"I am writing this review as they are installing a new HVAC system in our home.  Our home burned down and the air handler needed to be replaced.  Galbreath is my contractor's preferred HVAC system subcontractor.
We had a new HVAC system installed by a different provider 6 months before the fire.  We received Galbreath's estimate, and they recommended that we resize the system because we are upgrading the house insulation to spray foam and the house needed less capacity.  Since I was surprised that I was going to have to come out of pocket for HVAC, I asked the company that previously installed a new HVAC system.  To make a long story short, the previous company behaved badly.  In contrast, Galbreath worked with us very patiently to get Georgia Power rebates and other benefits to reduce the cost.  
We've run into some minor problems during the installation which were not Galbreath's fault.  First, I misunderstood the kind of ducting they were using.  I learned after doing my homework that their choice of ducting was absolutely right and I was wrong.  Second, due to the new configuration of our home (we took the ceilings up to the roofline which drastically reduced the space for the HVAC air handler and blocked most of the wall to the great room of the house with an alcove to display art work on one side of the wall and a loft in a bedroom on the other side), it has been very difficult to install ducts into the great room. Galbreath has been very patient in working through the issue and my contractor has determined an perfect way to get the job done.
I'm extremely impressed with the owner of this company.  He has been responsive, flexible, and really worked with us.  If that is any indication of the quality of their work, we are going to have a great system.  I greatly appreciate the fact that he did not bad mouth anyone, which seems rather common in this industry and in this market, and  instead sold us on his expertise, responsiveness, pricing, and expertise.  
I will update if the system performs poorly, but I highly doubt that will the case.  Mr. Galbreath, thank you.

"Jim Farrell and North Alabama Technical Services rebuilt my computer and provided me with everything I expected and so much more.  He provided the various options in equipment, including specs and pricing, answered all our questions and helped us make the best decision for our purchases.  The computer was completed in a few days, far less than expected, the installation included clear directions for use.  The package also included a good warranty for the equipment.  I was extremely pleased with his service and would not hesitate to recommend his company to anyone with computer service needs."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

You can replace baseboard heaters with many other types of HVAC systems, including forced-air furnaces, hydronic heating, and heat pumps. Each one has its advantages and disadvantages, so the best choice for you will depend on your budget, preferences, and the design of your house. If you aren’t sure which option is right for you, ask an HVAC pro for guidance.

If you have a closed-system boiler that requires an expansion tank, you cannot safely operate it without one, as this risks extensive damage or even explosions. You must find a way to make room for the installation. Options include repositioning the boiler, rerouting the boiler piping to a more open area, or performing minor remodeling to create the necessary space. If you are unsure whether your boiler needs an expansion tank or how to best accommodate one, it's recommended to have a local heating service professional assess the situation. They can confirm the requirement and suggest the most practical solution.

The average lifespan of a boiler is typically between 15 and 20 years, though some may last for as little as 10 years while others can reach 30. A boiler's longevity is influenced by several factors, including the quality of the unit, proper installation, and consistent professional maintenance.

The material also plays a significant role. Older boilers made from durable cast iron can last for over 20 years, with some functioning for up to 50 years. However, it's important to consider their lower efficiency, which can lead to higher utility bills. Modern boilers, often made from steel alloys, are designed to withstand high pressure and temperatures and have an average lifespan of about 20 years.

To maximize your boiler's lifespan, ensure it is installed correctly, have it professionally maintained each year, and address any necessary repairs immediately.

If you're often struggling with radiator issues like chilly spots, leaks, or annoying noises, those are common indications that your radiator may need to be replaced. Corrosion, uneven heating, and persistent hissing sounds are common issues as well. When repairs become a regular chore and your home’s energy bills start to rise, a new radiator will bring the comfort and savings you need.

The cost-efficiency of baseboard heaters depends on the type and how you use them. Generally, standard electric baseboard heaters can be expensive to run because they use electric resistance heating, which is less energy-efficient than systems like forced-air or heat pumps. However, hydronic and gas versions are typically much cheaper to operate. Hydronic models are more energy-efficient because they heat a liquid that retains warmth longer, preventing the thermostat from turning on and off as often. The overall running cost is also influenced by local electricity rates, your home's insulation, and your usage habits. To increase efficiency, you can use baseboard heaters for zoning, meaning you only heat the specific rooms you are using.
