Fast, Local AC Repair & Installation
When your AC quits in a Marietta summer, you don’t have days to wait for our AC repair installation services. The average high in July here sits around 89 degrees, and indoor temperatures climb fast once the system stops moving air. We know this because we work in these homes every day. That’s why we run same-day service calls across our entire coverage area whenever possible, and we answer the phone around the clock.
Here’s how it works when you call us: a live person picks up, asks what’s going on with your system, and schedules a technician to come out. Before that technician arrives, you get their name and photo sent to you, and when they get to your door, they show you a photo ID badge. This is part of the Threshold Verified standard we follow at every visit. If someone shows up who you were not told to expect, that visit is on us and we make it right.
We don’t make you guess about cost, either. Every job starts with a written price before any work begins. You’ll see the full breakdown in writing, agree to it, and only then does work start. No surprises when the bill comes. That’s the way it should work, and it’s the way we’ve done it since home became part of the Threshold Group family of home-service companies back in 2003.
What AC Repair Costs in Marietta
Here are realistic price ranges for common AC repairs in the Marietta area. These are what we see on a regular basis, parts and labor included:
- Capacitor replacement: $150 to $275. This small part starts the compressor and fan motor, and it fails often in Georgia heat.
- Contactor replacement: $120 to $240. The electrical switch that tells the outdoor unit to turn on.
- Condensate drain clearing: $95 to $175. When the drain line clogs, water backs up and can shut the system down or damage ceilings.
- Refrigerant leak repair and recharge: $350 to $900 depending on leak location and how much refrigerant is needed. A refrigerant recharge means refilling the fluid that moves heat out of your home.
- Blower motor replacement: $450 to $900 depending on the system.
- Thermostat replacement: $150 to $350 for a standard digital or smart thermostat installed.
- Condenser fan motor replacement: $300 to $550.
For full new system installation, a complete AC Replacement in Marietta typically runs $5,500 to $11,500 depending on home size, efficiency rating, and ductwork condition. Every repair we do includes a written guarantee, and if a repair fails within the guarantee period, we return at no charge under our 365-Day Done Right Promise. No argument, no additional cost.
If you’re weighing whether to repair or replace an older system, call us for a straight answer. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair will hold or if you’re throwing money at a unit that’s near the end of its life. The estimate is free either way.

How to Check Your AC Before Calling
Sometimes a no-cool call turns out to be something simple, like a Capacitor Replacement. Before you call us, here’s a quick checklist. It won’t fix a real failure, but it can save you a trip charge if the issue is something basic:
- Check the thermostat. Make sure it’s set to “cool” and the temperature is set below the current room temperature. Check that the batteries aren’t dead if it’s battery-powered. We’ve been to homes where the only problem was a thermostat set to “heat” by accident.
- Check the breaker. Go to your electrical panel and look for a tripped breaker labeled AC, air handler, or condenser. Flip it fully off, then back on, one time only.
- Check the filter. A clogged filter restricts airflow and can cause the evaporator coil to freeze, which shuts down cooling. If your filter looks like a carpet, that may be your culprit. Replace it and run the fan only for a few hours to thaw.
- Check the outdoor unit. Make sure the area around your condenser is clear of leaves, grass clippings, and debris. A blocked unit can overheat and trip a safety switch.
- Check the emergency shutoff switch. Most indoor air handlers have a switch on or near the unit that looks like a light switch. Make sure it’s in the “on” position.
If all of that checks out and your house is still hot, call (478) 662-5175. We’ll send a technician who can diagnose what’s actually wrong, and you’ll get a written price before any work begins.
Is It Cheaper to Repair or Replace?
This is the question we hear most often during a Marietta summer, and the honest answer is that it depends. A good rule of thumb: multiply the age of your system by the cost of the repair. If that number is over $5,000, replacement usually makes more sense. Here’s a quick breakdown:
- Under 8 years old with a minor failure: Repair almost always. A $200 capacitor is not a reason to spend $7,000 on a new system.
- 10 to 15 years old with a compressor failure: This is the tipping point. A compressor replacement can run $2,000 to $3,500 on a system that may only have a few seasons left. In many cases, putting that money toward a new system is the smarter play.
- 15+ years old and leaking refrigerant: Replace. Older systems often use R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer produced in the U.S. and has gotten very expensive. Recharging an R-22 system can cost more than the unit is worth.
We’ll give you a straight answer on your specific system, not a sales pitch. If repair keeps your home cool for another three years, that’s what we’ll recommend. The decision stays in your hands, backed by a written price either way.
Why Homeowners in Marietta Call Us
Most HVAC companies can fix an air conditioner. What’s harder to find is a company that treats the person answering the door like a real human being with real concerns about who’s coming into their home. That’s the gap we built Brandt HVAC to fill.
The name Brandt comes from an old word for a firebrand, a fitting name for the work of keeping a home warm. But the standard behind the name, the Threshold Verified standard, is what sets us apart. Every technician who comes to your door has been background-checked and identity-verified. You get their name and photo before they arrive. They show you a photo ID badge at the door. If anyone shows up who you weren’t told to expect, that visit is on us and we make it right.
We built this approach because we know how it feels to open your door to a stranger. If you’re home alone, if you’ve got young kids, if you’re an older homeowner who’s had a bad experience before, you should not have to choose between a working air conditioner and feeling safe in your own home. You deserve both, and that’s what we deliver.
Our phones are answered by a live person 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Nights, weekends, holidays. You will never leave a voicemail and wait for a callback when your house is 85 degrees at 11 p.m. You’ll talk to a person who can help from the first moment you reach out.
