Why Meadowsweet Heating and Air Sandy Springs Is Roswell’s Preferred AC Installation Company
We’re part of the Cedarwell family of HVAC companies, founded in 2004, and our reputation in Roswell is built on one thing: leaving homes cleaner and more comfortable than we found them. Every technician is background-checked and follows our C.A.R.E. values code: Clean up like it’s their own home, Ask before moving anything, Respect the family’s time and quiet hours, and Explain the price before the work. Families with kids and pets notice the difference. No muddy boots across a playroom floor, no loud radio during nap time, and a photo of the clean-up sent before the crew pulls out of the driveway.
Roswell homeowners call us because we answer the phone. A live person picks up 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays.

That guarantee covers the equipment, the workmanship, and the way we leave your home. It’s why Roswell families call us back when the upstairs unit needs replacement, and why they recommend us to neighbors on Nextdoor.
Styles & brands we work with







Heat Pump Installation in Roswell
Heat Pump Installation in Roswell makes particular sense for homes built between 1980 and 2000, where a single system handles both summer cooling and the mild winter heating we get here. Roswell’s humid subtropical climate means your heat pump runs hard from May through September, and a properly sized unit is the difference between a dry, comfortable living room and that sticky feeling that drives families to crank the thermostat lower than necessary. A heat pump installation in Roswell typically falls within the $3,500 – $7,500 range, depending on the size of the home and the condition of existing ductwork.
Why Roswell’s humidity changes the math
Roswell’s summer humidity is the hidden variable in every heat pump install we do. An oversized unit cools the air quickly but shuts off before it removes enough moisture, leaving the house clammy. We run a Manual J load calculation on every Roswell job, measuring not just square footage but window orientation, attic insulation, and the shade from trees in neighborhoods like Crabapple. The result is a system that actually dehumidifies, not just one that blows cold air.
Existing ductwork matters more than the brand
Many Roswell homes from the 1980s have ductwork that was undersized for the original equipment. When we install a new, higher-efficiency heat pump, that restrictive ductwork can create high static pressure that shortens blower motor life. We check static pressure before we quote, so the written price you get covers the real scope of work, not a surprise change order later. In some attics we find flex duct that’s been crushed by boxes or chewed by squirrels, and we factor that into the plan.
Ductless Mini Split Installation in Roswell
Ductless Mini Split Installation in Roswell solves a problem that central systems can’t: homes where there’s no ductwork at all, or where adding ducts would mean tearing into ceilings and walls. Historic bungalows near Canton Street are the perfect example. A 1920s home with plaster walls and no attic access can’t accommodate ducted air, but a Daikin mini split tucks lines through a closet chase and delivers cool, dehumidified air without touching the roofline. Mini split installation in Roswell generally runs $3,500 – $7,500 depending on the number of indoor heads.
Precision for tight lots and close neighbors
Roswell’s built-up neighborhoods leave little room for error. Condenser placement matters: too close to a neighbor’s bedroom window and you’ll hear about it. We site outdoor units to respect Roswell’s noise ordinance and your relationships with the people next door. The quiet operation of a modern mini split is a selling point that only matters if the unit is aimed away from the house next door.
Humidity control without duct losses
Duct losses in an unconditioned attic can eat 20 to 30 percent of your cooling capacity. A mini split doesn’t have that problem. For additions, sunrooms, and above-garage bonus rooms in Roswell, a ductless system delivers exactly the cooling you paid for, room by room. And because each head has its own thermostat, you can keep a nursery cooler at night without freezing the rest of the house.
Trusted Brands We Service in Roswell
Our technicians service and install nine leading equipment brands, and for Roswell homes we stock parts for Rheem, York, Daikin, and Bryant systems. That local parts availability means faster turnarounds when a repair is the right call, and smoother installations when replacement is the better long-term choice. No waiting a week for a coil to ship from a warehouse in another state. Whether your home has a 1990s York heat pump or you’re considering a variable-speed Rheem system, we can quote it, order it, and install it with a written price before any work starts.

AfterCommon AC Installation Problems We See in Roswell Homes
- Rusted condenser coils from sprinkler overspray. In Horseshoe Bend, many original 1990s Carrier units sit close to irrigated foundation plantings, and years of lawn sprinklers hitting the coil has corroded the aluminum fins. By the time a unit fails, the coil is often too far gone for a repair-only fix, so full replacement becomes the honest recommendation.
- High static pressure from undersized 1980s ductwork. Roswell homes built in the 80s often have duct runs sized for 6 or 8 SEER systems, not modern 15+ SEER2 equipment. The restriction causes premature blower motor failure, and we correct it before your new AC goes in.
- Condenser placement that violates Roswell’s noise ordinance. Tight lot lines in subdivisions like Martin’s Landing mean a condenser placed without thinking through the setback can be flagged at permit inspection. We plan placement before we install, not after.
- Oversized original equipment from the builder era. Many 1990s and 2000s Roswell homes got systems sized by rule of thumb, not load calculation. The result: short cycling, high humidity, and early compressor failure. We fix the sizing error at installation, and the difference is immediate.

FAQs About AC Installation in Roswell
Yes, Roswell requires a mechanical permit for AC replacement, and the timeline depends on the scope: a straightforward swap typically takes one to two days, while a full system with ductwork modifications may run three to five days. We handle the permit paperwork as part of the installation, and our written price includes the permit fee, so there’s no hidden line item at the end. Call (229) 490-2049 and we’ll walk you through exactly what your specific Roswell home requires.
Sprinkler overspray is the culprit. In Horseshoe Bend, many homes have irrigated foundation plantings positioned close to the outdoor unit, and years of water hitting the coil corrodes the aluminum fins until the unit loses efficiency and eventually fails. It’s a corrosion pattern we spot the moment we drive through the neighborhood, and it usually means full replacement is smarter than a coil-only repair. We’ll show you the damage and explain your options before you commit to anything.
Yes, when it’s sized and installed correctly. A ductless mini split with a proper load calculation dehumidifies as well as or better than a central system in most Roswell homes, especially when the existing ductwork is leaky or undersized. The key is not oversizing the unit: a unit that’s too large will short-cycle and leave humidity in the air, just like an oversized central system. We run the same Manual J calculation for mini splits that we do for full systems.
For a 1980s Roswell home with original ductwork, we typically recommend a 15 to 17 SEER2 system, balancing efficiency gains against the reality of aging ducts. Anything higher often means you’re paying for efficiency the existing ducts can’t deliver without modification. If you’re open to sealing or replacing ductwork, a higher SEER2 rating starts to pay off, and we’ll show you the math before you choose. Call (229) 490-2049 for a written quote on your specific home.
Roswell’s zoning code sets minimum setbacks for mechanical equipment, and the noise ordinance limits how much sound a condenser can produce at the property line. We site condensers to meet both requirements, and we account for neighbor proximity, window locations, and the direction the fan blows. Getting this wrong means a costly relocation after inspection, so we plan it before we install. If your current unit is too close to a neighbor’s bedroom, we can look at that too.
