Decades of serving Upstate families
Rush Heating & Cooling has been family-owned and operated in Greenwood, SC, for over 75+ years. Paul Rush Jr. wanted to work hard to support his family and make his living by providing comfort solutions to Greenwood residents.
This tradition of providing quality service and products was passed down to his oldest son. Chip, along with his wife Kristi, brother Ted, daughter Kayla, son-in-law Erik, and a great team of others, continue to grow this business in Greenwood and the surrounding areas. Although family-owned and operated, we offer the same products and services as our competitors, just with that family feeling.

When picking out the right heating system for your home, you must consider many different factors. The size and dimensions of your house will figure into the equation, as will what types of fuel sources are available to you, what type of system you had in place before, and what your family’s particular heating needs are.
If you’ve been looking at various types of furnaces, you’ve probably noticed that they all have an AFUE rating. This number reflects the furnace’s energy efficiency and will typically be between 80% and 98%. The higher the number, the more energy-efficient the furnace.
Although you should always consider the AFUE rating when purchasing a furnace, you don’t necessarily have to go with the model with the highest efficiency rating. Depending on your heating needs, an 80% AFUE furnace may be able to get the job done just fine without forcing you to incur the greater costs that come with the higher-efficiency models.
The amount of time you can expect your heating system to last will depend on what type of system it is. In general, though, it’s safe to say that a new heating system you purchase today will last you 10 to 15 years. Some types of systems, like electric furnaces, can be expected to last a bit longer, but that will largely depend on the type and model of your system. In any case, keeping up with regular maintenance is one way to extend the life of your home heating system.
We can perform maintenance and repair services on just about any type of heating system. No matter who installed your existing system or how old it is, we’ll happily take care of it for you.
If you have to call for repairs for your current system repeatedly, it probably doesn’t have many good years left. And even if the repairs are relatively minor, they still cost you money every time someone comes out.
The lifespan of a good system to remain energy-efficient is around 10 to 15 years, so if problems are continuously coming up or your electric bill is always high when it’s running, you should consider replacing it with a modern energy-efficient model.
While the life expectancy of a new air conditioning system can vary greatly from one brand and model to another, most new systems being installed these days can be expected to last from 10 to 15 years. However, this will still depend on how much you use your system and how well you maintain it over the years. In fact, some air conditioners that receive proper maintenance can even exceed their projected lifespan by several years.
Like most other large pieces of equipment, your air conditioning system requires a tune-up every now and then. This will help keep it working at peak capacity and reduce the chances of losing significant energy efficiency over time.
The air conditioning professional who carries out your annual maintenance visit will also be able to check your system thoroughly for any defects or damages. They will also often be able to catch problems before they get out of hand and can greatly reduce the chances that you’ll need emergency repairs later on.
Ductless split and mini split air conditioners are made up of two parts, much like a conventional air conditioning system. However, the outdoor compressor and indoor wall-mounted units are connected only by a refrigerant line rather than the more traditional ductwork. That means that mini-split systems are much easier to install in places that don’t already have ductwork or where it wouldn’t be practical to try and fit ducts in.
Quite possibly. Ductless splits are a good option for many people, particularly those who don’t already have ducts in place. You may also want to look into a mini-split system if you’ve recently added an addition to your home and don’t want to pay to extend the ducts from the rest of your house into the addition.
We offer our customers various financing options so they can get the services they need without worrying about breaking the bank. Come and learn more about what we have to offer!
