Question 1

How much does a new furnace or heat pump cost in Lawton?

Accepted Answer

While every home is different, a full system replacement generally falls between $9,000 and $15,000. We provide free, detailed estimates to give you an exact figure for your home.

Question 2

When should I schedule my heating tune-up?

Accepted Answer

We recommend a Fall inspection every year before the first cold snap. This ensures your ignition system and heat exchanger are safe and ready for heavy use.

Question 3

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We provide fast, 24/7 service to Lawton, Cache, Elgin, Duncan, Walters, Geronimo, Apache, Fletcher, Marlow, Altus, and Frederick.

Question 4

When is the best time to schedule heating maintenance?

Accepted Answer

Ideally, you should schedule your heating tune-up in September or October, before you need to turn the heater on for the first time.

Question 5

Does maintenance satisfy my manufacturer's warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most major brands, including Amana and Daikin, require documented annual maintenance to keep your parts and labor warranties valid.

Question 6

Do you maintain heat pumps and mini-splits too?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Because heat pumps run year-round, they actually require even more frequent attention than a standard gas furnace.

Question 7

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

Accepted Answer

This is often caused by a dirty air filter, a refrigerant leak, or a clogged outdoor condenser unit. Turn the system off to prevent freezing, and call us immediately!

Question 8

How long does a new AC installation take?

Accepted Answer

Most replacements are completed in a single day. We arrive with a fully stocked truck to ensure your home is back to a comfortable temperature by dinnertime.

Question 9

Are you veteran-owned?

Accepted Answer

We are veteran-focused. We deeply value the military community and the discipline required to serve Lawton with integrity and honor.

Question 10

Will duct cleaning make a mess in my house?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not. Because we use negative-pressure technology, all dust is contained within our vacuum system and exhausted safely outside or through HEPA filters.

Question 11

How often should ducts be cleaned?

Accepted Answer

For most Lawton homes, we recommend a professional cleaning every 3 to 5 years, or more frequently if you have multiple pets or severe allergies.

Question 12

Does duct sealing really pay for itself?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By stopping conditioned air from leaking into your attic, most homeowners see their monthly utility bills drop by 10% to 20% immediately.

Question 13

How long do these systems last?

Accepted Answer

Most UV bulbs and cells in Remi Halo or Air Scrubber systems last between 2 to 3 years before needing a simple replacement.

Question 14

Will I notice a difference in dust?

Accepted Answer

Yes. By using ionization technology like the iWave, you will notice significantly less "floating" dust in shafts of sunlight and less buildup on your furniture.

Question 15

Is it loud?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. These systems are installed directly inside your ductwork or air handler. You won't hear them, but you will definitely smell and feel the difference.

Question 16

How do I know if I should repair or replace?

Accepted Answer

We suggest the "Rule of 5,000." Multiply the age of your unit by the cost of the repair. If the total exceeds $5,000, replacement is usually the smarter financial move.

Question 17

Does a new AC really lower my bills?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Moving from an old 10-SEER unit to a modern 16 or 18-SEER2 system can reduce your monthly cooling costs by 30% to 50%.

Question 18

Can I switch to a Ductless Mini-Split?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. If you have a room that’s always hot or a home without existing ductwork, our Daikin mini-split options are the perfect, energy-efficient solution.

Question 19

How long does a new installation take?

Accepted Answer

Typically, we can remove your old unit and have your new system running within 1 to 2 days. We work efficiently to minimize the time your home is without climate control.

Question 20

Will a new heater lower my utility bills?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Upgrading from an 80% AFUE furnace to a 96% AFUE unit means 96 cents of every dollar spent goes directly into heating your home, rather than up the vent.

Question 21

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

It’s easy! Our technicians can help you apply right from their tablet during your service call, or you can click the links on this page to apply from the comfort of your home.

Question 22

Can I pay my loan off early?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Both GoodLeap and Wells Fargo options typically allow for early repayment without penalties, giving you total control over your debt.

Question 23

What if I have "less-than-perfect" credit?

Accepted Answer

Our partners look at more than just a score. We encourage you to apply; many homeowners are surprised to find they qualify for competitive terms even with a challenging credit history.

Question 24

Do you offer free estimates?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide free estimates on major plumbing projects and system replacements.

Question 25

What are the signs I need a whole-home repipe?

Accepted Answer

If you notice frequent leaks, brown/rusty water, or a significant drop in water pressure when multiple fixtures are running, your pipes are likely reaching the end of their lifespan.

Question 26

Do you handle small commercial plumbing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We service retail shops, restaurants, and churches (up to 10,000 sq. ft.) across the Lawton area.

Question 27

How do I know if I need a new water heater?

Accepted Answer

If your unit is over 10 years old, making "popping" sounds (sediment buildup), or showing signs of rust on the tank, it is a "ticking time bomb." Replacing it now prevents a costly emergency flood later.

Question 28

Can I switch from a tank to a tankless system?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. While it requires some modification to your gas and vent lines, our team can perform a "tank-to-tankless" conversion in a single day.

Question 29

Is financing available?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer flexible financing through GoodLeap and Wells Fargo to help you fit a high-quality water heater into your monthly budget.

Question 30

Should I repair or replace my water heater?

Accepted Answer

If your unit is over 10 years old and the tank is leaking, replacement is usually the safer financial choice. If it is a minor component like a heating element or thermocouple, a repair is a great way to extend the unit's life.

Question 31

How long does a typical repair take?

Accepted Answer

Most common repairs—like swapping a thermostat or flushing a tank—can be completed in 60 to 90 minutes. We carry a wide variety of parts on our trucks to get your hot water back on the same day.

Question 32

What causes the "rotten egg" smell in my hot water?

Accepted Answer

This is often a chemical reaction between the minerals in Lawton water and a standard anode rod. We can solve this by installing a specialized "powered" or zinc anode rod.

Question 33

How often should I flush my water heater?

Accepted Answer

In Lawton, we recommend a professional flush once a year. If you have a large family or very high water usage, every six months may be necessary to prevent "popping" noises.

Question 34

Does maintenance protect my warranty?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Manufacturers like Bradford White and Rinnai require documented professional maintenance to keep your long-term parts and labor warranties active.

Question 35

Can I flush it myself?

Accepted Answer

While some homeowners try a "DIY" flush, a professional Patriot flush includes a safety audit of the gas valves, pressure relief systems, and internal components that a standard garden hose drain-down misses.

Question 36

How long does a repipe take?

Accepted Answer

Most Lawton homes can be fully repiped in 3 to 5 days. We prioritize keeping your water active as much as possible so your daily routine isn't disrupted.

Question 37

Do I have to move out during the process?

Accepted Answer

No. We work room by room and ensure you have functional water at the end of each day.

Question 38

Will this increase my water pressure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. By removing the "clogged arteries" of your old pipes and replacing them with smooth, modern lines, you will notice a significant boost in pressure at every fixture.

Question 39

Do you offer design-build services?

Accepted Answer

Yes. If you have the floor plans, we can design a plumbing layout that maximizes efficiency and minimizes material waste, saving you money during the build.

Question 40

Can you integrate my HVAC and plumbing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Because we are a full-service mechanical and plumbing contractor, we can handle both your AC/heating and your plumbing needs. This reduces the number of contractors on-site and ensures your systems don't "compete" for space in the attic or crawlspace.

Question 41

What kind of warranty do you provide on new builds?

Accepted Answer

In addition to manufacturer warranties on fixtures and water heaters, we stand behind our craftsmanship with a comprehensive one-year labor warranty on all new installations.

Question 42

How long does it take to find a leak?

Accepted Answer

Most leaks can be pinpointed within 60 to 90 minutes using our electronic equipment.

Question 43

Will you have to break my floor to find the leak?

Accepted Answer

No. Our goal is non-invasive detection. We only suggest opening a wall or floor once we have pinpointed the exact location, ensuring the footprint of the repair is as small as possible.

Question 44

Does insurance cover leak detection?

Accepted Answer

In many cases, homeowners' insurance will cover the "access and repair" of a leak, though they may not cover the pipe itself. We can provide the professional documentation and photos your adjuster needs to process your claim.

Question 45

Do I need a permit for a plumbing installation?

Accepted Answer

For major work like a repipe, new sewer line, or water heater replacement, the City of Lawton generally requires a permit. We handle the permitting process for you to ensure everything is legal and documented.

Question 46

What is the benefit of a "Whole-Home Repipe"?

Accepted Answer

Older pipes accumulate "scale" and corrosion. A repipe eliminates the risk of hidden leaks, prevents water damage to your foundation, and restores the water pressure you’ve been missing.

Question 47

Why shouldn't I use liquid drain cleaners from the store?

Accepted Answer

Most "liquid gold" cleaners contain caustic chemicals that generate heat. This heat can soften PVC pipes or corrode older metal lines, leading to expensive leaks and collapsed pipes.

Question 48

What causes mainline clogs in Lawton?

Accepted Answer

In our area, tree roots seeking moisture are a common culprit. Grease, "flushable" wipes (which aren't actually flushable), and shifting Oklahoma soil are also frequent causes.

Question 49

How long does a typical drain cleaning take?

Accepted Answer

Most standard clogs are cleared within 45 to 90 minutes. For main sewer lines or hydro-jetting jobs, it may take slightly longer to ensure a 100% clean result.

Question 50

How long does a sewer replacement take?

Accepted Answer

Most residential sewer replacements can be completed in 1 to 3 days, depending on the depth and length of the line.

Question 51

Will my homeowner's insurance cover this?

Accepted Answer

Standard policies often don't cover sewer lines unless you have a specific "service line" endorsement. However, we can provide the documentation and video evidence your insurance company needs to review your claim.

Question 52

Can I prevent tree roots from returning?

Accepted Answer

By replacing your old joints with modern, chemically welded PVC, we create a sealed system that is virtually impenetrable by roots.

Question 53

Do you pump septic tanks?

Accepted Answer

No. We are plumbing and HVAC specialists. We handle the pipes and connections leading to the tank. For pumping or tank manufacturing, we recommend partnering with a dedicated septic pumper.

Question 54

Can you find a leak in my septic line?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We use sewer camera technology to travel down the line and find exactly where the break or blockage is located, saving you from unnecessary digging in your yard.

Question 55

Does a septic connection require a permit?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Most new connections or major repairs require an inspection from the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) or local building officials. We handle the paperwork and inspections for you.

Question 56

How quickly can you get to Duncan or Altus?

Accepted Answer

We pride ourselves on rapid response. Because our technicians live throughout Southwest Oklahoma, we can often provide same-day service even in our furthest service locations.

Question 57

Are you licensed to work in all these municipalities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Patriot Air Solutions is fully licensed, bonded, and insured to perform HVAC and plumbing work across all of Comanche, Stephens, Jackson, and Tillman counties.

Question 58

Do you offer commercial service in these areas?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We provide high-quality mechanical and plumbing solutions for small businesses, churches, and retail spaces throughout our entire service footprint.

Question 59

Why is my water heater making a popping sound?

Accepted Answer

Lawton’s water has high mineral content. That popping sound is sediment "boiling" at the bottom of your tank. A professional Patriot Water Heater Flush can solve this and extend your unit's life.

Question 60

Do you offer financing for Lawton residents?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer flexible payment plans through GoodLeap and Wells Fargo to make major AC or plumbing replacements affordable for every budget.

Question 61

What is the best AC filter for Oklahoma dust?

Accepted Answer

In Lawton, we recommend a high-quality pleated filter, but for true relief, we suggest an Air Scrubber. It actively neutralizes the red dust and dander before it settles on your furniture.

Question 62

My AC unit seems to get dirtier here than in town. Why?

Accepted Answer

The open terrain in Cache allows more dust and debris to blow into your outdoor condenser. This is why we recommend semi-annual cleaning for Cache residents to prevent the unit from overheating and burning out the motor.

Question 63

Do you service homes on the north side near the mountains?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We cover the entire 73527 zip code and the surrounding rural areas. No property is too far for a Patriot mission.

Question 64

Can you help with my new construction project in Cache?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. We are specialists in new construction plumbing and HVAC design-builds for custom homes in the Cache area.
