AC Repair in Atlanta

Most AC failures come down to a few parts: a weak capacitor, a burned contactor, a clogged condensate drain, low refrigerant from a leak, or a failing fan motor. A licensed tech tests each one, shows you the reading, and gives a written price before replacing anything.

Atlanta

AC Repair in Atlanta: what's different

Atlanta AC repair often involves two-story homes with an attic system serving the upstairs, where heat and long duct runs make failures more noticeable. Pine pollen in spring coats outdoor coils and clogs filters, which shows up as frozen coils once summer heat arrives.

Older intown homes in Virginia-Highland, Grant Park and Kirkwood may have basement or crawl space ductwork with leaks. Many repairs involve capacitors, contactors and refrigerant leaks in aging coils.

Ask whether your attic ducts are sealed and insulated. In Atlanta's two-story homes, leaky attic ducts are a common reason the upstairs never cools, even after a repair.

Atlanta climate

Hot, humid summers, mild to cool winters with occasional ice storms, and heavy spring pollen.
