FAQs
What are the most common signs that my heating system in Tellico Plains needs repair?
Watch for uneven or insufficient heat, sudden spikes in your electric or gas bill, strange noises (grinding, banging, or squealing), short-cycling, or a thermostat that never reaches the set temperature. Because our mountain climate can swing quickly from mild to freezing, addressing these issues early prevents complete breakdowns and keeps energy consumption in check.
How do energy-efficient repairs save me money compared to a full system replacement?
Our technicians target the components that cause the biggest energy loss—faulty heat strips, dirty coils, worn blower motors, and outdated thermostats. Upgrading or repairing these parts can improve system efficiency by 15–30 percent, lowering your monthly utility costs immediately. You extend the life of your current equipment while postponing the higher upfront investment of a new unit.
Do you service all brands and models of furnaces and heat pumps?
Yes. We are factory-trained on leading brands such as Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, and Goodman, and we keep up-to-date diagnostic software for even the newest inverter-driven heat pumps. Whether your home has an older gas furnace or a high-efficiency dual-fuel system, we can obtain OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts quickly for fast, reliable repairs.
What should I do if my heating system stops working outside of regular business hours?
Call our 24/7 emergency hotline. A live local dispatcher will gather details about your issue and send the on-call technician. While you wait, switch off the system, check your breaker panel, and ensure filters are clear to avoid further damage. We arrive with fully stocked service vans so most problems are fixed in a single visit—even at 2 a.m.
How fast can you reach my home in Tellico Plains and the surrounding Monroe County area?
Because we’re based right here in Monroe County, our average response time within Tellico Plains is under 90 minutes for emergencies and the same or next business day for standard calls. We use GPS-routed dispatching to send the nearest technician, minimizing travel time through Cherohala Skyway and rural roads.
Are your technicians qualified to work on eco-friendly, high-efficiency systems and refrigerants?
Absolutely. All technicians hold NATE certification and EPA Section 608 Universal licenses, allowing us to handle R-410A, R-32, and other low-GWP refrigerants safely. We also train on ENERGY STAR® and SEER2 standards, smart thermostats, and variable-speed compressors so your repairs meet the latest efficiency and environmental guidelines.
