Heating Installation in Jonesboro, GA
Older Jonesboro houses do not always take a modern heat pump straight out of the box. We are about twenty minutes east, over in Henry County.
Replacing heat in established Clayton County housing
Established Jonesboro housing was built around whatever was normal at the time — smaller returns, longer duct runs, sometimes a furnace footprint a modern air handler does not drop into. Pretending otherwise is how somebody ends up with an expensive new system that performs exactly as badly as the old one, with no obvious reason why.
We would rather find that on the quote than on install day. That means looking at the ducts and the returns and not just the box outside, and telling you if the real answer is more work than a straight swap.
The electrical is the other early conversation. An older house may have a service and a disconnect sized for the equipment of its day. A modern heat pump does not always match what is already there. Find it during the quote, or a one-day install becomes a three-day one with an electrician in the middle of it.
When a new heating system is the honest call
- The heat pump compressor is gone and the unit is well past ten years old
- Emergency heat has been carrying the house and the bill shows it
- The furnace heat exchanger is cracked or the cabinet is rusting through
- It needs a major repair every winter
- One floor never gets warm, no matter what the thermostat says

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
