FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my current HVAC system rather than repair it?
Most systems in Lancing last 12–15 years. If yours is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, or your energy bills have risen sharply, replacement is usually the smarter investment. A home-energy analysis and load calculation by our technicians will confirm whether an upgrade will lower lifetime costs compared with more repairs.
What advantages will I see by upgrading to a high-efficiency heating & air conditioning unit?
Today’s furnaces reach 95–98% AFUE and air-conditioners achieve 15–20 SEER2. Upgrading can cut annual heating and cooling costs 20–40%, deliver steadier indoor temperatures, reduce humidity in summer, and improve air quality through variable-speed blowers and better filtration. High-efficiency units are also quieter and come with longer factory warranties—often 10 years on parts and compressor.
How do you determine the right size HVAC system for my Lancing home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window type, orientation, number of occupants, and local weather data for Morgan County. Oversized units short-cycle and waste energy; undersized units run constantly and can’t keep you comfortable. A precise load calculation ensures you receive the ideal capacity for maximum efficiency and comfort.
How long will the replacement take, and will I be without heating or cooling during the process?
A standard change-out of an existing split system typically takes one full working day. We remove the old equipment, set the new outdoor condenser or heat pump, install the indoor coil or furnace, reconnect refrigerant lines, update the thermostat, and pressure-test and evacuate the system before charging with refrigerant. You will be without heating or cooling only during the work window; we schedule installations to minimize downtime and always restore service before we leave.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing programs available in Lancing for high-efficiency HVAC upgrades?
Yes. Eligible ENERGY STAR-rated heat pumps and gas furnaces can qualify for up to $2,000 in federal Inflation Reduction Act tax credits. TVA’s EnergyRight program and Plateau Electric Cooperative often offer $150–$500 per-ton rebates for qualifying heat pumps. We also partner with lenders who provide 0% APR financing for 12 months or low fixed-rate plans up to 120 months, allowing you to spread the investment over manageable payments.
How much can I expect to save on energy bills after installing a high-efficiency system?
Savings vary with home size and usage patterns, but homeowners in the Lancing area typically report 20–40% lower electric bills and 15–30% lower propane or natural-gas costs. For a 2,000-sq-ft home spending $250 a month on utilities, that’s $600–$1,200 in annual savings—often enough to recoup the upgrade cost within 5–8 years while enjoying better comfort the entire time.
