Repair or Replace? Here's How We Help You Decide.

This is one of the most common questions we get, and there's no universal answer. Our technicians assess the system, explain what they find, and give you the information to make the call that makes sense for your home and budget.

A few factors we walk homeowners through:

• The age and condition of the unit. Most residential central AC systems have a lifespan of 15 to 20 years. A unit in its mid-teens that's had recurring issues or hasn't received regular maintenance is worth evaluating honestly for replacement.
• The cost and nature of the repair. Some repairs — a failed capacitor, a clogged drain line, a worn contactor — are relatively minor and make sense to fix even on an older system. Others, like a compressor failure or a refrigerant leak on a unit using the now-discontinued R-22 refrigerant, make replacement a more practical choice.
• Efficiency and energy costs. Systems manufactured 10 or more years ago operate at efficiency ratings significantly below what current equipment delivers. If your energy bills have been climbing despite no obvious change in usage, a new system may pay for itself faster than the repair cost suggests.

We'll give you both options with honest numbers on each. Call (901) 290-1110 and our team can walk you through your options.

What to Expect on an AC Service Call

When you call Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air for AC service in Cordova, the process is the same whether it's a planned maintenance visit or an urgent repair:

• We're available when you need us. Our team takes calls 24 hours a day, 7 days a week — nights, weekends, and holidays included.
• We arrive prepared. Our vans are stocked with the components most likely to be needed for common AC failures, which lets us complete most repairs in a single visit rather than returning when a part arrives.
• We diagnose before we recommend. Your AC technician takes the time to trace the issue to its actual source. That protects you from paying for a repair that doesn't fix the underlying problem.
• We make sure you understand what we found. Your technician will explain the issue, review what needs to be done, and answer your questions in plain language. For first-time homeowners or anyone unfamiliar with HVAC equipment, we can also share practical tips about keeping your system in peak shape.
• We do not recommend work your system doesn't need. Our recommendations are based on what your system needs, not on selling extra work.
• You get a price before we start. Upfront pricing is standard at Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air. You know what you'll pay before any work begins.
• We treat your home with care. Your technician moves carefully through your home, keeps the work area as neat as possible, and cleans up around the equipment before leaving.

What Humidity Does to an AC System

Most people think of air conditioning as a cooling tool. In Memphis, it's also the home's primary dehumidifier. During peak summer conditions, a properly functioning AC removes somewhere between 5 and 20 gallons of moisture from indoor air every day. When a system is undersized, oversized, overdue for maintenance, or dealing with a clogged condensate drain, that moisture removal breaks down. The result is air that feels heavy and damp even when the temperature reads close to the thermostat setting.

We see this pattern frequently in local homes. A few of the most common causes we diagnose:

• Clogged condensate drain lines. Moisture that can't drain backs up into the air handler, which can overflow into attics and crawlspaces and create conditions for mold and water damage
• Coils that need cleaning. Dirty evaporator coils lose their ability to absorb heat and moisture efficiently, dragging down performance without triggering an obvious failure
• Refrigerant that's low or leaking. Low refrigerant reduces the system's ability to pull heat out of indoor air, which usually shows up as the system running longer without reaching the set temperature
• Oversized systems short-cycling. A unit that's too large for the home cools the air quickly but shuts off before completing a full dehumidification cycle, leaving the air cool but clammy

Understanding what's actually wrong rather than just swapping components  is something Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air takes seriously. Our technicians perform a thorough diagnosis before recommending any repair or replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long can I safely run my AC if it is not cooling well?

If the system is running but the air is not getting cooler, it is better to turn it off and schedule service. Running it continuously can worsen certain issues, especially if the coil is frozen, airflow is restricted, or the outdoor unit is struggling.

What should I check before calling for AC service?

Check that the thermostat is set to cooling, the breaker has not tripped, the filter is not packed with dust, and the outdoor unit is not blocked by leaves or debris. If everything looks normal and the system still is not cooling, it is time to have it checked.

Is water around my indoor AC unit serious?

Yes, it can be. Water near the indoor unit may come from a clogged drain line, frozen coil, cracked drain pan, or disconnected drain tubing. Shutting the system off can help limit water damage until a technician finds the source.

Why does my AC keep turning on and off so quickly?

Rapid cycling can come from thermostat issues, dirty components, electrical problems, low refrigerant, or a system that is not sized correctly for the home. Since short cycling can strain the compressor, it is worth addressing sooner rather than later.

What should I do before the technician arrives?

Clear access to the indoor and outdoor AC units if you can, move vehicles or stored items that may block the work area, and make sure pets are secured. It also helps to note when the issue started, what the system is doing, and whether you have noticed leaks, noises, odors, or breaker trips.
