Call (866) 561-3358

We’ve been answering calls from New South Memphis homeowners since 2018. Glen Hartman built this company on the idea that your phone should be answered by a live person at 2 a.m., your technician should put on shoe covers without being asked, and the price you’re quoted should be the price you pay. That’s the Keystone Standard, and we still apply it to every job in the 38106 ZIP code.

New South Memphis sits low in the Mississippi River floodplain, where humid subtropical air lingers and older homes were never designed for central heating. The shotgun houses along South Parkway and the craftsman bungalows near Soulsville were built for wood stoves and later adapted with wall furnaces. When we drive out to Malone Avenue or Mississippi Boulevard, we’re not just fixing a furnace. We’re solving a puzzle that started a century ago.

Why Fireside Heating & Air Co. Is New South Memphis’s Preferred Heating & Furnace Company

Forty-two years in this trade means we’ve seen every heating system invented since the Reagan administration, and quite a few that should have been retired long before. In New South Memphis, that experience matters more than most places. A technician trained on suburban ranch homes in Cordova will scratch his head at a gravity furnace in a 1920s bungalow. Our journeymen won’t.

We answer the phone live, every hour of every day. Nights, weekends, holidays. When your furnace quits on a January Sunday and the temperature’s dropping toward freezing, you won’t reach a voicemail tree. You’ll reach someone who can dispatch a background-checked, uniformed technician to New South Memphis.

Our 90-Day Done Right Promise applies to every job in 38106. If it’s not right, we make it right. In writing. No paperwork to fill out, no arguing about who said what. That’s how we’ve kept customers in New South Memphis for decades, and how we intend to keep them.

We’re not the cheapest bid you’ll find. We’re the one you won’t have to revisit.

Our Heating & Furnace Services in New South Memphis

Furnace Repair

A furnace repair in New South Memphis usually falls between $150 and $700, depending on what’s failed and how hard the part is to reach. In this neighborhood, that reach matters. Crawl spaces under these old shotguns can be eighteen inches deep, and the original floor furnaces were never meant to be serviced by modern tools. We carry ignition modules, gas valves, blower motors, and heat exchanger inspection cameras on every truck, so most repairs finish in one trip.

Common calls in 38106: furnaces that short-cycle because they’re oversized for the actual heated space, or undersized wall units that run constantly and still leave the back bedroom cold. We’ll tell you straight if repair makes sense or if you’re throwing money at a system that needs replacement.

Furnace Replacement

Full furnace replacement in New South Memphis runs $3,500-$7,500. The wide range reflects what we’re starting with. Replacing a furnace in a home that already has ductwork is one job. Installing central heat in a shotgun house that never had ducts is another entirely.

In New South Memphis (38106), nearly every central heating project is a from-scratch retrofit because the neighborhood’s pre-1950s shotgun and bungalow stock was built without ductwork, forcing our crews to choose between creative flex-duct routing in tight crawl spaces or recommending ductless mini-splits - a choice rarely faced in newer suburbs like Cordova. We’ve routed supply lines through closets, beneath floor joists with inches to spare, and around original brick piers that can’t be disturbed. Sometimes the right answer is a hybrid: a compact gas furnace for the core of the house and mini-split heads for the rooms that ductwork can’t reasonably reach.

On a recent job in the Soulsville area of New South Memphis, we replaced an undersized wall furnace in a 1920s shotgun house with a new Trane gas furnace and ductless mini-split combo. The original unit was just 40,000 BTUs and struggled to heat all three rooms, which open directly into each other with no hallways. We installed a two-head mini-split system to avoid overheating the middle room while leaving the ends chilly, and routed the furnace ductwork through a shallow crawl space to supply the back room.

Furnace Tune-Up

Our $89 Seasonal Tune-Up is built for New South Memphis’s conditions. We check gas pressure, heat exchanger integrity, blower amp draw, and venting slope. Given the humidity in this floodplain zone, we also inspect for condensate drainage problems and rust on burner assemblies that shorter contractors might miss.

A tune-up in October beats a repair call in January. Especially in these older homes where the furnace works harder than it should.

Heat Exchanger Inspection & Replacement

Cracked heat exchangers are a safety issue we don’t soft-pedal. In pre-1950s New South Memphis homes with original or outdated venting, carbon monoxide risk is elevated. Our combustion analyzers detect CO levels at the ppm level, and if we find a crack, we red-tag the unit and walk you through replacement options. No scare tactics. Just straight talk about what your family is breathing.

Gas Valve Repair

Gas valve repair in New South Memphis costs $150-$700. Corroded valves are common in this area due to older gas line infrastructure and the moisture that comes with river-proximity humidity. A failing valve can cause intermittent ignition, rollout, or complete failure to fire. We stock redundant gas valves for Carrier, Trane, and American Standard systems, and we test inlet and outlet pressure to confirm the repair before we leave.

Trusted Brands We Service in New South Memphis

We train our journeymen on nine major residential brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. For New South Memphis customers, that means we stock common parts locally and don’t wait three days for a warehouse shipment. Bryant and American Standard valves, Trane ignition modules, Carrier blower motors - if your system is one of these, odds are we have what broke and can fix it today.

Older systems are a different challenge. When a 1980s furnace in a bungalow near South Parkway needs a part that’s no longer manufactured, we’ll tell you honestly and pivot to replacement options that fit your home’s constraints.

Common Heating & Furnace Problems We See in New South Memphis Homes

• Furnaces sized for single-room spaces get overwhelmed by shotgun floorplans. A 40,000 BTU wall furnace can’t evenly heat three rooms that open directly into each other. The middle room overheats while the front and back stay cold. We see this constantly on Mississippi Boulevard and in the Victorian Village area.
• Gravity-fed and floor furnaces fail from parts obsolescence. The original equipment in these 1900-1950 bungalows hasn’t been made in decades. When the thermocouple or gas regulator fails, replacement often means a full ductwork retrofit that contractors from outside 38106 don’t anticipate.
• Undersized or corroded venting causes dangerous conditions. Older gas lines and B-vent in pre-1950s homes can’t handle modern furnace airflow. We’ve found blocked flues and backdrafting in homes near the river where humidity accelerated corrosion. This is not a DIY diagnosis - carbon monoxide is odorless and lethal.
• High humidity shortens equipment life. Memphis’s subtropical moisture is worse in South Memphis’s low elevation. Furnaces that don’t properly dehumidify create condensate that rusts burners and corrodes heat exchangers from the inside out.
