HVAC Services in Athens, GA
Blount Heating and Cooling is a family-owned HVAC company serving Athens, GA since 1986 from our shop in neighboring Bogart. Our licensed, NATE-certified technicians repair, install and maintain air conditioners, heat pumps, furnaces, ductless mini-splits and indoor air quality systems for homes and businesses across Athens-Clarke County.
Looking for a Local HVAC Company in Athens?
Blount Heating and Cooling has kept Athens homes and businesses comfortable since 1986. Our shop is at 204 Ben Burton Circle in Bogart, just outside of town, and our technicians work across Athens, from the Atlanta Highway corridor and the Westside to Five Points, Normaltown and the Eastside.
Athens has some of the oldest housing in the region. Historic homes in Cobbham, Boulevard and Normaltown often have aging ductwork or none at all, while newer houses and apartments fight undersized systems and heavy summer humidity. Whether it's an aging heat pump, leaky ductwork in a crawlspace or a converted attic that never cools down, we find the real cause and fix it right. We look at repair before we ever recommend replacing.
What HVAC Services Does Blount Offer in Athens?
Air Conditioning Repair, Installation and Maintenance
Athens summers bring weeks of 90-degree days and heavy humidity, and an AC that struggles in June rarely makes it to September without help. We repair all major brands, replace worn capacitors, motors and compressors, clear clogged condensate lines and install high-efficiency systems sized for your home. Learn more about AC repair, AC installation and AC replacement.
Furnace, Heat Pump and Heating Service
Many Athens homes heat with heat pumps, while older houses often still run gas furnaces. We troubleshoot no-heat calls, short cycling, burning smells and climbing energy bills, and we install new heating equipment when repair no longer makes sense. See our heating repair, furnace and heat pump services.
Indoor Air Quality and Humidity Control
Between spring pollen, older homes with drafty crawlspaces and damp summers, the air inside many Athens homes could use some help. We install air purification, upgraded filtration, whole-home dehumidifiers and humidifiers that work with your existing system. Explore indoor air quality and humidity control options.

I needed a new heat pump to replace my 20-year-old unit and called three top-rated providers in Athens. Blount came in a few thousand less than the next closest. Couldn't be happier with Ivan and the team.

Should You Repair or Replace Your AC, Heat Pump or Furnace?
There's no single cutoff, but these are the signs our technicians weigh when an Athens homeowner asks whether a system is worth fixing. We always price the repair first so you can compare.
| Factor | Repair usually makes sense | Replacement is worth a look |
|---|---|---|
| System age | AC or heat pump under 10 years old, furnace under 15 | AC or heat pump past 12 to 15 years, furnace past 15 to 20 |
| Repair cost | A small share of what a new system costs | Approaching half the cost of a new system |
| Refrigerant | Uses R-410A or a newer refrigerant | Uses R-22 (Freon), which is no longer produced in the U.S. |
| Repair history | First major repair in several years | Several repairs in the last two seasons |
| Energy bills | Steady from year to year | Climbing with no change in how you use the system |
| Comfort | Even temperatures and normal humidity | Hot or cold rooms and a house that feels damp |

Common Athens HVAC Questions
Straight answers to the questions we hear most from homeowners in Athens. Still have a question? Call us at (706) 548-6933 or send us a message.
Does Blount serve all of Athens-Clarke County?
Yes. We serve homes and businesses throughout Athens-Clarke County, including Five Points, Normaltown, the Eastside, the Westside and the Atlanta Highway corridor, along with nearby Winterville. Our shop is in neighboring Bogart, and we've served the area since 1986.
Do you offer emergency HVAC service in Athens?
Our office is open Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM, and our answering service takes calls after hours and on weekends. When a heating or cooling problem puts your household at risk, such as no AC in extreme heat or no heat on a freezing night, we schedule priority emergency service and get a technician to you in Athens as soon as possible, even after hours when we can.
Can you add central air or a mini-split to an older Athens home?
Yes. Many older Athens homes were built without ductwork or have ducts that are too small or too leaky for modern equipment. Depending on the house, we may recommend ductless mini-splits, duct repair or replacement, or a new heat pump or central air system. We'll look at the home first and explain the options.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
Twice a year: once in the spring before cooling season and once in the fall before you need heat. Regular tune-ups catch small problems early, help your system run efficiently and extend its life. Our Preventative Maintenance Agreement keeps you on schedule and includes priority service.
Should I repair or replace my AC or heat pump?
We always look at AC repair or heat pump repair first. Replacement usually makes sense when a system is 12 to 15 years old or older, needs frequent or costly repairs, or can no longer keep your home comfortable. Our technicians walk you through the options so you can make the choice that fits your home and budget.
Do you offer financing on new HVAC systems?
Yes. Financing is available on qualifying new system installations. Visit our financing page or ask your technician for details.
