FAQs
What air-conditioning services does Tennessee Heat Heating & Air Conditioning provide in Decherd?
We offer a complete range of residential and light-commercial AC services, including new system design and installation, replacement of outdated equipment, seasonal tune-ups, 24/7 emergency repairs, indoor air-quality upgrades, ductwork inspections, and smart thermostat integration. Every service is performed by NATE-certified technicians who follow all Tennessee mechanical codes and manufacturer guidelines.
How do I know whether to repair or replace my current air-conditioning system?
A rule of thumb is to consider replacement when the cost of a major repair approaches 40–50 % of the price of a new high-efficiency unit—or if your system is over 12–15 years old and uses R-22 refrigerant. We provide a free load calculation and cost-of-ownership comparison so you can see the potential energy savings, warranty benefits, and comfort improvements before making a decision.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my AC unit?
For most homes in Decherd, we recommend a professional tune-up once a year—preferably in early spring. Regular maintenance keeps your manufacturer warranty valid, improves energy efficiency by up to 15 %, reduces the chance of mid-summer breakdowns, and extends equipment life. Our Comfort Club members receive priority scheduling, discounted repairs, and documented service records.
What are the signs that my air conditioner needs immediate repair?
Call us if you notice warm air coming from vents, weak airflow, short cycling, water or refrigerant leaks, unusual noises (grinding, squealing, banging), musty or burning odors, or an unexpected rise in your electric bill. These issues can indicate low refrigerant, compressor failure, frozen coils, or electrical problems that worsen quickly in Tennessee’s summer heat.
How long does a typical AC installation or replacement take?
Most standard residential change-outs take one full day. We start with an on-site evaluation, remove the old unit, set the new condenser and air handler, make any needed duct or electrical upgrades, charge and test the system, and review thermostat operation with you. Larger homes, custom ductwork, or indoor air-quality add-ons may extend the project to two days.
Do you offer financing or rebates for energy-efficient air conditioners?
Yes. We partner with multiple lenders to provide low-interest and zero-interest financing options with flexible terms. We also help customers claim TVA EnergyRight incentives, manufacturer rebates, and federal tax credits for qualifying high-SEER heat pumps and central AC systems. Our comfort consultants handle the paperwork so you can start saving on utilities right away.
