FAQs
How do I know when it’s time to replace my HVAC unit in Ocoee rather than repair it?
Most systems in Central Florida last 10–15 years. If yours is within that age range, needs frequent repairs, or your summer electric bills keep rising despite regular maintenance, replacement is usually more cost-effective. A professional load calculation and an energy-efficiency assessment will confirm whether a new unit will reduce costs enough to justify the investment.
How much can a new high-efficiency HVAC system lower my energy bills?
Homeowners in Ocoee who upgrade from a 10-SEER unit to a 16-18 SEER heat pump typically see 20–40 % savings on cooling costs and 10–15 % savings on heating. The exact amount depends on your home’s insulation, duct sealing, thermostat habits, and the efficiency rating of the new equipment. We provide a projected savings report before installation so you can see payback time in dollars and years.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available for HVAC replacement in Ocoee?
Yes. Through the Inflation Reduction Act, qualifying ENERGY STAR heat pumps earn a federal tax credit of 30 % of project cost up to $2,000. OUC and Duke Energy also offer rebates—typically $150–$600—when you install a high-efficiency unit and have a post-inspection. Our team completes the paperwork and submits proof of installation so you receive every available incentive.
How do I choose the right HVAC size and SEER rating for Florida’s climate?
Bigger is not better. We perform Manual J calculations that factor in square footage, window orientation, insulation levels, and occupant load. This ensures the unit runs long enough to remove humidity yet cycles off to save energy. For most Ocoee homes, a 16–18 SEER heat pump balances upfront cost and long-term utility savings; coastal-grade coils and variable-speed air handlers further improve comfort in our humid climate.
What is the typical timeline and disruption level for an HVAC replacement?
A standard like-for-like change-out usually takes 1 day—remove the old equipment, set the new condenser, replace the air handler or furnace, connect refrigerant lines, wire the thermostat, evacuate and charge the system, and run final tests. If ductwork upgrades or an attic platform replacement are needed, plan on 2–3 days. We lay down floor protection, remove debris the same day, and obtain the final city inspection so you experience minimal disruption.
How can I maximize the lifespan and efficiency of my new HVAC unit?
Change filters every 30–60 days during peak cooling, keep the outdoor condenser clear of vegetation, and schedule biannual maintenance—spring for cooling, fall for heating. Routine visits include coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure checks, thermostat calibration, and duct inspection. Enrolling in our Energy Savings Plan locks in priority service and a parts-and-labor discount, protecting your investment well past the manufacturer’s 10-year parts warranty.
