Replacing your system? Size it first.
I built Hartzell’s out of Kingfisher County, and Oklahoma City has been part of my territory for years. OKC homeowners get the same Manual J load calculation and the same install standards my Kingfisher customers get.

Repair makes sense until it does not
- AgeCentral AC usually lasts 15 to 20 years, furnaces 18 to 25. Near or past that, replacement often beats repair.
- The 50% ruleA repair over half the price of a new system usually loses.
- Cracked heat exchangerA carbon monoxide risk that usually means a new furnace.
- R-22 refrigerantNo longer manufactured, so repairs on those systems keep getting more expensive.
- Repairs every seasonThe costs add up fast.
- Comfort problemsRooms too hot or cold, humidity, uneven temperatures. Often a sizing or failing-system problem.
Why sizing decides everything
The most common install mistake is the wrong size. Oversized equipment short-cycles and shuts off before it pulls the humidity out, so the house feels clammy. Undersized equipment runs constantly and never catches up. I run a Manual J load calculation on every replacement, room by room: square footage, insulation, windows, orientation.
- In-home assessmentThe existing system, ductwork, insulation and layout.
- Manual J load calculationRight-sized equipment based on the house, not the old unit.
- Two or three optionsDifferent efficiency and price points, honest pros and cons.
- Upfront installed priceComplete, before you decide.
- Install, startup, registrationAirflow verified, charge checked, thermostat set up, warranty registered from day one.

My replacement process in Oklahoma City
- 1. In-home assessmentI look at the existing system, the ductwork, the insulation and the layout of the house, and ask which rooms never feel right.
- 2. Manual J load calculationA room-by-room calculation of what the house actually needs, from square footage, insulation, windows and orientation. Not a guess from the old nameplate.
- 3. Two or three optionsEquipment at different efficiency and price points, with honest pros and cons. My main lines are Trane, RunTru by Trane and Mitsubishi, and I recommend what fits the house, not the one with the biggest margin.
- 4. Upfront price, in writingThe complete installed price before you decide anything. Ductwork, electrical or permit costs are listed separately, never sprung on you later.
- 5. Installed to spec, backed in writingNATE-certified technicians, installed to the manufacturer’s instructions, commissioned before we leave, with my 1-year parts and labor warranty and the manufacturer warranty registered the same day.

Straight answers
How long does an HVAC replacement take in Oklahoma City?
Most furnace and AC swaps are done in one day. Ductwork changes or geothermal take longer, and I give you the timeline before we start.
What size system do I need for my OKC home?
You need a Manual J load calculation, not a guess from square footage. I run one on every replacement.
Should I replace just the AC or the whole system?
If the furnace is under 10 years old and in good shape, replacing just the AC is reasonable. If both are aging, replacing together is usually more cost-effective and keeps the components matched.
Do you offer financing?
Yes, through five lenders: Synchrony with up to 18 months at 0%, Wells Fargo, Wisetack, Klarna and JB Financing. Wisetack and JB Financing check offers with a soft credit pull.
Is the replacement estimate free?
Yes. I come out, assess the house, run the Manual J and give you upfront pricing before you decide anything.
Are permits required?
In most Oklahoma jurisdictions, yes. I pull the mechanical permit as part of the job so the install gets inspected.
Does someone need to be home during the installation?
Yes, an adult homeowner or someone you authorize, for the whole install. We need the mechanical room, attic or crawlspace, and I walk you through the thermostat and filter schedule before we leave.
What happens to my old HVAC equipment?
We remove and haul it away as part of the install. The refrigerant is recovered under EPA rules before the old unit comes out.
What efficiency rating should I choose?
It depends on how long you will stay and how hard the house runs the system. Higher SEER2 and AFUE cost more up front; I lay out the options side by side so you can pick with real numbers.
