❄️ Winter & Heating Season Questions

How often should I have my furnace serviced?

We recommend a professional furnace tune-up once a year — ideally in early fall before the cold hits. Regular service from Dan Pearson Heating & Air keeps your system efficient, safe, and reliable all winter long.

Do you repair all types of heating systems?

Yes! We service gas furnaces, electric furnaces, and heat pumps from all major brands. Whether it’s uneven heat, strange noises, or a system that won’t start, our certified HVAC technicians can fix it fast.

What are signs my furnace needs repair?

If you notice weak airflow, higher energy bills, or your furnace constantly cycling on and off, it’s time to call for service. We provide same-day heating repair throughout Ellijay and nearby North Georgia areas.

🌬️ Spring & Summer Cooling Questions

How long does an AC tune-up take?

Most AC tune-ups take about 60–90 minutes. During your service, our technician inspects and cleans coils, checks refrigerant levels, and ensures your system is ready for North Georgia’s summer heat.

What’s the best temperature to set my thermostat in summer?

We recommend 78°F when you’re home and 82°F when you’re away. A Wi-Fi smart thermostat can help balance comfort and efficiency — we can install and program one for you.

🧊 System Care & Troubleshooting

Why is my HVAC system blowing cold air when the heat is on?

That could mean a faulty ignitor, thermostat issue, or clogged filter. Our local team can diagnose and repair the problem quickly — call Dan Pearson Heating & Air for expert service near you.

Why does my AC freeze up?

Frozen coils often mean low refrigerant or restricted airflow. We’ll inspect your system, clean coils, and restore proper cooling performance.

What size HVAC system do I need?

The correct size depends on your home’s square footage, insulation, and layout. We offer free in-home consultations to recommend the ideal system for comfort and efficiency.

💨 Air Quality & Efficiency

How can I improve my indoor air quality?

Change your filters regularly, clean ducts, and consider adding a whole-home air purifier or humidity control system. We install and maintain indoor air quality products for cleaner, healthier air.

Do you offer duct cleaning or sealing?

Yes — we provide duct inspections, cleaning, and sealing to improve airflow and reduce dust buildup throughout your home.

Are there rebates for upgrading to an energy-efficient system?

Yes! Many Georgia utility companies offer rebates for ENERGY STAR® equipment. We’ll help you find and apply available savings for your new HVAC system.

Should I cover my outdoor AC unit in winter?

Most modern units don’t need to be covered. Just clear away leaves and debris — and schedule your annual tune-up before the first freeze.
