FAQs
What HVAC services do you provide for homeowners and businesses in Kodak?
We offer complete heating and air-conditioning solutions, including system design and installation, 24/7 emergency repair, seasonal maintenance, ductwork inspection and sealing, smart-thermostat upgrades, and indoor air-quality products such as whole-home humidifiers, dehumidifiers, UV lights, and high-MERV filtration systems. All work is performed by EPA-certified technicians who understand the specific climate conditions and building codes in Kodak and Sevier County.
How often should I replace or clean my HVAC air filter?
In Kodak’s humid, pollen-rich environment, we recommend checking disposable filters every 30 days and replacing them at least every 60–90 days. Homes with pets, recent renovations, or residents with allergies may need monthly changes. Washable filters should be rinsed monthly and allowed to dry completely before reinsertion. Keeping a clean filter lowers energy bills by up to 15 %, protects system components, and improves indoor air quality.
What warning signs indicate my heating or cooling system needs professional repair?
Call us if you notice any of the following: uneven temperatures between rooms, weak airflow from vents, grinding or squealing noises, musty or burning odors, frequent cycling on and off, unexplained spikes in energy bills, or ice buildup on the outdoor unit. Addressing these issues early prevents costlier breakdowns and extends equipment life, especially during Kodak’s hot summers and chilly winters.
How can I improve the indoor air quality (IAQ) in my Kodak home?
Start with routine HVAC maintenance and frequent filter changes. Add IAQ upgrades such as a media air cleaner, hospital-grade HEPA or MERV-13+ filters, germicidal UV-C lamps to neutralize mold spores, and a whole-house dehumidifier to keep relative humidity between 40 % and 50 %. Balanced ventilation systems like energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs) exchange stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air while minimizing energy loss—ideal for Kodak’s mixed climate.
Is annual maintenance really necessary, and what does your tune-up include?
Yes. One heating tune-up in the fall and one cooling tune-up in the spring maintain efficiency, fulfill most manufacturer warranty terms, and reduce unexpected breakdowns by up to 80 %. Our 21-point inspection includes cleaning condenser and evaporator coils, tightening electrical connections, testing safety controls, calibrating the thermostat, checking refrigerant charge, lubricating moving parts, and measuring airflow and temperature differential. You’ll receive a written report and any recommendations for improvement.
Are there energy-efficient equipment options or local incentives available in Kodak?
Absolutely. We install ENERGY STAR®-rated heat pumps with SEER2 ratings of 15.2–20+, variable-speed furnaces up to 98 % AFUE, and smart zoning systems that can cut utility costs by 20–30 %. TVA’s EnergyRight® program and Sevier County Electric System often offer rebates for high-efficiency heat pumps and duct sealing, while federal tax credits up to $2,000 are available under the Inflation Reduction Act for qualifying upgrades. Our comfort advisors will calculate payback periods and handle all rebate paperwork for you.
