Understanding Lincoln’s HVAC Needs

Lincoln, Nebraska, experiences one of the widest annual temperature ranges in the United States. Summer temperatures regularly exceed 95°F with high humidity, while winter temperatures frequently drop below 0°F with dangerous wind chills.

Bill’s understands these local conditions intimately. We recommend equipment specifically sized and configured for Nebraska’s climate. We know which systems handle Lincoln’s temperature swings best, which brands hold up longest in our conditions, and which efficiency ratings make the most financial sense for local utility rates.

AC repair costs vary depending on the specific problem. A typical AC Repair, including service fee, costs $500 to $ 900, while major repairs like compressor replacement can cost $1,200-$2,500. We always provide upfront pricing before beginning any work—no surprises.

Do you offer financing for HVAC installation?

Yes! Bill’s offers flexible financing options on new HVAC installations and major system replacements. We work with several lending partners to provide competitive rates and terms that fit your budget. Ask about current American Standard promotions and financing options when you call for a free estimate.

What brands of HVAC equipment do you install and service?

We’re an authorized American Standard dealer and primarily install American Standard HVAC systems, known for their reliability and efficiency. However, our technicians are trained to service all major brands, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Bryant, Goodman, York, Amana, and more.

How often should I replace my furnace filter?

In Lincoln’s climate, we recommend checking your furnace filter monthly and replacing it every 1-3 months, depending on filter type and usage. During peak heating and cooling seasons (summer and winter), filters work harder and need more frequent replacement. Homes with pets or allergies may need even more frequent changes.

Is it better to repair or replace my old HVAC system?

If your system is over 15 years old, requires frequent repairs, or has repair costs exceeding 50% of replacement cost, replacement is usually the better investment. Newer systems are significantly more efficient and can reduce energy costs by 20-40%. We’ll provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.

Do you offer maintenance plans?

Absolutely! Our HVAC maintenance plans include bi-annual service visits (spring AC tune-up and fall furnace inspection), priority service, discounted trip fees and services, free filters, and 90-day parts and labor guarantees. Regular maintenance prevents 90% of HVAC breakdowns and extends system life by 5-10 years. Contact us to learn about our maintenance plan options.
