FAQs
What types of air conditioning systems do you install in Decatur homes and businesses?
We install a full range of cooling solutions, including traditional split-system central air conditioners, high-efficiency heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, rooftop packaged units, and variable-speed inverter systems. Our technicians will evaluate your building layout, comfort goals, and budget to recommend the best system for your specific situation.
How do I know what size AC unit I need for my property?
Proper sizing is critical for comfort, efficiency, and equipment longevity. During your free on-site consultation we perform a Manual J load calculation that accounts for square footage, insulation levels, window orientation, occupancy, and local Decatur climate data. This precise assessment ensures the new unit is neither oversized nor undersized, eliminating issues such as humidity problems, short-cycling, and unnecessarily high energy bills.
How long does a typical air conditioner installation take?
Most residential replacements are completed in one day, including removal of the old equipment, installation of the new condenser and air handler, line-set flush or replacement, electrical hookups, and start-up testing. Larger homes, light-commercial projects, or jobs requiring duct modifications may take 2–3 days. We provide a detailed schedule in advance and keep you informed every step of the way.
Will my new AC system be energy-efficient, and can it lower my utility bills?
Absolutely. We install equipment that meets or exceeds the latest SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) standards, with options up to 20+ SEER2 for maximum savings. A properly sized, high-efficiency unit can reduce cooling costs by 20–40% compared to an older 10-SEER system. We also guide you on available Georgia Power rebates, federal tax credits, and smart-thermostat integrations to maximize your return on investment.
Do I need permits or inspections for a new AC installation in Decatur?
Yes. The City of Decatur and DeKalb County require mechanical permits for HVAC replacements and new installations. As a licensed and insured contractor, we handle all permitting, schedule any required city or county inspections, and ensure your system adheres to the latest mechanical, electrical, and refrigerant code requirements. This protects your home’s safety and preserves manufacturer warranties.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
Your new system includes a 10-year manufacturer parts warranty (registration required) and our 1-year labor warranty. For added peace of mind, we offer extended labor coverage up to 10 years and affordable maintenance plans that include spring and fall tune-ups, priority service, and discounts on repairs. Our 24/7 emergency hotline means you’re never without support if an issue arises.
