AC Repair in Jonesboro, GA

Jonesboro is about twenty minutes west of home base — out of Henry County and into Clayton. Different county, same truck, same number.

AC repair over in Clayton County

Jonesboro is the Clayton County seat and it is settled — the houses have been there a while and so have the systems. For air conditioning that history matters more than the age on the data plate. A unit that has been repaired three times by three different people tells you something a fresh one does not, and it changes what is worth doing next.

We will tell you which side of that line you are on. Sometimes the honest answer is a part and another five summers out of it. Sometimes it is that you are feeding money into something that is finished and the kindest thing anyone can do is say so. You get the real one either way — that is the whole reason people keep calling.

The other thing that comes with an older system is R-22. Anything built before the changeover runs a refrigerant that has not been produced in years, and what is left of it costs whatever scarcity costs. That does not make your system unfixable. It does mean a leak on an R-22 unit is a genuinely different financial conversation from the identical leak on a modern one — and you deserve to have that conversation before the work starts, not when the invoice arrives.

Worth a call if any of this sounds familiar

  • The vents are blowing, but the air isn’t cold
  • The outdoor unit hums and the fan won’t turn
  • Ice on the copper line where it meets the air handler
  • The breaker trips every time the compressor kicks on
  • Water standing around the indoor unit
  • It runs all afternoon and never reaches the thermostat setting

McGrath Mechanical is my go to choice for HVAC repairs and installation. As a property manager of properties all over the Atlanta area, I need a reliable HVAC source that will show up, diagnose the problem correctly, tell me the truth and make the repair at a reasonable cost. McGrath does exactly that! New system installations are efficient and affordable as well. I highly recommend James at McGrath Mechanical!

If he says he will be there then he will. James is fast, reliable, and gets the job done. I thought I needed a new unit but that wasn’t the problem. After about 30 minutes he had us up and running again. Any questions I had he was able to give me an answer. Highly recommend
