What HVAC Systems Does Blount Install in Athens, GA?

Blount installs and replaces the full range of home and commercial comfort systems:

 

How Does Blount’s HVAC Installation Process Work?

We keep every installation to four clear steps:

 

  1. Contact. Call (706) 548-6933 or use our contact page to schedule a consultation. We answer your questions and talk through your options.
  2. Assessment and estimate. We visit your home to evaluate your cooling or heating needs, recommend the right system for your space, and give you a clear, upfront estimate.
  3. Installation. Our certified technicians remove the old equipment, install the new system with attention to proper sizing, refrigerant lines, electrical connections, and airflow testing, and clean up when the job is done.
  4. Completion. We verify the system is running efficiently and reliably, so you get year-round comfort from day one.

Why Does System Sizing Matter?

Getting the size right is the most important decision in an HVAC installation. A system that’s too small won’t keep up on a July afternoon in Athens. One that’s too large cycles on and off, wastes energy, and does a poor job removing humidity.

 

That’s why we start with an assessment of your home, not a catalog. Selecting the right system size keeps energy costs down and comfort up.

Which HVAC Brands Does Blount Install and Service?

We install and service equipment from these manufacturers:

 

  • Carrier
  • Trane
  • Bryant
  • American Standard
  • Tempstar
  • Goodman
  • Rinnai
  • Air Oasis (indoor air quality)

 

Your technician will help you choose based on your home, your comfort needs, and your budget.

Should I Choose a Heat Pump, a Furnace, or a Mini-Split?

The best option depends on your home and how you use it. Here’s a simple way to think about it:

 

  • Heat pump. A heat pump moves heat instead of creating it. The U.S. Department of Energy reports that air-source heat pumps can reduce electricity use for heating by up to 75% compared with electric resistance heating. In a mild climate like Athens, that makes them a popular all-in-one choice. Compare the options in our post on heat pumps versus furnaces in Athens.
  • Furnace plus AC. A traditional pairing that many homeowners already have. If your ductwork is in good shape, replacing like-for-like can be simple. See gas furnace versus electric furnace.
  • Mini-split. Ideal when you have no ducts, need to add a room, or want separate temperature control in different spaces. Read mini-splits versus central air.

How Do I Know When to Replace My AC or Heating System Instead of Repairing It?

At Blount, repair comes first. We make every effort to repair your equipment whenever possible, as part of the Blount Family Guarantee. Replacement makes sense when:

 

  • The system is old and breaking down repeatedly
  • Repair costs keep adding up
  • Your energy bills keep climbing without a change in your habits
  • The system can’t keep your home comfortable, even when it’s running
  • It has trouble with humidity, uneven temperatures, or noise

 

If several of those sound familiar, read our guides on when it’s time to replace your AC unit and how to choose the right-sized AC unit. Or call us and let a technician take a look before you decide.

How Can I Finance a New HVAC System in Athens?

Blount offers financing through the Carrier credit card issued by Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. With approved credit, you can spread out the cost with convenient monthly payments, manage your account online, and avoid tapping other funding, like a home equity line of credit or savings. Learn more on our financing page or ask your technician when you get your estimate.

Does Blount Handle Commercial HVAC and Indoor Air Quality in Athens, GA?

Yes. For commercial HVAC in Athens, GA, we install and replace rooftop and split systems for offices, schools, retail stores, and other large facilities. We offer planned maintenance contracts so breakdowns don’t catch businesses off guard. See our commercial HVAC services for details.

 

For indoor air quality services in Athens, GA, we install humidity control systems and indoor air quality equipment, including Air Oasis products, alongside a new AC, furnace, or heat pump. Georgia’s humidity makes this worth asking about during any installation, not just adding it later.

How Do I Protect My New System After Installation?

A new system works best when you maintain it. Our Preventative Maintenance Agreement starts at $155 per year. It includes two seasonal tune-ups, priority status, 15% off parts, a one-year parts-and-labor warranty on service repairs, a weekend emergency fee waiver, and air filter replacement. Members also get 5% off new equipment and indoor air quality systems, which is worth keeping in mind if you’re planning a bigger upgrade down the road.
