AC Repair in Donelson, TN

When your air conditioner fails in Donelson, you need a clear diagnosis and a repair that holds up through Middle Tennessee heat and humidity. Childs Heating & Air provides residential and light-commercial AC repair in Donelson, dispatched from our Mt. Juliet shop at 5011 Market Place, Unit B. Childs Heating & Air was founded in 2008 by Justin Childs, with roots back to 1976 through Jim Davis Heating & Air.

We service central air conditioners, air-source heat pumps used for cooling, and related indoor and outdoor equipment across makes and models. We explain what we find, outline repair versus replace when it matters, and complete the work needed to restore cooling.

Childs Heating & Air is licensed, bonded, and insured. Regular hours are Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For after-hours cooling failures, 24/7 emergency service is available by phone. Call (615) 519-8545.

Common AC problems we see in Donelson

Donelson homes share the same long cooling season as nearby Hermitage, Old Hickory, and east Nashville: humid stretches that stress condensers, coils, and airflow. Typical calls include:

• System runs but air is warm or only slightly cool
• Outdoor unit will not start, short-cycles, or trips a breaker
• Frozen evaporator coil or ice on refrigerant lines
• Water around the indoor air handler or drain pan
• Weak airflow, hot rooms, or vents that feel restricted
• Strange noises, burning smells, or a thermostat that will not call for cool

We focus on the root cause — refrigerant, airflow, electrical, controls, or drainage — so the same failure does not return on the next hot afternoon.

Local service from Mt. Juliet to Donelson

Our shop sits in Mt. Juliet, so Donelson is a regular east Nashville route — not an afterthought. Whether you are near Lebanon Pike, toward Hermitage, or closer to Old Hickory, we schedule AC repair with the same standards we use at home base: clear diagnosis, respect for your property, and no pressure to replace equipment that can still be repaired well.

If the issue is heat instead of cooling, start with heating repair in Donelson. If you are unsure whether the outdoor unit, indoor coil, or thermostat is at fault, call and describe the symptoms — we will help you sort out the next step.

What to expect on an AC repair visit

1. Confirm the complaint and check thermostat settings, breakers, and disconnects.
2. Inspect outdoor and indoor equipment, filters, drains, and accessible electrical components.
3. Diagnose with the tools needed for the symptom, not a guess-and-replace approach.
4. Explain options in plain language, including when a larger repair or system replacement is the more practical path.
5. Complete approved repairs and verify cooling operation before we leave.

Repair visits start with a $79 diagnostic, which is waived if you go ahead with the repair. Warranty: Every repair comes with at least a 30-day parts-and-labor warranty, and many jobs carry longer coverage of up to 2 years or more, as listed on your invoice. Refrigerant is not covered.

Repair, maintenance, or replacement?

Not every AC problem means you need a new system. Many can be fixed with a straightforward repair once we find the cause. When equipment is near the end of its life, uses a refrigerant that is hard to support, or needs repeated major repairs, we will say so and walk through replacement options sized for the building — not “bigger is better.”

For a full system discussion, see AC installation and financing (Optimus financing for qualifying services $500 and up, with approved credit; terms apply). We also offer free estimates and a free second opinion when you already have a quote.
