Fulton County had 11 hail days and 52 days with damaging thunderstorm winds from 2020 through 2025, according to NOAA storm records. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Fulton County also had 3 tornado days in that period.

Georgia Permits, Efficiency Rules and Rebates
Georgia is in the DOE's Southeast region, where new split central air conditioners need at least 14.3 SEER2 (13.8 SEER2 for systems of 45,000 BTU/h and up). Equipment replacements in Johns Creek generally need a mechanical permit, and a reputable contractor will pull it for you. Ask for their Georgia license or registration number and a certificate of insurance with the quote. The federal 25C tax credit ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so incentives now come mostly from utilities and state programs. Check your electric and gas utility's rebate page before you pick equipment.
Before You Hire
- Most mini-splits qualify for utility heat pump rebates, so check before you buy.
- If winter nights regularly drop below 10°F, pay for a cold-climate model.
