Question 1

How much does HVAC installation cost in Houston?

Accepted Answer

HVAC installation costs in Houston vary based on system size, efficiency rating, and home square footage. Central AC installation typically ranges from $3,500-$7,500 for standard efficiency systems, $7,500-$12,000 for high-efficiency units, and furnace installation ranges from $2,500-$6,000. Tell Projects provides detailed estimates including equipment, labor, duct modifications if needed, thermostat installation, permits and inspections, and warranty coverage. We help you choose the right system size and efficiency rating for your home and budget, ensuring optimal comfort and energy savings.

Question 2

How often should I service my HVAC system in Houston?

Accepted Answer

Houston's hot, humid climate requires HVAC maintenance twice yearly - once before cooling season (spring) and once before heating season (fall). Tell Projects' maintenance service includes inspecting and cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing electrical connections, replacing air filters, lubricating moving parts, checking thermostat calibration, inspecting duct work for leaks, and testing system performance. Regular maintenance extends equipment life, improves energy efficiency, prevents costly breakdowns, maintains manufacturer warranties, and ensures optimal indoor air quality. Our maintenance plans provide priority service and discounted repairs.

Question 3

What size HVAC system do I need for my Houston home?

Accepted Answer

Proper HVAC sizing requires professional load calculation considering home square footage, ceiling height, insulation quality, window size and orientation, number of occupants, climate zone, and heat-generating appliances. Houston's climate requires careful sizing - oversized systems cycle frequently causing humidity problems, while undersized systems run constantly struggling to maintain temperature. Tell Projects performs detailed Manual J load calculations to determine the correct tonnage for your home. Most Houston homes require 1 ton per 400-600 square feet, but proper sizing accounts for your home's specific characteristics ensuring optimal comfort and efficiency.

Question 4

Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?

Accepted Answer

Consider replacing your HVAC system if it's over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant (no longer manufactured), has significantly increased utility bills, or can't maintain comfortable temperatures. Repair makes sense if the system is under 10 years old, repair cost is less than 50% of replacement cost, or only one component needs repair. Tell Projects provides honest recommendations based on your system's condition, repair costs versus replacement, energy efficiency improvements with new systems, available rebates and financing, and your long-term plans. We help you make cost-effective decisions for your specific situation.
