FAQs
What are the most common signs that my heating system needs repair?
In Niota’s chilly winters, watch for uneven room temperatures, unexplained spikes in energy bills, grinding or banging noises, short cycling (turning on and off rapidly), or a burner flame that burns yellow instead of blue. Any of these symptoms mean your system is struggling and should be checked before a small issue becomes an expensive breakdown.
How fast can your Niota technicians get to my home during an emergency heat outage?
We provide true 24/7 emergency service throughout Niota and the surrounding McMinn County area. Calls received before 8 p.m. are usually handled the same day, and after-hours requests are dispatched within two hours or less. Our fully stocked service vans carry most common parts so we can restore heat on the first visit whenever possible.
Are your heating technicians certified and insured?
Yes. Every technician is EPA-certified for refrigerant handling, NATE-certified for heating and air diagnostics, and licensed by the State of Tennessee for mechanical work. We are fully bonded and carry $1 million in liability insurance and workers’ compensation, so you’re protected while we’re on your property.
Which brands and types of heating equipment do you repair?
Our team services all major brands—including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, and Daikin—as well as lesser-known lines. We repair gas furnaces, electric furnaces, dual-fuel and straight heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, packaged rooftop units, and hydronic boiler systems. If it keeps you warm, chances are we can fix it.
My furnace is over 15 years old. Should I repair it or replace it?
A rule of thumb is to replace when the repair cost exceeds 50 % of a new system or when your unit is 15–20 years old and efficiency has dropped. Older furnaces often operate at 60–70 % AFUE, while new models reach 95 %+. We’ll perform a cost-benefit analysis—including energy savings, any available rebates, and our financing options—so you can make an informed decision.
How can I prevent future heating breakdowns and extend my system’s life?
Schedule professional maintenance every fall, replace or clean filters monthly, keep supply and return vents unobstructed, program your thermostat for moderate temperature swings, and have ducts inspected for leaks every three to five years. Our Niota Comfort Club offers biannual tune-ups, priority service, and parts discounts to keep your system running smoothly all year.
