Complete HVAC Services for Decherd Homes

Heating Services

Decherd winters can get cold, especially when that wind comes across Franklin County. You need heating you can count on. We install, repair, and maintain all types of heating systems:

Furnace Installation & Replacement

Is your furnace over 15 years old? Making strange noises? Running constantly but barely keeping your home warm? It might be time for a replacement. Modern furnaces are incredibly efficient—95% AFUE or higher, compared to 60-70% for older units.

We'll help you choose the right size for your Decherd home and install it properly so it runs reliably for 15-20 years. Proper installation matters—even the best furnace won't perform well if it's installed incorrectly.

Heat Pump Systems

Heat pumps are perfect for Middle Tennessee's climate. They heat in winter and cool in summer, all while using less energy than traditional systems. For Decherd's mild winters and hot summers, heat pumps can significantly cut your energy bills.

We size systems properly—oversized units waste energy cycling on and off, while undersized units run constantly and can't keep up. We do it right.

Emergency Heating Repair

Heating emergencies never happen at convenient times. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Decherd and all of Franklin County. Christmas morning, New Year's Eve, 3 AM on a Tuesday—whenever your heat fails, we'll get to your home fast. Being based right here in Decherd means we can respond faster than any other company.

We keep our trucks fully stocked with common parts, so most repairs can be completed on the first visit.

Air Conditioning Services

Tennessee summers are brutal. When it's 95 degrees with 80% humidity, air conditioning isn't a luxury—it's essential for your family's health and safety.

AC Installation & Replacement

If your AC is over 12 years old, struggling to keep up, or driving up your electric bills, it's probably time to upgrade. Modern air conditioners are far more efficient than older units—often 16-20 SEER compared to 8-10 SEER for units from the early 2000s.

We calculate the right size for your home by considering square footage, insulation level, window sizes and orientation, ceiling height, and more. Proper sizing is critical. An oversized AC cools fast but doesn't run long enough to remove humidity, leaving your home feeling clammy even when cool. An undersized AC runs constantly, wears out faster, and can't keep up on the hottest days.

AC Repair & Maintenance

Regular maintenance prevents expensive breakdowns. We recommend annual AC tune-ups each spring before summer heat arrives. During a maintenance visit, we:

  • Clean evaporator and condenser coils for maximum efficiency
  • Check and adjust refrigerant levels
  • Test electrical connections and components
  • Inspect and clean condensate drain lines
  • Check thermostat calibration
  • Test system operation and airflow
  • Catch small problems before they become expensive failures

Think of AC maintenance like changing your car's oil—a small investment now prevents major expenses later.

Crawl Space & Basement Solutions

Here's something many Decherd homeowners don't realize: your crawl space affects your entire home's comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality. That musty smell? It's not just unpleasant—it's affecting the air you breathe and making your HVAC work harder.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Franklin County's humid climate is tough on crawl spaces. Moisture gets in, wood rots, insulation falls, mold grows. Up to 50% of the air in your home comes from your crawl space, so whatever's down there is circulating through your living space.

crawl space encapsulation seals everything with a heavy-duty vapor barrier, keeping moisture out and protecting your home's structure. We've encapsulated crawl spaces all over Decherd—we know the local soil conditions, drainage patterns, and construction methods used here.

The results are dramatic:

  • Lower humidity throughout your home
  • Better indoor air quality (goodbye musty smells)
  • Lower energy bills (less air leakage and moisture)
  • Protected floor joists and structures (no more rot or mold)
  • Increased home value
  • Warmer floors in winter

Basement Waterproofing

Got a damp basement? Water seeping in during heavy rains? We can fix that. Basement waterproofing protects your foundation, prevents mold and mildew, and gives you usable space instead of a damp storage area.

Indoor Air Quality Solutions

You spend most of your time inside your Decherd home. Shouldn't the air you breathe be as clean as possible?

Air Purification Systems

Modern air purifiers remove allergens, bacteria, viruses, pet dander, cooking odors, and other contaminants. If anyone in your family has allergies or asthma, an air purification system can make a real difference in daily comfort and health.

Duct Cleaning

When's the last time your ducts were cleaned? Over time, dust, pet hair, pollen, and debris build up in ductwork. Every time your system runs, it circulates that stuff through your house. Professional duct cleaning removes built-up debris, improving air quality and system efficiency.

Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

Tennessee humidity is relentless. Even with AC running, you might feel that sticky discomfort. A whole-home dehumidifier works with your HVAC system to keep humidity comfortable year-round.

Benefits:

  • Your home feels cooler at higher thermostat settings (save money)
  • Less mold and mildew growth
  • Better air quality
  • Protected wood furniture and floors
  • More comfortable sleep

What Makes Tennessee HVAC Different?

Humidity Is the Real Challenge

It's not just heat—it's humidity. Proper AC sizing and dehumidification are critical. An oversized AC cools fast but doesn't run long enough to remove humidity. We size systems for both cooling AND humidity control.

Hard Water Issues

Franklin County has hard water, causing mineral buildup in HVAC components over time. Regular maintenance prevents these issues from causing failures.

Clay Soil and Foundation Movement

Franklin County's clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry, affecting foundations and ductwork connections. We know exactly which Decherd neighborhoods deal with this most and check for these issues during every service call.

Pollen and Allergens

Tennessee's long growing season means months of pollen. Good filtration and regular filter changes are essential for allergy sufferers.

Emergency HVAC Service in Decherd

HVAC emergencies don't follow schedules. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Decherd and all of Franklin County.

When you call our emergency line, you'll talk to a real person (not voicemail), and we'll get to your home fast—really fast, since we're based right here in town. We keep trucks stocked with common parts so most repairs are completed on the first visit.

Common emergencies we handle:

  • No heat during winter
  • AC failure during summer heat
  • Strange smells (burning, gas, chemical odors)
  • Unusual sounds (grinding, squealing, banging)
  • Gas leaks (call immediately—dangerous)
  • Water leaking from equipment
  • Thermostat malfunctions
  • System cycling constantly

  • Spring AC tune-up before summer

The annual cost is far less than one emergency repair. Plus, maintenance extends your system's life and keeps it running efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions from Decherd Homeowners

How often should I replace my air filter?

Check it monthly. Replace when dirty. Most homes need new filters every 1-3 months depending on pets, allergies, and usage. With pets, change monthly. Basic filters are cheap—don't skip this easy maintenance.

What temperature should I set my thermostat?

Summer: 78 degrees when home is a good balance. Winter: 68-70 degrees is comfortable. Every degree cooler in summer (or warmer in winter) adds about 3% to your energy bill.

How long do HVAC systems last in Tennessee?

With proper maintenance, expect 12-15 years for AC units and 15-20 years for furnaces. Tennessee's humidity is hard on AC units, so maintenance is key.

Should I repair or replace my old system?

If your system is over 12 years old and needs major repair (compressor, heat exchanger, etc.), replacement usually makes more financial sense. Newer systems are so efficient the energy savings help offset replacement cost.

Why is my electric bill so high?

Possible causes: old inefficient system, poor insulation, air leaks, dirty filters, improperly sized system, or leaky ductwork. We can do an energy assessment to identify the problem.

Do you offer financing?

Yes! We work with financing companies to offer flexible payment plans for new installations and major repairs. Don't suffer with a broken system—call us and we'll work something out.

Why Decherd Residents Trust Giddy Up

You don't have to just take our word for it—ask your neighbors. Ask around at Food City, church, or Franklin County High events. We've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time right here in our hometown.

Local Knowledge Matters

We know Decherd better than any other HVAC company because this is our home. We know which neighborhoods were built when, which have foundation issues, which have undersized ductwork.

Quality Work, Fair Prices

We're not the cheapest, and we don't try to be. We use quality parts, hire experienced technicians, carry proper insurance, and stand behind our work. But we're not the most expensive either. We believe in fair pricing for quality work. No gimmicks, no high-pressure sales—just honest service for our neighbors.
