Request Service

Your old air conditioner finally gave out during Richmond Hill’s scorching summer heat, leaving you searching for reliable home cooling solutions that won’t break the bank. When you need a new cooling system, proper AC installation makes the difference between years of reliable comfort and constant headaches. At Galbreath Heating & Air, we provide expert installation services that ensure your new system operates at peak efficiency from day one.

As your trusted licensed AC contractor serving the Low Country since 1980, we understand that choosing the right cooling system represents a significant investment in your family’s comfort. Our third-generation family business specializes in affordable AC installation, delivering lasting value through high-quality workmanship and premium equipment selection.

Modern AC Systems for Every Home

Today’s air conditioning technology offers remarkable improvements in efficiency, comfort, and convenience compared to older models. Selecting the right system for your specific needs requires understanding the unique benefits each type provides.

Central Air Conditioning Systems

Traditional central air systems remain the most popular choice for whole-home cooling in Richmond Hill. These systems distribute cooled air through existing ductwork, providing consistent temperatures throughout your home. Our professional AC services include installing high-efficiency models that can reduce energy costs significantly compared to older units.

Ductless Mini-Split Systems

Ductless systems offer flexible installation options for homes without existing ductwork or areas requiring targeted cooling. These systems feature individual indoor units connected to an outdoor compressor, allowing precise temperature control in specific zones. Key advantages include:

  • Energy-efficient operation with higher SEER ratings than traditional systems
  • Quiet operation with minimal noise levels inside your home
  • Advanced filtration systems that improve indoor air quality
  • Zoned cooling capabilities that eliminate hot and cold spots
  • Streamlined installation process without extensive ductwork modifications

Heat Pump Systems

Heat pumps provide heating and cooling functions in a single system, making them ideal for Richmond Hill’s mild winter climate. These versatile units transfer heat rather than generating it, offering exceptional efficiency year-round while reducing utility costs.

Safe, Reliable, and Affordable AC Installation

Professional installation ensures your new cooling system delivers optimal performance while protecting your investment through proper setup and configuration. Our experienced technicians handle every aspect of the installation process with precision and care.

Our Complete Installation Process

We begin each AC installation with a comprehensive assessment of your home’s cooling requirements. Our team evaluates factors like square footage, insulation quality, window placement, and existing infrastructure to determine the ideal system size and configuration. Proper sizing prevents common problems like short cycling, humidity issues, and excessive energy consumption.

Our installation process includes site preparation, electrical connections, ductwork modifications when necessary, and complete system testing. We seal all penetrations carefully and verify proper refrigerant levels, airflow, and thermostat operation before completing the job. Every installation receives thorough documentation and warranty registration.

Flexible Financing Options

We partner with Service Finance Company to offer flexible financing solutions that make affordable air conditioning installation accessible to every budget. Our financing options include competitive interest rates, extended repayment terms, and fast approval decisions. This allows you to invest in efficient home cooling solutions without straining your monthly budget or delaying necessary comfort improvements.

I scheduled a maintenance check up and Gil, my technician, found a broken part that without repair, would have led to us having no a/c, He also found a clogged drainage pipe , which he replaced. I am thankful that we have a maintenance contract and we avoided a more costly repair.

Since our first time using Galbreath; we have had repeated positive experiences. We were out of town, and a neighbor discovered icing in our system. Tyler came to our home, and assessed the need for a new HVAC system. He coordinated the appt. and install with my neighbor. Even though it was expensive and an unwelcome surprise, Tyler and Rebecca in the office worked together for a seamless installation. I felt comfortable with Galbreath company representatives in my home when I wasn’t there. We have had a few issues with the new system related to factory parts, but Galbreath staff ( Steven and Gil) have been available and pleasant in working to remedy the situations. Having moved to Richmond Hill from a northern state, I am so happy I chose this company for HVAC service.

Your Service Technician, Kevin, called ahead and arrived on time. He was pleasant, professional, explained in sufficient details each step of the process to inspect, clean, repair and make recommendations for additional work (as may have been identified). He is very easy to work with, good at answering questions and explaining things.

Great job Kevin!

However, I would like to point out to Larry and Steve that we are 1-year into full service with these new Lenox systems and I was quite surprised and disappointed with the internal condition (particularly in the unit servicing the main level) around from the plenum, across the evap, and blower / blower box area ... corrosion, fallen insulation, excessive dust/fugitive air-born construction debris, and most concerning was the tattle-tale remnants of excess moisture and mold!

The dust / air-borne debris is certainly related to last summer/fall (2022) when the house was still under construction and Gene Fabre's workers were installing / finishing walls, floors, bathroom tiles, etc.

It was summer time and still quite hot so naturally the HVAC systems were being used. Gene told me he advised your office that filters were needed to prevent dust and other air-borne debris from entering the system. I too called your office to inform of the situation / construction status and request filters.

It wasn't until 2 or 3 months later that after I told Gene again and he too observed the lack of filtration protection that someone finally came out to install the temp filters.

I'm afraid that was too little too late and have to wonder how it may have contributed to some of the problems identified by Kevin.

I agreed with all is the recommendations for additional system protection (e.g.,added UV light to control air-borne mold, virus and bacteria in both units) and a service contract instead of a 1-time inspection / cleaning.

I also agreed to have you come back to properly clean / repair the insulation in the main level service unit around the blower and blower box.

As you can imagine, as pleased as we are with the efficiency and cost effectiveness of these systems (your records will confirm we chose to upgrade from Gene Fabre's original contractor level (13 SEER?) systems to the 16SEER VS units representing a significant charge, we are concerned about their condition only 1-year and a few months into full service and the additional costs I seem to be bearing.

I sure would appreciate having a conversation with Larry or Steven sometime soon.

Thank you all for the thorough and professional service call and a special thanks for to Kevin for doing what appears to be a great job and with a pleasant professional attitude.

Thank you,

Art and Lynne Nonni

Enjoyed Tyler’s visit. Very friendly, knowledgeable. answered all of my questions, never felt rushed, spent plenty of time going over quotes and how he arrived at them.

Aaron was great and really helped me understand what the issue was as well as the steps needed to rectify everything. I appreciate the throughness of the service and I feel comfortable working with Galbreath in the future. It's hard finding reliable and honest companies these days and I wholeheartedly recommend this one.
Debra G.
It was about $380 just to suck some water out a pipe which was shutting off our AC that took 2 minutes. It has to be done about 1 to 2 times a year since they put our AC in. They were all very kind to get to us in the same day though. The man who came out was nice and knowledgeable. I think we will invest in a shop vac and save a ton of money and just call if something breaks that we don't know what the problem was. My brother knew how to suck the water out but all we had was a kids Tylenol syringe.
Adam I.
Gil did a great job. He was very prompt and professional. He showed up and was able to directly show me what was wrong and what my options were to remedy it.
Team R.
Aaron was on time and was excellent. He Serviced both a/c units although 1 unit had a power issue. I beleive he went above and beyond to identify the issue and keep me informed all the way. Previous home owner had wired a water pump into the a/c power supply which created the problem. Aaron isolated the wiring and made it safe and I will get an electrician to connect that pump correctly. Both a/c systems are now working great and I received an education as well. Fantastic job.

Galbreath performed comprehensive HVAC system maintenance. The technician, Aaron Pitts, was professional, knowledgeable, and very personable. He explained the process, provided exceptional service, and provided recommendations for continued HVAC system health and performance.
Demy
I had routine preventive maintenance done on my HVAC system today, and I was very pleased with the service. The technician, James, was punctual and respectful of my home. He wore shoe covers and even asked permission before going in and out of my home on his own.

He explained the service and kept me informed throughout the process. He was friendly, courteous, and thorough—taking his time rather than rushing through the job. Anything he noticed about my HVAC, he pointed out and explained clearly. He even showed me how my system scored and what had been improved during the maintenance.

During the inspection, he discovered I needed a new capacitor. He explained the problems with my current capacitor and why replacing it was important, especially since it was surprising that my system was cooling at all. He provided the cost upfront (should I opt to replace it), replaced the capacitor, and made sure everything was working correctly before he left.

Afterward, James left my home just as he found it. He also gave me helpful recommendations for other ways to take care of my system.

Overall, I’m very impressed with the professionalism and quality of service. I would definitely recommend this technician and company for HVAC maintenance.
Antthony Mark H.
I'm very pleased with the detailed work of Galbreath. I was referred to them by another company that did exceptional work on my home. I was so happy when Galbreath arrived with videos and lots of information and knowledge on installing an hvac system. I had met with other local companies but they all seemed to lack the knowledge on what my smaller home needed. Thank yoh Tyler for walking me through all the steps of installation of the hvac and the new duct work. I also what to thank them for adding temporary window AC so we could stay in the home in the evenings until the entire system was installed. I would recommend them in a heart beat !
Jeffrey J.
Great service, friendly tech gave me lots of information about the system the I didn't know. Highly recommend
