Frequently Asked Questions
Short answers about air conditioners that stop cooling in Bartlett, how calls are connected to independent contractors, Tennessee licensing rules and what happens to your information. Prices are set by contractors after diagnosis, so none are listed.
Why is my AC running but not cooling my Bartlett home?
Possible causes include a dirty filter, restricted airflow, a frozen coil, low refrigerant from a leak or a failed electrical part. Check the thermostat setting and the filter first; if cooling does not return, a diagnosis finds the actual cause.
What should I do if my AC suddenly blows warm air?
Confirm the thermostat is on Cool and set below room temperature, check the filter and make sure vents are open. If it still blows warm air, or you see ice, smell burning or hear unusual noises, turn it off and call.
How much does AC not cooling repair cost in Bartlett, TN?
It depends on the diagnosis, parts, labor, equipment type and repair complexity. This site does not publish prices. Ask the contractor about the diagnostic charge and an itemized estimate before approving work.
Can I keep running my AC if the indoor coil is frozen?
It is safer to turn cooling off if you see ice on the coil or lines, because running it can strain the system. Melting the ice does not fix the cause, so have it checked before using the AC again.
Can't the technician just add refrigerant?
Adding refrigerant without repairing a confirmed leak is not a lasting fix, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The leak should be located and repaired, and the work must be done by an EPA Section 608 certified technician.
Can I replace an AC capacitor myself?
This site does not recommend it. Capacitors can hold a dangerous electrical charge even with the power off. Leave testing and replacement to a qualified technician.
Who will I be talking to when I call?
Your call is connected to an independent HVAC contractor or partner network serving your area. This website is a referral service operated by Silvano Para and does not perform HVAC work. Calls may be recorded.
Is a license required for AC repair in Tennessee?
HVAC projects of $25,000 or more need a state contractor license (CMC-C or CMC). Smaller jobs are regulated by local licensing and permits. Ask any contractor about their licensing, permits and insurance.
Do you cover Lakeland, Arlington, Cordova and Eads?
Calls are accepted from Bartlett and from Lakeland, Arlington, Cordova and Eads. Whether a contractor can take your job depends on your address and their schedule.
Can I request a callback instead of calling?
Yes. The Request a Callback form is below the phone number. Calling connects you directly with a contractor; the form sends your request to Silvano Para, who may share it with a contractor.
Homeowners: please call if you own the home and make the decisions about repairs. Calls about billing or an existing appointment cannot be handled here.
