What exactly is a residential HVAC system?
The heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit in a home plays a vital role in maintaining a comfortable temperature year-round, alongside constantly circulating fresh air. Despite the variety of HVAC systems available, all operate based on a similar principle: they intake fresh air which is then heated or cooled to the desired temperature using a mechanical ventilation system. They are also capable of managing humidity levels and enhancing air quality through air cleaners designed to seize bacteria, spores, and particles of virus size. A HVAC technician can provide valuable advice on the most suitable system and options to meet your specific home requirements.
When do you need to consider a HVAC replacement for your home?
An HVAC unit generally has a lifespan of approximately 15 to 25 years during which it progressively grows less efficient and more prone to costly repairs due to age-induced wear and tear. Indicators that the unit may need replacement include advanced age, high energy bills, expensive repairs, fluctuations in temperature, unusual noise, and excessive dust accumulation. In the event of uncertainty about the need for a unit replacement, it would be beneficial to have a technician from Excel Mechanical Solutions assess the condition of the unit.
Replacing an HVAC system is a highly skilled task that necessitates an expert, ideally from a top-tier HVAC company like Excel Mechanical Solutions. An improper installation of a new HVAC system could result in expensive fixes or potential harm.
What size of a HVAC system will you need?
An improperly sized HVAC unit can lead to overworking of the unit, consequently reducing its lifespan. The size of an HVAC unit required largely depends on the square footage of your home, with larger spaces needing larger units for effective heating and cooling. The size of AC units is often calculated in tons, with most units falling between 1.5 and 3.5 tons. Meanwhile, the capacity of a furnace is measured in British thermal units (BTUs). One BTU is equal to the heat of one match. This generally ranges from 40,000 to 60,000 BTUs for homes between 800 to 1,200 square feet. Larger homes, above 2,500 square feet, require furnace capacity up to 140,000 BTUs.
What are the factors for the price of installation?
HVAC systems typically include both indoor and outdoor components; the furnace is usually installed inside the home, while the AC unit is placed outside. Installation costs can rise if there are no suitable locations to install one or both components.
The age of a house can influence the expenses associated with installing a new HVAC system. Older homes might not be as well-sealed as newer constructions, potentially requiring larger units to effectively manage heating and cooling. Improving the home’s sealing by addressing areas where cold air enters and warm air escapes can significantly enhance heating efficiency. Moreover, if the space designated for the HVAC installation is cramped or difficult to access, this can contribute to higher project costs.
Additionally, the climate of a home’s geographic location plays a significant role in the overall cost of replacing an HVAC system. For instance, in warmer climates like metro Atlanta, a higher BTU output is necessary for cooling, affecting the overall expense.
What are some addons to consider?
When estimating the costs for replacing an HVAC system, various other cost components and considerations should be taken into account. These potential additional costs could include modifications to the ductwork, creating zones, adding insulation or a thermostat, further upgrades and add-ons, replacing the furnace and air conditioner, asbestos removal, as well as installing whole-house air purifiers, dehumidifiers for the Spring and Summer months and humidifiers for Winter.
While insulation usually isn’t a standard part of HVAC unit installation, it can prove beneficial for those residing in older, draft-prone homes. As well, insulating the HVAC ductwork can improve operational efficiency and result in savings on energy bills. It can also prevent condensation which can lead to mold and mildew in the long run.

When should I call a professional?
Some common signs that your HVAC system is in need of replacement include:
- Older units: Heating and air conditioning systems generally last 15-25 years. During which it progressively grows less efficient and more prone to costly repairs due to age-induced wear and tear
- High energy bills: If you notice a sudden rise in your energy bills without a corresponding increase in usage, it could indicate that your HVAC system is working too hard to maintain cool temperatures in the summer, or warm temperatures in the windter.
- Unusual noises: Banging, clanking, grinding, or squeaking sounds from your HVAC unit could signal serious problems, potentially beyond basic repairs.
- Uneven temperatures: Hot or cold spots in your home may suggest your HVAC system is leaking air or operating inefficiently.
- Short cycling: If your system frequently turns on and off, it could be overheating or struggling to maintain the set temperature.
- Frequent repairs: If your heater or air conditioner requires constant repairs, replacing it with a more efficient model could save you both repair costs and energy bills. We offer many options that are ready to install.

FAQs
Residential HVAC Repairs around metro Atlanta area
How much does it cost to get an estimate on a new heating unit, air conditioning unit, or both?
No cost. Scheduling an appointment for an evaluation of your existing systems and recommendations on new system options won’t cost you a cent.
How much is a maintenance contract?
We offer annual maintenance contracts for residential HVAC units. These contracts include two visits a year, tune-ups, drain clearances, and air filter changes, all for just $189/year. Additionally, this contract includes a 10% discount on parts and service calls.
How long will it take to replace my air conditioning and/or heating system?
Most residential units are replaced in less than a day, and typically within 4 – 6 hours.
Why are air conditioning and heater tune-ups important?
A tune-up is a maintenance visit from a professional HVAC technician from Excel Mechanical Solutions designed to prepare your system for seasonal changes. It is essential to schedule an AC tune-up in the spring and a heating tune-up for your furnace in the fall, before temperatures change. During the tune-up, the technician will perform necessary repairs and verify that your air conditioning or heating systems are functioning properly, ready to handle the demands of summer or winter. A tune-up ensures your HVAC is operating efficiently.
Regular air conditioning and heating tune-ups not only promote efficient operation but can also extend the lifespan of your system. By committing to two maintenance visits each year, you can ensure your air conditioner and furnace perform at their peak throughout the year, which is crucial since your furnace blower operates year-round to circulate air in your home. Moreover, the technician can identify and address potential issues before they escalate into significant problems.
Maintaining your system not only helps you avoid expensive air conditioning and heater repairs but also ensures that your energy bills remain as low as possible. By taking care of your equipment, you can extend its lifespan and keep it operating at peak efficiency throughout its service life.
