Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Smyrna, GA, home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Carter & Sons HVAC professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need air conditioning installation service? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Georgia home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Carter & Sons HVAC team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options, with approved credit, to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.
Air Conditioning Repairs
Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Georgia can be exasperating. Whenever you need air conditioning repairs, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.
There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:
- Hearing an unusual noise
- Smelling an unusual odor like burning
- Feeling warm air coming from your vents
- Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
- Leaking water
These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Carter & Sons HVAC team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.
Sometimes a repair turns into an emergency. Give us a call when it’s urgent. We are here 24/7 for you.

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!”
