About Tullahoma
Your Local Tullahoma HVAC Experts
Living in Tullahoma means dealing with Tennessee's humid summers and unpredictable winters. When you're this close to Arnold Air Force Base and surrounded by the beautiful hills of Coffee County, you need an HVAC system that works reliably year-round. That's where we come in.
Giddy Up isn't one of those big national chains that treats you like a number. We're your neighbors here in Middle Tennessee, based right nearby in Decherd. When you call us, you're getting a local team that knows Tullahoma homes inside and out. We know the challenges of older homes downtown around the square, the newer developments off North Jackson Street, and everything in between.
Why Tullahoma Homeowners Choose Giddy Up
We're Local—And We Mean It
You've probably seen our trucks around town—maybe at the Walmart Supercenter on North Jackson, or grabbing coffee at Beans Creek Coffee Roasters downtown. We live and work in this community. Our families are here. When your heater goes out at midnight on a January night, we're not driving in from Nashville or Chattanooga—we're right here in Coffee County, ready to help.
30+ Years of Middle Tennessee Experience
We've been doing this for over three decades. That means we've worked on every type of HVAC system imaginable—from the historic homes around the downtown square to brand-new construction out near Tullahoma Regional Airport. We've seen every problem, fixed every issue, and we know how to get it right the first time.
Transparent Pricing You Can Trust
Nobody likes surprise bills. Before we start any work, you'll know exactly what it costs. If we discover additional issues during service, we'll explain what they are, why they matter, and what it'll cost to address them. Then you decide how to proceed. No pressure tactics, no hidden fees, no games.
Complete HVAC Services for Tullahoma Homes
Heating Services
Winter in Tullahoma can get cold fast. When temperatures drop and that wind comes whipping across Coffee 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 not keeping your home warm? It might be time for a replacement. We'll help you choose the right furnace for your Tullahoma home's size and insulation level, and we'll install it properly so it runs efficiently for 15-20 years.
Modern furnaces are incredibly efficient—often 95% AFUE or higher, compared to 60-70% for older units. That means more of your heating dollars actually heat your home instead of going up the chimney.
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 Tullahoma's mild winters and hot summers, heat pumps can cut your energy bills significantly compared to electric resistance heating or old furnaces.
We install top brands and size systems properly so they perform efficiently. An oversized heat pump cycles on and off too frequently, wasting energy and wearing out faster. An undersized system runs constantly and can't keep up on the coldest or hottest days. We get the sizing right.
Emergency Heating Repair
Heating emergencies never happen at convenient times. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Tullahoma and all of Coffee County. Christmas morning, Super Bowl Sunday, 3 AM on a Tuesday—whenever 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, a working air conditioner isn't a luxury—it's essential for your family's health and safety, especially for young children and elderly family members.
AC Installation & Replacement
If your AC is over 12 years old, struggling to keep up with Tullahoma's summer heat, or driving up your electric bills, it's probably time to upgrade. Modern air conditioners are way more efficient than units from even 10 years ago.
We'll calculate the right size for your home's square footage, insulation level, window orientation, and other factors. 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 maintenance, 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 Tullahoma homeowners don't realize: your crawl space directly affects your entire home's comfort, energy efficiency, and air quality. That musty smell? That's not just unpleasant—it's impacting the air you breathe and making your HVAC system work harder.
Crawl Space Encapsulation
Coffee County's humid climate is tough on crawl spaces. Moisture gets in, wood rots, insulation falls down, and mold grows. Up to 50% of the air in your home comes from your crawl space, so whatever's down there is affecting your indoor air quality.
crawl space encapsulation seals everything up 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 Tullahoma—from older homes downtown to newer builds near the airport.
The benefits are dramatic:
- Lower humidity throughout your home
- Better indoor air quality (no more musty smells)
- Lower energy bills (less air leakage and moisture)
- Protected wood 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 Tullahoma 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, 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, construction debris, and other particles 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 or if you have pets.
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 and floors
- More comfortable sleep

What Makes Tennessee HVAC Different?
If you've moved to Tullahoma from up north or out west, you might notice HVAC challenges you didn't deal with before:
Humidity Is Your Real Challenge
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 feeling 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
Coffee 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.
Emergency HVAC Service in Tullahoma
HVAC emergencies don't follow a schedule. Your heater doesn't care that it's Thanksgiving. Your AC doesn't care that it's Saturday night. That's why we offer 24/7 emergency service to Tullahoma and all of Coffee 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
Money-Saving Maintenance Plans
The best way to avoid expensive HVAC emergencies? Regular maintenance. Our maintenance plans are designed for Tullahoma 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.
Frequently Asked Questions from Tullahoma Homeowners
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 dogs or cats, change it monthly. If you live alone with no pets, every 3 months might be fine. Basic filters cost a few dollars—this is the easiest maintenance you can do to keep your system running well.
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. Good credit, bad credit, we have options.
What size HVAC system do I need?
It depends on many factors: square footage, insulation levels, window sizes and orientation, ceiling height, home construction type, and more. We do a proper load calculation (called a Manual J calculation) to determine the right size. Never let anyone quote you a new system without doing this calculation first—it's critical for efficiency and comfort.
Why Tullahoma Residents Trust Giddy Up
Don't just take our word for it—ask your neighbors. We've built our reputation one satisfied customer at a time here in Tullahoma and Coffee County. You'll find our reviews online, but better yet, ask around. Chances are someone on your street or at your church has used us and can tell you about their experience.
Local Knowledge Matters
We know Tullahoma. We know that older homes downtown often have undersized ductwork or outdated electrical panels. We know that homes in certain areas deal with foundation movement from clay soil. We know which neighborhoods have particularly hard water. 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.
