Candler-McAfee sits just south of Decatur, close enough that our trucks are in the area often. Many families here have lived in their homes for decades, and they want a furnace that works without being talked into repairs they don’t need. That’s exactly how we operate.
Ace & A HVAC, Heating & AC Repair provides honest furnace repair in Candler-McAfee, GA, with a written estimate before any work starts. We’ve been a family-owned business since 1975, and we’ve earned our A+ BBB rating one service call at a time.
A furnace that worked fine in November can start slipping by January. These changes are worth paying attention to.
That last sign can point to a carbon monoxide concern, so get everyone outside and call 911 right away if you suspect it.
A lot of homes around Candler Road and Glenwood Road date back to the 1950s and 1960s. Over the years, many furnaces in these homes have been patched, replaced, or connected to ductwork that was never resized. The result is often a system that is a poor fit for the house, running too hard or cycling too often.
We also see cracked flue pipes, rusted burner assemblies, and blower wheels caked with dust. Georgia’s humid summers leave moisture in basements and crawlspaces, and that moisture sits on the furnace all through the off season. By the time cold weather arrives, corrosion has had months to do its work.
Every repair we make starts with safety. Before fixing anything else, we check for gas leaks, test for carbon monoxide, and inspect the heat exchanger for cracks. Once we know the system is safe to run, we diagnose the problem and walk you through the fix.
Our technicians complete factory training every year, so they know their way around every major brand. If your furnace fails on a cold night, our 24/7 emergency service is just a phone call away. Financing is also available if a larger repair isn’t in this month’s budget.
James called us on a frosty Saturday morning when his furnace started making a loud bang every time it turned on. He’d lived in his Candler-McAfee home for over twenty years and was worried the noise meant something dangerous.
Our technician found the burners were dirty and slightly out of alignment, which let gas build up for a moment before lighting. He cleaned and adjusted the burners, checked the gas pressure, and tested for carbon monoxide to be safe. The furnace lit quietly from then on, and James got through the cold weekend without another scare.

Dirty or misaligned burners can delay ignition and cause a small boom. Have it checked soon, since delayed ignition stresses the heat exchanger.
