Action Air – Serving Tennessee & Kentucky - Action Air specializes in residential, commercial and industrial HVAC repairs and installations. Serving the Clarksville & Hopkinsville area since 1979.

At Action Air, our technicians are non-commissioned, meaning they won’t try to sell you something you don’t actually need and they are always looking out for what’s best for you and your budget.

Action Air explains the benefits of using a company with non-commissioned technicians for your HVAC needs.

Commissioned Technicians

• Some HVAC companies pay their technicians by commission, which means they get 10-12% commission on whatever they can sell you.
• HVAC companies can have a quota their technicians have to meet or they may lose their jobs.
• This type of payment can lead to dishonesty or motivate techs to convince a customer they need an expensive repair when they really don’t.

Routine maintenance

• Having routine maintenance on your HVAC system is a very important step in the long-term life of your HVAC equipment. 
• Unfortunately, commissioned technicians or salespeople use these routine calls to take advantage of unsuspecting customers.

Bait & Switch

• If you hear about an HVAC company offering low-cost tune-ups, start asking questions.
• If they use commissioned service technicians, you can be confident that you’re in for bait & switch, and you’ll be facing hardball sales tactics touting “solutions” you don’t really need.
• At Action Air, all of our prices are listed on our website and all of our techs are non-commissioned, meaning they won’t try and take advantage of you on a service or routine call.

CBC News Sting Operation

• CBC News recently rigged a house with a simple broken wire on an HVAC system and sent 6 different commissioned technicians to the house. 
• Each of the 6 repairmen tried to swindle the poor lady out of hundreds of dollars in phony repairs.

If you’re unsure if an HVAC company is being honest about what needs to be done to repair your system, call Action Air. We’re happy to send a technician out to give you a second opinion.

Action Air explains a few of the most common commercial HVAC problems they run into

Commercial HVAC problems can impact productivity levels, safety, and energy bills. Here are some common problems to be aware of.

Dirty filters

• Dirty and worn filters force your AC to work harder, which increases energy costs and reduces the life of your equipment.
• New filters will improve your building’s IAQ and keep dust and other allergens away.

Leaking refrigerant

• Your system can’t do its job if it doesn’t have enough refrigerant.
• Refrigerants are liquid agents that make air conditioning possible.
• These are contained within the coils of the HVAC system and cool and dehumidify indoor air.
• Read more about commercial refrigeration here.

Thermostat Malfunctions

• Your thermostat regulates the time and amount of heating and cooling your unit should produce.
• When your thermostat malfunctions, your building can suffer from intermittent temperature fluctuations.
• Don’t jump to the conclusion that your HVAC system isn’t working properly until you’ve checked the thermostat functionality.

Lack of maintenance

• When you don’t have regular maintenance performed, minor problems become major repair expenses.
• Regular maintenance can prevent most problems because the technicians can identify and correct issues that prevent your equipment from working properly.

A preventative maintenance program is critical to ensuring your system functions properly and efficiently. However, even the most well-maintained commercial equipment will need to be repaired from time to time, particularly if you experience any of the following

• Odors or poor indoor air quality (IAQ)
• Strange sounds
• Uneven heating and cooling throughout the building
• Loss of system efficiency
• A rise in heating and cooling costs

Action Air is here to help prevent any issues so schedule your maintenance check-up to avoid these common commercial HVAC problems now!

The last thing you need is a surprise air conditioning repair right before the summer. While all systems require repairs from time to time, many are preventable. Here are the most common air conditioning problems Action Air encounters every spring and what you can do to avoid them

Tripped Breaker

• The most common no-cool call is for a tripped breaker.
• If your air goes out, try resetting your breaker before you call us.
  • It shouldn’t trip again after that, but if it does, it could mean a more serious problem.

Dirty Filters

• Dirty filters reduce the indoor air quality, make your home less comfortable, and can result in serious repairs down the road.
• Disposable filters should be replaced monthly to help prevent issues with your air conditioning.

Refrigerant Leaks

• Air conditioner systems are sealed and should never leak refrigerant. 
• If it does leak, bad things can happen such as
  • The coil may freeze.
  • The air conditioner efficiency falls and electricity use rises.
  • The compressor could become damaged.
• If you suspect a leak, call Action Air to schedule an appointment for a technician to take a look.

Switch Turned Off

• Some heating and cooling systems have a wall switch at the indoor unit for safety and convenience that can be confused with a light switch.
• If this is accidentally turned off, your A/C will not start.
• Check the switch before calling us.

Thermostat Problems

• Some thermostats must be switched between heating mode and cooling mode.
• Try switching it over before panicking and calling Action Air.

Dirty coils

• The evaporator coil inside your home and the condenser coil on the outside of your home can become dirty.
• These need to be cleaned regularly for high efficiency.

Duct Leaks

• The duct system is tasked with delivering cool air to the occupied areas of your home.
• Duct leakage is one of the leading causes of inefficient air conditioning operation and home comfort problems.
• One of our knowledgeable technicians can check your ducts for leaks to determine if that’s causing the issues with your air conditioning system.

Did you know, the average home loses up to 30% of its air from holes and leaks in your ductwork? Here are a few tips from Action Air for improving the efficiency of your ductwork.

Check for Leaks

• Inspect your ducts visually for any obvious holes or any sections that may have become detached. 
• If you don’t want to inspect the ducts yourself or if you fear there may be holes too small for you to find, contact the professionals at Action Air to perform a performance test to check for leaks.

Insulate Ductwork

• If your ductwork passes through an unheated portion of your home, the ambient temperatures are going to affect the air inside the ducts. 
• Minimize this problem by either insulating the entire space the ducts pass through or by insulating the duct itself.

Rerouting Ducts

• The air passing through your ducts will be affected by drag and can contribute to energy loss.
• You can reduce this type of loss in several ways:
  • Reduce the length of duct segments
  • Increase duct diameter
  • Reduce number of bends in ductwork
  • Reduce sharpness of bends in ductwork

Of course, your best solution to any ductwork problems is to let Action Air inspect and repair your ductwork.

Action Air suggests you act now to determine whether or not your HVAC system is working properly this holiday season

Whether it’s investing in a completely new system or making a few tweaks to your old one, you could be well on your way to an efficient winter. Action Air has some HVAC tips that will help you go into the holiday season feeling confident about your system.

Change your air filters

• It’s recommended that you change your air filter roughly every 1-3 months depending on how dirty it is.
• Air filters catch all of the dirt and debris from the air.
• When the filter is doing its job correctly, it will eventually become overwhelmed by that debris that blocks the airflow which causes your HVAC system to work harder.
  • Not regularly changing your air filters could cause bigger issues later on due to the stress of your system working overtime.
• Dirty air filters can also cause problems for the air quality in your home.
  • The chances increase for dust, mold, and pet dander to be recycled through the filter and back into the air you breathe.
• Action Air can help you determine the right filter for your HVAC system and your home’s environment.

Check your ducts for leaks

• Your HVAC system pushes air through the ducts.
  • A leak or crack in your ductwork will allow air to seep out before it reaches the proper destination. 
• Your system will try to make up for this deficiency by working overtime and causing premature breakdown.

Schedule Preventative Maintenance

• Just like your car, your HVAC system needs routine maintenance which can help keep your system running smoothly and more efficiently longer.
• An HVAC professional, like Action Air, can do an assessment of your system’s efficiency before the holiday season to ensure everything is running properly.
• Ask an Action Air technician about scheduling preventive maintenance for your system before the winter.

Unusual Noises
