FAQs
How do I know it’s time to replace my existing HVAC system in Ocoee?
Most systems last 10–15 years in Central Florida’s hot, humid climate. Rising utility bills, frequent repairs, uneven temperatures, excessive noise, and R-22 refrigerant usage are all warning signs. A professional load calculation and efficiency test can confirm whether your equipment is operating below 80 % of its original capacity—our usual benchmark for recommending replacement.
What makes a high-efficiency HVAC unit different and how much can I save?
High-efficiency air conditioners and heat pumps carry SEER2 ratings of 16–20+, use variable-speed compressors and fans, and feature smart communicating controls. Compared with a 10-year-old 12-SEER system, a 17-SEER2 unit can cut cooling costs up to 40 %. Heat pumps with HSPF2 ratings of 8.1–9.5 also lower winter heating expenses, which matter on those 30–40 chilly nights Ocoee gets each year.
Are there rebates or tax incentives available in Ocoee for installing high-efficiency equipment?
Yes. Homeowners may qualify for: • Federal Energy-Efficient Home Improvement Tax Credit—up to $2,000 on qualifying heat pumps and $600 on high-efficiency A/Cs and furnaces. • Utility rebates: Duke Energy and OUC typically offer $150–$400 per ton for ENERGY STAR® heat pumps. • Florida PACE financing—no money down, paid through property taxes. We handle all paperwork and rebate submissions as part of our replacement service.
How is the correct size and type of replacement unit determined for my home?
We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, duct leakage, and the number of occupants. Sizing strictly by tonnage of the old unit often leads to oversizing, short cycling, and humidity problems—major issues in Ocoee’s climate. Based on the load, we propose options (two-stage or variable-speed heat pump, gas furnace with high-SEER A/C coil, etc.) that fit your comfort goals and budget.
How long does an HVAC replacement take and will I be without cooling or heating?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day. We arrive at 8 a.m., remove the old equipment, set the pad or hanging platform, install the indoor air handler or furnace, outdoor condenser/heat pump, reconnect electrical and refrigerant lines, evacuate and charge the system, and commission the controls. Your home is typically without conditioned air for 4–6 hours, and we provide portable spot coolers upon request.
What maintenance is required after installation to keep my new high-efficiency system running at peak performance?
Change or clean filters every 30–60 days, keep outdoor coils free of debris, and schedule professional maintenance each spring and fall. Our Comfort Shield Plan includes coil cleaning, refrigerant pressure checks, thermostat calibration, and firmware updates for smart communicating systems. Proper maintenance preserves your manufacturer’s 10-year parts warranty and keeps efficiency within 95 % of factory specs.
