Heating and Cooling Help for East Cobb
East Cobb neighborhoods filled in mostly during the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s, so a lot of homes here are on their second or third system and still running the original ductwork. When the furnace cannot keep up on a cold morning, or the bonus room never warms up, we send a technician to your East Cobb home and tell you what it costs before we touch anything.
Not a city, but everyone knows where it is
East Cobb is not its own city. It is the unincorporated part of Cobb County east of Marietta, known for its swim-and-tennis neighborhoods and its well-known high schools, Walton, Pope, Lassiter, and Wheeler among them. Most homes here have Marietta mailing addresses in 30062, 30066, 30067, and 30068, and some carry Roswell addresses. We work all through East Cobb: the neighborhoods along Johnson Ferry Road and Lower Roswell Road, the homes off Sandy Plains Road and Shallowford Road, and the shopping areas around the Avenue East Cobb and Merchant's Walk.
East Cobb sits just south of our Woodstock office, so we are only a short drive away.
Two-story traditionals with basements and bonus rooms
Much of East Cobb was built as family neighborhoods between the 1970s and 1990s, with two-story traditional homes, finished basements, and bonus rooms over the garage. Many have been renovated inside over the years, but the ductwork in the attic and crawlspace is often original.
Bonus rooms over the garage are one of the most common comfort complaints we hear. They sit at the end of a long duct run, with outside air on three sides, so they are usually the hottest room in summer and the coldest in winter. Duct changes or a small ductless unit can usually fix it without replacing the main system.
What we handle in East Cobb
Systems built to survive the East Cobb weather
East Cobb's tree-lined lots keep homes shaded in summer, but falling leaves and spring pollen pile up on outdoor units and clog filters quickly. In winter, December through February is when heat pumps and furnaces work hardest, and systems serving finished basements and bonus rooms are often stretched beyond what they were sized for. A fall tune-up is the best time to catch a weak part before the first hard freeze.
