"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.

"We have utilized Beaufort Air Conditioning & Heating since 2011, upon choosing them to install a new complete HVAC unit (attic & outside). Their professionalism, punctuality, and expertise has always been top notch, experiencing no issues throughout the past decade of business with them. Most recently, we experienced a loss of AC function and were met with prompt assistance. Burt’s professionalism was beyond reproach, quickly diagnosing the failed capacitor and fan motor, which he was able to change the capacitor on-site and submitted a parts warranty replacement order for the fan motor. Within two days Burt contacted me to inform that the new fan motor was “in his hands and will be installed ASAP” provided that I approve for him to enter the property in the case where I was unable to make it home. Burt stood by his word and by the time I arrived home that evening he was finishing up the installation. Would recommend Beaufort Air Conditioning & Heating to anyone and would highly suggest a request for Burt is made!"

"I feel very confident that I can trust this company to keep my heating/cooling system in good working order. I am not crazy about the way they set appts., as in "I will be there between 12 and 4." (like the cable company)"

"Hayner and his crew were very punctual, dependable and professional. Based on thier advice I came to the conclusion that I needed a better flooring material in my bathrooms and kitchen, that's when I decided to have them install tile flooring. They were more than happy to add this additional project to thier workload on such short notice. They finished the flooring in my entire house (1,400) square feet in only a few days."

Install Boiler questions, answered by experts

If you want to have hot water in your home and part of your plumbing system, you'll need a hot water heater. An alternative may be to heat water as you use it, such as by boiling what you need on the stove. But that's much less efficient and takes considerably longer than hooking up a water heater. Another option is to rely on appliances, such as a dishwasher or washing machine, that heat the water themselves.

The main difference between an outdoor wood furnace versus an outdoor wood boiler is what each appliance is heating. An outdoor wood furnace burns wood to create heat, which warms the air and moves it through the ducts in your home. An outdoor wood boiler uses the heat from burning wood to warm water, which goes through pipes to radiators in the home.

Warmed or cooled air can escape your home through drafty windows and doors. If you notice any gaps, be sure to caulk and seal them. You can also hire a local pro for an energy audit to get a list of energy-saving recommendations. 

Finally, check your insulation. It can settle in over time and become less effective. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that you can save an average of 15% on heating and cooling costs (or 11% of total energy costs) by sealing leaks and making sure attics, crawl spaces, and basements have a nice layer of insulation.

If you go to turn it counterclockwise and it won’t turn anymore, it’s open. Like most other valves, you should be able to turn a radiator valve counterclockwise (to the left) to open it and clockwise (right) to close it. To close a radiator valve, turn it clockwise until you meet some resistance and can’t turn anymore, but do so carefully to avoid breaking the valve.

No, boilers and water heaters are not interchangeable because they serve different primary functions. Boilers are used for central heating systems, providing hot water or steam to heat your home. In contrast, a water heater's purpose is to supply hot water for daily household use, such as for faucets and showers. A water heater alone cannot supply the warm water or steam needed for a central heating system.

While they are not interchangeable, it is common to have both a boiler and a water heater. In fact, a conventional boiler often works best when a water heater system is already in place. The two systems can be combined to provide both heating and hot water, either by pairing a boiler with an indirect water heater or by installing a premade combination boiler-water heater unit. For home heating, some homeowners may also opt for a furnace instead of a boiler.
