This couple spent time and attention on my spring A/C tune-up. They communicated clearly and shared pictures and exactly what was happening and what to expect financially with my appointment. I highly recommend!

I'm absolutely impressed with Steven's (Chillax Heating and Air) knowledge, professionalism, and thoroughness. He took time to actually troubleshoot the odd issues I was having with my furnace. New parts were required (bent blower wheel and swiss cheesed blower housing from previous unrelated companies) as part of the repair. One of the parts had to be ordered from the factory due to my specific system. Steven made sure to call, in the middle of the parts wait, to insure I was ok during a cold spell and offered other repair choices in case I was in desperate need. There was no upsell no gotchas on pricing. Very upfront and honest. Pricing itself was very fair for the work involved. Honesty and care are rare in this era and Steven has both in spades.

Steven is EXTREMELY knowledgeable and an educator on HVAC systems. He came out when we were in dire need of service after moving into our new home. He not only serviced us at a more than fair rate, he let us know about some future signs to look out for regarding preventive maintenance. He does exceptional work and I am have been referring Chillax Heating and Air to everyone I know.

I'm so glad that we reached out to this company to get our heating system looked at before it gets cold. They responded very quickly, and were able to come out in the same day. Once they arrived, they were friendly, quick, and actually explained the issue and how to fix it. The price they gave was the price they charged, which was very fair. We will definitely be using them for HVAC needs in the future.

Maintaining and Repairing HVAC Systems in Cordova Homes
Cordova has one of the largest concentrations of established suburban homes in the Memphis area, and many of those homes are now running HVAC systems that are 10–20 years old or more.
In many cases, these systems are still capable of running efficiently, but only if they’re properly maintained and repaired when problems arise.
Preventative maintenance plays a major role in extending system lifespan. Small issues like restricted airflow, worn electrical components, or dirty coils can gradually increase strain on the equipment. Over time, that extra stress can shorten the life of compressors, motors, and other major components.
Regular inspections allow problems to be identified early, often before they turn into expensive failures.
We also regularly help Cordova homeowners keep older systems running with targeted repairs when the rest of the equipment is still structurally sound. For example, we’ve replaced R22 compressors on existing systems where the coil, cabinet, and other electrical components were still in good condition, allowing the homeowner to continue using their system instead of replacing it prematurely.
Sometimes the issue is much simpler. We’ve inspected systems that were previously condemned for replacement, only to find something minor like a damaged valve core causing refrigerant loss. Once repaired and properly recharged, the system continued operating normally.
Heat pumps are also common in many Cordova homes, and diagnosing them correctly requires experience. Because of their complexity, problems are sometimes misdiagnosed, such as a reversing valve failure being mistaken for a failed compressor. Accurate diagnostics allow these systems to be repaired properly instead of replacing major components unnecessarily.
For Cordova homeowners, long-term system performance often comes down to a combination of consistent maintenance and skilled repairs.
At Chillax, our approach is simple: maintain systems well, diagnose problems accurately, and keep equipment running as long as possible.
FAQs for Cordova Homeowners
How often should I replace my air filter?
Most homes benefit from changing filters every 1–3 months.
Homes with pets, allergies, or high foot traffic should check monthly, while lightly used systems may stretch to 2–3 months.
Regular filter changes improve airflow, maintain efficiency, and prevent unnecessary wear on your HVAC system.
How can I prepare my home for severe weather?
A little preparation helps your HVAC system run efficiently and keeps your home comfortable, whether it’s hot or cold.
-
Clear vents and registers. Make sure furniture, rugs, or curtains aren’t blocking supply or return vents.
-
Seal gaps around doors and windows.
-
Adjust ceiling fans. Clockwise in winter to push warm air down; counterclockwise in summer to create a cooling breeze.
-
Be ready. Keep blankets, space heaters, fans, or portable AC units handy for temporary outages.
How often should I schedule an HVAC system tune-up?
We recommend two tune-ups per year:
-
One in the Spring for your air conditioning system
-
One in the Fall for your heating system
Seasonal maintenance keeps things running smoothly, extends the life of your equipment, and helps catch small problems before they become expensive repairs.
Why is there ice on the copper pipes for my air conditioning unit?
Ice on the copper refrigerant lines usually means your air conditioner isn’t functioning properly. Common causes include low refrigerant, blocked vents, dirty filters or coils, or mechanical problems.
If you notice ice on your refrigerant lines, turn off the system to prevent further damage and give us a call. Running the unit while it’s frozen can seriously damage the compressor and other components. We also cannot properly diagnose the issue until the ice has thawed, so a thorough inspection may need to wait until the unit has fully defrosted.
