Eleven months of work out of the year
In Taney County, a new system barely gets a break. Winter nights average 27°F from December through February, and the furnace answers for it October through April, seven months a year. Summer turns it around with afternoons averaging 88°F, and the system runs the other direction June through September. Only one month goes by without either one running.
Most homes here heat with electricity, so the furnace depends on the power staying on. That matters in a county that has logged 10 winter storms and 136 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and in a state where 19% of households went at least 24 hours without power in 2024. Whatever gets installed needs to hold up to real cold, real heat, and the chance the power goes out while it is doing its job.

- When should I replace my HVAC system?
- Replace it when repairs get frequent, the unit is old, or it can no longer keep up on the coldest or hottest days. Once a furnace or air conditioner is old enough that it starts needing repairs on a regular basis, each fix is money you won't get back once it fails for good. Homes here need heat or cooling most of the year, so either one going out means real discomfort, not just inconvenience. If a contractor is quoting a major repair on an older unit, ask what replacement would run instead.
- Should I replace my furnace and air conditioner at the same time?
- If they are close in age, yes, it usually makes sense to replace both together. A furnace and air conditioner installed at the same time tend to wear out around the same time, so replacing one alone often means paying for a second installation a few years later. They also share the blower and ductwork, so matching them up can mean better performance than pairing an old unit with a new one. A contractor can look at the age and condition of both and tell you whether replacing just one makes sense for your situation.
- What happens during an HVAC installation?
- A contractor removes the old equipment, sets the new furnace or air conditioner in place, and connects it to the ductwork, gas or electrical lines, and refrigerant lines as needed. They check the ductwork for leaks or sizing problems, since a new system connected to bad ductwork will not perform the way it should. Once it is running, they test it, check refrigerant charge and airflow, and walk you through the new thermostat or controls. Most homes here heat with electricity, so a contractor will also confirm the electrical setup can handle the new equipment before finishing the job.
