"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.

FAQs for furnace / forced air heating system install or replace projects in Pooler, GA

Converting from an oil furnace to an electric furnace isn't a simple swap—the oil system needs to be completely removed before installing the electric furnace. You'll need a full electric system installation, but you might be able to reuse existing ductwork if it's up to current safety standards. You’ll need to budget for a new electric furnace installation, which costs between $1,800 and $6,200, including professional removal, proper disposal, and safe installation of the new system.

Electric furnaces are 100% efficient at converting electricity into heat. However, some of that heat can be lost as it travels through your home's ductwork or escapes through poorly insulated areas. That's why regular duct maintenance and proper home insulation are important to maximize your furnace's efficiency and reduce heat loss, ensuring consistent warmth and lower energy costs.

With proper maintenance, an electric furnace can last anywhere from 20 to 30 years, outlasting the average gas furnace's lifespan of 15 to 20 years. To keep your electric furnace running efficiently, schedule regular cleanings, tighten connections, and have inspections done before winter arrives. With routine maintenance, you’ll ensure consistent, safe heating for years to come.

The size of the electric furnace you need depends on factors like your home's square footage, climate, and insulation quality. As a general guideline, those who live in warmer climates should multiply their square footage by 30 to 35 BTUs, while those in cooler areas should multiply it by 50 to 60 BTUs.

Consulting with an HVAC professional can help you determine the exact size that's right for your home.

An electric furnace works by converting electricity into heat using high-resistance heating elements. A blower then pushes the warm air through your home's ductwork, distributing heat evenly throughout your space. Since there's no combustion involved, electric furnaces eliminate the risks associated with gas furnaces and provide consistent, reliable heating when properly installed.

An electric furnace uses between 40 and 80 kilowatts per day to heat your home. The exact amount it uses depends on factors like your home's size, insulation, and overall energy requirements. Larger homes or those with poor insulation use more energy than smaller, well-insulated spaces. A professional furnace assessment can help confirm the ideal unit size for your needs.
