging from $300 to $750 for qualifying systems installed in the Decherd area. We partner with lenders that provide 0 % APR plans for 12–18 months or low-interest terms up to 120 months. Our comfort consultant will file all rebate paperwork and walk you through monthly payment options during your estimate.

What warranties and maintenance plans come with a new smart-diagnostics HVAC unit?

Most of our featured manufacturers offer a 10-year parts warranty and a 10- to 12-year compressor warranty when the system is registered within 60 days. We include a one-year labor warranty plus complimentary enrollment in our Smart Comfort Plan for the first year. The plan covers two precision tune-ups, 24/7 health-status monitoring, priority scheduling, and a 15 % discount on any future repairs. Extended labor warranties up to 10 years are available for added peace of mind.
