AC Installation in Hermitage, TN
A new air conditioner is a long-term decision for your Hermitage home. Childs Heating & Air provides residential and light-commercial AC installation in Hermitage 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 size and install central air conditioning systems, air-source heat pumps used for cooling, and ductless options when a home needs targeted comfort without new duct runs. We walk you through what fits your house, ducts, and budget before any equipment is ordered.
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 while you wait on a replacement decision, 24/7 emergency service is available by phone. Call (615) 519-8545.
Why proper AC installation matters in Hermitage
Middle Tennessee summers are long, humid, and hard on cooling equipment. An undersized system runs almost nonstop and still leaves sticky rooms. An oversized system short-cycles and does a poor job removing humidity. Homes in Hermitage and nearby Old Hickory and Donelson vary widely in insulation, attic heat, and duct condition — so matching the old unit’s label alone rarely works well.
We start with a careful look at your home’s cooling needs: square footage, sun exposure, insulation, existing ductwork, and how you use the space. That load-based approach supports comfort on hot Hermitage afternoons without unnecessary runtime.
AC installation options we install
- Central air conditioning for whole-home cooling through existing or updated ductwork
- Heat pump systems that cool in summer and heat in winter from one outdoor unit
- Ductless mini-splits for additions, bonus rooms, or homes where ducts are impractical
We service and install equipment across makes and models. We do not push one equipment line over another. The right choice is the one that matches the house, the ducts, and the way your family lives — explained in plain language, not sales jargon.
What to expect on an AC installation project
- On-site evaluation of the home, existing equipment, electrical capacity, and duct condition.
- Clear proposal with system options sized for the building, not a guess based on the old unit’s label alone.
- Protect the home — we keep work areas as clean and tidy as the job allows.
- Remove and replace outdoor and indoor equipment; connect refrigerant lines, condensate drainage, and controls to code requirements.
- Commission the system — verify charge, airflow, temperature split, and thermostat operation before we leave.
- Walk-through so you know how to run the system, change filters, and spot issues early.
If duct repairs or sealing would improve comfort, we say so up front.
Hermitage homes we typically install for
We install systems for single-family homes across Hermitage and nearby addresses toward Old Hickory and Donelson, including newer subdivisions and older houses that need careful duct evaluation before a changeout. Light-commercial spaces — small offices and similar — are in scope when the equipment and access match what we handle well. Because we dispatch from 5011 Market Place, Unit B in Mt. Juliet, follow-up questions after install go to a local shop, not a call center in another state.
Repair, replace, or wait?
Not every warm house needs a new system tomorrow. If your current AC can be repaired safely and economically, we will say so and show you the option. When the equipment is near the end of its life, uses a refrigerant that is hard to support, or needs repeated major repairs, we explain replacement options as the more practical path and provide an estimate so you can compare options.
