HVAC Installation in Knoxville, Tennessee
Capacity is crucial for new HVAC units. Many people underestimate the size of their spaces and end up with a system that does not offer sufficient cooling or heating. To avoid this issue, consider the British Thermal Units (BTUs) your new HVAC unit must provide. Essentially, BTUs indicate the amount of heating and cooling power a unit possesses. The larger your space, the more BTUs you will need. Additionally, your windows, ductwork, and insulation will factor into the BTUs your new unit should deliver.
What Are SEER2 Ratings and Why DoThey Matter?
When shopping for an air conditioner, look for a system with the highest seasonal energy efficiency ratio rating (SEER2) rating for the price. This number will indicate how efficiently a unit will perform throughout the year. We are Trane-certified dealers and have access to systems with SEER2 ratings that range from 13.4 to 21.5. This means we are the company to call an affordable new air conditioner that can cut your energy costs from month to month.
What Does AFUE Stand For?
If you want to upgrade your heating system, install a heater with a high AFUE rating. “AFUE” stands for annual fuel utilization efficiency. An AFUE rating describes what percentage of fuel a unit can use when creating heat. The units we can install as Trane-certified dealers have AFUE ratings considered “high-efficiency” by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) standards.
What about electric furnaces? According to the U.S. DOE, they have AFUE ratings between 95% and 100%, as they generally can convert almost all their electricity into heat.
MERV Ratings and Air Filters
A “MERV” (minimum efficiency reporting value) rating describes how effectively a filter removes particles from the air. These ratings range from 1-16, with higher ratings meaning better filtration.
It is important to note that high MERV rating filters make it difficult for HVAC units to pull or push air through them. When choosing filters for a new HVAC unit, consider your goals for indoor air quality alongside those for energy efficiency.
Commonly Asked Questions

Regular maintenance is essential for the longevity and efficiency of your HVAC system. It's recommended to schedule professional maintenance at least once a year, ideally before the start of each heating and cooling season.
