FAQs
What air-conditioning services do your certified technicians provide in Kodak?
Our EPA- and NATE-certified technicians handle the full spectrum of residential and light-commercial cooling needs. That includes new system design and installation, high-efficiency equipment replacement, precision diagnostics, 24/7 emergency repairs, seasonal tune-ups, indoor-air-quality add-ons (such as dehumidifiers and UV lights), and ductwork inspection or replacement. Because we carry common OEM parts on our service vehicles, most repairs can be completed in a single visit.
How do I know your technicians are truly certified?
Every field technician on our team holds current North American Technician Excellence (NATE) certification, the industry’s gold standard. In addition, they maintain EPA Section 608 refrigerant handling credentials and undergo factory-authorized training from leading manufacturers such as Trane, Lennox, and Rheem. We’re happy to show proof of all licenses and insurance before any work begins.
What is your typical response time for emergency AC repairs in Kodak?
For calls received before 10 p.m., we dispatch a technician within two hours anywhere in the Kodak ZIP code (37764) as well as surrounding Sevier and Knox County neighborhoods. After-hours and holiday calls are answered by our on-call team, and 90 % of emergency customers receive same-day cooling restoration. Real-time GPS tracking lets you see when your technician is en route.
Should I repair or replace my aging air conditioner?
A good rule of thumb is the $5,000 guideline: multiply the unit’s age by the estimated repair cost—if the total exceeds $5,000, replacement usually makes more financial sense. Other signs it’s time for an upgrade include R-22 refrigerant use (now phased out), frequent breakdowns, uneven cooling, or energy bills that have risen more than 30 % in the last two summers. During a free in-home consultation, we’ll compare repair costs, new-equipment efficiency ratings (SEER2), available rebates, and projected energy savings so you can make an informed decision.
Do you offer preventative maintenance plans, and what do they cover?
Yes. Our Comfort Club members receive two precision tune-ups per year—one in spring for cooling and one in fall for heating. Each visit includes coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, electrical testing, thermostat calibration, drain-line clearing, and air-filter replacement. Members also enjoy priority scheduling, a 15 % discount on repairs, no overtime fees, and documented service records that help keep manufacturer warranties valid.
Are there energy-efficiency incentives available for homeowners in Kodak?
Absolutely. The federal Inflation Reduction Act currently provides tax credits of up to $2,000 on qualifying ENERGY STAR® air-source heat pumps and high-efficiency central AC units (16 SEER2 or higher). Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) also offers rebates up to $150 per ton for approved high-efficiency upgrades. Our staff will complete the rebate paperwork for you and can demonstrate projected utility savings using Manual J load calculations and AHRI performance data.
