Do not wait for the gas main. Install for the fuel you have

The single most common thing we hear at this end of the county is some version of "we might get gas out here eventually." Maybe — but a replacement decision made on that hope is a decision to keep buying delivered propane for the fifteen or twenty years the new equipment lasts, and the main arrives on the utility's schedule rather than yours. There is no published service-territory map to check against, so nobody can tell you when. The recommendation that survives either outcome is a heat pump carrying the season with the existing appliance kept as backup rather than as the primary heat. If the main never comes, you have already stopped buying most of your winter fuel. If it does come, the backup appliance is the thing you swap, and the expensive half of the system is untouched. It is the same equipment either way, and it is the only version of this decision that does not require predicting a utility.

The same thing is true wherever you are

New equipment on a bad duct system reproduces the complaint you already have at a higher price. Static pressure takes twenty minutes to measure and it decides whether a replacement will actually fix what you called about, so we measure it before we quote equipment rather than after you are unhappy. And one thing we will not do: tell you how many years your new system will last. There is no authoritative published service-life figure for this equipment — none, from anybody — so every number you have been quoted for that was somebody's estimate wearing a lab coat. What we can tell you is what we found, what we measured, and what the manufacturer's terms actually say.

What's covered

Each of these is a service in its own right, offered in Ball Ground and everywhere else we work.

Questions people ask

How long does a straight changeout take?
One day for a single system with no duct modification, usually eight to ten hours. If the plenum has to be rebuilt, the line set replaced through a finished ceiling, or the electrical service touched, it goes to two days and we tell you that before you sign.
What actually changes the price?
Duct modification, line-set replacement versus flush-and-reuse, electrical upgrades, code corrections the inspector will look for, a second system, and how hard the equipment is to get to. The published range below covers a straight replacement and says what it excludes.
Can you reuse my existing line set?
Sometimes. It depends on the diameter against the new equipment, its condition, and what refrigerant ran through it. A line set that carried a burned-out compressor's acid should not carry a new one. We flush and pressure-test it, or we replace it, and we tell you which before we quote it — not after we open the wall.
Do I need a permit?
Yes. There is no state permit requirement in Georgia — the state deletes the administrative chapter that would create one — but every jurisdiction we work in requires a mechanical permit for equipment replacement, and the permit is in our price. In Cherokee County it is a flat mechanical service permit issued only to state-licensed technicians.
What does the warranty actually cover?
The parts warranty is the manufacturer's, not ours, and its length depends on registration. Read the registration terms below — the number people quote and the number you get are two different things unless somebody files the paperwork.
