FAQs
Why is a seasonal system check important for my heating and air conditioning in Crossville?
Crossville’s climate swings from cold, damp winters to hot, humid summers. A twice-a-year inspection makes sure your furnace is safe and efficient before heating season and confirms your air-conditioning can handle summer humidity. During a system check we clean coils and burners, verify refrigerant charge, tighten electrical connections, lubricate moving parts, and test safety controls. Proactive maintenance lowers energy bills, prevents 80 % of unexpected breakdowns, and extends equipment life by several years.
What does your HVAC system check include?
Our 30-point inspection covers: 1) thermostat calibration, 2) filter condition, 3) blower motor amperage, 4) heat exchanger integrity, 5) combustion analysis, 6) refrigerant pressure and superheat/sub-cool, 7) condenser and evaporator coil cleanliness, 8) drain pan and condensate line, 9) electrical component testing (contactors, capacitors, relays), 10) ductwork static pressure and leakage, and 11) overall system performance report. You receive a written summary with recommendations and photos so you know exactly what we found.
How do I know if I need a whole-home dehumidifier?
Warning signs include indoor relative humidity above 55 %, musty odors, window condensation, mold spots on walls or ceilings, sticky skin, or a constant need to lower the thermostat just to feel comfortable. Because Crossville sits on the Cumberland Plateau, humidity spikes after summer thunderstorms and during shoulder seasons when the air-conditioner isn’t running long enough to remove moisture. A humidity reading and load calculation during our visit will confirm whether a dehumidifier is the right solution.
What benefits will a dehumidifier add to my HVAC system?
A dedicated dehumidifier pulls moisture independently of your air-conditioner, letting you raise the thermostat 2-3 °F while feeling the same comfort—cutting cooling costs by up to 15 %. Lower humidity also inhibits mold, dust mites, and bacteria, protecting your family’s health and your home’s structure. Electronics, musical instruments, and hardwood floors last longer in controlled humidity. Finally, your A/C sees less wear because it no longer has to run extended cycles just to keep moisture in check.
How long does a dehumidifier installation take and will it disrupt my home?
Most residential installations take 4–6 hours. We mount the unit in the mechanical room or crawlspace, connect it to the return plenum, run a dedicated condensate drain, and wire it to the existing HVAC control board or a wall-mounted humidistat. Our technicians lay down protective floor coverings and vacuum afterwards, so disruption is minimal. You can typically resume normal household activities the same day.
Are there rebates or energy-savings programs in Crossville for installing a dehumidifier or upgrading my HVAC system?
Yes. Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) energy-right® offers incentives for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and for adding measures that improve indoor air quality, including whole-home dehumidifiers when paired with a heat-pump upgrade. Cumberland County residents may also qualify for low-interest financing through local electric cooperatives. We’ll provide the paperwork, AHRI certificates, and performance data needed to secure rebates and can submit the application on your behalf to streamline the process.
