Summer has officially hit Knoxville—and while you're focused on staying cool, the HVAC industry is heating up in more ways than one. New tariffs on imported parts and materials are causing HVAC system prices to climb fast. That means if your system is struggling, now’s the time to act—before costs go even higher.
At Eco Home Solutions, we’re helping homeowners beat the surge with our Tariff Buster Sale: $500 OFF HVAC Replacements and payments starting as low as $12.81/month.
Recent government-imposed tariffs are affecting key HVAC components like coils, compressors, and even sheet metal. These parts are essential for both repairs and full system replacements—and now they cost more to import and manufacture.
That added expense trickles down to contractors, and ultimately, to your home. The result? Higher prices, longer wait times, and more urgency for homeowners to upgrade before summer demand peaks.
If your system is over 10 years old or struggling to keep up with the heat, waiting could mean:

Look out for these signs: rising energy bills, uneven heating or cooling, strange noises, frequent repairs, the system's age, poor air quality, lack of comfort, leaks or moisture, outdated tech, and humidity issues at home.
Musty smells in air conditioners can come from clogged filters, moisture, mold, dirty ducts, and broken parts.
Yes, heat pumps can seem to run non-stop, especially in the cold. This is because they work hard to warm your home. They also need to defrost when it gets below 40°F, which keeps the fan running.
But, running all the time isn't always bad. It means your home stays comfortable.
An aging HVAC system uses more energy to keep your home comfortable, raising your bills. Watching your energy bills can show when it's time for maintenance or a new system.
Air conditioners cool your home by moving heat from inside to outside. They use refrigerant in a cycle between indoor and outdoor units.
Heat pumps move heat from one place to another using a refrigerant. This fluid changes state from liquid to gas and back. The compressor powers this cycle, making your home warm or cool.
Uneven temperatures might mean ductwork problems, old equipment, or an inefficient system. Getting a new, right-sized, and balanced system can fix this and keep your home comfortable.
If the smell goes away quickly, it's likely okay. But if it doesn't, or if your home's temperature and humidity are off, you should check it out.
There are two main types: ducted air source and ductless air source, also known as mini-splits. Ducted systems use your home's ducts, while mini-splits don't need ducts and are more efficient.
Noises like banging, rattling, or squealing suggest mechanical issues, like worn parts or loose components. These sounds are serious and could lead to expensive repairs or system failure if ignored.
Mold and mildew love the warm, damp places in air conditioners. They grow on parts like the evaporator coil and ducts, causing bad smells.
With good care, a heat pump can last 10-15 years. They work all year, not just in one season. This means they get used more and can wear out faster than other systems.
Older HVAC systems need more repairs to keep working. If repairs happen often, it might be cheaper to get a new, reliable system in the long run.
Leaks let in dirt, dust, and mold spores, which can grow and cause bad smells in your ducts.
Heat pumps run a lot because warming your home takes time and energy. They also need to defrost in the cold, which keeps the fan on even when not heating.
Most HVAC systems last 10-15 years, depending on use and care. If your system is getting old, it's time to think about a new, energy-saving model.
Blocked vents and not enough return air can stop air from moving well. This lets moisture and mold grow, making smells.
Look for a contractor with experience and a good reputation. Make sure they size and install the right system for your home. Choose an energy-efficient model that suits your climate.
If you're always adjusting the thermostat or feeling uncomfortable, your system might not be working right. A new, efficient system can give you better control over your home's climate.
Problems like clogged drains, bad insulation, or sealing issues can cause water to build up. This creates a place for mold and mildew to grow, leading to bad smells.
There are air-source and ground-source heat pumps. Air-source use outdoor air, while ground-source use the earth or water for heat. Each type has its own benefits and costs.
Regular maintenance, like tune-ups, filter changes, and inspections, can catch and fix problems early. This can save you from big repairs or replacing your system too soon. It also makes your system last longer and work better.
Experts use special cleaners, antimicrobial treatments, and thorough cleaning to get rid of mold and mildew. This helps stop them from coming back.
Heat pumps are better for the climate than traditional heating. They use electricity to move heat, not make it. This makes them 300-400% efficient, cutting energy use and emissions.
New HVAC tech improves energy use, performance, and comfort. Old systems miss out on these benefits. Upgrading to a newer system can save energy and make your home more comfortable.
Cleaning your ducts gets rid of dust, dirt, and harmful stuff that can make your air smell bad and lower its quality.
