Complete Heating & AC Services for Savannah’s Unique Climate
Living in Savannah means dealing with hot, humid summers that stretch from May through September, and mild winters that can still bring surprising cold snaps. Your heating and cooling systems work overtime to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures throughout these seasonal extremes. At Gordons Heating and Air LLC, we understand the specific challenges that coastal Georgia’s climate presents to HVAC systems, from the corrosive effects of salt air to the strain of maintaining optimal humidity levels during our sweltering summer months.
Since our founding in 2001, we’ve developed comprehensive heating and AC services tailored specifically to meet the needs of Savannah homes and businesses. Our technicians have encountered virtually every HVAC challenge that this region can present, from aging historic district homes with unique retrofitting requirements to modern constructions requiring the latest in energy-efficient technology. We service all makes and models of residential and light commercial HVAC systems, offering free estimates and after-hour emergency service to ensure you’re never left without climate control when you need it most.
Comprehensive Air Conditioning Services
Air conditioning in Savannah isn’t just about comfort; it’s about health and property preservation. The average Savannah home runs its air conditioning system approximately 3,000 hours annually, compared to the national average of 2,100 hours. This increased usage means your AC system requires more frequent maintenance and is more susceptible to wear-related failures. Our cooling services encompass everything from routine maintenance to complete system replacements, ensuring your home stays comfortable even when outdoor temperatures soar above 95 degrees with humidity levels exceeding 80 percent.
Regular AC maintenance involves much more than simply changing filters. Our technicians perform comprehensive multi-point inspections that include checking refrigerant levels, testing capacitor functionality, measuring temperature differentials, cleaning condensate drains, inspecting electrical connections, and evaluating overall system efficiency. We pay particular attention to evaporator and condenser coils, which can accumulate significant debris and biological growth in our humid environment, reducing system efficiency by up to 30 percent when left uncleaned.
As a Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer, we have access to advanced diagnostic equipment and genuine manufacturer parts that ensure repairs are completed correctly the first time. Bryant’s stringent dealer requirements mean our technicians receive ongoing factory training on the latest technologies, including variable-speed compressors, smart thermostats, and advanced air purification systems that are particularly beneficial in our pollen-heavy spring seasons.
Professional Heating System Solutions
While Savannah’s winters are relatively mild compared to northern climates, efficient heating remains essential for those chilly mornings when temperatures can drop into the 30s and 40s. Heat pump systems have become increasingly popular in our area because they provide both heating and cooling capabilities while operating more efficiently than traditional electric resistance heating. These systems can maintain comfortable indoor temperatures even when outdoor temperatures drop, though we often recommend dual-fuel systems that incorporate gas backup for those rare occasions when temperatures approach freezing.
Our heating services include installation, repair, and maintenance of various system types including heat pumps, gas furnaces, and ductless mini-split systems. Each heating solution offers distinct advantages depending on your home’s construction, existing ductwork, and specific comfort requirements. For instance, ductless systems work exceptionally well in room additions or historic homes where installing traditional ductwork would be impractical or destructive to architectural features.
Indoor Air Quality and System Optimization
Savannah’s high humidity levels and extended pollen seasons create unique indoor air quality challenges that standard HVAC filters alone cannot address. We offer comprehensive air quality solutions that work in conjunction with your heating and cooling systems:
- Whole-house dehumidification systems that maintain optimal 40-50% humidity levels year-round
- UV germicidal lights that neutralize mold spores, bacteria, and viruses within your ductwork
- Electronic air cleaners that capture particles as small as 0.01 microns
- Fresh air ventilation systems that bring in filtered outdoor air while exhausting stale indoor air
- Carbon monoxide detectors integrated with your HVAC controls for enhanced safety
These air quality improvements not only create healthier living environments but also protect your HVAC equipment from premature wear caused by excessive dust and biological contamination. Studies indicate that homes with comprehensive air quality systems experience 40% fewer HVAC service calls and extend equipment life by an average of three to five years.
Whether you need routine maintenance, emergency repairs, or complete system replacement, Gordons Heating and Air LLC provides the expertise and reliability that Savannah residents have trusted for over two decades. Our commitment to excellence extends beyond technical proficiency to include transparent communication, punctual service, and respect for your home and schedule throughout every service visit.
