A new air conditioner is a big decision. The right system, sized and installed correctly, keeps your home comfortable and controls humidity through long Georgia summers. Home Run installs and replaces central AC systems for homeowners in Covington, Conyers, McDonough and nearby communities.
When Replacement Makes Sense
- The system is around 12 to 15 years old or older
- It uses R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced, so refrigerant repairs are costly
- Major repairs are needed, such as a compressor or coil replacement
- Energy bills keep rising, or the system struggles on hot afternoons
- The house stays humid or some rooms never cool down
Choosing the Right System
We size your new AC with a load calculation, not a guess or the size of the old unit. An oversized AC cools quickly but shuts off before it removes enough humidity, leaving the house cold and clammy. An undersized one runs nonstop on the hottest days.
- Single-stage systems are simple and budget-friendly
- Two-stage and variable-speed systems run longer at lower speeds for steadier temperatures and better humidity control
- Efficiency ratings are listed as SEER2. Higher numbers use less electricity for the same cooling
- Heat pumps cool like an AC and also heat. See heat pump installation
A Complete Installation
We install a matched outdoor unit and indoor coil, check or replace the refrigerant line set, set up a proper condensate drain, verify airflow and refrigerant charge, and configure the thermostat. We also look at your ductwork, because even a new system cannot perform well through leaky or undersized ducts.
AC Installation FAQs
Should I replace my furnace at the same time?
If your furnace or air handler is also aging, replacing both together is often more efficient and ensures the indoor and outdoor equipment are properly matched. See furnace replacement.
How long does AC installation take?
Many straightforward replacements are completed in a day. Line set replacement, ductwork changes or a system type change can add time.
Keep your new system running well with yearly AC maintenance. Serving Covington, Conyers, Monroe and Madison.
