Furnace Repair in Cordova, TN Homes
Gas or electric, one call to us for Cordova heating help.
Cordova is not an incorporated town: parts of it lie inside the City of Memphis, and the rest sits in the unincorporated county. It lies about 9 to 11 miles northwest of the Collierville Town Square by straight line.
Electricity, not gas, heats the larger share of Cordova homes, which sets the area apart from Collierville, where gas heats 61.0%. One utility supplies both fuels here, since its 2025 incentive policy covers the whole county.
The local heating and cooling company confirms which system your home has before it plans a repair or a furnace replacement. With both fuels this common in Cordova, read the label on the unit before you call.
Does Your Cordova Home Heat With Gas or Electricity?
Electricity is the leading heating fuel in Cordova, at 65.6% and 54.2% of occupied homes in its 2 ZIP codes. Gas heats 32.1% and 43.4% of them, per the Census Bureau's 2020 to 2024 survey. We split the checks by fuel because a gas furnace and an electric furnace get different ones, so name yours when you call.
Cordova Heating and Cooling Situations
You see these 3 situations in Cordova homes, where electric heat leads and one utility serves both fuels.
| What you notice | What your HVAC company does |
|---|---|
| The furnace stays off after a power outage. | Your HVAC company checks the pressure switch and the ignition sequence, per the manufacturer's manual. The furnace not turning on page lists what you can check first. |
| Your central AC runs in July without cooling the house. | Your HVAC company reads the refrigerant pressures and cleans the condensate drain during AC repair, work the manufacturer reserves for a qualified technician. |
| You own a Cordova rental, and the tenant reports no heat. | Tennessee's landlord act applies in this county and names heat as an essential service. We recommend keeping the HVAC company's notes on the failed part and the repair. |

Furnace or AC trouble in Cordova?
(901) 613-0388What Drives the Bill for a Cordova Furnace Repair?
A Cordova furnace repair bill depends on 4 factors: the failed part, the fuel the system uses, the equipment's age, and access to the unit. No public source lists a Cordova repair price. Your HVAC company diagnoses the fault and explains the work it recommends.
Ask for a written estimate before work starts.
Cordova Permits Run Through One County Office
Cordova homes inside the city limits and those in the unincorporated county go to the same county code office. It permits and inspects the work on both sides, so we tell Cordova callers the city line changes nothing for a furnace permit.
The office follows city and county limits, not the mailing ZIP. Addresses in 38016 and 38018 carry the Cordova name, yet the name alone does not show whether a lot sits in the city. Both cases lead to the same office, unlike Eads, TN, where the county line splits the permit offices.
Ask your HVAC company for its county registration before an AC replacement or a furnace swap. The office's rules require state-licensed contractors to register there.
Ask a local HVAC company what the readings show on your Cordova furnace or central AC before you approve any work.
(901) 613-0388Which MLGW Program Can Help a Cordova Homeowner Pay for Heating Repairs?
The utility's Share the Pennies program gives grants to low-income homeowners in the county, and eligible repairs include HVAC repair or replacement. Applicants own a home in the county, hold the utility account in their name, and meet income guidelines tied to federal poverty levels.
That company explains the repair it recommends; ask it to put the findings in writing for your application file.

Questions Before You Call
Open any question below for its answer
Does Shelby County Offer Utility Bill Help for Cordova Homes This Winter?
No, not through its Community Services Agency, which says utility assistance is not offered at this time, as of November 2026. The utility's Winter Moratorium keeps service on from December 1 to March 1 for customers 60 and older or disabled, who still owe the bill.
Do Electric-Heated Cordova Homes Still Need Carbon Monoxide Alarms?
Yes, per the CPSC, each level of a Cordova home gets a carbon monoxide alarm, with alarms outside the sleeping areas too. Utility gas heats 32.1% to 43.4% of occupied homes across Cordova's 2 ZIP codes, per Census data. Your HVAC company tests a gas furnace for carbon monoxide during service.
Is a Furnace in a Late-1990s Cordova Home Due for Replacement?
No, age alone does not decide it, even though homes at Cordova's 1997 and 1998 medians are close to 30 years old. The HVAC company tests the heat exchanger, the ignition parts, and the venting, then explains repair against replacement. Ask for those readings when you call.
Can an MLGW Energy Doctor Audit Come Before a Cordova Furnace Replacement?
Yes, the utility's Energy Doctor program sends HERS technicians for in-home energy audits. The HVAC company still sizes the replacement with its own ACCA Manual J load calculation. Ask whether it wants a copy of the audit when you call.
