Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?

The best answer depends on the system’s condition, repair history, comfort performance, available parts, and your plans for the home. The estimate flow captures those details so the follow-up can start with the relevant context.

Do I have to call to request an estimate?

No. The estimate path is designed for homeowners who prefer to share the basics first. Calling remains available when a conversation is the better fit.

Are financing and rebates guaranteed?

No. Financing, incentives, and rebates depend on provider terms, eligibility, equipment, timing, and program availability. This staged site does not present amounts or approval claims until they are verified.

What should I do if I smell gas?

Leave the area, avoid operating electrical switches or ignition sources, and contact the gas utility or emergency services from a safe location. Do not use this form for a gas emergency.

What HVAC details should I share when I request service?

Describe the symptom, equipment type when known, rooms affected, timing, ZIP code, and preferred contact method. That context helps the next conversation begin with the right questions.

Can Furnace Exchange guarantee an Indiana energy rebate or a heat-pump savings amount?

No. Program availability, income and project eligibility, equipment requirements, contractor requirements, and timing can change. Review the official program guidance and confirm current details before making a purchase decision.

A better conversation

Repair or replace? Start with the economics and comfort—not a scripted answer.

Every HVAC system has a context: condition, repair history, efficiency, home comfort, available parts, and your plans for the home. The site directs each visitor to a response path based on that context.
