Benefits of a New Air Conditioning System
A new air conditioning system will keep your Smyrna, GA, home safe and comfortable during the hotter months in Georgia. It will also run more efficiently and potentially lower your energy bills.
Older air conditioning units tend to run longer and use more electricity. A new air conditioner, especially a variable-speed model, uses less electricity, saving you money.

How Long Does an Air Conditioning Unit Last?
Your air conditioning system might turn on and off, but that does not mean you are getting the best value for your money in terms of comfort and energy savings. Central air conditioners lose efficiency as they age.
Parts wear out, and AC repairs are more frequent.
As your air conditioning unit struggles to maintain efficiency, it uses more energy and increases electricity spending. More frequent repairs will have you opening your wallet again and again.
Well-maintained central air conditioners can last 10 to 15 years before they slow down, although ENERGY STAR® recommends setting a replacement budget for a unit “more than 10 years old.”
Understanding SEER2 Ratings
SEER2 stands for Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio 2, a rating that measures a cooling system’s energy efficiency. The higher the SEER2 number, the greater the energy efficiency.
Different parts of the country have different rating standards based on the climate and how hot it gets outdoors. For example, new central air conditioners must have a minimum 13.4 SEER2 rating in the northern states and 14.3 in the southwest.
How Long Does Air Conditioner Installation Take?
Our licensed air conditioning installers at Carter & Sons HVAC typically have a new system in service in under one day. The installation may take a bit longer if we need to extend ductwork or do a little extra to facilitate the best use of your new energy-efficient air conditioner.
When Is the Best Time to Buy a New Air Conditioner?
Early spring or fall is the best time to call for a new air conditioning installation with little wait. But any time you need one is the best answer. We can install a new air conditioner throughout the year in your Smyrna, GA, home.
Also, if you need a new heating system, replacing your cooling system at the same time is generally more cost-effective in terms of installation costs and vice versa.

All in all, even though I hate having to spend that much money, it was an essential spend. I am very happy that I chose Carter and Sons who I believe will be there if I need them. They seem to have a more personalized approach than some of the big A/C boys out there (you know who they are) so thanks John for taking the time to show up so fast and to get this scheduled for the last minute. Appreciate it!”

“This morning around 1:30 am I heard a familiar noise coming from my breaker panel. Familiar, because the noise always happens when my A/C system comes on. BUT, this morning the noise kept happening! After 3 times in span of 2 minutes of hearing this noise, I thought I should turn off the A/C to keep a potential electrical fire from happening. I was nervous and praying the noise would not be a huge issue. 8am comes and I call Katie at C&S and she is able to schedule a visit for me between 10 and 12 this morning! GREAT! Darren, who had previously serviced my system, shows up and I instantly feel comfortable and well taken care of. We chat a bit, I tell him what's happening and he goes out to check the outdoor part of the system. A few minutes later Darren comes back and says, "Mr. Bob, it WAS the capacitor (which Mac, another wonderful service tech had diagnosed a few months earlier! I chose not to replace the part on diagnosis, hoping to get a little more life out of it). So, ba-da-bing, ba-da-boom problem fixed and I am cool again! Before leaving, Darren advised me to have an electrical inspection done due to the age and noises coming out of my very dated breaker panel. All of the service techs I have worked with at C&S are super fantastic! Katie in the office is super! They just do it "right" at Carter & Sons!”

“The AC went out and it’s hot out. I called Carter and Sons as they do my maintenance on the unit. Carter and Sons was able to get Mac out to my house within hours. The issue was explained to me and corrected. Service is always friendly and professional. Carter and Sons communicates clearly on when the tech is arriving. I highly recommend Carter and Sons!”
