I’m genuinely pleased with the service technician that comes out for the annual maintenance procedure. This time, I wasn’t disappointed either. I will continue to recommend this company for service. Thanks!

Out with the old, in with the new.
How do I know my HVAC unit is at the end of its life?
Age of the Unit
The average lifespan of an HVAC unit is 15 years. Units that are 10-years and older can start to wear out. If you have an older system, it’s probably more cost-effective to replace it than to continue to make repairs. Bonus: a newer HVAC system will definitely be more energy efficient!
Noises: Knocks, Clanks, and Rattles
If your HVAC system is making sounds you’ve never heard before, then it’s time to give us a call. Strange, persistent sounds usually indicate a problem that is best addressed sooner rather than later.
Foul Odors
When a burning smell is a cause for serious concern:
- It smells like electrical wires are burning
- It smells like burning rubber
- There is a persistent musty/mildew smell
- Your heater smells smoky or oily
Humidity
The EPA recommends that homes keep a humidity level between 30-50%. When levels exceed 60%, they can lead to mold and mildew growth, dust mites, asthma, allergies, and more. If your HVAC system is older or the wrong size for your home, it may be inefficient in removing water from the air. This means that your system will have to work longer and harder to cool or heat your home, adding wear to the unit, and it may never deliver the result that you want: a comfortable home.
Weak Airflow, Blowing Hot Air, or Leaks
If the air coming out of your vents isn’t the right temperature or isn’t blowing forcefully enough, then this is a sign something’s not right with your system. Cracked ducts or leaking freon could be the culprit. Regardless, it’s best to give us a call to assess the problem.
Your HVAC System Uses R22 Freon
R22 Freon is being phased out and has become very costly to replace. It’s more cost-effective in the long run to buy a new unit rather than keeping the old one limping along.
High Energy Bills
Need we say more? Higher energy bills are never good news!
Recurring Repairs
Although we love seeing our customers, we really shouldn’t be seeing you too often. If you have to schedule multiple repairs with us, it’s probably time to invest in a new HVAC system.
If your AC unit is experiencing any of these symptoms, please call a Stuart Pro Comfort Specialist. 770.813.1316
How to Choose a New HVAC System
Installing or replacing central air is a big commitment and investment in your home, and all the choices available can be overwhelming. We’ve put together a buying guide to help you make the most informed decision you can.
System Size
35–50% of your annual energy bill accounts for heating your home. Another 50% of annual energy bills are due to cooling your home. Your energy savings and unit performance will suffer if you buy a system that’s both too small or too large for your home. Our Comfort Specialists are trained to know exactly what unit will fit best for your home and our local Georgia climate.
Efficiency Ratings
An efficient system will pay you back in energy consumption. HVAC units use a rating system known as “SEER Ratings” (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio), which ranges from a SEER rating of 7.7 to 18+. Although many other factors weigh into choosing the right SEER rating for your home, the higher the SEER rating, the more energy-efficient the unit is. You should purchase a unit with a SEER rating of 15 or greater.
Local Climate
