FAQs
How often should I schedule routine maintenance for my heating and air-conditioning system in Lookout Mountain?
We recommend two professional tune-ups per year—one in early fall for your heating equipment and one in early spring for your cooling system. Because Lookout Mountain experiences quick swings between mild days and freezing nights, semi-annual service keeps your system calibrated for efficient performance through both seasons.
What does a typical heat repair or maintenance visit include?
Our NATE-certified technicians perform a 20-plus point inspection: cleaning burners and heat exchangers, testing safety controls, tightening electrical connections, lubricating moving parts, calibrating the thermostat, checking refrigerant levels (for heat pumps), and verifying carbon-monoxide readings. We finish with a written report that details any issues and provides cost-effective repair options.
Will routine maintenance really lower my energy bills?
Yes. Dust buildup, loose belts, and out-of-calibration sensors can reduce efficiency by 10–20 percent. After a professional tune-up, most Lookout Mountain homeowners see their winter gas or electric bills drop noticeably, especially during the cold snaps that hit our ridge-top community.
How quickly can you respond to a no-heat emergency?
Because temperatures on the mountain can dip below freezing with little notice, we provide 24/7 emergency service. A technician is usually on-site within 2–4 hours, day or night, with fully stocked vans to handle 90 percent of repairs on the first visit.
Is it worth repairing an older furnace or heat pump, or should I replace it?
We use the 50 percent rule: if the repair cost is more than half the price of a new high-efficiency unit and your equipment is over 10 years old, replacement usually makes financial sense. We’ll give you a transparent repair-vs-replace comparison based on local energy rates and any TVA or manufacturer rebates currently available in Lookout Mountain.
Do you offer maintenance plans for Lookout Mountain homeowners?
Yes. Our Comfort Club includes two seasonal tune-ups, priority scheduling, 15 percent off all repairs, and no overtime fees. Members also receive annual safety inspections tailored to mountain homes—such as additional checks for chimney downdrafting and elevated moisture that can affect heat exchangers.
