FAQs
What qualifies as an air-conditioning emergency, and when should I call you?
Any situation that leaves your home or business without cooling during Maryville’s hot, humid months can be classed as an emergency. Common examples include a total system failure, refrigerant leaks, electrical burning smells, smoke coming from the outdoor unit, the indoor temperature climbing rapidly (especially if young children, elderly adults, or medically sensitive individuals are present), or water backing up from a clogged condensate line. If you are unsure, call us—our dispatcher will help you decide whether an immediate visit is necessary or if the issue can wait until normal business hours.
How quickly can your technicians reach a property in Maryville during an emergency?
Our technicians are strategically stationed throughout Blount County, allowing us to reach most addresses in the Maryville area within 60–90 minutes of your call, day or night. We use GPS-enabled dispatching to send the closest, best-qualified technician and give you a live ETA by text. Severe weather, road closures, or multiple simultaneous calls may extend response times slightly, but you will always receive an honest, real-time estimate before we deploy.
Are your emergency air-conditioning services truly available 24/7, even on weekends and holidays?
Yes. We maintain a dedicated after-hours team that works rotating shifts so someone is always on duty—no answering machines or third-party call centers. Whether it’s midnight on the Fourth of July or 6 a.m. on a Sunday, you’ll speak with a local dispatcher who can schedule an immediate visit, provide basic safety instructions, and keep you updated until the technician arrives.
What brands and types of air-conditioning systems do you service or replace?
Our EPA-certified technicians are trained to diagnose and repair central split systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, rooftop units, and packaged systems from all major manufacturers, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, and Mitsubishi. We stock the most common OEM and universal replacement parts on our trucks, which resolves about 80 % of emergencies on the first visit. If your unit is beyond repair, we can provide same-day quotes and, in many cases, next-day installation of a new high-efficiency system.
How much will an emergency A/C repair cost, and do you offer financing?
We charge a flat diagnostic fee that covers the technician’s arrival, system inspection, and written estimate—no surprise hourly charges. After the diagnosis, you’ll receive up-front pricing for parts and labor before any work begins. We accept all major credit cards, offer 0 % short-term financing on approved credit for repairs over $500, and provide multiple replacement options to fit different budgets. Senior citizens, military personnel, and first responders receive a 10 % discount on labor.
What can I do to prevent future A/C emergencies, and do you offer maintenance plans in Maryville?
Preventive maintenance is the single best way to avoid sudden breakdowns. We recommend two tune-ups per year—one in early spring for the cooling season and one in fall for heating. During a tune-up we clean the coils, check refrigerant levels, tighten electrical connections, test safety controls, and verify airflow. Our Comfort Shield Plan bundles these visits with priority scheduling, a 15 % discount on repairs, waived after-hours fees, and documented service records that protect your manufacturer’s warranty. Most customers recover the plan cost through lower energy bills and fewer emergency calls in the first year.
