About Chancey & Reynolds
About Us
Steve Chancey and Art Reynolds founded Chancey & Reynolds, Inc. in 1978, launching what would grow into one of Knoxville’s most established home services companies. Both men were graduates of the University of Tennessee, and it was there that they discovered a shared passion for the vibrant Knoxville community they would go on to serve for decades. Together, these two entrepreneurs built Chancey & Reynolds into a business fully committed to meeting the heating and air needs of the greater Knoxville area, laying a foundation that has now supported the company for nearly five decades.
From the very beginning, the company has been built on four core principles: honesty, integrity, reliability, and efficiency. These values about us aren’t just words on a wall — they shape how Chancey & Reynolds treats every customer like family, whether it’s a routine maintenance call or an emergency repair in the middle of the night. That family-first philosophy has helped the company earn a reputation across East Tennessee as a name homeowners can trust.
Today, the company’s team includes more than 20 certified technicians, many of whom hold NATE certification, the industry’s gold standard for HVAC expertise. These technicians rely on teamwork, fairness, and careful planning to ensure top-notch service across a wide range of offerings, including HVAC service, air conditioning, heating, new equipment installation, and indoor air quality — all delivered with the same attention to detail that Steve and Art established at the company’s founding.
Over the years, Chancey & Reynolds has also expanded well beyond its original HVAC roots. The company now offers a full slate of plumbing services — including water heaters, sump pumps, and leak detection — along with dedicated drain services such as drain clearing, hydro jetting, camera inspections, and sewer line repair. This growth reflects the same entrepreneurial spirit that drove Chancey and Reynolds to start the business in 1978: a commitment to being a true one-stop resource for Knoxville homeowners.
The company’s longevity and quality of work haven’t gone unnoticed. Chancey & Reynolds has been recognized as one of “The Top Ten” contractors by Rheem Manufacturing Co., has won the “Super Service Award” from Angie’s List nine times, and has claimed Rheem’s “Platinum Contractor Award” fifteen times. The company has also been named a Top Workplace by the Knoxville News, holds an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau, is fully insured, and provides 24/7 emergency services to the community it has served since 1978.

Common signs that your HVAC system may need repair include unusual noises (grinding, squealing, banging), strange odors, inconsistent temperatures throughout your home, higher than usual energy bills, weak airflow, or if your system is frequently cycling on and off. If you notice any of these issues, it’s best to call a professional.
There are several ways to improve your system’s energy efficiency. Regular professional maintenance is key. Additionally, you can change your air filters monthly, ensure your thermostat is programmed correctly, seal any leaks in your ductwork, and consider upgrading to a high-efficiency system or smart thermostat if your current one is old.
We recommend having your HVAC system serviced at least once a year, ideally in the spring for your AC and in the fall for your heating system. Regular maintenance helps ensure optimal performance, improves energy efficiency, extends the lifespan of your unit, and can prevent unexpected breakdowns.
We offer a comprehensive range of HVAC services for both residential and commercial clients. This includes installation, repair, and maintenance of air conditioning systems, furnaces, heat pumps, and ductwork. We also specialize in indoor air quality solutions and smart thermostat integration.
