Ten months of work a year, then the power goes out
Your system in Houston County works from November through March, then again from May through September. Summer afternoons that hit 91°F mean the compressor runs hard for five straight months. Winter nights average 38°F from December through February, so the system just switches from cooling the house to heating it.
Most homes here heat with electricity, so a power outage takes the heat down with it. Georgia saw 31% of households lose power for at least 24 hours in 2024, and Houston County has logged 115 damaging wind events over the past ten years.

Georgia requires HVAC contractors to hold a state license.
Georgia's license comes from the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. It covers the contractor, not each individual job, so it stands as a record of who that contractor is rather than a sign-off on any one repair.
For a repair to your heating and cooling system, that license is what stands behind the person doing the work. Georgia's board is the one that put it there.

- Why is my heat not working?
- Most often it is the thermostat, a tripped breaker, or the igniter. Check that the thermostat is set to heat and the temperature is above room temperature, and check your breaker panel for a tripped switch. If those are fine, the igniter may have failed. That part wears out over years of heating cycles and is common on furnaces that run every winter from November through March here. With 86.5% of homes here heating with electricity, a tripped breaker is worth checking first before anything else.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- The air handler or fan is running, but something between it and the air in your rooms is not doing its job. A dirty filter blocks airflow across the coil, and if the coil ices up, the air coming out will feel weak or even warm. Low refrigerant will cause the same thing, but that is not something you can check yourself, since it means a leak somewhere in the line. If the filter looks clean and the vents are open, the problem is likely refrigerant or the compressor, and a contractor will need to check pressures to know which.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Check the thermostat first. Make sure it is set to the mode you want, heat or cool, and that the batteries are not dead. Check your breaker panel for anything tripped, and check the filter, since a clogged one can cause problems that look like bigger failures. If the outdoor unit is covered in leaves or debris, clear it. If none of that fixes it, a contractor will need to look at the equipment itself.
