FAQs
What air-conditioning services do you offer in Tellico Plains?
Our team provides complete residential and light-commercial air-conditioning solutions, including new system design and installation, replacement of outdated units, precision diagnostics, 24/7 emergency repairs, seasonal tune-ups, indoor air-quality upgrades, ductwork repair or replacement, and smart-thermostat integration. Whether you need a quick refrigerant recharge or a high-efficiency system for a new build, we have the training, parts, and local permits to handle the job.
How quickly can you respond to an AC emergency in the Tellico Plains area?
We maintain an on-call technician roster so we can answer most emergency calls within 2–4 hours—often sooner if you’re inside the Tellico Plains town limits. Our service trucks are fully stocked, allowing us to resolve about 85 percent of breakdowns in a single visit. If a specialized part is required, we place same-day orders through regional suppliers and provide temporary cooling solutions when available.
Which air-conditioning brands do you service and install?
Our technicians are factory-trained on major brands such as Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Daikin, and American Standard. We also service less common brands and older models, thanks to universal EPA-certified tools and software diagnostics. When it comes to installations, we offer brand-agnostic consultations focused on SEER2 ratings, warranty terms, and budget so you can choose the best fit for your home.
How can I improve the energy efficiency of my AC system without replacing it?
Start with a professional tune-up to clean coils, calibrate refrigerant levels, and test airflow. Next, replace your air filter every 30–60 days during peak use, seal visible duct leaks, and install a programmable or smart thermostat to avoid over-cooling. Simple upgrades like adding attic insulation and shading west-facing windows can reduce cooling demand by 10–15 percent. We’re happy to perform a home-energy audit and prioritize the most cost-effective improvements.
What are the common signs that my air conditioner needs repair or full replacement?
Warning signs include weak airflow, warm air from vents, short cycling, moisture around the air handler, unexplained spikes in your utility bill, or loud rattling and grinding noises. If your system is over 12–15 years old and requires a major component such as a compressor or evaporator coil, replacement often delivers better long-term value through higher efficiency and lower repair costs. We’ll provide a detailed cost-benefit analysis to help you decide.
Do you offer maintenance plans, and what do they include?
Yes. Our Comfort Care plans include two seasonal visits (spring and fall) with 21-point inspections, coil cleaning, drain-line flushing, thermostat calibration, safety checks, and filter replacements. Members enjoy priority scheduling, 15 percent discounts on repairs, zero overtime fees, and extended warranties on parts we install. Enrolling in a plan keeps your manufacturer’s warranty valid and can reduce annual cooling costs by up to 20 percent.
