FAQs
How can I tell my furnace or heat pump in Decatur needs professional repair?
Watch for persistent cold spots, rising energy bills without changing thermostat settings, unusual noises (grinding, banging, squealing), short-cycling (frequent on/off), strange odors, or the system failing to start at all. If you notice any of these, shut the unit off and call our expert technicians—continuing to run a struggling heater can lead to costly damage or even safety hazards.
What types of heating equipment do your technicians service in Decatur?
Our NATE-certified team repairs gas furnaces, electric furnaces, heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, mini-splits, and packaged rooftop units. We carry a broad inventory of OEM and high-quality aftermarket parts for all major brands including Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, and York, ensuring fast, reliable fixes for residential and light-commercial customers alike.
How fast can you respond to an emergency no-heat situation?
We offer 24/7 emergency heat repair across Decatur and the surrounding communities. Calls received before 10 p.m. typically see a technician on-site within two hours; overnight calls are prioritized for first-available dispatch. Our fully stocked service vans allow most repairs to be completed on the first visit, minimizing downtime in chilly weather.
What happens during a typical heat repair service call?
1) Arrival & safety check: The technician verifies gas or electrical safety and protects your flooring with shoe covers. 2) Diagnostic testing: We inspect the thermostat, airflow, ignition, sensors, motors, and electrical components using digital meters and combustion analyzers. 3) Explanation & quote: You receive a written estimate before any work begins. 4) Repair & verification: Approved repairs are completed, followed by system calibration and a performance test. 5) Documentation: We provide a detailed report and recommendations to prevent future issues.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Yes. All field personnel hold Georgia Conditioned Air Contractor licenses, EPA Section 608 refrigerant certification, and NATE specialty certifications in gas heating and air distribution. The company carries full general liability and workers’ compensation insurance, giving you peace of mind on every service visit.
How does preventive maintenance reduce the need for future heat repairs?
Seasonal tune-ups include cleaning burners and heat exchangers, tightening electrical connections, lubricating motors, checking refrigerant charge (for heat pumps), and verifying safety limits. This not only boosts efficiency by 10-15 % but also catches small issues—like a cracked igniter or weak capacitor—before they escalate into mid-winter breakdowns. We recommend scheduling maintenance each fall to maximize comfort and minimize repair costs.
