FAQs
What types of state-of-the-art air conditioning systems do you install in Calhoun?
We install a full range of contemporary AC technologies, including high-efficiency variable-speed split systems, inverter-driven heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, and smart, Wi-Fi-enabled packaged units. All models we carry meet or exceed the latest DOE SEER2 efficiency standards and are specifically selected to perform optimally in Northwest Georgia’s humid subtropical climate.
How energy-efficient are the new AC units you offer compared with older models?
Today’s high-efficiency systems can cut cooling energy use by 30–50 % versus units that are 10–15 years old. Many of our installations reach SEER2 ratings of 18–22, incorporate variable-speed compressors that modulate output instead of cycling on/off, and use electronically commutated motors (ECMs) in the air handler. Together, these technologies lower monthly power bills, reduce wear on components, and qualify homeowners for utility rebates or federal tax credits.
What is the typical installation timeline for a residential air conditioning system in Calhoun?
For most single-family homes, installation takes one full day. The process includes removal of the old equipment, setting the new outdoor condenser, installing or adapting the indoor air handler/coil, pressure-testing and evacuating the refrigerant lines, wiring the thermostat, and completing a full system start-up and performance test. Larger homes, multi-zone ductless systems, or projects requiring duct modifications may extend to two days, but we always provide a detailed schedule before work begins.
Do you offer financing or rebates for high-efficiency air conditioners?
Yes. We partner with leading financing providers to offer low-APR, zero-down payment plans ranging from 12 to 120 months. Additionally, many high-efficiency models qualify for Georgia Power rebates, TVA incentives, and the federal 25C tax credit—currently up to 30 % of the installed cost, capped at $2,000. Our comfort consultants handle all paperwork and can bundle any rebates directly into your financing to lower out-of-pocket costs.
How often should my new AC system be serviced to maintain its warranty and performance?
Manufacturers require professional preventive maintenance at least once per year—typically every spring—to keep the warranty valid. During the visit, our NATE-certified technicians clean coils, check refrigerant charge, inspect electrical components, calibrate the thermostat, and verify airflow. Annual tune-ups not only protect the warranty but also sustain peak efficiency, preventing up to 10 % performance loss each season.
What steps do you take to size and design a system that fits my home and Calhoun’s climate?
We start with an ACCA Manual J heat-load calculation that considers square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, and local weather data for Calhoun. Next, we perform a Manual S equipment selection to match capacity precisely to the load, followed by a Manual D duct design (or line-set routing plan for ductless) to ensure proper airflow. This engineered approach prevents oversizing, eliminates humidity issues common in North Georgia, and guarantees comfort in every room while minimizing energy use.
