FAQs
What are the most common signs that my AC or heating system needs to be replaced rather than repaired?
Frequent breakdowns, rooms that never reach the set temperature, rising energy bills, loud or unusual noises, and equipment that’s 12–15 years old are strong indicators your HVAC system is nearing the end of its life. If repair costs are approaching 30–50 % of the price of a new unit or if your unit uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, replacement is usually the most economical and future-proof choice.
How long does a complete HVAC unit replacement take in Reliance?
Most residential replacements are completed in one working day. Our certified technicians arrive in the morning, remove the old equipment, make any ductwork or electrical modifications, set the new condenser or heat pump outside, install the new air handler or furnace inside, pressure-test and evacuate the refrigerant lines, charge the system, then perform a full start-up and quality check. Larger homes, zoning upgrades, or extensive duct changes can extend the project to two days, but we always restore heating or cooling before we leave for the evening.
What size and type of HVAC unit is right for my home?
Proper sizing is critical: an undersized unit will run nonstop and still feel uncomfortable, while an oversized unit short-cycles, wasting energy and causing humidity problems. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, ceiling height, and occupancy. From there we recommend the most efficient match—options include traditional split systems, high-efficiency heat pumps, variable-speed inverters, or dual-fuel setups. We also discuss indoor air quality upgrades such as media filters, UV lights, and smart thermostats so your new system meets both comfort and health goals.
How much does HVAC replacement cost in Reliance and what impacts the price?
A typical 14–16 SEER (or 15.2 SEER2) replacement package for a 2- to 3-ton home starts around $6,500–$8,500 installed. High-efficiency variable-speed systems can range from $9,000–$13,000. Key cost drivers include: cooling and heating capacity (tonnage/Btuh), efficiency rating (SEER2/HSPF/AFUE), brand and model tier, ductwork modifications, thermostat or zoning upgrades, and whether an electrical service upgrade is needed. We provide a detailed, no-surprise written estimate after the in-home assessment and offer multiple system and financing options to fit your budget.
Will a new HVAC system really lower my monthly energy bills?
Yes. Older units often operate at 8–10 SEER. Replacing them with today’s minimum 15.2 SEER2 equipment can cut cooling costs by up to 40 %. High-efficiency heat pumps with variable-speed compressors deliver even greater savings, especially in mild Reliance winters. Better blower motors, tighter refrigerant management, and smarter thermostats all improve performance. Most customers see payback on the efficiency upgrade portion of their investment within 4–6 years, and the comfort improvement is immediate.
What warranties, maintenance, and financing options do you offer with a new HVAC installation?
Every system we install includes a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, with optional 10-year labor coverage for worry-free protection. We also enroll your new unit in our Precision Care Plan, which provides two seasonal tune-ups, priority service, and discounts on filters and accessories. Flexible financing is available—0 % APR for up to 18 months or low-monthly-payment plans up to 120 months (subject to credit approval). Our team handles the paperwork, utility rebate applications, and any permits required by the city of Reliance.
