Heating Services in Metro Atlanta

North Georgia winters are notorious for shifting from mild afternoons to freezing nights in a matter of hours. These sudden temperature swings put immense stress on your furnace or heat pump, especially when the red clay dust of Metro Atlanta begins to settle in your system’s components. R.S. Andrews provides the fast, reliable heating services you need to stay warm and safe regardless of the outdoor air.

When to Call for Heating Repair or Replacement

Heating is vital to keeping your home both safe and comfortable during cold months. Oftentimes, a component of your home’s HVAC system may be nearing the end of its lifespan and will start exhibiting unusual signs. Look for: 

• Weak Airflow: Restricted air from your vents often signals a failing blower motor or ductwork obstructions.

• Strange Noises: Grinding, banging, or squealing sounds usually suggest mechanical wear or loose internal components.

• Rising Energy Bills: Sudden spikes in your monthly utility costs often point toward a system that is no longer operating efficiently.

• Frequent Cycling: Systems that turn on and off rapidly are likely struggling to maintain your thermostat settings.

• Yellow Pilot Light: A pilot light that appears yellow instead of blue indicates a dangerous combustion problem or carbon monoxide risk.

We help Metro Atlanta homeowners select high-efficiency furnaces or heat pumps sized specifically for their home’s square footage. Our installation process follows strict industry standards to ensure your new unit provides reliable warmth for years to come.

Heating Maintenance and Tune-Ups

Regular maintenance extends the lifespan of your system and prevents mid-winter breakdowns that leave your family in the cold. Our maintenance visits include cleaning internal components, checking for gas leaks, and testing all safety controls. This proactive approach keeps your system running at peak efficiency and ensures you remain compliant with manufacturer warranty requirements.

Here’s how we complete your 30-point heating tune-up:

Internal Furnace Inspection & Combustion Review

We begin inside the furnace cabinet, examining combustion components and heat transfer surfaces.

• High Resolution (1080 dp) Deep Internal Furnace Scan

• Inspect heat exchanger and vacuum out minor rust deposits

• Inspect and clean burners

• Vacuum out minor rust around burners

• Check ignition controls

• Clean flame sensor

• Test gas valve operation

• Check gas connections at furnaces

• Check and adjust gas valve pressure (if necessary)

This portion ensures clean ignition, stable combustion, and proper fuel delivery.

Airflow & Blower Assembly

Next, we evaluate the components responsible for moving heated air through the home.

• Pull blower assembly or inspect the blower wheel and motor

• Measure temperature rise

• Measure blower amps

• Check blower capacitor

• Test fan control

• Inspect ductwork

• Replace standard 1 inch pleated filter

These steps confirm the furnace is heating within manufacturer specifications and distributing air properly.

Venting & Exhaust Safety

Proper venting protects the home from combustion byproducts and overheating.

• Inspect flue pipe

• Test inducer assembly

• Test pressure switch

This verifies exhaust gases are venting correctly and draft systems are functioning safely.

Electrical & Safety Control Testing

Modern furnaces rely on multiple safety switches and electrical controls. Each is tested individually.

• Test main limit switch

• Test flame rollout switches

• Test all safety controls

• Test door switch

• Check and tighten all electrical connections

• Check and tighten low voltage connections

• Measure high voltage to furnace

This portion of the inspection confirms that the system will shut down properly if unsafe conditions occur.

System Controls & Final Verification

We complete the tune-up by confirming system communication and documentation.

• Check thermostat operation

• Visual inspection of evaporator coil

• Update inspection label

• Clean up after completion of tune-up

Every heating maintenance visit follows this full 30-point checklist. If we identify wear, safety concerns, or developing component failure, we’ll explain the condition clearly and outline the next steps before the heating season is in full demand.
