FAQs
What qualifies as an AC emergency and how quickly can you get to my home or business in Ducktown?
An AC emergency is any situation where the system has stopped cooling entirely, is blowing warm air, is leaking refrigerant or water, is emitting burning smells, or is tripping breakers. In Ducktown’s summer heat, any of these can pose safety and comfort risks. Our on-call technicians are available 24/7 and can usually arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call, day or night, weekends and holidays included.
Do you repair every brand and model of air conditioner, even older or discontinued units?
Yes. Our team is trained on all major HVAC brands—Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, and many others—and we carry a large inventory of universal replacement parts on our service trucks. If your AC is an older or discontinued model, we will locate compatible parts through our supplier network or offer cost-effective retrofit options to get you cooling again.
Is there anything I should do while waiting for the emergency technician to arrive?
Turn the thermostat off to prevent further damage, check that the circuit breaker is in the ON position, and clear the area around the indoor and outdoor units for safe access. If you notice water leaks, place towels or a pan under the drip to protect floors. Do not attempt to open the refrigerant lines or electrical panels yourself—this can be dangerous and may void warranties.
Are your HVAC technicians licensed, insured, and familiar with Ducktown codes?
Absolutely. Every technician holds a Tennessee HVAC license, carries full liability and workers’ compensation insurance, and receives ongoing training in current building and electrical codes specific to Ducktown and Polk County. We pull any required permits for larger repairs, so your system stays 100 % compliant.
How much will an emergency AC repair cost and are there after-hours fees?
Emergency calls have a modest after-hours diagnostic fee that covers rapid dispatch and priority parts sourcing. Once we assess the problem, you receive an upfront, flat-rate quote before any work begins—no surprise charges. Typical emergency repairs in Ducktown range from $150 for capacitor replacements to $1,200 for compressor starters or refrigerant leaks. We accept major credit cards and offer short-term financing on larger repairs.
Can I prevent future emergency breakdowns in Ducktown’s climate?
Most emergencies stem from neglected maintenance. We recommend a spring and fall tune-up, which includes cleaning coils, checking refrigerant levels, testing safety controls, and replacing worn electrical components. Because Ducktown experiences high summer humidity and chilly winters, a bi-annual maintenance plan keeps both your cooling and heating components running efficiently, extends equipment life, and significantly reduces the likelihood of sudden failures.
