FAQs
What types of HVAC problems can you repair in Rutledge homes and businesses?
Our technicians handle the full spectrum of heating and air‐conditioning issues common in Rutledge, including refrigerant leaks, frozen evaporator coils, faulty thermostats, blower motor failures, cracked heat exchangers, clogged condensate drains, electrical control problems, and airflow restrictions. We also repair ductless mini-split systems, heat pumps, gas furnaces, and packaged rooftop units for light-commercial properties.
How fast can I expect a technician to arrive if I need emergency service?
For true no-heat or no-cool emergencies, we provide 24/7 dispatch and can usually have a fully stocked service truck at your Rutledge address within 2–4 hours, often sooner. During normal business hours, most non-emergency calls are scheduled the same day or next morning. Arrival windows are confirmed by text or phone, and you can track your technician’s ETA in real time.
Are your HVAC repair technicians certified and insured?
Yes. Every field technician holds EPA Section 608 refrigerant certification and receives ongoing factory and NATE (North American Technician Excellence) training. Our company is fully licensed by the State of Georgia, carries $2 million in general liability coverage, and maintains workers’ compensation insurance for your protection.
Do you provide upfront pricing or free estimates before starting a repair?
Absolutely. After diagnosing the problem, your technician will present a flat-rate quote that lists all parts, labor, and any after-hours fees—no hidden charges. If you decide not to proceed, the only cost is the diagnostic fee, which is waived if you authorize the repair at the same visit.
How do I know whether it’s smarter to repair or replace my HVAC system?
We follow the “50 Percent Rule.” If your unit is over 10–12 years old and the repair would exceed 50 percent of the cost of a new, higher-efficiency system, replacement is usually recommended. We also consider frequency of past repairs, energy bills, refrigerant type (R-22 vs. R-410A), comfort complaints, and available rebates. Your technician will explain options so you can make an informed decision.
What maintenance steps can Rutledge homeowners take to reduce future repair needs?
Change 1-inch filters every 30–60 days, keep outdoor condenser coils clear of leaves and grass clippings, pour a cup of white vinegar into the condensate drain line each spring, and schedule professional tune-ups twice a year—once before cooling season and once before heating season. Regular maintenance can cut unexpected breakdowns by up to 40 percent and may keep your manufacturer warranty valid.
