How much does a new HVAC system cost?

Complete HVAC systems typically range from $2,500 to $8,000 depending on size, efficiency rating, and brand. A 2-ton system for a small home costs less than a 5-ton unit for larger spaces. Higher SEER ratings (16-20+) cost more upfront but save on energy bills. We offer financing through Affirm, Sezzle, and PayPal to make installation affordable with monthly payments.

What size HVAC system do I need for my home?

System size depends on square footage, insulation, ceiling height, and climate zone. A 1,200-1,500 sq ft home typically needs a 2-2.5 ton system. For 1,500-1,800 sq ft, you'll want 2.5-3 tons. Homes 1,800-2,500 sq ft generally require 3-3.5 tons, while 2,500+ sq ft needs 4-5 tons. Our team can help calculate the exact tonnage for your specific home.

How long does HVAC installation take?

Most complete system installations take 6-10 hours for a straightforward replacement. If you're upgrading ductwork, adding zones, or installing in new construction, expect 1-3 days. Ductless mini-split systems install faster, usually 4-8 hours. We'll give you a specific timeline once we evaluate your property and existing setup.

What SEER rating should I choose?

The minimum SEER is 14-15 depending on your region, but higher ratings save more on energy costs. SEER 16 systems offer good efficiency at reasonable prices. SEER 18-20 models cost more initially but reduce utility bills by 20-30% compared to minimum efficiency units. In hot climates like Florida and Texas, investing in SEER 16+ pays off within 5-7 years through lower electric bills.

Do you offer financing options?

Yes, we partner with Affirm, Sezzle, and PayPal for flexible financing. Affirm offers monthly payment plans with rates based on your credit. Sezzle splits purchases into four interest-free payments. PayPal Credit provides promotional financing periods. Most customers get approved quickly online, and you can see your options before committing to a purchase.

How long will my HVAC system last?

Quality systems last 15-20 years with proper maintenance. Heat pumps typically run 15 years, while gas furnaces can reach 20-25 years. Air conditioners average 15-18 years. Regular filter changes, annual tune-ups, and keeping outdoor units clear of debris extend lifespan significantly. Climate matters too, systems in mild areas last longer than those running year-round in extreme heat or cold.

What's the difference between a heat pump and an air conditioner?

Air conditioners only cool your home by removing heat. Heat pumps cool AND heat by reversing the refrigeration cycle, moving heat in or out as needed. In moderate climates, heat pumps replace both your AC and furnace. They're more efficient than electric resistance heat but may need backup heat strips in regions with freezing winters. If you live where temperatures regularly drop below 25°F, consider a heat pump with gas furnace backup.

Do I need permits for HVAC installation?

Most jurisdictions require permits for HVAC replacements and all new installations. Permits ensure work meets local building codes and safety standards. Simple filter changes or thermostat replacements don't need permits, but anything involving refrigerant lines, ductwork modifications, or electrical connections usually does. We handle permit applications and inspections as part of our installation service.

What maintenance does my HVAC system need?

Change filters every 1-3 months depending on usage and filter type. Schedule professional maintenance twice yearly, once before cooling season and once before heating season. Keep outdoor units clear of leaves, grass, and debris with at least 2 feet of clearance. Clean supply and return vents regularly. Check your thermostat batteries annually. These simple steps prevent 80% of common HVAC problems and keep your system running efficiently.

How do I choose between HVAC brands?

Goodman and Amana offer reliable performance at budget-friendly prices with solid warranties. Carrier and Trane are premium brands known for durability and quiet operation. Lennox provides high-efficiency options with advanced features. Most quality brands perform similarly when properly installed and maintained. Focus on SEER rating, warranty coverage, and your budget rather than brand name alone. We stock multiple brands so you can compare features and prices for your specific needs.
