FAQs
What types of heating and air-conditioning systems do you service and install in Coalmont?
Reliable Temperature Control works on virtually every residential and light-commercial HVAC configuration found in the Coalmont area: high-efficiency gas and electric furnaces, air-source heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, central air conditioners, ductless mini-splits, packaged rooftop units, and geothermal systems. Our team is factory-trained on the major brands sold in Tennessee and carries the specialized tools and refrigerants required for today’s high-SEER equipment. Whether you need a first-time system design for new construction or a like-for-like replacement, we handle the load calculations, permitting, installation, and start-up so your new system meets local codes and manufacturer warranty standards.
How often should I change or clean my HVAC filters to maintain good indoor air quality?
In Coalmont’s mix of pollen-rich spring, dusty summer, and wood-smoke winter air, a standard 1-inch disposable filter should be replaced every 30–60 days. If you have pets, allergies, or run the system continuously, stick to the 30-day side. Thicker 4- to 5-inch media filters can last 3–6 months. Washable electrostatic filters should be rinsed monthly and dried completely before reinstallation. Staying on this schedule protects your blower motor, keeps coils clean, and can lower energy use by up to 15 %. We can label your thermostat with reminders or enroll you in our filter subscription service so replacements arrive at your door right when you need them.
What warning signs tell me my furnace or AC needs professional repair?
Look for temperature swings of more than 3 °F between rooms, unusual noises (grinding, banging, short cycling), a sudden spike in utility bills, weak airflow at registers, or musty/burning odors. On a furnace, a yellow or flickering burner flame, water pooling around the unit, or frequent limit-switch shutdowns signal trouble. For air conditioners or heat pumps, ice on the outdoor coil, warm air in cooling mode, or tripped breakers mean service is due. Addressing issues early prevents larger component failures, preserves the warranty, and keeps your family safe from carbon-monoxide or refrigerant hazards.
Do you offer energy-efficient HVAC options that handle Coalmont’s hot summers and cold, damp winters?
Yes. We install ENERGY STAR dual-fuel heat pumps paired with 96 % AFUE gas furnaces, variable-speed inverter ACs up to 20 SEER2, and ECM blower upgrades that adjust airflow automatically. For homes with good solar exposure, we can integrate heat-pump water heaters and smart thermostats for additional savings. Our comfort advisers perform a Manual J load calculation to right-size the equipment, then show you cost-of-ownership projections that include local TVA and federal Inflation Reduction Act rebates—often cutting initial costs by 30 % or more.
How can a whole-home ventilation or air-purification system improve my indoor air quality?
Tight building envelopes trap moisture, VOCs, and airborne particles. Installing an ERV (energy-recovery ventilator) or HRV (heat-recovery ventilator) brings in fresh outdoor air while pre-conditioning it with outgoing stale air, so you gain ventilation without a big energy penalty. Pairing ventilation with MERV-13 or HEPA filtration, UV-C germicidal lights, and an active PCO (photocatalytic oxidation) purifier removes up to 99 % of allergens, viruses, and odors. Homeowners in Coalmont report fewer respiratory symptoms, balanced humidity, and a cleaner smell throughout the house—especially helpful during allergy season and winter inversion days.
Do you offer maintenance plans, and what is included?
Our Peak Performance Plan includes two precision tune-ups per year—one heating, one cooling—plus a 25-point safety inspection, coil cleaning, thermostat calibration, drain-line treatment, and combustion/emissions test. Members receive priority same-day service, no overtime fees, and a 15 % discount on parts and labor. Regular maintenance restores lost efficiency (saving roughly $100–$150 per year on utilities), catches small issues before they become costly breakdowns, and preserves manufacturer warranties that require documented professional service.
