AC Repair

AC Repair: Common Problems We Fix

Most AC calls start with one of these. A technician tests the system to find the cause before recommending a repair.

  • AC running but not cooling

    Warm air from the vents can come from a failed capacitor, low refrigerant, a dirty coil or an outdoor unit that isn’t running. Why your AC isn’t cooling.

  • Weak airflow

    A clogged filter, a struggling blower motor, a frozen coil or leaky ductwork can leave rooms with barely any air. Duct cleaning & sealing.

  • Frozen coil or water leaking

    Ice on the lines or water around the indoor unit usually points to an airflow problem, low refrigerant or a clogged drain line. What an iced-up coil means.

  • AC won’t turn on

    Thermostat, wiring, contactor and safety-switch problems can all keep the system from starting.

  • Short cycling

    A system that turns on and off every few minutes can have an electrical fault or be oversized for the home.

  • Strange noises or smells

    Grinding, buzzing, squealing or a burning smell is a reason to shut the system off and call.

Heating Repair

Furnace & Heat Pump Repair

When the heat goes out, we diagnose gas furnaces, electric furnaces and heat pumps by measurement, not guesswork.

  • No heat

    A furnace that runs without heating, or won’t start at all, often has an igniter, flame sensor, pressure switch or control board problem.

  • Heat pump blowing cool air

    Heat pumps can lose heating capacity from low refrigerant, a stuck reversing valve or a defrost problem.

  • Furnace short cycling

    Frequent on-off cycles can mean overheating, a dirty flame sensor or a restricted filter. Why furnaces short cycle.

No heat or no cooling and it can’t wait? See emergency HVAC service or call (706) 629-0749. More on heating repair.

How Repairs Work

Diagnosis First, Then a Firm Price

  1. $89 diagnostic

    A technician tests the system and finds the actual problem. The $89 is waived when you choose a repair or install option.

  2. A firm price

    You get the price of the repair before any work begins, along with any other options worth considering.

  3. You decide

    Approve the repair, ask questions or take time to think. Nothing is done without your OK.

Repair or Replace?

Should You Repair or Replace Your System?

We’ll tell you honestly which makes more sense for your home. These are the things we weigh with you.

Repair

Repair usually makes sense when

  • The failed part is a smaller or mid-range repair, like a capacitor, motor or igniter.
  • The system is younger and has been reliable.
  • The home has stayed comfortable and bills haven’t climbed.

Replace

Replacement is worth comparing when

  • A major part fails, like a compressor, coil or heat exchanger, on an older system.
  • Repairs keep coming back.
  • The system uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured.
  • Some rooms never get comfortable.

Signs it’s time to replace your HVAC

The Whole Home Matters

Your HVAC Is Part of Your Home’s Comfort System

Your heating and cooling system doesn’t work in isolation. Ductwork, controls, insulation and air leakage all affect how well it heats and cools your home. A new or repaired system works best when the rest of the house is working with it.

Home Comfort

These parts work together.

  • Heating & coolingHeats and cools the air in your home.
  • DuctworkCarries conditioned air to every room.
  • ThermostatTells the system when to run and when to stop.
  • InsulationSlows heat moving through attics, walls and floors.
  • Air sealingStops air leaking through gaps and cracks.

Right-Sized for Your Home

Every Anderson install gets a Manual J load calculation. No exceptions.

An oversized AC short-cycles, won't dehumidify and burns out compressors years early. An undersized one runs nonstop and never catches up. Either way, you pay for it on your power bill and in repairs.

Before we quote a replacement system, we perform a Manual J residential load calculation — the ACCA industry-standard sizing method that accounts for your home's insulation, windows, orientation, duct losses, infiltration and Georgia's actual climate data. Not a square-footage rule of thumb. Not a "your old system was a 3-ton, so the new one is a 3-ton" shortcut. The real math.

It takes us longer up front. It saves you money for years to come. That's the Anderson Difference on every install.

How We Work

Real diagnosis, not parts roulette.

Our NATE-certified technicians test capacitors, contactors, control boards and refrigerant pressures before recommending a repair. We replace what's actually broken — and tell you what's likely to fail next so you can plan.

  • BPI-certified whole-home approach. We test your insulation, air sealing and ductwork to make sure your system performs at its best.
  • In-house custom sheet metal shop. We fabricate ductwork at 519 Pine Street as part of your complete system — no middleman.
  • Family-owned since 1978. Same phone number. Same commitment to honest, quality work.

Installation Process

How an HVAC Installation or Replacement Works

The same process applies whether you’re replacing an AC, a furnace, a heat pump or the whole system.

  1. Measure the home

    A Manual J load calculation, plus blower-door and duct testing, shows what size system the home actually needs.

  2. Choose the equipment

    We match the indoor and outdoor equipment to the load and give you a firm price, with financing and rebate options where they apply.

  3. Install

    Our own crews remove the old equipment and set the new system. Most replacements are a one-day job.

  4. Commission and verify

    A deep vacuum, refrigerant charged to spec by measurement, and airflow checked before we call it done.

HVAC Installation

New System Installation

When replacement is the better choice, we size the new system to your home and install it with our own crews.

  • AC installation

    Right-sized central air from a Manual J load calculation.

  • Furnace replacement

    Gas and electric furnaces sized to the home, often paired with a new AC or coil so the system is matched.

  • Heat pumps & mini-splits

    Central heat pumps and ductless mini-splits for whole homes or single rooms.

When ducts need changing, our sheet metal shop at 519 Pine Street fabricates them to fit. Ways to pay: financing through approved lending partners and Georgia energy rebates where they apply.

Simple. Clear. No Pressure.

FAQ

HVAC Repair & Installation Questions

How much does HVAC repair cost in Calhoun GA?

Every repair starts with our flat $89 diagnostic, waived when you choose a repair or install option. Once we pinpoint the issue, you get a firm, upfront price before any work begins — no surprises.

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

Common causes include a failed capacitor, low refrigerant from a leak, a dirty coil or filter, a frozen evaporator coil or an outdoor unit that isn't running. A technician needs to test the system to know which one it is.

Should I repair or replace my HVAC system?

Repair usually makes sense when the failed part is a smaller repair and the system has been reliable. Replacement is worth comparing when a major part like a compressor, coil or heat exchanger fails on an older system, repairs keep coming back or the system uses R-22. We'll give you a price for both so you can decide.

How long does an HVAC installation or replacement take?

Most replacements are a one-day job. Before that day, we run the load calculation, test the home and ductwork, and give you a firm price, so the install itself goes smoothly.

Do you do AC and HVAC repair in Dalton GA?

Yes. We repair AC units, furnaces and heat pumps in Dalton and across Whitfield County, as well as Calhoun, Rome, Cartersville and the rest of Northwest Georgia.

How quickly can you respond to HVAC emergencies in Calhoun GA?

Emergency service availability depends on the time, location, and technician capacity. Call (706) 629-0749 and we’ll tell you honestly when we can be there.

Do you offer HVAC maintenance plans?

Yes. The Paws-itive Maintenance Plan is $30/month with no contract and includes two tune-ups a year, filter replacement, prioritized scheduling and 5% off HVAC repairs.

How do you decide what size HVAC system my home needs?

Every Anderson replacement install starts with a Manual J residential load calculation — the ACCA industry-standard sizing method. We measure your home, account for insulation levels, window orientation, duct losses, and air infiltration, then run the numbers against Georgia climate data. We do not size by square footage or by matching your old unit's tonnage.

Do you work on all HVAC brands?

Yes. Our NATE-certified technicians service Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, American Standard and all major brands.

Is insulation worth it if I already have a new HVAC system?

Absolutely. Your HVAC system is only as good as your home's insulation and air sealing. We regularly see substantial energy savings when combining HVAC upgrades with insulation and air sealing.

What financing options do you offer for HVAC and insulation?

We partner with Optimus (GreenSky and Wisetack) for flexible financing through our approved lending partners. Approval, terms, and monthly payments vary by customer, project, and credit profile. Ask about example payment scenarios when you call.

What areas do you serve for HVAC repair?

Calhoun, Dalton, Rome, Cartersville, Adairsville, Chatsworth, Jasper, Ellijay, Fairmount, Resaca and the communities around them in Northwest Georgia.
