Heating Installation in Bay Minette — FAQs

• How much does a new heating system cost installed in Baldwin County?

  Heat pump replacements (which double as your AC) typically run $7,500 to $14,000 installed depending on capacity, efficiency tier, and any ductwork modifications. Standalone gas furnace replacements run $4,500 to $9,000 (less if you're keeping the existing AC). Manufactured home heating systems start around $3,500. Air Solutions provides a written load calculation, AHRI match documentation, and itemized pricing — no salesperson math, no surprise add-ons. Cool Club members receive 5% off new system installations.
• Heat pump vs. gas furnace — which makes sense in Baldwin County?

  For most homes, heat pumps win. Baldwin County is Climate Zone 2A: a properly-sized heat pump runs efficiently in our winter conditions, delivers 2-3 units of heat per unit of electricity consumed, and pulls double duty as the air conditioner all summer. Gas still pencils when natural gas is already at the meter and the home has a heavier-than-typical heating load — common for older inland houses with poor insulation. If you don't already have gas service, the cost of running a new line plus a gas furnace plus a separate AC almost always exceeds the cost of a single high-efficiency heat pump installation.
• What size heating system do I need for my home?

  Right-sized — not bigger. Baldwin County's mild winters mean an oversized heating system short-cycles, wastes electricity, and wears out faster. Air Solutions runs a Manual J load calculation that accounts for square footage, insulation quality, window orientation, ceiling height, ductwork condition, and the actual design heating temperature for your zip code. The result is usually smaller than the system being replaced — and cheaper to operate. Oversizing is the most common mistake we see on heating installs in Baldwin County, and it shows up as humidity complaints in summer, not warmth in winter.
