Frequently Asked Questions About HVAC Services in Hurdle Mills
Common questions from Hurdle Mills homeowners about hvac services
Do you service Hurdle Mills and southern Person County?
Yes, we provide full HVAC service to Hurdle Mills and the surrounding communities in southern Person County. Whether you're in an older farmhouse or a newer home on acreage, we understand the unique needs of rural properties in this area.
What HVAC system is best for an old farmhouse near Hurdle Mills?
For older Person County farmhouses, we typically recommend a high-efficiency heat pump system paired with duct sealing and insulation improvements. Many of these homes have aging ductwork in unconditioned crawl spaces that leaks 30-40% of conditioned air. Addressing the ductwork along with the equipment upgrade makes a dramatic difference in comfort and energy costs.
Can a heat pump handle the winter cold in Hurdle Mills?
Modern cold-climate heat pumps work efficiently well below freezing, making them ideal for the Hurdle Mills area. Person County's Piedmont climate rarely sees extended periods below 20 degrees, which is well within the range of today's heat pump technology. For the coldest nights, a heat pump with electric backup provides reliable warmth without the cost of oil or propane.
How can I improve comfort in my Hurdle Mills manufactured home?
Manufactured homes in the Hurdle Mills area commonly suffer from poor ductwork under the belly board, minimal wall insulation, and aging single-speed HVAC systems. We recommend a comprehensive approach: sealing and insulating ductwork, upgrading to a properly sized high-efficiency heat pump, and improving ventilation. These upgrades can dramatically improve comfort and reduce energy bills.
Are there energy rebates for Hurdle Mills homeowners?
Yes, Duke Energy Progress rebates are available for qualifying equipment upgrades in the Hurdle Mills area. Federal tax credits of up to $2,000 for heat pump installations also apply. For homeowners upgrading from electric resistance heating or old oil systems, the combination of lower operating costs and available incentives makes the investment very attractive.
Why is my home near Hurdle Mills so dusty even with the HVAC running?
Rural Person County homes often deal with dust from unpaved roads, agricultural activity, and the region's red clay soils. If your ductwork has leaks, especially in a crawl space, the system can pull dusty air directly into your home. We recommend duct sealing, upgrading to a higher-MERV filter, and potentially adding whole-home air purification to address persistent dust issues.
