FAQs
Why should I consider replacing my current HVAC system with a high-efficiency unit in Harrison?
High-efficiency HVAC units use advanced compressors, variable-speed blowers and smart thermostats that can reduce energy consumption by 20–40 % compared with older systems. In Harrison, where summers are humid and winters can dip below freezing, that translates to lower monthly utility bills, steadier indoor comfort and reduced strain on the local power grid. In addition, high-efficiency units often qualify for New York State energy rebates and federal tax credits, helping offset the initial investment.
How do I know it’s time to replace rather than repair my existing HVAC equipment?
Signs include frequent breakdowns, repair bills exceeding 30 % of the cost of a new system, rising energy costs, uneven heating or cooling, excessive noise and equipment that’s 10–15 years old or older. In Harrison’s climate, systems work hard year-round; once the compressor or heat exchanger starts failing, replacement is typically the most cost-effective and reliable choice.
What SEER2 and AFUE ratings should I look for in a high-efficiency replacement unit?
For cooling, aim for a Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2 (SEER2) of 16 or higher—today’s top models reach 20 +. For heating, look for an Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) of at least 95 %. Heat pumps rated 18 SEER2/10 HSPF2 or higher are also excellent for Harrison, providing efficient heating down to around 5 °F with auxiliary backup.
Will a high-efficiency HVAC system fit my existing ductwork?
In most Harrison homes the existing ductwork can be reused, but it must be inspected for proper sizing, insulation and leakage. High-efficiency systems move air at different velocities, so we perform a Manual D duct analysis to ensure optimal airflow. If ducts are undersized, excessively leaky or uninsulated, we’ll recommend sealing, insulating or, in some cases, installing new returns to maximize efficiency.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and will I be without heating or cooling?
A straightforward replacement generally takes one full working day (6–10 hours). Complex projects that include duct modifications, zoning or IAQ add-ons can extend to two days. We schedule replacements when weather permits, set up temporary heating or cooling if needed and handle all Town of Harrison permit inspections to minimize downtime.
What warranties and maintenance plans are available for my new high-efficiency system?
Most manufacturers offer 10-year parts and compressor warranties when the unit is registered within 60 days. Our Harrison customers also receive a 1-year labor warranty from us, extendable to 10 years through our Platinum Protection Plan. The plan includes two precision tune-ups per year, priority service, no overtime charges, and discounts on indoor air-quality accessories—ensuring your investment remains efficient and reliable for years to come.
