FAQs

How do I schedule a free HVAC replacement estimate in Deer Lodge?

Scheduling is easy—either call our local office, fill out the online request form, or message us through our chat feature. We’ll confirm your Deer Lodge address, gather a few details about your existing system, and offer several appointment windows (including evenings and Saturdays). Estimates are 100% free, and there’s no obligation to buy.

What happens during the free in-home evaluation?

A certified comfort advisor arrives on time, measures your home’s square footage, checks insulation levels, evaluates ductwork, and inspects your current furnace and/or air conditioner. They’ll discuss comfort concerns (hot or cold spots, humidity, noise), review energy-usage history, and explain equipment options. Before leaving, you’ll receive a written proposal that lists system sizes, efficiency ratings, upfront price, available rebates, and projected operating costs.

How much does a new HVAC system typically cost in Deer Lodge, and what factors affect price?

For most single-family homes in Deer Lodge, a full replacement (furnace + air conditioner or heat pump) runs $7,000–$13,000 installed. Price varies with: • Equipment efficiency (SEER2, AFUE, HSPF ratings) • System capacity (tons or BTUs) based on load calculation • Brand and warranty level • Duct modifications or additions • Optional accessories (smart thermostat, air purifier, humidifier) • Applicable utility rebates or federal tax credits Our estimate breaks down each component so you can see exactly where every dollar goes.

Will replacing my old unit really lower my energy bills?

In most cases, yes—especially if your existing system is 12+ years old or has a SEER rating below 13. Modern air conditioners reach 16–20 SEER2, and 96% AFUE furnaces convert nearly all fuel to heat. Customers in Deer Lodge typically see 20–40% savings on heating and cooling costs after upgrading. We’ll run a personalized energy-savings calculation during your free estimate so you know the payback period in advance.

How long does installation take, and will I be without heating or cooling?

A straightforward change-out (using existing ductwork) usually takes one full day—our crew arrives around 8 a.m. and you’re back up and running by late afternoon. Complex jobs with duct revisions may extend to two days. We remove and recycle the old unit, install the new system, pressure-test and evacuate the refrigerant lines, set up the thermostat, and perform a full startup inspection. You’ll never be left overnight without some form of heating or cooling unless you approve it in advance.

Do I need permits or inspections for an HVAC replacement in Deer Lodge?

Yes. Deer Lodge and Powell County require a mechanical permit for furnace or A/C replacements to ensure the work meets International Mechanical Code standards. We handle the entire permitting process, schedule any necessary city or county inspections, and provide you with documentation for your records. All permit fees are included in your written quote—there are no surprise charges later.
