FAQs
What types of air conditioning systems do you service in Sewanee?
Our technicians are factory-trained to diagnose, repair, and maintain virtually every residential and light-commercial cooling system found in Sewanee, including traditional split systems, heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, packaged rooftop units, and high-efficiency inverter systems. Whether your equipment runs on R-410A or an older refrigerant, we have the tools and certification to work on it safely and in compliance with EPA regulations.
How often should I schedule maintenance for my AC unit?
In Sewanee’s humid subtropical climate, we recommend professional maintenance once a year—ideally in early spring before the cooling season starts. An annual tune-up includes coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, electrical testing, drain-line clearing, and filter replacement. Regular maintenance can improve efficiency by up to 15 %, prevent unexpected breakdowns during the hottest days, and keep most manufacturer warranties valid.
Do you offer emergency AC repair services, and how quickly can you reach my home in Sewanee?
Yes. We provide 24/7 emergency AC repair throughout Sewanee and the surrounding Cumberland Plateau communities. Calls received before midnight are typically answered within one hour, and a fully stocked service van can usually arrive at your door within 90 minutes. There are no overtime labor charges for nights, weekends, or holidays—only a modest diagnostic fee that is waived if you proceed with the repair.
How can I improve my air conditioner’s energy efficiency and lower my utility bills?
Start by changing or cleaning filters every 30–60 days during heavy use, sealing leaky ductwork, and keeping the outdoor condenser free of debris. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can reduce cooling costs by 10–20 %. If your system is over 10 years old, consider a high-SEER replacement; modern inverter heat pumps can deliver up to 40 % energy savings. We also offer home energy audits that identify insulation gaps and ventilation issues specific to Sewanee’s older homes.
What signs indicate that I should consider replacing rather than repairing my current AC system?
If your unit is more than 12–15 years old, uses the phased-out R-22 refrigerant, or requires repairs exceeding 30 % of the cost of a new system, replacement is often the smarter financial choice. Other red flags include frequent service calls, uneven cooling, rising electric bills, or major component failures such as a compressor burn-out. We provide free in-home consultations to calculate life-cycle costs and help you decide with confidence.
Are there any rebates or financing options available for new AC installations in Sewanee?
Absolutely. TVA EnergyRight currently offers rebates of up to $250 for qualifying high-efficiency heat pumps, and select utility providers around Sewanee provide bill credits for ENERGY STAR installations. Our company partners with several lenders to offer 0 % APR financing for 12–18 months or low-interest plans up to 72 months. We handle all paperwork, including rebate submissions, to make upgrading your comfort system as affordable and hassle-free as possible.
