FAQs
How can I tell if my heat pump needs professional repair?
Common warning signs include insufficient heating or cooling, unusually high energy bills, short-cycling (frequent on/off cycles), grinding or rattling noises, ice buildup on the outdoor unit in moderate weather, and persistent error codes on the thermostat. If you notice any of these symptoms at your Maryville home, shut the system off to avoid further damage and call Airflow Heating & Air Conditioning for a diagnostic visit.
What brands and types of heat pumps do you service in Maryville?
Our certified technicians repair and maintain all major heat-pump brands found in East Tennessee, including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, Bryant, Mitsubishi, and Daikin. We are trained on both traditional split-system heat pumps and high-efficiency ductless mini-splits, as well as dual-fuel (hybrid) systems that pair a heat pump with a gas furnace.
How fast can you respond to a no-heat emergency during winter?
We offer 24/7 emergency service for Maryville and the surrounding Blount County area. Calls received before 10 p.m. are typically handled the same evening; overnight calls are dispatched at first light. Our fully stocked service vans allow most repairs to be completed in a single visit, even on weekends and holidays.
Is it more cost-effective to repair or replace my older heat pump?
A rule of thumb is to compare repair cost to the system’s age. If the repair exceeds 30% of the cost of a new ENERGY STAR® unit and the heat pump is over 10–12 years old, replacement often delivers better long-term value through lower utility bills and a new warranty. During our visit we provide a side-by-side repair-versus-replace estimate so you can make an informed decision.
What should I expect to pay for a typical heat pump repair in Maryville?
Minor repairs such as capacitor or contactor replacement average $175–$300. Intermediate repairs like fan-motor or defrost-board replacement run $350–$600. Major jobs such as refrigerant leaks, reversing-valve swaps, or compressor replacements can range from $800 to $2,200. After diagnosis we quote a flat price up front—no hidden fees, trip charges, or overtime markups.
How can I reduce the chance of future heat pump breakdowns?
1. Schedule professional maintenance every spring and fall to clean coils, check refrigerant charge, test electrical connections, and calibrate controls. 2. Replace or wash your air filter every 30–60 days. 3. Keep a two-foot clearance around the outdoor unit; remove leaves, grass clippings, and snow. 4. Use a programmable thermostat to avoid excessive temperature swings. 5. Address small performance changes promptly—waiting often turns minor issues into costly repairs. Airflow Heating & Air Conditioning offers a Comfort Club plan that includes biannual tune-ups, priority scheduling, and discounts on parts and labor.
