FAQs

Why should I choose an energy-efficient HVAC unit with an integrated dehumidifier for my Soddy-Daisy home?

Southeast Tennessee’s hot, humid summers can push standard air conditioners to run longer just to remove excess moisture. An ENERGY STAR®–rated system paired with a whole-home dehumidifier removes humidity more effectively, letting the AC cycle off sooner and saving up to 20-30 % on cooling costs. Lower indoor humidity also prevents mold, dust-mite growth, and musty odors, protecting both your family’s health and your home’s structure.

What size and efficiency rating do I need for my house?

During your free in-home consultation we perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation, window quality, orientation, and occupancy. From those numbers we match you with the right tonnage and Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (SEER2) so the system isn’t oversized or undersized. Most Soddy-Daisy homeowners land in the 15–18 SEER2 range for an excellent balance of upfront cost and long-term savings, while ENERGY STAR® qualifications start at 14.3 SEER2 for split systems.

How much can I expect to save on my utility bills after installation?

Savings vary by home, but customers who replace a 10-year-old 10 SEER system with a new 16 SEER2 model typically see 25–40 % lower summer electric bills. Add the dehumidifier and you can raise the thermostat 2-3 °F while feeling the same comfort, compounding the savings. Many families in Soddy-Daisy report payback periods of 5–7 years when energy and maintenance savings are combined.

Are there rebates or financing options available in Soddy-Daisy?

Yes. TVA’s EnergyRight® program currently offers rebates of $250–$500 on qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps, and EPB or Sequachee Valley Electric Co-op members may be eligible for on-bill 6.9 % financing. We also handle manufacturer rebates (often $200–$1,000 during seasonal promos) and provide 0 % APR plans for up to 18 months with approved credit, allowing you to spread the investment over time.

What is the installation timeframe and will I be without heating or cooling?

Most standard change-outs, including duct modifications and dehumidifier integration, take one full working day. We remove your old equipment, set the new condenser/air handler, connect refrigerant and condensate lines, and re-commission the system the same day. Your home will be without heating or cooling only during the swap-over period—typically 3–5 hours—so we schedule installations early to minimize discomfort.

How do I maintain my new system to keep it running efficiently?

Replace or clean filters every 30–60 days, keep the outdoor condenser free from leaves and grass, and schedule a professional bi-annual tune-up before the cooling and heating seasons. The tune-up includes checking refrigerant charge, cleaning coils, verifying airflow, and calibrating the dehumidifier’s humidistat. Proper maintenance preserves your warranty, sustains high efficiency, and can add 3–5 years to the system’s lifespan.
