Homes & equipment
Heating and cooling in Georgia
Many metro Atlanta homes have two systems, often a gas furnace with AC for the main floor and a heat pump for upstairs. Attic air handlers and long duct runs are common in two-story homes.
South Georgia and the coast lean heavily toward cooling and heat pumps, while north Georgia mountain homes see more freezing nights.
Common problems
HVAC problems we see in Georgia

Humidity and pine pollen
Spring pollen clogs filters and outdoor coils, while summer humidity tests drainage and sizing.
Clay soil and outdoor units
Settling pads can tilt outdoor units, straining refrigerant lines.

FAQ
Georgia HVAC questions
Why do many Georgia homes have two HVAC systems?+
Two-story homes are hard to cool evenly with one system, so builders often install separate systems for each floor.
When do Georgia homeowners need furnace service?+
Before November. North Georgia and metro Atlanta get freezing nights, and furnaces often fail on the first cold snap.
