FAQs
What kinds of air conditioning systems can Cooling Solutions install for Allardt homeowners?
We work with all major residential cooling technologies, including high-efficiency central split systems, ductless mini-splits, packaged units, heat-pump air conditioners, and indoor air-quality add-ons such as dehumidifiers and advanced filtration. After a free in-home assessment, we recommend the system that best matches your square footage, insulation level, duct layout, and budget. Because Allardt summers are warm and humid, we focus on equipment with high SEER2 ratings and strong moisture-removal performance to keep your home comfortable and energy bills low.
How often should my AC be serviced in the Cumberland Plateau climate?
We recommend two professional checkups per year—one in early spring before heavy cooling season and another mid-fall if you run a heat pump for winter heating. During maintenance we clean coils, check refrigerant charge, calibrate the thermostat, test capacitors, and inspect electrical connections. Regular service keeps your warranty valid, helps the unit run up to 20 % more efficiently, and greatly reduces the odds of an unexpected breakdown during Allardt’s hottest weeks in July and August.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency air-conditioning repair in Allardt, and what counts as an emergency?
Yes. Our technicians are on call around the clock, including weekends and holidays. Situations we consider urgent include: complete system failure when outside temps exceed 85 °F, refrigerant leaks or ice build-up on the coil, burning smells or tripped breakers, and any unit serving vulnerable occupants such as infants, seniors, or medically fragile individuals. Call our main number anytime; you’ll reach a live dispatcher who can often have a certified tech at your door within two hours inside Fentress County.
What simple steps can I take to lower cooling costs without sacrificing comfort?
• Replace or wash air filters every 30–60 days in peak season. • Set the thermostat at 78 °F when you’re home and 82 °F when you’re away; a smart thermostat can automate this. • Keep blinds or curtains closed on west-facing windows during the afternoon. • Seal and insulate attic penetrations and ductwork—leaky ducts can waste up to 30 % of cooled air. • Schedule annual coil cleanings; a dirty evaporator coil can raise energy use by 15 % or more. Implementing these tips plus an HVAC tune-up typically saves Allardt homeowners $150–$250 per year on utility bills.
How do I know what size air conditioner my home needs?
Proper sizing is critical; an oversized unit short-cycles and wastes energy, while an undersized unit runs nonstop and never reaches setpoint. We perform a Manual J load calculation that factors in square footage, ceiling height, window orientation, insulation levels, air-leakage rate, and local Allardt design temperatures (91 °F summer, 21 °F winter). The result tells us the exact BTU capacity required, often between 1.5 and 4 tons for typical Plateau residences. We then match that load to equipment with the right SEER2 and blower speed options for optimal humidity control.
Are there rebates or tax incentives in Allardt for upgrading to a high-efficiency AC?
Yes. As of 2024, TVA’s EnergyRight program offers rebates of $150–$600 for installing qualifying heat-pump or high-efficiency central AC systems (SEER2 ≥ 16). Federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act provide up to 30 % of costs, capped at $2,000, for equipment rated ENERGY STAR® Most Efficient. Low-to-moderate income households may also be eligible for forthcoming HOMES performance rebates. We handle all paperwork, submit rebate applications, and provide the AHRI certificate you need for your tax return, ensuring you receive every dollar available.
