FAQs
How do I know if my heating system needs professional repair?
Common warning signs include uneven temperatures between rooms, strange noises (banging, screeching, or rattling), frequent cycling on and off, higher-than-normal utility bills, or a persistent burning or musty smell when the system runs. If your thermostat settings no longer match the actual room temperature or your system struggles to start, it is best to call our certified technicians. Quick attention prevents minor issues from turning into costly breakdowns, especially during Athens’ colder winter nights.
What types of heating systems do your certified technicians service in Athens?
Our team is trained and equipped to repair furnaces (gas, electric, and oil), heat pumps, dual-fuel systems, ductless mini-splits, boilers, and packaged HVAC units commonly found in Athens homes and businesses. We also handle hybrid heating setups and provide indoor air quality solutions, ensuring each component—from blower motors to thermostats—runs smoothly and safely.
Are your technicians licensed and insured, and what certifications do they hold?
Yes. Every technician is state-licensed, fully insured, and EPA 608-certified to handle refrigerants safely. Many also carry NATE (North American Technician Excellence) certification, the industry’s leading credential for HVAC proficiency. Ongoing factory training keeps our staff current on the latest diagnostic tools, energy-efficient technologies, and manufacturer warranty requirements.
How quickly can you respond to emergency heat repair calls in Athens?
We offer 24/7 emergency service with a live dispatcher—no answering machines. For most calls within Athens-Clarke County, a technician is on site within 2–4 hours, often sooner during off-peak times. Our service vans are stocked with common replacement parts, allowing us to complete the majority of repairs on the first visit and restore heat the same day.
What should I expect during a typical heat repair visit?
Upon arrival, the technician will review your concerns, perform a multi-point diagnostic inspection (electrical connections, gas pressure, heat exchanger integrity, airflow, safety controls), and explain the findings. You’ll receive a transparent quote before any work begins. Once approved, repairs are completed, the system is tested for proper operation, and the work area is left clean. We finish with maintenance tips and a written report documenting the repair and any warranty information.
How can I prevent future heating breakdowns and extend the life of my system?
Schedule professional maintenance twice a year—cooling tune-ups in spring and heating tune-ups in fall. Replace or clean air filters every 1 –3 months, keep supply and return vents unobstructed, and install a programmable or smart thermostat to reduce unnecessary runtime. Enrolling in our Comfort Club plan gives you priority scheduling, discounts on repairs, and annual safety inspections, all of which help spot issues early, boost efficiency, and add years to your system’s lifespan.
