FAQs
How can I tell if it’s time to replace my HVAC system rather than pay for another repair?
Most units are designed to last 12–15 years. If yours is approaching that age, needs frequent or expensive repairs, can’t keep a steady temperature, or causes noticeably higher utility bills each season, replacement is usually the most cost-effective option. Our Reliance technicians will perform a full load calculation and energy-use analysis to confirm whether repair or replacement makes better financial sense for you.
What size HVAC unit does my home in Reliance really need?
Bigger is not better. We calculate the correct capacity using Manual J load calculations that account for square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, local Reliance climate data, and your family’s comfort preferences. A properly sized system runs longer, cycles less often, controls humidity better, and reduces energy costs by up to 30 percent compared with an oversized or undersized unit.
How much can I expect to save on my utility bills after installing a high-efficiency replacement system?
Savings vary, but homeowners in Reliance who upgrade from a 10 SEER air-conditioning unit to a 16–18 SEER model and from an 80 AFUE furnace to a 96–98 AFUE furnace typically reduce annual heating and cooling costs by 25–40 percent. We provide a personalized energy-savings projection during your in-home estimate so you can see the payback period before committing.
Are there rebates, tax credits, or financing options available for HVAC replacements in Reliance?
Yes. Customers may qualify for federal tax credits of up to $2,000 on high-efficiency heat pumps, local utility rebates ranging from $200 to $800, and seasonal manufacturer promotions. Reliance Heating & Air also offers zero-down, low-interest financing for terms up to 120 months, allowing you to spread the cost out while you enjoy lower energy bills right away.
How long does the replacement process take, and will I be without heating or cooling?
A typical residential change-out (equipment only) takes one full day. If new ductwork or zoning controls are needed, it can extend to two days. We schedule installation around your timetable and ensure at least one comfort zone remains operational whenever possible. After installation, we test, balance, and commission the system the same day so you have dependable heating or cooling before we leave.
What kind of warranty and ongoing maintenance should I expect with a new HVAC system?
All premium systems we install include a 10-year manufacturer’s parts warranty and a 1-year labor warranty, which you can extend to 10 years for a small additional fee. Enrolling in our Reliance Comfort Club adds two precision tune-ups per year, priority scheduling, and 15 percent repair discounts—requirements that also keep your warranty valid and your new system operating at peak efficiency.
