Full FAQ
Do HVAC contractors need a license in Georgia?

Yes. Heating and cooling contractors must be licensed as conditioned air contractors through the Georgia Construction Industry Licensing Board. Ask for the license number and verify it.

When should I replace rather than repair my HVAC system?

A good rule of thumb is that systems over 15 years old, units with frequent repairs, or systems using R-22 refrigerant are candidates for replacement. A licensed contractor should walk you through the math before you decide.

Should an HVAC replacement include a permit?

In most Georgia jurisdictions, replacing a heating or cooling system requires a permit and inspection. Confirm with your contractor that they will pull it as part of the job.
