A Van Buren, AR Family’s New Trane HVAC System, Installed by Paschal’s Fort Smith Team

Stories

July 21, 2026

When a Van Buren, Arkansas family was ready to replace their heating and cooling system, Paschal’s Fort Smith team installed a complete new Trane system in a single day, a 4-ton air conditioner, a gas furnace, and a matching coil, and the homeowner left a five-star review for the install crew.

A Van Buren homeowner had Paschal’s Fort Smith team install a brand-new Trane HVAC system, a new 4-ton XR-series air conditioner outside, plus a new gas furnace and coil. Lead technician Colton and his assistant Bryson handled the installation, and the homeowner, Jan Love, left a five-star review calling it an easy installation and saying Paschal is now her go-to. A new HVAC system replacement with Paschal starts at $7,999 this summer, and the final cost can vary depending on the size of your home.

Project at a Glance

  • Location: Van Buren, AR (Fort Smith area)
  • Work performed: Full HVAC system installation, air conditioner, gas furnace, and coil
  • System installed: 4-ton Trane XR-series air conditioner, Trane gas furnace (model S8X1B080M4PSCCA, 80,000 BTU, 80% efficiency, single-stage with an ECM blower motor), and a matching Trane coil
  • Crew: Paschal Fort Smith install team, lead technician Colton with assistant Bryson Reppo
  • Timeline: Completed in one day, May 13, 2026

The Challenge

Replacing a whole heating and cooling system is more than swapping out a box. The new equipment has to be the right size for the home, and the air conditioner, furnace, and coil all need to work together as a matched set. On top of that, the refrigerant lines, ductwork, electrical, and venting all have to be set up correctly so the new system runs efficiently from day one.

For this Van Buren home, the goal was a clean, complete installation, new outdoor unit, new furnace and coil, and the connections to tie it all together, done in a single day with as little disruption as possible.

What the project needed to address:

  • Install a correctly sized 4-ton Trane system for the home
  • Set the new outdoor condenser, gas furnace, and coil
  • Connect the refrigerant line set, ductwork, electrical, and venting
  • Confirm the system was running and cooling before the crew left

Our Solution

Paschal’s Fort Smith install crew handled the project from start to finish. Lead technician Colton and his assistant Bryson installed the new outdoor air conditioner, set the new gas furnace and coil, and ran the new line set, ductwork, and electrical connections.

The homeowner’s review captured the experience well: she described Colton as excellent and personable, noted how he mentored his assistant Bryson, and said the two of them made it an easy installation. The whole system was installed in a single day.

Equipment and Work Installed

  • New 4-ton Trane XR-series outdoor air conditioner
  • New Trane gas furnace (model S8X1B080M4PSCCA, 80,000 BTU, 80% efficiency, single-stage, ECM blower motor)
  • New matching Trane coil
  • New refrigerant line set, ductwork connections, and electrical hookup
  • New furnace venting

The home’s new system is Trane equipment, a 4-ton air conditioner matched to a new gas furnace and coil. You can read more about Trane equipment on the manufacturer’s site at trane.com. Matching the air conditioner, furnace, and coil as a set, and sizing them correctly for the home, is what lets a new system run efficiently and reliably for years.

Cost

Across the broader Arkansas market, full system replacements generally run from about $6,500 to $15,000, with a typical project near $11,250, depending on the size and efficiency of the system and the work involved. Paschal’s replacement units start at $7,999 this summer, though the final cost can vary depending on the size of your home.

What moves the price is the size of the system your home needs, the efficiency level you choose, and whether any ductwork, electrical, or venting work is required. We never publish what an individual customer paid, but we always give you an upfront price before any work starts, and financing options are available.

What the Customer Said

“Colton is excellent at his job and very personable. His assistant Bryson will make a great technician as he grows. He highly respects Colton and his abilities and was very clear about that. The two of them made this an easy installation. Pascal is now my go to.”

Why This Matters for Van Buren and Fort Smith

In Arkansas, an air conditioner works hard through a long, hot cooling season, and a furnace earns its keep in winter. When a system is near the end of its life, replacing it on your schedule, instead of after an unexpected breakdown, means you choose the equipment, take advantage of financing, and avoid being stuck without heating or cooling.

It also pays to replace the system as a matched set with a local team that handles the install start to finish. Sizing the equipment correctly and tying the air conditioner, furnace, and coil together is what delivers reliable comfort for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does a new HVAC system cost near Fort Smith, AR?

Across the area, full system replacements generally run from about $6,500 to $15,000 depending on system size, efficiency, and the work involved. Paschal’s replacement units start at $7,999 this summer, though the final cost can vary with the size of your home. Paschal gives you an upfront price before any work begins and offers financing options.

How long does a full HVAC system installation take?

Many residential system installations are completed in a single day. This Van Buren install included a new Trane air conditioner, a new gas furnace, and a new coil, handled by Paschal’s Fort Smith install crew.

Why install a matched system instead of replacing just one piece?

Installing the air conditioner, furnace, and coil together as a matched, correctly sized set is what lets a system run efficiently and reliably. Pairing a brand-new unit with old, mismatched parts can hurt performance, comfort, and lifespan.
