FAQs
What does “transparent pricing” mean for my HVAC replacement in Signal Mountain?
Transparent pricing means you see every cost up-front—equipment, labor, permits, removal of the old unit, thermostat, and any accessories—before you sign. There are no surprise fees on installation day, and if an unforeseen issue arises (for example, a damaged drain pan or code-required safety switch), we clear the additional cost with you in writing before proceeding.
How much does a typical HVAC unit replacement cost in Signal Mountain, and what factors influence the price?
Most complete system replacements in the Signal Mountain area range from $5,500 to $11,000, including installation and permit fees. Price varies based on: • System size (tonnage) needed to heat/cool your square footage. • Efficiency rating (SEER2 for cooling, AFUE for gas heat) you choose. • Type of equipment—heat pump, gas furnace/AC split, or dual-fuel. • Ductwork modifications or indoor air quality add-ons (e.g., whole-home dehumidifier). • Electrical or gas line upgrades required to meet current code.
How long will the replacement take, and will my home be without heating or cooling during the process?
A standard “like-for-like” replacement typically takes one full working day (6–8 hours). We schedule installations in the milder morning hours whenever possible so downtime is minimal. Your existing system stays on until the new equipment is ready to be set, and we test the new unit before leaving to ensure continuous comfort the same day.
Do I need permits for an HVAC replacement in Signal Mountain, and who handles them?
Yes. Hamilton County requires a mechanical permit for any equipment change-out, and the power utility must receive documentation before reconnecting service to a heat pump. We obtain all necessary permits, arrange the inspection, and include the permit fee in your written quote so you never have to visit the county office.
What financing, rebates, or tax credits are available for a new HVAC system?
We partner with several lenders to offer payment plans ranging from 12-month same-as-cash to 60-month low-interest loans. Most high-efficiency systems qualify for: • Up to $2,000 federal energy-efficiency tax credit (Section 25C, subject to income tax liability). • TVA EnergyRight heat-pump rebates up to $400. • Seasonal manufacturer rebates ($300–$1,000) when available. Our comfort consultant will calculate all incentives and apply them to your transparent quote.
What kind of warranty and post-installation support can I expect?
All systems come with a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty (registration completed by us), a 1-year labor warranty, and a first-year complimentary maintenance visit. Optional Comfort Club membership extends labor coverage to 10 years, provides two precision tune-ups annually, priority service within 24 hours, and 15% off any future repairs or accessories.
