Memphis Heating and Cooling Challenges
Memphis homes face unique heating and cooling challenges. Many older houses, like those in Downtown Memphis and Midtown, weren’t built with central air in mind. This can make your system work harder, which may shorten its lifespan and increase the risk of breakdowns.
In the summer, high humidity and prolonged AC use can lead to refrigerant leaks, fan motor wear, and failed electrical components, especially if maintenance has been neglected. During Memphis’ winter ice storms, furnaces may struggle to maintain comfortable temperatures, leading to blower motor failures or system lockouts due to overheating.
Even routine issues, like old filters, dirty condenser coils, or failing capacitors, can quickly turn into costly repairs if left unchecked. That’s why we recommend seasonal tune-ups in spring and fall, so small problems are caught early and your system continues running efficiently all year long.

FAQs for Memphis Homes
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.
Why is there water around my indoor unit?
Water near your indoor unit usually signals a drainage problem. It can result from a clogged condensate line, frozen evaporator coil, or airflow issues.
Most systems have a float switch that shuts the unit down when water backs up. Clearing the drain and checking airflow can often restore proper operation.
Why does my furnace turn on but shut off quickly?
A furnace that starts and shuts off quickly is “short cycling,” often caused by restricted airflow, a dirty flame sensor, thermostat issues, or duct problems.
Short cycling reduces efficiency and strains components. A professional tune-up can clean sensors, check airflow, and fine-tune your system for reliable heating.
Why is there ice on the copper pipes for my AC unit?
Ice on refrigerant lines usually indicates a cooling or airflow issue.
Common causes include low refrigerant, blocked vents, dirty filters or coils, or mechanical problems.
Turn off the system to avoid further damage, then call a technician to inspect the unit.
