FAQs

What indoor air heating and air-conditioning services do you provide in Harriman?

We offer complete HVAC solutions for homes and light-commercial spaces, including new system design and installation, replacement of outdated furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners, seasonal tune-ups, 24/7 emergency repair, ductwork inspection and sealing, thermostat upgrades, and indoor-air-quality products such as humidifiers, de-humidifiers, UV germicidal lights, and high-efficiency air cleaners. All work is performed by licensed, factory-trained technicians who understand Harriman’s specific climate and building codes.

How often should my heating and cooling equipment be serviced in Harriman’s climate?

Because East Tennessee experiences hot, humid summers and cool, occasionally freezing winters, we recommend two precision tune-ups per year—one in early spring for the cooling system and one in early fall for the heating equipment. Regular service includes cleaning coils and burners, checking refrigerant charge, tightening electrical connections, testing safety controls, calibrating the thermostat, and verifying airflow. This twice-a-year schedule maximizes efficiency, extends equipment life, maintains warranty coverage, and reduces the likelihood of a mid-season breakdown.

What size HVAC system is right for my home?

System size is determined with a Manual-J load calculation that factors in square footage, insulation levels, window type and orientation, air infiltration, duct design, and the number of occupants—not just the home’s overall size. Oversized equipment will short-cycle and waste energy, while undersized units will struggle to keep you comfortable. Our comfort consultant will measure your home, input the data into industry software, and recommend a properly sized, ENERGY STAR®-rated heat pump, furnace, or air conditioner tailored for Harriman’s temperature extremes.

How can I improve indoor air quality and reduce allergens?

Start with a high-MERV pleated filter or a whole-home media air cleaner to capture dust and pollen. For finer particles, add an electronic air purifier or UV-C light to neutralize mold spores and bacteria. Balanced ventilation systems such as ERVs introduce fresh outdoor air without sacrificing energy efficiency, while humidity control (40-50% RH) inhibits dust mites and microbial growth. We also offer duct cleaning and sealing services to eliminate contaminant buildup and prevent unfiltered attic or crawl-space air from entering your living areas.

Are there energy-efficient HVAC options that can lower my utility bills?

Yes. We install variable-speed heat pumps and air conditioners with SEER2 ratings up to the mid-20s, 96%-AFUE gas furnaces, dual-fuel hybrid systems, and smart thermostats that learn your schedule and adjust automatically. Many of these qualify for federal tax credits, TVA energy-right rebates, and utility incentives available to Harriman residents. High-efficiency equipment typically cuts heating and cooling costs 20–40%, and when paired with proper duct sealing and insulation upgrades, payback can be achieved in as little as 3–5 years.

Do you offer 24/7 emergency service, and what should I do if my system fails after hours?

Yes. Our on-call technicians are available nights, weekends, and holidays throughout Harriman and Roane County. If your system stops working, first check the thermostat setting, breaker, and air filter. If the unit still won’t run—or you hear grinding noises, smell burning odors, or notice water leaks—shut the system off and call our emergency line. We’ll dispatch a certified technician in a fully stocked service vehicle to diagnose the problem and restore comfort, usually on the first visit. We also honor manufacturer warranties and offer flexible financing for major repairs.
