Expert AC Repair in Richmond Hill, GA


Your air conditioner breaks down on the hottest day of summer, leaving you sweltering in Richmond Hill’s intense heat that often exceeds 95 degrees. When your cooling system fails, you need fast, reliable AC repair to restore comfort to your home or business. At Galbreath Heating & Air, we provide emergency and scheduled repair services to get your system running again quickly and efficiently.

As your trusted local AC contractors serving the Low Country since 1980, we understand how crucial reliable cooling is in Richmond Hill’s coastal climate. Our third-generation family business offers residential and commercial AC services, ensuring every customer receives expert care.

Spotting Problems Early Prevents Emergency Breakdowns

Recognizing warning signs early can save you from uncomfortable emergencies and costly repairs. Many AC problems develop gradually, giving homeowners time to address issues before complete system failure occurs.

Watch for these critical warning signals that indicate your system needs attention:

  • Inconsistent cooling throughout different rooms in your home
  • Strange noises like grinding, squealing, or banging from your unit
  • Unusual odors, including burning smells or musty scents from vents
  • Higher energy bills without increased usage patterns
  • Frequent cycling on and off without reaching set temperatures
  • Weak airflow from vents, even when the system runs continuously

Why Regular AC Maintenance Matters

Our licensed AC technicians recommend scheduling annual maintenance to catch developing problems before they become emergencies. Regular tune-ups also help your system run more efficiently, extending its lifespan and reducing repair costs over time.

We Fix Every Type of AC Problem

No matter what type of cooling system malfunction you’re experiencing, our experienced technicians have the skills and tools to diagnose and repair the issue effectively.

Electrical Component Failures

Faulty capacitors represent one of the most common electrical problems in air conditioning systems. When capacitors fail, your AC may not start at all, or it might run but blow warm air while making unusual whirring sounds. Our team quickly identifies bad capacitors and replaces them to prevent damage to more expensive components.

Refrigerant System Issues

Refrigerant leaks cause serious cooling problems and can damage your entire system if left untreated. Low refrigerant levels prevent your AC from absorbing heat effectively, leading to ice formation on coils and warm air from vents. Our certified technicians locate leaks, repair damaged lines, and recharge your system properly.

Thermostat Malfunctions

A malfunctioning thermostat creates temperature control problems throughout your home. Inaccurate readings cause your system to cycle improperly, while complete failures leave you without climate control. With our AC repair services, we fix calibration issues, replace faulty sensors, and upgrade outdated thermostats to modern programmable models.

Airflow Restrictions

Blocked or dirty air filters restrict airflow and force your system to work harder while delivering less cooling. We inspect your entire air distribution system, including ductwork, vents, and blower components. Our AC troubleshooting process identifies these issues before they cause a complete system failure.

Mechanical Wear and Damage

Moving parts in your cooling system experience normal wear over time, but proper maintenance extends their service life significantly. We repair worn belts, lubricate motors, and replace damaged fan blades to prevent system performance issues before they cause major damage.

Amazing service and such friendly staff! Our air went out after hours and thankfully Brandon was here in less than an hour!
Outstanding experience.... from the initial interaction with the ladies answering the phones to my service technician (Mr.Aaron) ... everything was top notch. They answered all my questions and concerns. Mr. Aaron went through my system from top to bottom inside and out. He touched and tested everything (coils, capacitor, wires, and more).

Wish bill was cheaper but technician did a great job.
Smooth, Brandon called first, understood the job, and explained how he did it. Super polite and friendly, even to my kids. I would Absolutely recommend him to anyone.
James was great, explained everything in detail. Arrived early which was great, now I have the rest of my day!
Very responsive and professional!
We obtained 3 quotes for a full system and ductwork replacement. They were all around the same price but Galbreath stood out from the amount of detail and effort our sales rep Tyler put into the quote. I also liked that Tyler was going to be our project manager throughout the project, and ended up doing an excellent job from start to finish to ensure all my questions and concerns were addressed.

It was the right decision as the install team (Charlie, Tim and Brandon) did a phenomenal job over three days. We moved our outdoor unit to another location and moved our air handler to the attic, so it was a large project that was very well executed. Highly recommend Galbreath for your HVAC needs.
Good.
Had to replace 18yr old system that died on the hottest week in May. Tyler was awesome and fit us in on his way home so we could get the air flowing sooner rather than later. Techs came and spent a hot miserable day installing our new system. Very professional and respectful of our property, cleaned up after themselves. Highly recommend.
