"I hired Triad Mechanical to replace two heating and air conditioning systems. In general, I am happy with the work that was performed. However, there are two issues that would make me think twice before hiring them again. First, the work took longer to perform than I was anticipating. This was an issue for me because the air-conditioning was out on my upper level, and I have three young children at home. Second, the technicians did not do a great job of cleaning up after themselves. Among other things, I found screws and cigarette butts in the driveway that I had to clean up. This does not detract from the quality of the work, but it does make me question the professionalism of this company."

"The ASSA MECHANICAL SERVICES LLC Team showed up promptly at the previously agreed, confirmed day and time. They immediately got to work with removing the old window mounted air conditioner unit which needed to be replaced and installed the new air conditioner. The whole process only took about one hour. A very professional and communicative team. The new air conditioner is working great. We’ll be requesting these guys again for any annual maintenance required for the window a.c. unit. Thank you ASSA MECHANICAL SERVICES LLC. Arthur"

"Mayel and The Comfort Gaurdians did an excellent job installing two split system units and replacing our home main HVAC system. Very pleased with their work and how easy it was to work with them. I’m a HVAC engineer so i’m sure i’m hard to please as a client but The Comfort Gaurdians were excellent and at a fair price!! Give them a call!"

FAQs for air conditioning projects in Athens, GA

A standard blower door test takes between 30 minutes and one hour to complete. The process involves setting up specialized equipment in your doorway, running the fan to create pressure differences, and taking measurements throughout your home. Additional services like thermal imaging or detailed leak detection will extend this timeframe. The technician will also spend time explaining the results and making recommendations based on their findings.

Preparation involves turning off all combustion appliances, such as gas furnaces and water heaters, for safety. Secure all exterior doors and windows, but leave interior doors open to allow airflow throughout the house. Close fireplace dampers and cover any ashes to prevent them from being drawn into living spaces. Clear access to potential inspection areas like attics and crawlspaces, and inform everyone in the household about the test to prevent accidental door openings during the process.

Older homes often benefit most from blower door testing because they have more air leakage points than newer construction. The test can pinpoint specific areas where relatively inexpensive improvements will yield significant energy savings. 

Many homeowners of vintage properties report noticeable reductions in drafts and more consistent indoor temperatures after addressing issues identified during testing. The potential utility savings often recover the testing cost within a reasonable timeframe.

New construction must meet increasingly stringent energy codes that specify maximum allowable air leakage rates. Meeting these standards requires careful attention to air sealing details during construction. 

Success depends largely on properly installing air barriers, thoroughly sealing around penetrations, and quality control throughout the building process. While achieving code compliance is challenging, builders who implement systematic air sealing protocols succeed in meeting required standards.

It's best to schedule a follow-up test after completing all recommended air sealing and insulation work. This allows you to verify the effectiveness of your improvements as a complete package. Allow sufficient time for all sealing materials to cure properly—often a few weeks after completion. The verification test provides documentation of your home's improved performance and confirms you've addressed the issues identified in the initial assessment.
