About Sewanee

When you need reliable HVAC services in Sewanee, TN, you need a company that understands mountain climate challenges.

Your Local Sewanee HVAC Experts

Living in Sewanee means living atop the beautiful Cumberland Plateau at 2,000 feet elevation. The University of the South (affectionately known as Sewanee) anchors this special community, and the cooler mountain climate brings unique HVAC challenges you won't find down in the valley.

Whether you're near the university, out in the Domain, or anywhere in this unique mountain community, Giddy Up has been your trusted HVAC partner for over three decades.

Why Sewanee Homeowners Choose Giddy Up

We Understand Mountain Climate HVAC

Sewanee's elevation means different HVAC needs than valley towns. Cooler temperatures, higher humidity on foggy days, and unique weather patterns require HVAC systems sized and installed differently than homes at lower elevations.

We've worked on homes throughout Sewanee—from historic properties near the university to newer mountain homes in the Domain. We understand how elevation affects system performance and efficiency.

30+ Years Serving the Plateau

For over three decades, we've been climbing the mountain to serve Sewanee residents. We know University Avenue, we know the Domain, and we know the unique construction styles of Sewanee homes—many built in an era when insulation and energy efficiency weren't priorities.

Transparent Pricing, No Surprises

Before we start any work, you'll know exactly what it costs. If we discover additional issues, we'll explain what they are and what it costs to address them. Then you decide. No pressure, no games.

Complete HVAC Services for Sewanee Homes

Heating Services

Sewanee winters are colder than valley towns due to elevation. When temperatures drop on the mountain, you need reliable heating.

Furnace Installation & Replacement

At 2,000 feet elevation, heating is more critical than in lower areas. Modern furnaces are incredibly efficient—95% AFUE or higher. We'll help you choose the right size for your Sewanee home, accounting for the mountain climate.

Heat Pump Systems

Heat pumps work well in Sewanee's moderate mountain climate, but sizing is critical at this elevation. We account for altitude, average temperatures, and your home's specific needs.

Emergency Heating Repair

Mountain winters can be harsh. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Sewanee. When your heat fails, we'll make the trip up the mountain as quickly as possible, regardless of weather conditions.

Air Conditioning Services

While Sewanee summers are cooler than valley towns, you still need AC for hot days and humidity control.

AC Installation & Replacement

Sewanee's cooler summer temperatures mean your AC requirements differ from lower elevations. Oversizing is a common mistake—contractors from down the mountain often size systems for valley temperatures. We size correctly for Sewanee's actual climate.

AC Repair & Maintenance

Regular maintenance prevents breakdowns. Annual tune-ups ensure your system runs efficiently through Sewanee's summer months.

Crawl Space & Basement Solutions

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Sewanee's elevation and humidity create challenging crawl space conditions. Fog, mountain moisture, and cooler temperatures mean crawl spaces stay damp longer. Encapsulation is especially important here.

We've encapsulated crawl spaces throughout Sewanee—from historic university-area homes to newer Domain properties. The results are dramatic: lower humidity, better air quality, and protected structures.

Basement Waterproofing

Mountain properties often deal with water intrusion. We provide comprehensive waterproofing solutions for Sewanee's unique conditions.

Indoor Air Quality Solutions

Air Purification Systems

Mountain living means pollen from surrounding forests, plus mold spores in humid conditions. Air purification systems make a real difference in Sewanee homes.

Duct Cleaning

Remove accumulated dust, pollen, and debris from your ductwork to improve air quality.

Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

Sewanee's fog and mountain humidity can make homes feel damp even with AC running. Whole-home dehumidifiers keep humidity comfortable year-round.

Serving All of Sewanee and the Domain

We serve the entire Sewanee community:

  • Areas near the University of the South
  • Properties throughout the Domain
  • Homes along University Avenue and Highway 41A
  • Historic homes and newer construction
  • Rural mountain properties

We know Sewanee's unique layout and terrain. Whether you're in a historic home near campus or a newer build in the Domain, we have the mountain-climate HVAC expertise you need.

What Makes Sewanee HVAC Different?

Elevation Matters

At 2,000 feet, Sewanee's climate differs significantly from valley towns. Systems must be sized for cooler temperatures and mountain conditions, not valley specifications.

Humidity and Fog

Mountain fog and higher humidity require better moisture control. Proper dehumidification is essential.

Older Homes with Poor Insulation

Many Sewanee homes are historic with minimal insulation. HVAC systems must compensate for higher heat loss and gain.

Seasonal Temperature Swings

Mountain weather brings greater temperature variations. Systems must handle both cold winters and warm summer days.

Emergency HVAC Service in Sewanee

HVAC emergencies don't follow schedules. We offer 24/7 emergency service to Sewanee, even in challenging mountain weather conditions.

Common emergencies:

  • No heat during cold mountain winters
  • AC failure during summer
  • System malfunctions
  • Gas leaks (dangerous—call immediately)

Frequently Asked Questions from Sewanee Homeowners

Do I need a different size system than valley towns? Yes! Sewanee's elevation and cooler temperatures require different sizing. Many contractors from lower areas oversize systems for Sewanee, causing efficiency problems.

How does elevation affect my HVAC system? Cooler average temperatures mean different heating/cooling loads. Humidity patterns differ. We account for these factors in system design.

How often should I replace my air filter? Check monthly. Mountain pollen and fog moisture can clog filters faster. Replace when dirty.
