Aire Care has 20+ years of experience in the heating and cooling industry and we've been lucky enough to learn a thing or two over those years about troubleshooting your heating and air conditioning repairs. We've even worked hard to make sure that our staff knows the most up-to-date information about all of your heating and cooling needs. Keeping you cool and warm is our priority!

"I’ve had Jeff Davis at my home to check out the system so when I called Aire Care they do not work with Liberty Home Guard warranty system. So, I proceeded to work through LHG and was told it would be about ten days to give a quote. Well the gas furnace was declared DOA on my furnace of 27 years. I knew it shouldn’t take more than a half hour to quote my furnace so that’s when I realized the LHG company was a decoy to say we really don’t want to do this so we’ll drag our feet on this one. I took a survey on the internet and it pointed me to Aire Care (Jeff Davis company). I inquired with them and their salesman came over and gave me a quote. That’s when I decided to dump LHG and sign with Aire Care Knoxville. The next day LHG came through with slightly better quote but that was because they knew they were being dumped. All in all I’ve had a calmness about going with Aire Care as everyone is nice and very professional. So thanks Aire Care of Knoxville to allow warmth to come back to us"

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.
