Heat Pump Repair & Installation in Nashville, TN

Heat pumps do double duty in Nashville — cooling through humid summers and heating through winter cold snaps. When that outdoor unit struggles, ices up, or stops keeping up, you need a clear diagnosis and a fix that holds. Childs Heating & Air provides residential and light-commercial heat pump repair and installation in Nashville, 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 work on air-source heat pumps used for whole-home comfort, including systems paired with electric or gas backup heat. We explain what we find, provide options and outline repair versus replace when it matters, and complete the work needed to restore reliable heating and cooling.

Childs Heating & Air is licensed, bonded, and insured. For after-hours breakdowns, 24/7 emergency service is available by phone. Call (615) 519-8545.

Common heat pump problems we see in Nashville

Davidson County homes from Donelson and Hermitage to Madison, Old Hickory, and in-town neighborhoods put year-round demand on heat pumps. Typical calls include:

• System runs but the house never reaches the set temperature in heat or cool mode
• Outdoor unit icing up in heating mode, or constant defrost cycles that never finish
• Blowing cool air when the thermostat is calling for heat
• Short-cycling, hard starts, or breakers that trip when the outdoor unit kicks on
• Uneven rooms, weak airflow, or a thermostat that will not switch modes correctly
• Strange noises, vibration, or water around the indoor air handler

Middle Tennessee’s mix of damp winters and long cooling seasons stresses coils, fans, and controls. We focus on the root cause — refrigerant circuit issues, airflow, electrical, controls, or drainage — so the same failure does not return on the next weather swing.

Why Nashville homes rely on heat pumps

Many Nashville and Greater Nashville homes use heat pumps as the primary year-round system. That is a smart fit for our climate when the equipment is sized and maintained correctly — but it also means a single outdoor unit failure affects both summer cooling and winter heat. Neighborhoods with mature trees, tight lots, or older duct systems can add airflow and outdoor-clearance challenges that show up first on the hottest and coldest days.

We serve Nashville heat pump calls as part of the same Middle Tennessee route that covers Donelson, Hermitage, Madison, and Old Hickory. You get the same licensed, bonded, and insured service whether the job is a straightforward repair or a planned replacement.

What to expect on a heat pump service visit

1. Confirm the complaint and check thermostat mode, setpoints, 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 full system replacement makes more sense.
5. Complete approved repairs and verify heating and cooling operation before we leave.

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.

Heat pump installation and replacement in Nashville

When repair no longer makes sense — age, repeated major failures, or equipment that cannot keep up with the home — we design and install a replacement heat pump sized for the building. That means looking at duct condition, electrical capacity, backup heat needs, and how the home is used, not simply matching the old nameplate.

Nashville’s climate rewards a system that both dehumidifies in summer and heats steadily in winter. We walk through central heat pump options and, when ducts are limited, ductless heat pump solutions for additions or hard-to-serve rooms. For company-wide heat pump details, see our heat pumps pillar. For broader cooling or heating help, see AC repair and heating repair.

Repair, maintenance, or replacement?

Not every heat pump 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 or needs repeated major repairs, we will tell you honestly and walk through replacement options sized for your home.

For ongoing upkeep, see our AC service and heating service pages and the Nashville HVAC hub. For a full system discussion, see AC installation, heating installation, and financing (Optimus financing for qualifying services $500 and up, with approved credit; terms apply).

If the outdoor unit is mainly a cooling failure in summer, see AC repair in Nashville as well.
