Quality Thermostat Repair & Replacement in Richmond Hill, GA.


The modulation of AC units and heaters hinges on the thermostat. This tiny sensor monitors temperature levels in your space. From these readings, it adjusts your HVAC unit to meet your cooling or heating needs. It also determines how long your heating or cooling system will run to reach the desired temperature profile. 

However, a thermostat is not exempt from malfunctions. It can become defective and result in inaccurate readings. When this occurs, your AC or furnace will also malfunction and blow hot or cold. Fortunately, our certified pros at Galbreath Heating & Air can help. We offer thermostat repair and replacement in Richmond Hill, GA, ensuring your HVAC systems function optimally.

Types of Thermostats

Thermostats are tiny temperature-actuated sensors that operate automatically based on the programmed temperature profile. They modulate your heating and cooling systems, ensuring they attain the desired comfort level. 

The following is a breakdown of the main types of thermostats in Richmond Hill, GA:

Analog Thermostats

Analog thermostats are common in older HVAC systems. They operate manually and feature a bi-metal strip connected to a thermometer. As temperatures rise or drop, the metal strip expands and contracts accordingly and disconnects the HVAC unit when it attains the set temperature profile. 

Digital Thermostats

Digital thermostats are automatic computer-operated sensors. They come with programmable settings. You only need to set your preferred profile, and the thermostat will modulate the HVAC unit without your intervention. Digital thermostats can also let you switch temperature profiles remotely through an accompanying smartphone app. 

Thermostat Repair Services 

Thermostats are highly sensitive and delicate. They have a limited lifespan and can fail when least expected, causing your HVAC system to develop issues. Fortunately, you can count on us for quality thermostat repair services in Richmond Hill, GA, to fix these problems.

Signs of Needing Thermostat Repair

A thermostat might be a tiny component. However, if it fails, it can compromise your entire HVAC unit. A Galbreath Heating & Air technician can inspect your thermostat to determine if it needs repairs. Below are signs that you need thermostat repair in Richmond Hill, GA:

Overheating Unit

A faulty thermostat will compel your HVAC system to strain to attain the set temperatures. Your unit will eventually overheat, compromising the safety of other internal components.

Blowing Hot or Cold

Thermostats modulate your HVAC unit based on the set temperature profile. If your unit produces inconsistent hot or cold air, the thermostat warrants a thorough inspection to diagnose the problem.

Inaccurate Readings

If your thermostat cannot keep up with temperature readings, it might require repairs. A Galbreath Heating & Air technician can help fix the issue through our expert thermostat repair service.

Power Issues

A malfunctioning thermostat can cause power issues. Your HVAC system might not turn on or off. A continuously running HVAC unit can be a safety hazard due to a lack of control. It will also consume more power, which spikes your energy bills.

Unresponsive Controls

The pilot light might turn yellow or become unresponsive because of a defective thermostat. Our professional thermostat repair in Richmond Hill, GA, can help resolve this issue.

Thermostat Replacement

After countless repairs,  a replacement can be a practical option. Your HVAC system might benefit from a new and upgraded thermostat. A Galbreath Heating & Air technician can help you select the appropriate thermostat replacement. We only need to verify its compatibility with your unit before installing one.

Here are the signs you might require thermostat replacement:

  • Frequent Repairs. If your thermostat requires frequent repairs every other week, consider replacing it.
  • Compatibility Issues. After a system upgrade, your current thermostat might be incompatible with your HVAC system. The only practical solution is to replace it.
  • Technological Advances. An analog thermostat might not work efficiently with new models. An upgrade can help you harness technological benefits.
  • Unrepairable Damage. If your thermostat is unrepairable, the only viable option is to replace it.

Perks of Thermostat Replacement

Thermostat replacement offers numerous benefits. With a new thermostat, you will not have to look at replacing an entire HVAC. It even makes your unit more energy-efficient for greater comfort and long-term savings. This is because it eradicates the need for constant repairs. 

Connect with Galbreath Heating & Air

Thermostats are indisputably integral to the modulation of HVAC systems. But they are very fragile and easily subject to failure. While thermostats are not immune to failure, they are repairable and replaceable. For expert thermostat repair and replacement in Richmond Hill, GA, call Galbreath Heating & Air.

Danny was excellent at surveying my current duct system and some areas that needed attention! Fairly soon. He spent a good deal of time really investigating the source of why leaks are happening in the attic. So happy he is the man who came today, I believe this has been happening for awhile!

I had Danny S. come out to service my Hvac and he was a pleasure. He was kind, educated me on my system and cleaned up behind himself. He let me know what I would need in the future, and left me feeling confident to use Galbreath heating and air again. Thanks Danny!

I scheduled and estimate appoint for some damages that my home sustained from hurricane Helene. The inspector was awesome. He ensured i understood everything that needed to take place with compassion and understanding. I feel like i can make it through my recovery if all the repair companies are this thorough and good at their jobs.

Tyler was very thorough and informed us of all things that needed addressed! I would recommend Tyler to anyone who needs air conditioning service to call Galbreath . .Tyler also set us up to have our air conditioner repaired quickly ! Danny Shapiro came out the next day to address the problems with our air conditioner. Danny explained what was wrong and order the parts to make our air conditioner more efficient plus insulated the pipes and redid the vents and insulation! If you have any air conditioning issues ask for Danny Shapiro from Galbreath heating and Air.!!

Brandon was great! I had what seemed a simple issue but he ensured everything was checked and brought to my attention other things that may become an issue in the future that other technicians never stated to me before. The service from the first call, to squeezing me in quickly and getting my AC working again properly was 10/10.

I had an AC emergency tonight that was not only fixed but I was educated on what’s really going on with my ac unit and how it affects my entire home. I immediately signed up for the maintenance plan after learning how important it was. My technician tonight Kevin was very knowledgeable and polite. May I add he arrived earlier than expected? I’m comfortable again and I’m so glad I called Galbreath. I’m pretty sure they saved me from a huge headache down the road. Any local business with integrity in this area is hard to come by post 2020. I’m glad small businesses like this one are still around. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾 everything continues to go well through the night for me but you absolutely cannot beat good customer service which a lot of businesses lack. I literally called around in a panic and got lucky when I took a chance reading the reviews. The reviews are not just hype, my experience was very pleasant! Again, so glad I called Galbreath!

Sherry was great over the phone. I was especially impressed she was willing to take a new client during this busy post-Helene activity! Aaron was amazing, professional, thorough, and took extra care to make sure I understood everything he was doing & why! I’m a very happy new customer, especially now that my air conditioning is working😀

Brandon took such good care of us today. He was extremely thorough, explained everything in an understandable way (which is hard to do with HVAC) and even helped me bring in some packages that on my front porch. The office staff is also extremely friendly and efficient.
