Halden Heating & Air is the Atlanta HVAC company built around a simple idea: you should know the price before the work starts, and you should be able to track your technician to the door. Atlanta’s mix of 1980s-2000s suburban tract homes, older intown bungalows, and relentless summer humidity creates repair and installation jobs that are genuinely different from what crews see in drier cities. We’re independently owned and operated under the Relay Home Co. network, and every job carries a written price, a written guarantee, and a 365-Day Done Right Promise. Call (912) 616-5481 any time – a real person answers, day or night.
Why Atlanta Homes Are Different
Atlanta’s HVAC work is shaped by two forces: explosive suburban growth and a climate that punishes systems built for milder weather. Most homes here were built between 1980 and 2010, which means the original equipment is now hitting the 15-20 year mark and failing in predictable ways – leaking evaporator coils, rusted condensate pans, and compressors that give out during the first heat wave of June. The humidity is relentless. An AC system that cools the air but doesn’t dehumidify leaves a home at 75 degrees and 65% relative humidity, which feels like 80 and smells like mildew. That’s why Atlanta technicians spend as much time checking airflow and coil condition as they do chasing refrigerant leaks.
The housing stock varies enough to keep things interesting. In Buckhead and Sandy Springs, we regularly find 1990s-era R-22 systems still limping along, with rusted condensate pans from years of standing moisture. Intown bungalows in neighborhoods like Grant Park and Candler Park often have undersized ductwork that was never designed for modern AC loads. And the sprawl communities – Marietta, Alpharetta, Lawrenceville – are full of large two-story homes where the upstairs runs eight degrees warmer than the downstairs because the original builder cut corners on duct sizing. Heat pumps are common here because winters are mild, but the occasional hard freeze tests defrost controls in ways that Florida units never experience.
Styles & brands we work with
Our Main Atlanta Services
These are the three jobs we handle most often in Atlanta. Each has its own page with full pricing, timelines, and what to expect. If you need something else, call us and we’ll tell you straight whether it’s in our wheelhouse.
AC Repair in Atlanta
Most Atlanta AC repairs fall into a few predictable buckets: refrigerant leaks on older R-22 systems, failed capacitors on 90-degree afternoons, frozen evaporator coils caused by dirty filters or low airflow, and rusted condensate pans from the humidity. We diagnose first, then hand you a written price before a single tool comes off the truck. If the part’s on our truck – and for most common failures it is – we fix it the same visit. No overtime charge, no surprise line items. And every repair carries a written guarantee with a free return visit if it fails. Start with AC Repair in Atlanta for full details and pricing.
AC Installation in Atlanta
A new AC system in Atlanta has to do two jobs: cool the air and strip out the humidity. That means proper sizing matters more here than almost anywhere else in the Southeast. An oversized unit short-cycles and never runs long enough to dehumidify. An undersized unit runs constantly and never catches up on a 95-degree day. We run a load calculation on every install, not a guess based on square footage. Written quote, a set install date, and we handle the paperwork on any rebates or financing. Full details are on AC Installation in Atlanta.
Furnace Repair in Atlanta
Atlanta winters are short, but when a furnace fails in January, it fails fast – and many of these units haven’t been touched since the previous spring. Common Atlanta furnace failures include cracked heat exchangers on older gas units, faulty ignitors, and blower motors worn out from running the AC all summer. Safety comes first: if there’s any question about carbon monoxide, we’ll tell you plainly and shut the unit down until it’s fixed right. The full breakdown is on Furnace Repair in Atlanta.

AfterPricing for HVAC Company in Atlanta, GA
These are the price ranges Atlanta homeowners can expect for the work we do most often. Every range reflects local parts costs, labor rates, and the reality of Atlanta’s housing stock.
| Service | Typical Range in Atlanta |
|---|---|
| AC Repair | $150 – $650 |
| Furnace Repair | $150 – $700 |
| AC Installation | $3,500 – $7,500 |
| Tune-Up | $80 – $200 |
What pushes a repair toward the top of the range in Atlanta is usually one of three things: the unit is an older R-22 system with refrigerant that’s increasingly expensive per pound, the failure is in a hard-to-access crawl space or attic, or the part itself is a major component like a compressor or blower motor rather than a capacitor or contactor. Whatever the number, you’ll see it in writing before we start. That’s the Relay Standard: no door-step price changes, no “while we’re here” add-ons.
