FAQs
How do you calculate transparent pricing for an HVAC unit replacement in Palmer?
Our transparent pricing model breaks every quote into clearly labeled line items. You will see individual costs for equipment (furnace, air-conditioner, heat pump, thermostat, accessories), labor hours, permits, disposal fees, and taxes. We use manufacturer price sheets, current local labor rates, and municipal permit schedules, so nothing is hidden or rounded up. Before work begins, you receive a digital copy of the full breakdown and we stick to that price unless you request additional work.
What factors can cause the price of a replacement HVAC system to go up or down?
Key variables include system size (measured in BTUs or tons), efficiency rating (SEER2, AFUE, or HSPF), ductwork condition, electrical or gas line upgrades, and the difficulty of accessing your mechanical room or attic. In Palmer, extreme winter lows often require higher-capacity or dual-fuel systems, which influence cost. Conversely, existing well-sealed ducts or a straightforward swap-out can lower the final price.
Can I get a free onsite estimate and an itemized quote before committing?
Yes. We provide no-obligation onsite evaluations anywhere in Palmer. A comfort advisor will measure your home, assess insulation and ductwork, and discuss comfort goals. Within 24 hours you receive an itemized, written quote that locks in pricing for 30 days, so you can compare options without pressure. We can also email or text the quote in PDF format for easy reference.
How long does it take to replace my heating and cooling system once I approve the quote?
Most standard furnace/AC or heat-pump replacements are completed in one dayâtypically 6â8 labor hours. More complex jobs that involve duct modifications, line-set rerouting, or electrical panel upgrades may take two days. We schedule city inspections right away so you are never left without heat or cooling overnight, and we remove and recycle the old unit the same day.
Are financing plans, rebates, or tax credits available for Palmer homeowners?
Absolutely. We partner with several lenders to offer 0% interest financing for 12â18 months or low-APR plans up to 120 months. In Palmer, customers often qualify for Mass SaveÂŽ/Alaska Energy Rebate incentives, federal 25C tax credits (up to $2,000 on select high-efficiency heat pumps), and manufacturer seasonal rebates. Our staff handles all paperwork and deducts confirmed rebates directly from your upfront price.
What kind of warranty and after-install support do you provide?
All systems come with a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty and a 2-year labor warranty at no extra charge. Registering your equipment within 60 days extends parts coverage to the full 10 years. We include a complimentary first-year maintenance visit and offer discounted annual service agreements that keep warranties valid and maintain peak efficiency. If anything fails within the warranty period, parts and labor are coveredâno surprise bills.
