Cities and ZIP codes covered

The table lists every city covered, its distance from Memphis and its ZIP codes.

How coverage is confirmed

A listed ZIP code is a starting point. When you call or send a request, the provider asks for your street address, the property type and what you need, then confirms whether it can serve you and when. The provider may serve only part of a ZIP code or part of a city, so the confirmation matters.

If your ZIP code is not listed, you can still send a request. The provider will say whether it can help or point you to another business.

What shapes the written scope

Two AC calls that sound alike can be very different jobs. The written scope should say what the technician found and which of these factors applied.

Have the provider show the diagnostic and the repair as separate items, and list any parts, labor or follow-up that are left out.

• Whether the ductwork, return air or thermostat contributes to the problem
• The age, tonnage and refrigerant type of the system
• Access to the air handler in the attic or closet and to the outdoor unit
• Whether the fault is an electrical part, an airflow problem, a refrigerant leak or a drainage problem
• Warranty status of the parts and whether the equipment is registered with the manufacturer

Safety and rules to know

Three hazards share one machine in an air conditioner: high-voltage electricity, pressurized refrigerant and moving parts. Opening electrical panels, bridging contactors and adding refrigerant are not jobs for homeowners, and capacitors can keep a charge after the power is off.

In the United States, anyone who buys or handles refrigerant must be certified under EPA Section 608, and refrigerant must be recovered and not vented. Ask the technician for their certification and check the contractor's licence with Tennessee Board for Licensing Contractors (HVAC classifications).

Questions to ask before approving a repair

• Will you give me the findings and the scope in writing before work starts?
• What are my options: repair now, repair and monitor, or replace?
• What does the repair warranty cover and for how long?
• How old is the system and which refrigerant does it use?
• What failed, how did you confirm it and can you show me the part or the reading?

What makes air conditioning repair different in Memphis

Hot, humid Mid-South summers with heat indexes often above 100 degrees; winters can bring ice storms. Humidity drives condensate drain clogs, sweating ducts, and mold in air handlers.

Memphis Light, Gas and Water (MLGW) is the local utility. Older homes in Midtown, Cooper-Young, Binghampton, and Whitehaven; newer homes in Cordova, Collierville, Germantown, and Bartlett. The diagnosis and the equipment recommendation for your address can both be shaped by these local conditions, so ask the technician how.

How an air conditioning repair visit works, step by step

A diagnostic visit should follow a repeatable order so the technician finds the cause, not just the symptom. Knowing the order helps you tell a thorough visit from a part swap.

• Interview: what you noticed, when it started, how the system sounds and what you have already tried.
• Visual check: thermostat settings, filter, supply and return registers, the air handler, the condensate line and the outdoor unit.
• Electrical tests: breaker and disconnect, capacitor microfarad rating, contactor contacts, motor amperage and control voltage.
• Airflow and temperature: the temperature drop across the evaporator coil and, where needed, static pressure in the ductwork.
• Refrigerant checks: pressures, superheat and subcooling, and a leak search if the charge is low.
• A written finding: the cause, the repair options and what each one would fix, before any part is replaced.

Seasons across the Memphis area

June to September is peak cooling; winter ice storms test heat pumps.
