HVAC Replacement
If the old system just failed again and you're not sure it's worth another repair, we give you two prices, the repair and a replacement sized from your house, and you decide.
What a replacement includes
- AC Replacement
- Furnace Replacement
- Heat Pump Replacement
- Full System Replacement
- Ductwork Inspection
- Old Equipment Removal
Repair or Replace
You get both numbers, the repair and the replacement, and the call is yours.
Sized From the House
The square footage, insulation, windows, which way the house faces and what the ducts can carry set the size. The label on the old unit doesn't.
Ductwork First
We inspect the ducts before we order equipment. A new system on leaky ducts underperforms from the first day.
Matched Systems
When a mismatched indoor and outdoor pair is behind the poor performance, we replace them as a matched set.
Removal and Disposal
We take the old equipment away, dispose of it and leave the site clean.
Commissioned With Readings
We charge it to spec, commission it with readings and give you the paperwork.
What people usually call us about
How long should a system last here?
Usually twelve to fifteen years, and less if it spent years short cycling or running on a clogged filter. Our long, humid cooling seasons wear a system faster than a dry climate would.
Will new equipment fix my hot upstairs?
Often not on its own. Long or leaky ducts to the upstairs and a hot attic cause the same complaint, and a bigger unit won't fix either one. That's why we inspect the ducts first.
How we work
One written price for your house
You get one written price for your house. We never quote per ton or per brand. The estimate is free, and it comes by text 24 to 48 hours after the walkthrough with a link to approve it.
- If you already bought the furnace or condenser, we'll install it, and the estimate covers only our work.
- We're not part of any utility, government or low income assistance program right now, so the number you see doesn't count on a rebate.
Before you replace your system
You get sold a system you don't need yet.
We give you both prices, the repair and the replacement. A system under about ten years old that holds its refrigerant and has one failed part is usually worth repairing.
The upstairs stays hot anyway.
A bigger unit often won't fix that. We inspect the ducts before we order equipment, because a new system on leaky ducts never does what it should.
The old unit and the mess stay behind.
We take the old equipment away, dispose of it and clean up. Make sure that's in the estimate.
The install date keeps moving.
Most home changeouts take one day once the equipment is on site. We text you the date, time and address, and if the ducts need work we tell you before we schedule.
The best time to replace a system around DC
A failing system is easier to replace in April or October than in July, when schedules are full. The first freeze, around November 12, closes the fall window for a furnace. See how a replacement runs.
