NOAA storm reports for Houston County show 5 hail days and 27 days with damaging thunderstorm winds over the six years from 2020 to 2025. The largest hail reported was 1.75 inches across. Storms here are more likely to cause power surges than coil damage, so a surge protector on the outdoor unit is worth the small cost. Houston County also had 3 tornado days in that period.

Georgia Licensing and Efficiency Rules
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). A repair usually goes ahead without a permit, but the tech handling refrigerant must hold EPA 608 certification. Ask the company for its Georgia license or registration number before the visit.
Before You Hire
- Ask what the emergency fee is before the truck is sent.
- Keep space heaters away from curtains and bedding, and never heat the house with a gas oven.
- Maintenance plans often put members first in line for emergency calls.
