FAQs
How do I know itâs time to replace my HVAC unit instead of repairing it?
Our certified technicians start every service call in Deer Lodge with a full diagnostic inspection. If your system is more than 12â15 years old, needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or has a SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) below current federal standards, replacement is usually more cost-effective than another repair. We will show you the projected energy savings, repair history, and remaining life expectancy so you can make an informed decision.
What size or type of system is best for homes in Deer Lodgeâs climate?
Deer Lodge experiences sub-zero winters and warm, dry summers, so an accurately sized, high-efficiency heat pump or a dual-fuel furnace/AC combo is often ideal. During our free in-home consultation we perform Manual J load calculations, factoring in square footage, insulation, window orientation, and local design temperatures. We then recommend ENERGY STARÂŽ systems with at least 14.3 SEER2 (or 95% AFUE for gas furnaces) to keep your utility bills low while maintaining comfort year-round.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take?
Most straightforward change-outsâremoving the old equipment, setting the new unit, connecting ductwork, line sets, electrical, and thermostatâcan be completed in one day. If duct modifications, indoor air quality add-ons, or code upgrades are required, the project may extend to two days. Our certified crew arrives with all permits in place, protects your flooring, and conducts a full startup test before we leave.
What will my HVAC replacement cost and do you offer financing?
In Deer Lodge, complete replacement costs generally range from $6,500 for a basic 2-ton AC/furnace package to $14,000+ for high-efficiency variable-speed heat pumps. Exact pricing depends on capacity, efficiency ratings, and any duct or electrical upgrades. We partner with local and national lenders to provide 0% APR promotional financing and low-monthly-payment plans, subject to credit approval. We also file available utility rebates and federal tax credits on your behalf.
Are your technicians certified, and what warranties are included?
Yes. Every installer on our team holds NATE (North American Technician Excellence) and EPA Section 608 certifications, and our company is licensed, bonded, and insured in the state of Montana. We register your new equipment for the full manufacturer warrantyâtypically 10 years on parts and compressorsâand back our labor with a written 2-year workmanship guarantee. Optional extended labor warranties up to 12 years are also available.
What kind of maintenance will my new HVAC system need after installation?
To preserve your warranty and maximize efficiency, we recommend two precision tune-ups per year: one in spring for cooling and one in fall for heating. During these visits we clean coils, check refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, test safety controls, and replace or clean filters. Customers who enroll in our Comfort Club receive priority scheduling, a 15% repair discount, and automatic warranty documentation for all maintenance performed.
