Serving Downtown Clarksville
Heating Work for the City's Oldest Homes
Downtown Clarksville runs along Franklin Street, home to the Montgomery County Courthouse, Austin Peay State University, and the Roxy Theater. The housing stock here is the city's oldest, including homes rebuilt after the January 1999 tornado that tore through historic downtown. Our shop at 1826 Wilma Rudolph Blvd sits right in this corridor, so downtown calls are usually our fastest to reach. Learn more about the city at the City of Clarksville website or on Wikipedia.
Older homes bring character and heating quirks in equal measure. We find original ductwork that leaks like a sieve, furnaces sized for a draftier era, and tight stone-foundation basements where a tech earns every inch. Retrofitting a modern thermostat or a sealed-combustion furnace into these homes takes planning, and that is exactly the kind of job we enjoy.
Common furnace issues we see in Downtown Clarksville
- Cracked heat exchangers in 20-plus-year-old units, the safety red line for carbon monoxide.
- Thermostats that cannot keep up with plaster walls, tall ceilings, and drafty windows.
- Duct leakage stealing heat before it ever reaches upstairs rooms.
- Pilot and ignition trouble in standing-pilot relics that predate modern safety controls.
Local tip: Downtown Clarksville
If your downtown home still has its original ductwork, ask us about a duct check during your next furnace visit. Sealing the worst leaks often does more for comfort than upsizing the furnace, and it costs far less than a full replacement.

Downtown Clarksville Questions
Furnace Questions From Downtown Homeowners
How fast can you reach a downtown Clarksville home?
Our shop at 1826 Wilma Rudolph Blvd sits right in the downtown corridor, so downtown calls are often our fastest to reach. During business hours, Mon-Fri 7AM-7PM and Sat 8AM-4PM, we aim for same-day visits on no-heat calls, and our 24/7 line covers true emergencies overnight.
Can you work on furnaces in old historic homes?
Yes, that is a large part of our downtown work. We regularly service furnaces in stone-foundation basements, retrofit modern thermostats onto older wiring, and plan sealed-combustion replacements where the old venting will not pass. Tight spaces and old ductwork take extra planning, and we do that planning before we quote.
Why does my old furnace smell when it first kicks on each fall?
A brief dusty or burning smell on the first one or two heat cycles is usually just dust burning off the heat exchanger, and it should fade quickly. If the smell lingers, smells electrical or like gas, or the furnace has not been serviced in years, turn it off and call us. Our burning-smell guide explains what is normal and what is not.
My downtown furnace is over 20 years old. Is it still safe to run?
Age alone does not make a furnace unsafe, but heat exchangers do wear out, and a cracked one is a carbon monoxide risk. If your unit is 20-plus years old, a heat exchanger inspection is the smart move. We will show you what we find and give you honest repair-versus-replace math.
Do you service homes rebuilt after the 1999 tornado?
Yes. Many downtown homes were rebuilt or heavily repaired after the January 1999 tornado, so we see 2000s-era systems on the same street as much older ones. We size and service based on what is actually in your home, not the neighborhood average. See our full service area for every community we cover.
