FAQs
What size air conditioner do I need for my home in Halls?
Correct sizing depends on square footage, insulation quality, ceiling height, window exposure, and even how much shade your house gets. As a rough rule of thumb, homes in the Halls area require about 20-25 BTUs of cooling per square foot, but that’s only a starting point. Our technicians perform a Manual-J load calculation to pinpoint the exact capacity your system needs. An oversized unit will short-cycle and waste energy, while an undersized unit will run constantly and struggle in our humid Tennessee summers.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC air filter?
Most 1-inch disposable filters should be checked every 30 days and replaced at least every 60–90 days. If you have pets, allergies, or run your system continuously, monthly replacement is best. High-efficiency 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 6–12 months. A clean filter keeps airflow at the proper level, lowers energy bills by up to 15 %, and protects your evaporator coil from dust buildup.
What is the average lifespan of an air conditioner in Halls’ climate?
With proper maintenance, central air conditioners in West Tennessee typically last 12–15 years. Heat pumps, which run year-round, average 10–12 years. Factors that shorten life include infrequent filter changes, skipped tune-ups, dirty condenser coils, and low refrigerant. Enrolling in our preventive maintenance plan and having repairs handled promptly can add 3–5 extra years to your system’s service life.
Do I really need annual maintenance for my heating and cooling system?
Yes. The Department of Energy estimates that routine maintenance can cut energy use by up to 30 % and prevent 80 % of breakdowns. For Halls homeowners we recommend two visits per year: one in spring for the air conditioner and one in fall for the furnace or heat pump. Each check includes cleaning coils, testing refrigerant charge, inspecting electrical components, lubricating motors, and verifying thermostat calibration. Regular service keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid as well.
What are the warning signs my AC needs professional repair?
Call us if you notice these common red flags: warm air blowing from vents, poor airflow, frequent cycling, ice on the outdoor or indoor coils, unusual noises (grinding, squealing, or rattling), higher-than-normal utility bills, or water leaks around the indoor unit. Addressing problems early prevents compressor failure and saves you from emergency replacement during Halls’ hottest weeks.
Are there energy-efficient incentives or rebates for upgrading my AC in Halls?
Yes. Through the TVA EnergyRight program, qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps and air conditioners can earn rebates of $300–$500. Federal tax credits of up to $2,000 are also available for systems meeting the new ≥16 SEER2 (or ≥15.2 SEER2 for heat pumps) efficiency standards. Our team will submit the paperwork and make sure the new equipment qualifies so you receive every dollar of savings.
