Heating and Cooling Help for Dunwoody, GA
Many Dunwoody homes were built in the 1970s and 1980s, and by now most have had a system or two replaced. The ductwork usually has not. If your furnace runs nonstop and the bedrooms still feel cold, or the upstairs never catches up in summer, we send a technician to your Dunwoody home, find the real cause, and tell you what it costs before we touch anything.
Neighborhoods built around swim and tennis
Dunwoody became a city in 2008, but its neighborhoods have been a draw for families since the 1970s. It sits in DeKalb County just inside the northern edge of I-285, with ZIP codes 30338 and 30346, Dunwoody Village at its center, and Perimeter Center on its western edge. We work throughout the city: the wooded subdivisions off Mount Vernon Road and Tilly Mill Road, the homes around Brook Run Park, and the townhomes near Perimeter.
GA 400 and I-285 put Dunwoody within easy reach of our Woodstock office.
Split-levels, ranches, and two-story traditionals
Most of Dunwoody was built out between the late 1960s and the 1980s, so the city is full of split-levels, brick ranches, and two-story traditional homes on wooded lots. Many have finished basements and additions that came later.
Split-levels are known for uneven temperatures, with the upper bedrooms running hot in summer and the lower level staying cool. Original ductwork from that era was often undersized, and decades of settling can open leaks in the attic or crawlspace. Sealing and balancing the ducts often makes a bigger difference than a new system alone.
What we handle in Dunwoody
Systems built to survive the Dunwoody weather
Dunwoody's mature tree canopy helps shade homes in summer, but it also drops leaves and pollen that clog outdoor units and filters. Keeping the outdoor coil clear matters here more than most places. In winter, December through February is when furnaces and heat pumps work hardest, and older systems in drafty split-levels can run almost nonstop on the coldest nights. A fall tune-up and a fresh filter go a long way.
