Heat Pump Repair in Georgia

Heat Pump Repair in Georgia: what's different
Heat Pump Repair across Georgia depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 2–4). Heat pumps fit hot-humid climates well because winters are mild, but the long cooling season means the outdoor unit works most of the year and needs its coil kept clean.
Georgia ranges from humid coastal plains around Savannah to the cooler foothills of north Georgia. Metro Atlanta has hot, humid summers and enough winter cold to need real heating, so both seasons matter.
Georgia licenses HVAC contractors through the Division of Conditioned Air Contractors of the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. Ask any contractor for their license number before work starts, and expect a written price for heat Pump Repair.
Georgia Power serves most of the state, with EMCs (electric cooperatives) and municipal utilities elsewhere. Natural gas is sold through marketers using Atlanta Gas Light's network in much of the state.
Georgia climate
Hot-humid climate, IECC climate zones 2–4. Many metro Atlanta homes have two systems, often a gas furnace with AC for the main floor and a heat pump for upstairs. Attic air handlers and long duct runs are common in two-story homes.
