Residents across Metro Atlanta know that a functional air conditioning system is a survival tool once the Georgia humidity climbs. When the red clay dust settles and the thermometer hits triple digits, R.S. Andrews provides the technical grit required to keep your home livable. Our team has spent decades cooling local families through the longest, stickiest seasons in the South.

Our Air Conditioning Services

Air Conditioning Repair

When your cooling system fails during a July heatwave, our technicians provide rapid diagnostics to restore your comfort. We fix common mechanical failures like frozen evaporator coils and refrigerant leaks that plague Atlanta homeowners. Our team arrives in fully stocked trucks to handle emergency repairs for all major brands and models.

Air Conditioning Installation

If your current unit is over a decade old or constantly breaking down, a high-efficiency replacement is the smartest investment. We perform precise load calculations to ensure your new unit is perfectly sized for your specific floor plan. Our installation process focuses on airflow calibration to maximize your monthly energy savings.

Air Conditioning Maintenance: The 30-Point Check

Regular tune-ups prevent mid-summer breakdowns and extend the operational life of your cooling equipment. At R.S. Andrews, we perform a high-resolution (1080 dp) deep internal scan to catch hidden defects before they become expensive failures.

Air conditioning systems depend on airflow, refrigerant balance, drainage, and electrical stability. Our maintenance visit follows a structured process so nothing gets skipped and every major component is evaluated.

Here’s how we work through your system:

System Interior & Airflow Inspection

We begin with a detailed internal review of the equipment and air-moving components.

• High Resolution (1080 dp) Deep Internal Scan

• Camera scan blower assembly, inspect the blower wheel and motor

• Check blower capacitor

• Measure blower amps

• Inspect evaporator coil

• Inspect heat exchanger

• Measure temperature difference across evaporator coil

• Replace standard 1 inch pleated filter

• Inspect ductwork

• Inspect flue pipe

This portion verifies airflow condition, internal cleanliness, and proper system operation from the air handler outward.

Outdoor Unit & Refrigerant System

Next, we evaluate refrigerant performance and condenser condition to ensure the system can reject heat properly.

• Check refrigerant charge

• Tighten all refrigerant service valve caps and covers

• Inspect condenser coil

• Clean out debris from bottom of condenser

• Inspect fan blade

• Check low and high pressure switches

These steps help prevent efficiency loss, overheating, and compressor strain during peak summer demand.

Drainage & Moisture Protection

Condensate management protects your home and your system from water damage and shutdowns.

• Flush condensate drain line

• Check all drain safety switches

• Check condensate pump and line (if applicable)

Clearing and testing these components reduces the risk of water backups and float switch trips.

Electrical & Component Testing

Air conditioners operate under significant electrical load. We measure and verify performance at each critical point.

• Test high voltage at disconnect and condenser

• Check and tighten all electrical connections

• Check and tighten all low voltage connections

• Measure compressor mega ohms

• Measure compressor amps

• Measure fan amps

• Test compressor run and start capacitors

• Check compressor terminal connections

• Check thermostat operation

This testing helps identify weak capacitors, wiring concerns, or compressor issues before they cause breakdowns.

Final Documentation & Completion

Before leaving your home, we complete the final steps that ensure everything is documented and left in proper condition.

• Update inspection label

• Clean up after tune-up

Every maintenance visit follows this full 30-point checklist. If we find wear, electrical weakness, or refrigerant concerns, we’ll explain what we’re seeing and what it means for the system’s reliability going forward.
