When you need reliable HVAC services in Shelbyville, TN, you need a company that understands Middle Tennessee's unique climate challenges. Giddy Up Heating Cooling Crawlspace has been keeping Shelbyville homes and businesses comfortable for over 30 years. Known as the Tennessee Walking Horse Capital, Shelbyville deserves top-quality HVAC service.

Living in Shelbyville means dealing with Tennessee's humid summers and unpredictable winters. Whether you're in the historic downtown near the Bedford County Courthouse, in one of the neighborhoods around Celebration, or anywhere in Bedford County, you need an HVAC system that works reliably year-round.

Giddy Up isn't one of those big national chains that treats customers like numbers. We're your neighbors here in Middle Tennessee, based nearby in Decherd. When you call us, you're getting a local team that knows Shelbyville homes inside and out—from older homes downtown to newer developments off Madison Street and Highway 231.

Why Shelbyville Homeowners Choose Giddy Up

We're Local—And Proud of It

You've probably seen our trucks around town—maybe at the Walmart on North Brittain Street, grabbing lunch at Miller's Bar-B-Q, or shopping at Kroger. We live and work in this community. Our kids might go to school with yours at Shelbyville Central or Community High. When your heater goes out at midnight in January, we're not driving in from Nashville—we're right here in Bedford County, ready to help.

30+ Years of Middle Tennessee Experience

Three decades of experience means we've seen every HVAC problem imaginable. We've worked on historic homes around the square, horse farm properties throughout Bedford County, and everything in between. We know how to diagnose problems quickly and fix them right the first time.

Transparent Pricing, No Games

Before we start any work, you'll know exactly what it costs. No hidden fees, no surprise charges. If we discover additional issues during service, we'll explain what they are, why they matter, and what it costs to address them. Then you decide how to proceed. No pressure tactics.

Heating Services

Winter in Shelbyville can get cold fast. When temperatures drop and that wind comes across Bedford County, you need reliable heating. 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 not 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 furnace for your Shelbyville home's size and insulation level, and we'll install it properly so it runs reliably for 15-20 years. Proper installation is critical—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 your home in winter and cool it in summer, all while using less energy than traditional systems. For Shelbyville's mild winters and hot summers, heat pumps can significantly cut your energy bills.

We size systems properly. An oversized heat pump cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and wearing out components faster. An undersized system runs constantly and can't keep up on the coldest or hottest days. We calculate the right size for your specific home.

Emergency Heating Repair

Heating emergencies never happen at convenient times. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Shelbyville and all of Bedford County. Whether it's Christmas morning, Super Bowl Sunday, or 3 AM on a Tuesday, when your heat fails, we'll get someone to your home fast.

We keep our trucks fully stocked with common parts, so most repairs can be completed on the first visit. No waiting days for parts while your family shivers.

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, especially for young children, elderly family members, and anyone with health conditions.

AC Installation & Replacement

If your AC is over 12 years old, struggling to keep up with Shelbyville's summer heat, 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, ductwork condition, and more. Proper sizing is critical. An oversized AC cools quickly but doesn't run long enough to remove humidity, leaving your home feeling clammy. An undersized AC runs constantly, wears out faster, and can't keep up on the hottest days.

AC Repair & Maintenance

Regular maintenance is the best way to avoid 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 Shelbyville homeowners don't realize: your crawl space directly 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 system work harder.

Crawl Space Encapsulation

Bedford County's humid climate is tough on crawl spaces. Moisture gets in, wood rots, insulation sags and 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 on the floor and walls, keeping moisture out and protecting your home's foundation and structure. We've encapsulated crawl spaces all over Shelbyville—from historic homes downtown to newer builds and horse farm properties throughout Bedford County.

The results are dramatic:

• Lower humidity throughout your home
• Better indoor air quality (no more 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 home's foundation, prevents mold and mildew, and gives you usable space instead of a musty storage area you avoid.

Indoor Air Quality Solutions

You probably spend more time inside your Shelbyville home than anywhere else. Shouldn't the air you breathe be as clean as possible?

Air Purification Systems

Modern air purifiers remove allergens, bacteria, viruses, pet dander (important if you have horses or other animals), cooking odors, and other contaminants from your home's air. If anyone in your family has allergies, asthma, or respiratory issues, an air purification system can make a real difference in daily comfort and health.

Duct Cleaning

When's the last time your ductwork was cleaned? If you can't remember, it's been too long. Over time, dust, pet hair, pollen, and other debris build up in your ducts. Every time your HVAC system runs, it blows that stuff around your house.

Professional duct cleaning removes all that built-up debris, improving your air quality and helping your system run more efficiently. It's especially important if you've recently done renovation work, if you have pets, or if you've noticed increased dust in your home.

Whole-Home Dehumidifiers

Tennessee humidity is relentless. Even with your AC running, you might notice that sticky, uncomfortable feeling indoors. A whole-home dehumidifier works with your HVAC system to keep humidity at comfortable levels year-round.

Benefits include:

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

We serve every neighborhood in Shelbyville and the surrounding Bedford County area:

• Downtown Shelbyville near the Bedford County Courthouse
• Areas along Madison Street and North Brittain Street
• Neighborhoods near Shelbyville Central High School
• Properties along Highway 231 and Highway 64
• New developments throughout Bedford County
• Horse farms and rural properties
• Communities including Wartrace, Bell Buckle, and Normandy

Whether you're in a historic home downtown, a ranch from the 60s or 70s, a horse farm property, or a brand-new build, we have the expertise to handle your HVAC needs.

If you've moved to Shelbyville from up north or out west, you might notice HVAC challenges you didn't deal with before:

Humidity Is Your Real Enemy

It's not just the heat—it's the humidity. That's why proper AC sizing and dehumidification are critical here. An oversized AC cools fast but doesn't run long enough to remove humidity, leaving your home uncomfortable even when it's technically cool. We size systems properly for both cooling AND humidity control.

Hard Water and Mineral Buildup

Middle Tennessee has hard water, which causes mineral buildup in HVAC components over time, especially condensate drains and evaporator coils. Regular maintenance helps prevent these issues from causing system failures.

Clay Soil and Foundation Movement

Bedford County's clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry. This constant movement can affect your home's foundation and, by extension, your ductwork connections. We check for these issues during service calls and can address them before they cause major problems.

Pollen and Allergens

Tennessee's long growing season means months of pollen from trees, grasses, and weeds. Good air filtration and regular filter changes are essential for people with allergies. We can recommend the right filters for your needs—from basic filters for dust to HEPA filters for severe allergies.

HVAC emergencies don't follow a schedule. Your heater doesn't care that it's Thanksgiving or the night before the Tennessee Walking Horse Celebration. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Shelbyville and all of Bedford County.

When you call our emergency line, you'll talk to a real person (not voicemail), and we'll dispatch someone to your home as quickly as possible. We keep trucks stocked with common parts so most repairs can be done on the first visit.

Common HVAC emergencies we handle:

• No heat during winter cold snaps
• AC failure during summer heat waves
• Strange smells (burning, gas, or chemical odors)
• Unusual sounds (grinding, squealing, or banging)
• Gas leaks (call immediately—this is dangerous)
• Water leaking from HVAC equipment
• Thermostat malfunctions
• System won't turn on or cycles constantly

The best way to avoid expensive HVAC emergencies? Regular maintenance. Our maintenance plans are designed for Shelbyville homeowners who want to protect their HVAC investment and avoid unexpected breakdowns.

What's Included:

• Spring AC tune-up before summer heat
• Fall heating system check before winter
• Priority scheduling (you get first dibs on appointments)
• Discounts on repairs (typically 15% off)
• Extended parts and labor warranties
• No overtime charges on nights and weekends
• Members-only special offers

The small annual cost is way less than one emergency repair call. Plus, regular maintenance extends your system's life by years and keeps it running efficiently, saving you money on energy bills.

How often should I replace my air filter?

Check it monthly. If it looks dirty, replace it. Most homes should change filters every 1-3 months depending on pets, allergies, and system usage. If you have horses or other animals, you might need to change it more frequently due to increased dust and dander. Basic filters are inexpensive—this is the easiest maintenance you can do.

What temperature should I set my thermostat?

In summer, 78 degrees when you're home is a good balance of comfort and efficiency. In winter, 68-70 degrees is comfortable for most people. Every degree cooler in summer (or warmer in winter) adds about 3% to your energy bill. Use programmable thermostats to automatically adjust when you're away or sleeping.

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 and frequent use can be hard on AC units, so regular maintenance is key to reaching the upper end of that range. Heat pumps typically last 12-15 years with good maintenance.

Is it worth repairing my old system, or should I replace it?

If your system is over 12 years old and needs a major repair (compressor, heat exchanger, major refrigerant leak, etc.), replacement usually makes more financial sense. Newer systems are so much more efficient that the energy savings help offset the replacement cost. We'll always give you honest advice on repair vs. replacement.

Why is my electric bill so high?

Several possibilities: old inefficient HVAC system, poor insulation, air leaks around windows and doors, dirty air filters, improperly sized system running constantly, or leaky ductwork. We can do a home energy assessment to identify the culprit and recommend solutions.

Do you offer financing?

Yes! We work with several financing companies to offer flexible payment plans for new system installations and major repairs. Don't suffer with a broken system because you're worried about the cost—call us and we'll work something out. We have options for various credit situations.

Don't just take our word for it—ask your neighbors. We've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time here in Shelbyville and Bedford County. You'll find our reviews online, but better yet, ask around. Chances are someone on your street, at your church, or at the horse farm down the road has used us and can tell you about their experience.

Local Knowledge Matters

We know Shelbyville. We know that older homes downtown often have undersized ductwork or outdated electrical panels. We know that some areas deal with foundation movement from clay soil. We know the unique challenges of heating and cooling horse farm buildings and homes. This local knowledge helps us diagnose problems faster and recommend the right solutions the first time.

Honest Recommendations

We'll never recommend a full system replacement when a repair will do. We'll never try to sell you features you don't need just to pad the bill. If your system has a few good years left, we'll tell you. If it's on its last legs and replacement makes financial sense, we'll explain why. You make the final decision—we just provide honest information so you can make a smart choice.

Quality Work, Fair Prices

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