HVAC FAQs

There are several common HVAC problems our customers encounter. Lack of maintenance can lead to a range of deeper issues. Pilot or ignition problems, thermostat malfunctions, mechanical wear and tear, strange noises coming from the unit, blown fuses, and evaporated coils are some of the most common reasons behind the need for HVAC repair services.

HVAC systems work tirelessly to maintain the proper air temperature in your home. Wear and tear are to be expected as they run for long periods of time. Therefore, they need to be serviced regularly. Scheduling HVAC maintenance services twice a year is recommended to keep your unit running to its full potential.

The size of your home, insulation, window surface, configuration, and geographic location of your home all play a part in determining which HVAC system will best suit your needs. Our experts can help you figure out what your most effective HVAC solution will be.

If you’re scheduling HVAC repair services frequently, it is probably time to have a new unit installed. Once your unit is 15 years old, it cannot be continuously cool or heat your home as effectively, costing you a fortune in repairs and utility bills.

When deciding on a reliable HVAC service company, it is vital to ensure that the company is licensed and experienced. Find a company that provides home evaluations, so you get comprehensive service. Be sure to read reviews to ensure they are credible and dependable.

Regular maintenance is crucial to preserve the function and longevity of your heating and air conditioning unit. Having your unit serviced by professionals ensures everything is working adequately. Our professionals can check your filters, coils, wiring, housing, motor, and more to ensure your unit is not on track for expensive repairs or complete failure.

If an unusual sound comes from your heater or air conditioner, you should schedule HVAC repair services to assess the situation, as it is not normal for your unit to be making strange noises. These noises usually indicate a malfunction and should be serviced immediately to prevent further damage.

Standard filters work but do not improve air quality. We recommend a media air cleaner; the media filter improves dust and particle removal, or a pleated media filter which removes everything from dust to airborne viruses from the filtered air. You should change your disposable filters once a month; if they’re washable, they should also be cleaned monthly.

If your system is not cooling or heating certain rooms, you should first ensure your air filter is not filthy, which can prevent airflow. Check the vents in the rooms to ensure they are open and allow air to enter the room. If these solutions don’t work, call our specialists to inspect and diagnose the problem.

We recommend having your systems serviced twice annually. Have your heating serviced before the cold winter months fall upon us to ensure your family is warm and comfortable. Have your air conditioning serviced before the extremely humid Tennessee summers arrive to ensure you aren’t sticky and miserable during the summer months.

Several signs may imply you need a new AC unit. When your air conditioner is not cooling the house adequately or if you feel the airflow is not strong enough, it may be time for a replacement. Moisture or leakage around the unit is another sign that your machine is giving out. Units over 15 years old should be replaced.
