Heating & Air Experts

At Smoky Mountain Heating and Air, we believe the best way to avoid costly repairs is to prevent them altogether. Here are a few quick tips to keep your system running smoothly:

• Change your filters regularly – A clean filter improves air quality and system efficiency.

• Schedule seasonal tune-ups – A professional check-up before summer and winter ensures your system is ready when you need it most.

• Keep vents and registers clear – Blocked airflow makes your system work harder and less efficiently.

• Watch for warning signs – Unusual noises, inconsistent temperatures, or rising energy bills could mean it’s time for a service call.

Regular maintenance can extend the life of your HVAC system and save you money. Call us today to learn more about our Preventative Maintenance Agreement program. Let us help you stay comfortable year-round!

Don't sweat it—Smoky Mountain Heating and Air is here to help. If your system isn't keeping things cool, try these quick checks before calling for service:

• Check your thermostat – Make sure it’s set to “cool” and the temperature is lower than the current room temp.

• Inspect the air filter – A clogged filter can restrict airflow and reduce cooling performance.

• Look outside – Make sure your outdoor unit isn’t blocked by leaves, debris, or weeds.

• Check your circuit breaker – Sometimes a tripped breaker is the simple fix.

If everything seems fine but it’s still warm inside, it may be time for a professional service visit by one of our technicians. Call the trusted team at Smoky Mountain Heating and Air—we’ll get you back to cool in no time!

At Smoky Mountain Heating and Air, we get this question all the time—and it’s an important one!

• Standard filters should typically be replaced every 6 months, depending on usage and air quality.

• Homes with pets, smokers, or allergies may need filter changes every 3 months, or even monthly.

• High-efficiency filters or systems with advanced filtration may last longer, even up to a year for some—but check manufacturer guidelines.

Keeping your filters clean helps your system run efficiently, improves indoor air quality, and can even lower your energy bills. Set a reminder—it’s a small task that makes a big difference!

Or, call Smoky Mountain Heating and Air and learn about our Preventative Maintenance Agreement (PMA) where we can change the filters for you as part of our regular maintenance to keep your systems running in tip-top shape.
