Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Chattanooga, TN, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Eldridge Service Co. professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Tennessee home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Eldridge Service Co. team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.

Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Tennessee can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.

- Hearing an unusual noise

“Cayden Melia did a wonderful job!!!!”
“This review is for our recent service/repair
which was done by Ryan Hargrove ( technician)
Timely response and quick diagnosis and repair
of our compressor. We appreciate his
professional work. Will continue to choose
Eldridge Services for our HVAC system.”
“Ryan Hargrave was a great tech! He came out LATE and worked hard to clear a clog in our drain line. It took less than four hours from first contact to fix, which is very fast especially considering he had to come from another job.”
“I must compliment you on your choice of Blake as an employee! Such a nice young man who was personable, competent, informed & kind. He asked me twice if there was anything else he could do to help me. I honestly believe if I had asked for any favor, he would have tried to help. As long as you continue to hire outstanding young men like this who would willingly help a 77 year-your old widow, your business will continue to grow and flourish! Thank you for your wisdom which makes a huge impact on the people you serve!”
“As a member of the comfort club, i recently had my system cleaned and inspected by Blake and Reece. These gentleman did an outstanding service cleaning the coils on both the indoor and outdoor units, as well as checking everything for good functionality. Very pleasant and courteous technicians who definitely are very knowledgeable in their field. Blake even noticed that my outdoor unit didn’t have a surge protector, which I had him install while on the property. Good company.
Fantastic employees !!”
“Raymond Thomas and Ryan Hargrove, spent Many hours replacing a part and getting my older AC unit up and running. They did not leave until all was running to specifications despite a few other discovered problems. They were respectful and friendly. I cancelled my service plan with another company and joins the Eldridge team. Thank you so much.”
“I’ve been using this company for years, and they’ve never let me down. Always professional, reliable, and friendly. The service is consistently excellent. I highly recommend them and will continue to be a loyal customer!”
“I have always had great service with Eldridge Service Co. Raymond has always went the extra mile to make sure the job got done. Thank you! I highly recommend this company”
“Our upstairs air went out while we were on vacation. When we returned I called and within 2 hours we had air again. I would highly recommend Eldridge.”
