FAQs
What certifications do your heating and air-conditioning technicians hold?
Every field professional who serves Tellico Plains customers is NATE-certified (North American Technician Excellence) and EPA Section 608 certified to handle refrigerants safely. Many of our senior techs also maintain OSHA 10 or 30 safety cards and manufacturer-specific credentials from Trane, Lennox, Carrier, and Mitsubishi Electric. These certifications verify that the technician working in your home or business has proven knowledge of HVAC theory, proper installation, diagnostics, and safe work practices.
How fast can a certified technician get to my home or business in Tellico Plains?
Because we maintain a dedicated service team in Monroe County, most routine calls are scheduled within 24 hours and, in many cases, the same day. For no-heat, no-cool, or refrigerant leaks we offer 24/7 emergency dispatch; a certified technician is typically on-site within 2–3 hours, even on weekends and holidays. You’ll receive real-time text or email updates with the technician’s name, certification numbers, and live GPS tracking for added peace of mind.
What services can your certified technicians perform?
Our team handles the full HVAC lifecycle—new system design and installation, seasonal tune-ups, emergency repairs, indoor air-quality upgrades, ductwork balancing, and smart thermostat integration. Whether you own a high-efficiency heat pump, a traditional split A/C, a gas furnace, or a ductless mini-split, the same certified technician can diagnose, repair, or replace components to factory specifications. We also perform Manual J load calculations to ensure any new equipment is perfectly sized for Tellico Plains’ humid subtropical climate.
Do you offer preventive maintenance plans, and what advantages do they provide?
Yes. Our Comfort Shield Maintenance Plans include two precision tune-ups a year—one before the summer cooling season and one before the winter heating season. Members receive priority scheduling, no overtime fees, a 15 % discount on repairs, and documented service records that keep manufacturer warranties intact. Regular maintenance performed by a certified technician can cut energy bills by up to 20 %, extend equipment life by 5–7 years, and reduce the likelihood of a major breakdown during Tellico Plains’ temperature extremes.
Can your technicians service all major HVAC brands and models?
Absolutely. Ongoing factory training and access to proprietary diagnostic software allow our certified technicians to work on Trane, Goodman, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Amana, York, Daikin, Mitsubishi, and more. Our service trucks are stocked with OEM and universal parts, so 85 % of repairs are completed in a single visit. If specialized components are required, we have supplier partnerships in Knoxville and Chattanooga to expedite delivery, minimizing system downtime for Tellico Plains residents.
What safety and cleanliness protocols do technicians follow while working in my home?
Your safety is paramount. Technicians arrive in logoed uniforms, carry photo ID badges, and follow strict lock-out/tag-out procedures on electrical and gas sources. They wear shoe covers, use drop cloths, and sanitize work areas before leaving. All tools are disinfected between appointments, and technicians adhere to current CDC and Tennessee Department of Health guidelines, including face coverings on request. You’ll also receive a post-service digital report with photos and notes so you can see exactly what was done without having to hover over the work area.
