TA Family-Owned HVAC Company in Atlee, VA

Lowering heating and cooling costs often comes down to the efficiency of your system. Scheduling regular HVAC tune-ups keeps your system clean and working properly, which reduces wasted energy. Simple home improvements, like sealing air leaks around doors and windows, adding attic insulation, and keeping vents unblocked, can also make a big impact. 

For bigger savings, many Atlee homeowners choose to upgrade to a high-efficiency furnace, air conditioner, or heat pump. Pairing these upgrades with a programmable or smart thermostat can help you maintain comfort while cutting down monthly utility bills.

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends 78°F in summer when you’re home and need cooling, and 68°F in winter when you need heat. These settings provide a good balance of comfort and efficiency. When you’re away or asleep, adjusting your thermostat by 7–10 degrees for about 8 hours a day can save as much as 10% a year on energy costs.

Your ductwork is essential for moving air throughout your home, and problems can cause higher bills and uneven comfort. Warning signs include rooms that are too hot or too cold compared to others, visible gaps or damage in your ducts, loud noises when the HVAC system is running, or dust and allergens spreading around the house.

Rising utility bills can also be a clue that your ducts are leaking air. A professional inspection can determine whether your ductwork only needs sealing and repair or if full replacement is the best option for efficiency and indoor air quality.

The price of a new HVAC system can vary widely, typically ranging from $5,000 to $12,000 or more, depending on the size of your home, the type of system (furnace, AC, or heat pump), and the efficiency level you choose. Additional factors like ductwork, zoning systems, or smart thermostats can also affect total cost.

While it’s an investment, many Virginia homeowners save money long-term thanks to lower utility bills and fewer repairs. West End Heating & Air offers financing options through EnerBankUSA, which helps make new systems more affordable with flexible monthly payments.

Most standard HVAC replacements can be completed in a single day, meaning you’ll have heat or cooling back in your home quickly. More complex jobs that involve ductwork redesign, multiple system zones, or larger equipment may take two to three days.
