Our Hometown AC Repair Services
For over 15 years, we've been the go-to for prompt, dependable air conditioning repair in the Greater Memphis Area.
24/7 Emergency AC Repair
When your air conditioner breaks down in the middle of a sweltering Memphis night, waiting until the next day isn't an option. We offer 24/7 emergency AC repair, arriving quickly with well-stocked service vans to restore cooling without delay.
Because Memphis homes are often occupied by families with young children or older adults, losing cooling during a heat wave can become more than an inconvenience. When you call us after hours, our team walks you through safe steps to take until we arrive, such as shutting the system down to help prevent further damage and checking basic items like the thermostat or breaker panel. This approach helps protect your equipment and gives you a clearer idea of what is happening before a technician gets to your door.
Our on-call technicians live and work throughout Shelby County, so they are familiar with the typical drive times and traffic patterns on major routes like I-40 and I-240. That local knowledge helps us give realistic arrival windows and communicate clearly if severe weather or road conditions could slow travel. You will know when to expect us, and we will stay in contact so you are not left wondering when help will show up.
Comprehensive Diagnostics & Troubleshooting
Our skilled technicians use advanced diagnostic tools and industry-leading training to identify AC problems quickly and accurately. We don't just replace parts. We find and address the underlying issue so your cooling system is set up to work reliably for the long haul.
Full-System AC Repair
From compressors and condensers to evaporator coils and blower motors, we repair the full range of components that keep your home comfortable:
- Refrigerant leak detection and recharging
- Capacitor and contactor replacement
- Fan motor and blower motor repairs
- Thermostat diagnostics and repair
- Condensate drain line cleaning and repair
- Ductwork inspection and sealing
- Electrical component repair and wiring fixes
- Evaporator and condenser coil cleaning
- Compressor diagnostics and repair
Heat Pump Repair
If your heat pump isn't cooling properly, our technicians can diagnose and fix the issue. We're experienced with all major heat pump brands and models, helping your system run at peak efficiency year-round.
Many homes in suburbs like Collierville, Arlington, and Olive Branch rely on heat pumps as their primary comfort system, so a loss of cooling can affect both summer comfort and shoulder-season heating. When we arrive, we evaluate both the indoor and outdoor units, verify thermostat settings, and check airflow and refrigerant pressures before recommending repair options. That step-by-step process helps us address the real cause of the issue instead of swapping parts and hoping the problem disappears.
Mini-Split System Repair
Mini-split systems offer flexible, zoned cooling, but they come with their own set of repair needs. We handle everything from refrigerant issues to sensor malfunctions, working to keep your mini-split system running at its best.
In Memphis, mini-split systems are often used to condition bonus rooms, sunrooms, garages, and upstairs additions that were not originally tied into the main duct system. When one of these units fails, the rest of the home may still feel comfortable, which can make it tempting to delay service. We help you understand how small issues—such as a noisy fan, a water drip from the indoor head, or a zone that will not respond to the remote—can point to larger problems if left unaddressed. By catching those signs early, you can often avoid a complete loss of cooling in those spaces during the hottest weeks of summer.
We Provide Reliable, Long-Lasting Solutions For:
Goodman, Rheem, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Daikin, Bryant, Amana, Heil, American Standard, Ruud, Coleman, Mitsubishi, Fujitsu, LG, and more.

Why Memphis Homeowners Trust Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air for Air Conditioning Repair
We charge a $59 diagnostic fee when a technician visits your home. If you approve the repair, that fee is waived and applied toward the cost of the work. Before anything starts, your technician provides an upfront quote so you can decide with full information. No pressure, no hidden charges.
That straightforward approach has earned us an A+ BBB rating and the Andy Wise endorsement through his Wise Choices consumer-vetting program here in Memphis. We were also named Best of Memphis 2025 by the Memphis Flyer. These recognitions reflect how our team of over 50 professionals, led by General Manager Tommy Berish and Service Manager Tim Francher, serves homeowners every day. With 5,308 reviews averaging 4.9 stars, the feedback from our customers speaks for itself.
For homeowners who want to stay ahead of breakdowns, our Total Care Club membership provides preventive maintenance that helps keep your system running efficiently season after season. When a larger repair or replacement is the better path, we offer financing options to make the investment more manageable.
How Memphis Weather Stresses Your AC
Memphis sits in a humid subtropical climate zone where summer highs routinely exceed 90°F and relative humidity stays elevated for weeks at a time. That combination forces air conditioning systems to run extended cycles just to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures, accelerating wear on capacitors, fan motors, and condensate drain systems. These are components that might last years in a milder climate but degrade faster here in Shelby County.
Late spring brings another challenge specific to this area: cottonwood fluff. The lightweight fibers collect on outdoor condenser coils, forming a dense layer that restricts airflow and forces compressors to work harder. Left unaddressed, that buildup can contribute to overheating and compressor strain heading into peak cooling season.
Frequent thunderstorms add a third layer of risk. Power surges degrade capacitors and damage control boards, which is why post-storm “warm air” calls are among the most common service requests we receive between June and August. Our technicians understand these climate-driven failure patterns because they see them regularly. Whether your home is a historic property in Midtown with aging ductwork or newer construction in Germantown, Bartlett, or Collierville, we know how local conditions affect your system.
Common Signs You Need AC Repair in Memphis
Not every AC problem announces itself as an emergency, but paying attention to early warning signs gives you more flexibility to schedule a convenient appointment rather than fitting into an urgent same-day opening. Some symptoms point clearly toward a developing problem that a licensed HVAC technician should check:
- Rooms that never seem to cool down despite an unchanged thermostat setting
- New rattling, buzzing, or grinding sounds when the system starts
- Unusually high electric bills during a typical Memphis summer
- Short on-and-off cycles
- A musty odor when the system runs
When you reach out, we’ll ask how long the problem has been happening, what you’ve already tried, and the age of your equipment. That conversation helps us determine dispatch urgency and what parts and tools to load on the service van. Homeowners in Cordova, Lakeland, Southaven, and across the area who share those details upfront help us arrive better prepared to diagnose and discuss repair options on the spot.

Founded on Honest Service. Built on 15 Years of Trust.
Smith's Plumbing, Heating & Air was founded on principles of honest service and professional excellence, and those principles shape how we approach every AC repair. We work thoroughly, with genuine concern for solving problems correctly rather than just closing a ticket. Today, we’ve grown into a team of over 50 employees, and our mission remains the same: treat every customer like family and earn the right to be your trusted plumbing, heating, and air conditioning team for life.
Transparent, Upfront Pricing
Nobody likes surprise costs after work is complete. Before any repair begins, our technicians evaluate your AC system, explain what needs fixing, outline your options, and provide upfront pricing for each recommended repair. You decide whether to proceed based on complete information.
That transparency extends to honest repair-vs-replacement guidance. When your air conditioner is old or needs extensive work, we’ll give you a straightforward assessment of whether investing in repairs makes financial sense. We’re here to help you make an informed decision, not sell you a service you don’t need.
AC Repairs That Last
Quick fixes might restore temporary cooling, but they often lead to repeated breakdowns and mounting repair costs. Our repair philosophy focuses on identifying why components failed and addressing those root causes. When a capacitor burns out, we investigate what caused the failure. When refrigerant levels drop, we locate and seal the leak before recharging the system.
We replace worn components before they cause secondary damage, clean systems to help prevent efficiency losses, and make adjustments intended to optimize performance. The goal is a repair intended to hold up through the cooling season and beyond.
Our AC Repair Process, Step by Step
When your system isn’t keeping up, it helps to know what to expect once you schedule a visit. From the first call to the final cleanup, we follow the same process for every air conditioning repair in Memphis.
Scheduling & Arrival
After you schedule, we send a confirmation with your appointment window and the name of the technician who can be arriving. On the day of service, your technician can introduce themselves, listen as you describe the issue, and perform a visual inspection of both the indoor and outdoor units. They’ll then use meters and gauges to test electrical components, refrigerant pressures, temperatures, and airflow to get a complete picture of how your system is operating.
Diagnosis, Repair & Cleanup
Once the diagnostic work is complete, we review what we found with you in plain language. You’ll see recommended repair options, any alternative approaches, and clear pricing for each choice before any work starts. If you approve the repair, we complete as much as possible on the same visit using the parts and tools stocked on our vans. Before we leave, we run your system through a full cooling cycle, answer your questions, and leave the work area clean.

“It started with Brock, a proficient, patient, helpful, thorough, and courteous representative of Smith’s Plumbing who arrived at scheduled time.”- Magda F.
I am an extremely pleased customer!
"It started with Brock, a proficient, patient, helpful, thorough, and courteous representative of Smith’s Plumbing who arrived at scheduled time. With 3 bids on hand, after Brock responded to my questions on different brands of tankless, position of gas and water pipes, along with a competitive price, It was an EASY decision to have Smith’s Plumbing replacing my 2 tanks water heater with a Rinnai RSC 199 tankless! Respectful, pleasant, and skillful install crew, Cody and Eli along with roofer Scott, took great care to protect wood floor and extra careful with hauling equipment up and down the stairs. The tankless water heater was up and running prior to 5PM on the same day. Rest assured it was my first and surely not my last experience with Smith’s Plumbing as I am an extremely pleased customer!"- Magda F.![]()
