Homes in Park City tend to run older equipment. A lot of the housing stock here was built before heat pumps became the default choice for this part of Tennessee, which means you'll find gas furnaces paired with central air systems that have been running for a decade or more, sometimes longer. Some of those systems have never had a professional look at them. Others have had the same filter in place since the last owner moved out. When something finally goes wrong, the call usually comes in at the worst possible moment.
We handle the full range of heating and cooling work in Park City and across Lincoln County, from a quick capacitor swap to a full system replacement. Whether the problem is a furnace that won't fire, an AC that blows warm air, or a heat pump that stopped switching modes, we scope the job on the phone, confirm the price, and get it handled.
We take calls every day from 9 AM to 10 PM at (256) 649-2428.
It sounds obvious, but the thermostat is the right place to start. Check that it's set to the correct mode, that the temperature setting is actually calling for heating or cooling, and that the display is on. A dead battery or a tripped breaker to the air handler will shut down a perfectly functional system and look exactly like a major fault. If the screen is blank or the unit isn't responding, try replacing the batteries before anything else.
A clogged filter restricts airflow enough to cause the system to short cycle, freeze the evaporator coil, or trip a limit switch on the furnace. Pull the filter and hold it up to the light. If you can't see through it, replace it. Also check the indoor unit for a power switch, which looks like a standard light switch mounted on the wall near the air handler. It's easy to knock off accidentally, and when it's off the system won't run regardless of what the thermostat says.
These checks take two minutes and solve the problem more often than you'd expect. If none of them change anything, that's when the call makes sense.
When a system goes down completely, the conversation starts on the phone. We ask about what the system is doing, what it was doing before it stopped, and what you've already checked. That scoping call matters because it shapes what the visit covers and what it will cost. The price is confirmed before anything is scheduled, and you decide whether to move forward.
For properties where someone is living or working without heat or cooling, we understand that's not a situation that holds. We take those calls as priority during our hours, every day from 9 AM to 10 PM. If you're managing a rental in Park City and a tenant is without AC in July or heat in January, call as soon as the problem is reported. We'll work through what's happening and get something on the schedule.
For businesses or occupied spaces that need to stay open during the visit, that's a conversation worth having on the call. Most HVAC work doesn't require shutting down a building, and where it does, we'll tell you upfront so you can plan around it.
A dirty evaporator coil is one of the more common reasons a system stops cooling effectively. Dust and debris build up on the coil over time, insulating it against the refrigerant and reducing how much heat it can pull from the air. The result is a system that runs longer than it should and still doesn't reach the set temperature. Cleaning restores heat transfer. Where the coil is physically damaged or corroded, we assess whether repair or replacement is the better path and confirm the price before any work starts.
These are the components that tend to fail quietly before anything dramatic happens. A weak capacitor causes the compressor or fan motor to struggle at startup. A worn contactor makes the outdoor unit cycle on and off unpredictably. A failing control board can produce symptoms that look like a dozen different problems at once. We test the components rather than guessing, and we quote the repair after the diagnosis, not before it.
Rooms that are consistently too hot or too cold despite a working system often point to an airflow problem rather than an equipment fault. Partially closed registers, disconnected duct runs, or a blower that isn't moving enough air through the system can all create uneven comfort across a home. We check static pressure, inspect the duct layout, and adjust or repair what needs adjusting. For properties where the original ductwork was never designed to reach an addition or a converted space, duct sealing and extension are part of what we do.
A furnace that ignites and then shuts off, a burner that won't light at all, or a blower that runs without producing heat are all situations that need a proper diagnosis before any part is replaced. The visit covers the ignition system, the heat exchanger, the limit switches, and the blower motor. If the heat exchanger shows a concern, we'll tell you directly, because that's a safety issue and not one to work around. A tune-up is a good time to find out what a system needs before it becomes a no-heat call on the coldest night of the year.
Heat pump adoption across this part of Tennessee has grown steadily, and for good reason. A heat pump handles both heating and cooling from a single system, and in a climate with moderate winters, it handles the heating load efficiently without needing a gas line. For homes replacing an aging furnace-and-AC setup, a heat pump installation is worth pricing out alongside a straight like-for-like replacement. We also install ductless mini-split systems for spaces that don't connect to existing ductwork, including additions, workshops, and bonus rooms.
Matching what was there before is not the same as matching what the property needs. An undersized replacement will run constantly and still fall short on the hottest or coldest days. An oversized one will short cycle, wear out faster, and leave the air feeling clammy because it cools too quickly to pull moisture out of it. Both problems are common when the equipment gets swapped without a proper load calculation.
We size replacements based on the actual characteristics of the home: the square footage, the insulation, the window area, the duct layout, and the way the space is used. That calculation takes a few minutes and changes the recommendation. It also means the new system is sized for what the property actually needs, not what the old one happened to be.
For older homes in Park City that have had additions or layout changes over the years, the original equipment size is often the wrong reference point entirely. We check the current duct system as part of the replacement process, because a new unit connected to leaking or undersized ducts will underperform the same way the old one did.
The price depends on what the fault turns out to be, what has to be accessed to fix it, and whether a repair or a replacement is the right answer. A capacitor swap costs differently than a coil replacement. A furnace tune-up costs differently than a heat exchanger repair. We don't quote a number before understanding what the system is doing, because a number given before the diagnosis is a guess.
What we do confirm on the call is what the diagnostic visit costs and what it includes. If the repair is more involved than the initial scope, the updated price is confirmed before any work continues. You're never asked to approve something that wasn't discussed first.

We're available every day from 9 AM to 10 PM. The call is where the scope gets settled and the price gets agreed. There is more on our services page.
We serve Park City and the surrounding area across Lincoln County. That includes Fayetteville, Taft, Flintville, Blanche, and Hazel Green. If you're not sure whether your address falls within the service area, call and ask. We'll confirm it on the phone.
Residential calls make up most of the work here: single-family homes, rentals, and older properties where the equipment hasn't been touched in years. We also take commercial calls for small businesses and multi-unit properties. The process is the same regardless of property type. Scope the job on the call, confirm the price, do the work.
Yes, a smell on startup is worth a call rather than waiting to see whether it clears. A brief dust smell at the beginning of heating season is common, but a persistent burning smell or a musty odor that does not clear within a few minutes can point to a fault that gets worse if left alone.
Most callers focus on the symptom they can see rather than what the system is doing as a whole. Knowing whether the system is running at all, whether the outdoor unit is operating, and what the thermostat display shows gives us a much clearer starting point than the symptom alone. We will ask those questions on the call, so you do not need to have the answers ready in advance.
Yes. Landlords and property managers can pass our number to tenants for direct calls about heating and cooling problems. We are available every day from 9 AM to 10 PM. If the booking or invoice needs to go through the owner or agent rather than the tenant, confirm that on the call and we will handle it accordingly.
Call (256) 649-2428 as soon as the report comes in and describe what the tenant has observed.
We'll ask the right questions on the call to scope the problem and confirm what the visit covers before it's scheduled. Occupied properties without heating or cooling are treated as priority calls during our daily hours of 9 AM to 10 PM. Getting the diagnosis started quickly is the most useful first step.
Yes, for most homes in this region. Winters here are mild enough that a heat pump handles the heating load efficiently without backup resistance heat running constantly. The same system covers cooling through the summer, which makes it a reasonable replacement path for an aging furnace-and-AC setup. We'll walk through the sizing and the cost comparison on the call before anything is scheduled.
If the system is struggling, the right move is a diagnosis before a replacement quote. A component that looks like a failed system from the outside is sometimes a failed capacitor on the inside, and those are very different conversations.
Call (256) 649-2428 and describe what the system is doing.
We'll work through it on the phone, confirm what the visit covers, and get the price agreed before anything is ordered or replaced.
Close by, we also take heating and cooling work in: Fayetteville, Hazel Green, Meridianville, Moores Mill, Pulaski.
Below is a full look at the heating and cooling work we handle for homes and businesses across Park City and Lincoln County. Every service starts the same way: you call, we talk through what the system is doing, and you get a price before anything is scheduled. Whether the job is a straightforward repair or a full system replacement, the work gets explained at every step.
| HVAC Service | Scope of Work | Best For | What to Keep in Mind |
|---|---|---|---|
| Seasonal Maintenance & Tune-Ups | Coil cleaning, Refrigerant level check, Blower and filter inspection, Electrical connection review | Homeowners who want to catch problems before the peak heating or cooling season begins | A pre-summer AC check and a pre-winter furnace inspection are the two most practical ways to avoid a mid-season breakdown. |
| Full System Installation & Replacement | Load and sizing assessment, Old unit removal, New system installation, Full operational test run | Homeowners replacing an aging or repeatedly failing system, or upgrading to more efficient equipment | Correct sizing matters as much as equipment quality. An oversized or undersized unit creates comfort and efficiency problems regardless of brand. |
| Ductwork Repair & Sealing | Duct system inspection, Leak location, Sealing or section replacement, Airflow balance check | Homes with uneven room temperatures, high energy bills, or hot and cold spots that persist after equipment service | Leaking ducts push conditioned air into attics and crawl spaces before it reaches the living area. Sealing them often improves comfort more than adjusting the equipment. |
