Plumbing, Electrical, Heating & Air Conditioning in Redan, GA
Redan is a settled, comfortable part of south DeKalb County, stretching along Redan Road between Stone Mountain and Lithonia. Many families here have lived in the same brick ranch or split-level for decades. Most of these homes went up between the 1970s and 1990s, and by now their water heaters, panels, and AC units have usually been repaired more than once. Keep Smiling Plumbing, Electric, Heating and Cooling has worked on Georgia homes since 1985, and one team takes care of plumbing, electrical, heating, and air conditioning for Redan homeowners. Your water heater may have finally quit, or your AC may not make it through another August. Either way, a licensed technician will explain your options and give you a written price before any work begins.

View OptionsThe Difference a Professional Plumber Makes
- Fixes that last: We track down the real cause of a clog or leak, so the same problem doesn’t keep bringing you back to the phone.
- Hot water you can rely on: A new, properly sized water heater ends cold showers and the worry of a tank giving out without warning.
- Lower water bills: Repairing drips, running toilets, and hidden leaks stops paying for water that goes straight down the drain.
- A healthier house: Stopping leaks early keeps mold, mildew, and rotting subfloors from taking hold.
- Peace of mind on paper: Every repair is backed by a warranty you’ll receive in writing.
Plumbing Problems Common in Redan
Because so much of Redan was built over a 20-year stretch, many homes are now facing aging plumbing all at once. Polybutylene supply pipe was widely installed in parts of that era, and over time it can turn brittle and fail from the inside without obvious warning signs. Original shutoff valves, faucet cartridges, and toilet parts wear out after decades of use, leading to the kind of constant drips that quietly push up a water bill. Water heaters are one of our most common Redan calls, since many homes are on their second or third unit and some have gone well past the recommended replacement age. Sewer laterals from the 1970s and 1980s can crack or pull apart as the red clay beneath them shifts. Large shade trees in established yards send roots into those weakened lines. A hard winter freeze can still split pipes in garages, crawl spaces, and exterior walls.

Call (770)-273-9090How Upgrading Your Electrical System Helps
Signs a Redan Home Needs an Electrician
- A breaker trips whenever the AC and the clothes dryer run together
- Lights throughout the house dim or flicker at random
- Outlets feel warm, look discolored, or won’t hold a plug firmly anymore
- Your panel is original to the house and has never been updated
- You notice a hot plastic or burning smell near an outlet or switch
- The kitchen, bathrooms, or garage have no GFCI outlets
A house wired in the late 1970s or 1980s wasn’t planned for today’s appliances, larger AC units, and the number of devices most families plug in. Updating the system makes your home safer and better suited to how you live now.
- Lower fire risk: Replacing worn breakers and repairing damaged wiring removes some of the most common causes of electrical fires.
- Room to run everything: A larger panel lets you use the AC, oven, and laundry at once without losing power.
- Protection near water: GFCI outlets in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages shut off power quickly to prevent shocks.
- Help during bad weather: Surge protection and a Generac generator keep your home safer through power spikes and outages.
- A stronger resale position: Updated electrical work is a plus for buyers and home inspectors alike.
Electrical Issues We Find in Redan
A lot of Redan homes still rely on the electrical panel they were built with, often rated for 100 or 150 amps. That was enough when the house was new, but it can fall short now that many families have replaced their original AC with a bigger unit, added a second refrigerator or freezer, and filled every room with electronics. After 40 years or so, original breakers may not trip as reliably as they should, and the outlets they feed can loosen or wear out. Many homes from this period were built before GFCI protection was required in kitchens, bathrooms, and garages. DeKalb County sees frequent summer thunderstorms, and lightning surges can damage appliances and electronics in seconds. Outages from storms are common enough that more Redan families are asking about whole-home generators.
In south DeKalb, a dependable air conditioner isn’t optional for much of the year. Taking care of the system you have, and replacing it at the right time, keeps your family comfortable and your power bills under control.
- Relief on the hottest days: A well-maintained system keeps your home cool even during long stretches in the 90s.
- Less stickiness indoors: When your AC removes humidity properly, rooms feel comfortable at a higher setting.
- Smaller energy bills: Clean coils and filters help your system cool more while using less electricity.
- Fewer summer emergencies: Annual tune-ups catch worn capacitors and failing motors before they leave you without air.
- A real return on replacement: Swapping an older or R-22 unit for a modern system cuts energy use and adds new warranty protection.
Many Redan homes are running air conditioners that are 15 years old or more, and a good number still use R-22 refrigerant. Because R-22 has been phased out, topping off a leaking system gets more expensive every year. Ductwork in older homes often runs through hot attics or crawl spaces, and decades of heat cycles can loosen joints and wear down insulation, letting cool air escape before it ever reaches your rooms. The area’s long, humid summers keep systems running for hours at a time, which wears out capacitors, contactors, and fan motors faster than in milder climates. Spring pollen coats outdoor coils and chokes airflow. Condensate lines clog with algae and can overflow into the house if no one clears them.

Cost and Financing for Redan Homeowners
Every home is a little different. Your price depends on equipment size, gas or electric fuel, how easy the system is to reach, code requirements, and the warranty you choose. Your technician confirms the exact price in writing before the work starts, and the amount you approve is the amount you pay. Older homes sometimes need two or three systems replaced within a few years of each other, and financing can make that much easier to manage. We offer plans through Service Finance and Chowder for water heaters, HVAC systems, panel upgrades, and more. Our team will help you find a monthly payment that fits your budget.
