FAQs
What air-conditioning services do you provide for homeowners and businesses in Rockwood?
We are a full-service HVAC contractor offering complete air-conditioning solutions in Rockwood, including new system design and installation, replacement of outdated units, 24/7 emergency repairs, seasonal tune-ups, ductless mini-split installation, indoor-air-quality upgrades (such as UV lights and high-efficiency filters), smart-thermostat integration, and ongoing maintenance plans. Every service is performed by licensed, factory-trained technicians who are familiar with local Rockwood building codes and the unique climate demands of our region.
How fast can you respond to an air-conditioning breakdown in Rockwood, and is there an extra charge for after-hours service?
Because our main dispatch center is located right here in Rockwood, most emergency calls are answered within 2–4 hours—often sooner during normal business hours. We maintain on-call technicians nights, weekends, and holidays, so you never have to wait through a hot spell. There is no additional “overtime” fee for service plan members; for non-members, a modest after-hours diagnostic fee applies, which is waived if you elect to have the repair completed during the same visit.
What size or capacity air conditioner is right for my Rockwood home?
Proper sizing depends on your home’s square footage, insulation level, window orientation, duct condition, and the local Rockwood summer design temperature. Our comfort advisors perform a Manual J load calculation—required by Tennessee/Ontario building codes—before recommending equipment. Installing a unit that is too large leads to short cycling and humidity problems; too small and it will run constantly and raise energy bills. A load calculation ensures you get the right SEER2-rated system with balanced airflow for each room.
How often should my air conditioner be serviced, and what’s included in a tune-up?
We recommend scheduling preventative maintenance once per cooling season, ideally in early spring before Rockwood’s first heat wave. Our 21-point tune-up includes: checking refrigerant charge, cleaning the condenser coil, inspecting the evaporator coil, tightening electrical connections, measuring motor amperage, testing safety controls, flushing the condensate drain, calibrating the thermostat, lubricating moving parts, and verifying overall system performance. Regular maintenance can cut energy costs by up to 15%, reduce breakdowns, and keep your manufacturer’s warranty valid.
Will upgrading to a high-efficiency or heat-pump system really save money in Rockwood’s climate?
Yes. Rockwood experiences humid summers and relatively mild winters, making it ideal for today’s variable-speed air-source heat pumps and high-SEER2 air conditioners. A current 18–20 SEER2 unit can lower cooling costs by 30–40% compared with a 10-SEER system installed in the early 2000s. Dual-fuel heat pumps provide efficient heating down to about 25 °F, after which a gas furnace or electric backup takes over. We provide a free energy-savings analysis showing your projected payback and can help you apply for federal tax credits and utility rebates that further shorten the ROI period.
Do you offer financing or rebates for new AC installations in Rockwood?
Absolutely. We partner with several lenders to offer 0% APR promotional financing for 12–60 months on approved credit, as well as low-monthly-payment options. Rockwood Utility District and TVA periodically offer rebates for high-efficiency heat-pump installations, and federal Inflation Reduction Act incentives can cover up to 30% of the cost, subject to household income limits. Our office will handle the paperwork and submit rebate applications on your behalf, ensuring you receive every dollar of available savings.
