HVAC Replacement FAQ
Common Questions
What size HVAC system does my home need?
System size is measured in tons. Most North Texas homes need 3-5 tons depending on square footage, insulation, window count, and sun exposure. A proper load calculation (Manual J) should be done.
What SEER rating should I look for?
The minimum SEER2 rating for new systems in Texas is 15. Higher SEER ratings (16-20+) cost more upfront but save on monthly energy bills. Most homeowners find 16 SEER to be the sweet spot.
Should I replace both the indoor and outdoor units at the same time?
Yes, in most cases. Mismatched systems run less efficiently, may void warranties, and can cause premature failure. Manufacturers design indoor and outdoor units to work as matched pairs.
Do I need to replace my ductwork when I replace my HVAC?
Not always, but if your ductwork is old, leaking, or undersized for the new system, replacing it will significantly improve performance and efficiency.
What brand is best?
Trane, Carrier, Lennox, and Rheem are all reputable brands common in North Texas. The quality of the installation matters more than the brand — choose a licensed, experienced installer.

Process & Timeline
How long does a full HVAC replacement take?
A standard residential HVAC replacement in North Texas typically takes 1-2 days. Complex installations with ductwork modifications may take longer.
How long should an HVAC system last?
In North Texas, most AC systems last 12-17 years and furnaces last 15-20 years. The extreme summer heat puts more wear on cooling systems compared to milder climates.
