Although the winters in Nashville aren’t quite the bone-chilling affairs of cities like Minneapolis or Boston, they’re cold enough for us to need to have heating systems working regularly to warm our homes. With regular use comes the possibility of a heating system that malfunctions, either working poorly or not working at all.

But it helps to know what you’re dealing with so you can react quickly to problems. The sooner you get our team on the job, the easier and smaller the repair will likely be! Here are five common heating problems that may affect your winter comfort.
The miracle of the heat pump is that it works as both a heating and cooling system. It’s not really a “miracle,” but based on the simple principle that if you take an air conditioner and find a way to reverse the way it moves heat, it can provide either heating or cooling. An air conditioner uses refrigerant to draw heat from inside the house and releases it outside, cooling down the interior of the house. A heat pump goes a step further: it can change the direction the refrigerant flows so that it draws heat from outside the house and releases it inside, warming up the house.
What size HVAC units does your business need for proper operation and maximum energy efficiency? Don’t worry if you can’t answer that question immediately, or if you’re not certain what we mean by the “size” of the HVAC units. When it comes to finding the correct commercial HVAC installation in Nashville, TN, you’ll always want to rely on professionals who can answer these questions.
What we want to explain in this post is the importance of commercial HVAC unit sizing, starting with what it is.
We’re not done with the hot weather, but it’s almost fall and we can expect to see temperatures begin to drop. The approach of cooler weather can sometimes make people feel a bit complacent about their air conditioning systems.
If your AC starts to show signs it’s struggling to keep up, or if it makes odd sounds, you may feel like ignoring it. It can wait until later—the hot weather is almost over.
However, HVAC repair in Nashville, TN is important no matter the time of year it occurs and no matter how “minor” this issue appears. We’re going to look at the reasons why you don’t want to leave your AC with a lingering repair issue at the end of the summer season.
You can expect your air conditioning system to run more often when the outdoor temperature rises. But there’s a difference between an AC running often because it’s needed and running almost all the time. Air conditioning systems are designed to work in cooling cycles that continue until the thermostat has registered that the AC has hit the target temperature on the thermostat, after which the unit will cycle down for a stretch. Most cooling cycles will last 10 to 15 minutes, with a similar period in between cycles.
If your AC is running much longer than 15 minutes and seems to be on most of the time (often leading to a house that’s too cool even for a hot day), then you likely have a malfunctioning system. The AC may be in danger of a full breakdown, and you’ll also face extremely high energy bills from all the extra time the air conditioner is blasting away.
Sometimes there is a simple explanation. In other situations, you’ll need to schedule air conditioner repair in Nashville with professionals.
Your air conditioning system can experience “breathing problems.” Much of the AC’s successful operation at keeping your home cool is based on its ability to circulate air—drawing air from the house through return air ducts, cooling it, and then blowing it into supply air ducts to the room. If your AC struggles to do this, it will result in a lower volume of cooled air and less air sent to the rooms. Obviously, This Is Not Good when it comes to your comfort.
So you’ve got a “wheezing” AC on your hands. What’s causing it, and what can you do about it? Below, we’ll examine these questions about poor airflow from an AC and help you identify when you need AC repair in Nashville, TN.
Do air conditioning systems help with the humidity in a home? This is a common question that people ask HVAC technicians, and it’s especially a concern in Nashville because it can get quite humid during the summer. High humidity doesn’t raise the temperature on a hot day, but it does make it harder for people’s bodies to cool off, and this can mean the indoor temperature can feel 8° to 10° hotter than it is. Not fun!
So, does the AC provide any help in controlling this, aside from lowering the actual indoor temperature? We’ll talk about this below as well as look into a possible solution, installing a dehumidifier in Nashville, TN.
One of the major innovations in heating and air conditioning in homes and commercial buildings is the ductless mini split heat pump. This isn’t a new innovation: ductless units have been popular for decades in Japan. Now they’ve spread through Europe and are making an impact in the US.
If you’re looking into HVAC systems for a home, then you may wish to think about ductless systems in Nashville, TN. The best way to find out if going ductless is right for your situation is to work with our professionals. We can give you some of the basics below that will get you started thinking about whether you can make use of a ductless HVAC system.
Although the thermostat is physically one of the smallest components of your home’s HVAC system, it wields a great deal of power. It’s the point where you communicate with your comfort system and set programming, and it’s also the temperature sensor the HVAC system uses to analyze temperature levels in the home so it will activate heating, cooling, and the fan at the appropriate times.
Thermostat can malfunction or be poorly installed, creating troubles like discomfort and larger energy bills. We’ll take a look at several of the most common thermostat problems you may encounter. We’re here to help with any thermostat problems you may have, and we can install the newest Wi-Fi and smart thermostats in Nashville for your house.
