Are you licensed and insured?+

Yes. MS Mechanical/Refrigeration #24339-SC, MS Electrical #26772-MC, EPA Section 608 Universal, and licensed in Tennessee. $2M liability · $1M auto. BBB A+ Accredited since 2015.

Do you offer 24/7 service?+

We don't claim 24/7. Our office is open Monday – Friday 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM Central, Saturdays by appointment, and emergency & after-hours service available — call 901-365-2848 and we'll tell you honestly when we can be there.

How does pricing work?+

Flat-rate, in writing, before any work starts. After the diagnostic you approve a written price; there's no hourly meter. Typical ranges are published on every service page and on our pricing guide.

What is the live video walkthrough?+

A free two-way video call from your phone with a comfort advisor. You point your camera at the thermostat, indoor unit, outdoor unit and data plates; we record and transcribe both sides and write an AI summary into your private portal so the technician arrives prepared.

Can I just send photos instead?+

Yes. From your portal you can photograph the outdoor unit, furnace, thermostat and data plate; our system reads brand, model, serial and approximate age so the office can prepare parts and options.

Do you work on all brands?+

Yes — Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, Amana, Mitsubishi and more.

How do I book?+

Schedule online in under a minute (pick a service and an arrival window; a real person confirms), or call the office.

Topic

Air Duct Cleaning

How often should ducts be cleaned?+

Most Mid-South homes benefit every 3–5 years, sooner after a renovation, a pest issue, or if you've moved into a home with unknown history. If you see dust blowing from registers, or allergies flare when the system runs, it's time.

How long does it take?+

A typical single-system home takes 2–4 hours. Larger homes or two-system houses take longer; we'll give you a window when you book.

Do you clean dryer vents too?+

Yes — dryer-vent cleaning is a common add-on and a real fire-safety item. We can do it on the same visit.

HVAC Repair

My AC isn't cooling — can you come today?+

Usually yes. We dispatch same-day across Southaven, Memphis and the metro. Book the first available window online or call and we'll get you on the board.

Will I know the price before you start?+

Always. After the diagnostic you get a flat-rate price in writing and approve it before any repair begins.

Is it worth repairing an older system?+

Rule of thumb: if the repair is more than about half the cost of a new system and the unit is 12+ years old, replacement usually pays back within a few summers. We'll run the real numbers — no pressure.

Topic

HVAC Replacement & Installation

How long does an installation take?+

Most changeouts are one day. Duct modifications or multi-zone mini-splits may run two.

Do you offer financing?+

Financing options are available on qualifying installs — ask during your estimate and we'll walk you through what applies.

Will a video walkthrough speed up my estimate?+

Yes. A 10-minute live video walkthrough of your equipment, attic and registers lets us arrive with the right options already prepared.

Heating & Furnace Service

Do you check for carbon monoxide?+

Topic

Preventative Maintenance Plans

How much does a plan cost?+

Residential plans start around $189 per year for a single system. Your exact price is confirmed after we review your equipment — no surprise charges.

Is it worth it?+

Most members think so: two tune-ups a year keep systems efficient and catch small problems early, and the 10% repair discount plus no-overtime billing usually pays for the plan the first time something needs attention.

Can I cancel?+

Plans renew annually and you can cancel before renewal. We'd rather keep you because the service is worth it than lock you in.

Topic

Indoor Air Quality

Which is better, a purifier or duct cleaning?+

They solve different problems. Cleaning removes what's already in the ducts; filtration and purification keep new particles from recirculating. Often the honest answer is: clean first, then upgrade the filter.

Topic

Southaven, MS

Do you serve all of Southaven, including 38672?+

Yes. 38671 and 38672 are both home ZIPs for us. Greenbrook, Central Park, Cherry Tree Park, Snowden Grove and the newer subdivisions off Getwell Rd are on our daily routes.

How fast can you get to my house in Southaven?+

Same-day on most weekdays. The shop is on Town and Country Dr near Stateline Rd, so a Southaven call is usually slotted between nearby jobs. Emergency and after-hours service is available; we do not claim 24/7 coverage because we would rather be honest about the schedule.

What does a repair visit cost?+

The diagnostic is $89 to $129 and is applied to the repair if you go ahead. Common repairs such as a capacitor, contactor, motor or thermostat run $150 to $650; refrigerant leak repair, recharge or compressor work runs $350 to $2,400. You get the flat-rate number in writing before we start.

How much is duct cleaning for a typical Southaven home?+

A single-system home with up to about 12 registers runs $399 to $699. Dryer-vent cleaning on the same visit is $129 to $199. Two-system homes are quoted up front.

Are you licensed in Mississippi?+

Yes. We hold Mississippi Mechanical/Refrigeration license #24339-SC and Mississippi Electrical license #26772-MC, plus EPA Section 608, and we have been in business since 2011 with a BBB A+ rating since 2015.

Do I need a permit to replace my AC in Southaven?+

For a full system change-out or a gas furnace replacement, typically yes. The City of Southaven Building Department issues it and we pull it as the licensed contractor. A like-for-like part repair does not need one.

Topic

Olive Branch, MS

Do you come out to Olive Branch the same day?+

Most weekdays, yes. We run Goodman Rd east every working day and Olive Branch is about 20 to 25 minutes from the shop. Book the first open window online or call 901-365-2848 and we will put you on the board.

Do you cover the east side near the Marshall County line?+

Yes. All of 38654 is in our footprint, including the Center Hill side and the newer subdivisions toward the county line. Drive time is a few minutes longer, which is the only difference.

My neighbor's AC died and mine is the same age. Should I replace now?+

Not automatically. If a repair is less than about half the cost of a new system and the unit is under 12 years old, repair usually wins. If it is 12-plus years old and the repair is a compressor or coil, replacement often pays back within a few summers. Installed systems run $6,500 to $18,000 depending on size and efficiency; the in-home estimate is free.

Do Northcentral Electric customers get rebates?+

Northcentral is a TVA local power company, so TVA EnergyRight rebates on qualifying heat pumps, duct sealing and tune-ups can apply when the work is done by a Quality Contractor Network member. Terms depend on the co-op's participation, so confirm with Northcentral before you commit to equipment.

What does duct cleaning cost in Olive Branch?+

Whole-home source removal on a single-system house with up to about 12 registers is $399 to $699; two-system homes are quoted before we start. Dryer-vent cleaning on the same visit is $129 to $199.

Who pulls the permit for a new furnace?+

We do. The City of Olive Branch Building Department issues mechanical permits inside the city and the work is inspected; we are the licensed contractor of record and handle the application.

Horn Lake, MS

Is all of Horn Lake in your service area?+

Yes. 38637 is covered end to end, from DeSoto Village and the Hwy 51 corridor to Willow Point and Nicole Place on the south and west sides.

How fast can you get here?+

Same-day on most weekdays. Horn Lake is about 10 to 15 minutes from the shop, so it is usually the next stop after a Southaven call. Emergency and after-hours service is available.

Is duct cleaning worth it on a 1970s house?+

Often, yes, and sometimes more than on a newer house. Decades of owners, pets and renovations leave a lot in the runs. We put a camera in first and show you; if the ducts are clean we say so. A single-system home runs $399 to $699.

What will a repair cost?+

Diagnostic is $89 to $129, applied to the repair. Common parts like a capacitor, contactor, motor or thermostat run $150 to $650; refrigerant or compressor work runs $350 to $2,400. Flat-rate, in writing, before we start.

Hernando, MS

Which Hernando ZIP codes do you serve?+

38632, which covers the city and most of the surrounding area. Nesbit (38651) and Lewisburg (38680) ride on the same DeSoto routes.

Can you clean ducts in an older house with crawlspace ductwork?+

Yes. Crawlspace runs are accessed from the registers and the air handler the same way, and we put the system under negative pressure so debris leaves the house. We also report anything we find that needs sealing. Single-system homes run $399 to $699.

My house is only a few years old. Is a tune-up worth it?+

A new system is the cheapest time to start. Comfort Club plans start around $189 per year per system and include a spring cooling and fall heating tune-up, priority scheduling, 10 percent off repairs and no overtime charges.

How quickly can you get to Hernando?+

Same-day on most weekdays; the run down I-55 is about 15 to 20 minutes. Emergency and after-hours service is available.

What do repairs cost?+

Topic

Nesbit & Lewisburg, MS

Which ZIP codes does this page cover?+

38651 (Nesbit) and 38680 (Lewisburg). Addresses that fall inside the Hernando or Southaven city limits are covered too; we do not split hairs on the boundary.

Do you really come out to Lewisburg, or just Nesbit?+

Both. Lewisburg is on the same loop as Olive Branch and Hernando, so we are in the area most weekdays. Drive time from the shop is roughly 20 to 25 minutes.

What does a ductless mini-split cost for a bonus room or shop?+

Installed single-zone to multi-zone mini-splits run $3,800 to $12,000 depending on the number of heads and the run lengths. The in-home estimate is free and we will tell you if a duct extension is the better buy.

My heat pump blows cool air in winter. Is it broken?+

Not necessarily. Heat pumps deliver air that feels cooler than a gas furnace, and a defrost cycle briefly blows cool air on purpose. If the house is not holding temperature or the bill jumps, the auxiliary heat may be doing all the work and the diagnostic ($89 to $129, applied to the repair) will tell us why.

Are you licensed in Mississippi?+

Yes, Mississippi Mechanical/Refrigeration #24339-SC and Electrical #26772-MC, EPA Section 608, BBB A+ since 2015.

Same-day windows on most weekdays. We are in Shelby County every working day, so a Memphis call is added to that day's route rather than scheduled as a separate trip. Emergency and after-hours service is available.

I have two systems. If one fails, do I replace both?+

My 1970s ranch is on its third AC. Repair or replace?+

It depends on the repair and the ductwork. If the unit is past 12 years and the fix is a compressor or coil, replacement usually wins, and a new system installed runs $6,500 to $18,000. If the ductwork is leaking, that gets addressed first or the new unit underperforms too. The in-home estimate is free.
