My name is Jonathan Burkey, owner of BURKEYHVAC LLC, a licensed and insured HVAC contractor, serving Middle Tennessee. I take pride in my work, always using best practices, no matter how long it may take. I've worked for the large companies and have seen the shortcuts taken in order to get the job done as quickly as possible. This often leads to early failures and can reduce the life of your HVAC equipment. You won't get that here. I deal honestly with customers, strive for the highest quality standards, and offer fair and upfront prices. Thanks for your consideration! I look forward to serving you. -Jonathan Burkey

"I had an issue with a new system that was installed and the prior company that installed the unit could not get the system to work properly. (They told me to find someone else.) True Blue was very responsive, courteous and knowledgeable. They responded quickly. Once they tested the equipment, they let me know the issue was a defective unit and asked me to put pressure on the 1st company to have them either refund my money or fix the problem. I did and the 1st company replaced the defective unit. I will definitely use True Blue going forward for AC work. They knew what should be done!"

"Horrible Service ? Avoid at All Costs! I had a terrible experience with Sian/David Langh (phone: +1 (615) 477-2321). He was 2 hours late for the appointment, and when he finally arrived, he left two improperly installed locks unfinished. I requested a follow-up appointment to fix his mistakes, but David?s response was shockingly unprofessional. He told me he would come ?whenever he wants? and even called me stupid. I paid $1,000 for this insulting, unprofessional, and incomplete service. This has been an incredibly frustrating and disappointing experience. Please don?t make the same mistake I did?avoid this contractor at all costs!"

"Overcharged with no description of fees. Agreed just due to having heat turned off for a week and wanting it back on. Later learned they charged me 500$ for a 5 minute install of a 25$ part. Then, they mailed me an extra bill for 100$ for "employee time" when they stated their initial bill was all inclusive. Absolutely ridiculous overcharging."

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
