Pooler HVAC Company handles residential and commercial heating and cooling across Pooler and Chatham County. Whether you need AC repair, heating service, a heat pump replaced, or a full system installed, we scope the work on the call and get someone out to take care of it. We treat your home and its system the way we would our own, which means looking at what is actually wrong before recommending anything. We answer when you call. We explain the work. We leave it running right.

This area runs every kind of furnace, AC, and heat pump, and we work on all of it. We are not a seasonal-only operation or a single-brand shop. The full range of residential and commercial HVAC work is what we do: air conditioner repair and service, heating and furnace repair, heat pump repair and installation, full system installation and replacement, ductwork repair and sealing, thermostat and smart-control installation, and indoor air quality work.
When a system is blowing warm air, short cycling, or making a sound it did not make last month, the cause is almost never obvious from the outside. A refrigerant leak looks a lot like a failing compressor until you check the pressures. An airflow problem in one room can trace back to a damper, a collapsed duct run, or a coil that needs cleaning. We look at the whole system, not just the part that is visibly failing.
Reach out and we will talk through the symptoms.
An AC that is running but not cooling the house is one of the more frustrating calls of a Pooler summer. The system sounds like it is working, but the temperature inside keeps climbing. The visit covers a full system check: refrigerant pressure, condenser and evaporator coil condition, airflow through the air handler, and whether the unit is short cycling or locking out on a fault code.
Refrigerant leaks, dirty coils, and failed capacitors are common causes, and each one presents differently. A system that cools for an hour and then stops is not the same problem as one that runs constantly and never reaches setpoint. We look at what the system is actually doing before quoting any repair. The price is confirmed before work is scheduled, so you know what you are agreeing to before anything starts.
A furnace that stops working in the middle of the night or on a cold January morning is not something you want to wait on. The season a system struggles in says a lot about the fault. A furnace that ran fine through October and fails in December is often dealing with a heat exchanger issue, a failed igniter, or a pressure switch that trips under load. A unit that blows cold air may be getting a thermostat signal but failing to ignite, or it may be igniting and then shutting down on a safety limit.
The visit covers the ignition sequence, heat exchanger condition, airflow through the system, and the thermostat signal from call to close. If the repair is not worth doing on an older unit, we will tell you that on the visit and walk through replacement options. We're ready to get your heating and cooling running again.
Pooler's mild winters make heat pumps a practical choice as a primary system. They handle both heating and cooling from a single unit, and in a climate where hard freezes are infrequent, they run efficiently through most of the year. When a heat pump stops heating or cooling, the diagnosis is different from a straight AC or furnace call. Reversing valve faults, refrigerant charge issues, and defrost cycle problems all show up in heat pumps and require a different approach.
Mini-split and ductless systems are a good fit for additions, converted garages, sunrooms, and any space that does not have existing ductwork. A mini-split delivers conditioned air directly to the room without needing to run new ducts through walls or ceilings. We handle mini-split installation, repair, and replacement, and we size equipment for the space rather than for the last unit that was in it.
Doing HVAC work right matters, and we'll help you get it right, starting with the parts of the system that are easy to overlook until something goes wrong.
Ductwork. Leaking ducts are one of the most common reasons a system that tests fine at the unit still cannot keep a house comfortable. When conditioned air escapes into an attic or crawl space before it reaches the rooms it is supposed to serve, the system runs longer, works harder, and still underdelivers. Duct sealing and ductwork repair address the distribution side of the problem rather than just the equipment side.
Thermostats and smart controls. A thermostat that is reading the wrong temperature or failing to send the right signal can make a perfectly functional system behave as though it is broken. Smart thermostats and programmable controls add scheduling flexibility and can reduce runtime during hours when the house is empty. We install and configure thermostats across a range of systems, and we confirm the wiring and calibration before we leave.
Indoor air quality. Coastal Georgia's humidity and the amount of time most households spend with the windows closed make air filtration worth thinking about. We install whole-home air filtration systems, UV air purifiers, and air scrubbers that work with the existing HVAC system to reduce dust, allergens, and airborne particles. If indoor air quality is a concern, that conversation starts on the call.
Call and we'll handle the furnace, the AC, and the ductwork.
The sooner you call, the sooner your comfort is back, and in a Pooler summer, a non-functional air conditioner is not a minor inconvenience. Heat index values in Chatham County regularly push well past 100 degrees, and a house that cannot cool down becomes genuinely uncomfortable within hours.
Emergency HVAC calls are answered every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM. When you call, we scope the situation on the phone: what the system is doing, when it stopped, and what you have already checked. That conversation lets us confirm what the visit will cover and what it will cost before anyone is dispatched.
We handle emergency AC repair, emergency heating repair, and any situation where the system has stopped working entirely. We do not promise a specific arrival window, but we do confirm availability and scheduling on the call so you know what to expect.
Give us a call and we will take care of it.
Commercial HVAC work involves different equipment and different stakes than a residential call. A rooftop unit serving a retail space, a multi-zone system in an office building, or a large air handler in a warehouse all require a different approach to diagnosis, maintenance, and replacement than a home system does.
We handle commercial HVAC repair, service, installation, and maintenance for property managers, building owners, and commercial tenants across Pooler and the surrounding area. Scheduled maintenance keeps commercial systems running through peak demand without unplanned downtime. On installation and replacement work, you get a written scope on installation work before anything starts, so the project is defined before it is priced and priced before it begins.

If you're not sure your system can keep up, a tune-up before the season starts is the right time to find out. A system that has not been serviced since last year may be running on a low refrigerant charge, a dirty evaporator coil, or a blower wheel that is pulling less air than it should. None of those problems announce themselves until the system is running hard on the hottest day of the year.
A seasonal tune-up visit covers coil cleaning, refrigerant level check, blower inspection, thermostat calibration, and a filter check. For heat pumps, the visit also includes the defrost cycle and reversing valve operation. The goal is to catch the things that cause mid-season failures before they happen.
Spring AC tune-ups and fall heating tune-ups are both worth scheduling. Pricing for maintenance visits is discussed on the call.
HVAC costs vary depending on what the system needs. An AC repair that turns out to be a failed capacitor costs a fraction of what a full condenser replacement runs. A heat pump installation on a two-story home is a different project from a single-room mini-split. The age of the system, the scope of the work, and the parts involved all affect the final number.
What does not vary is when you find out the price. You get the rate on the phone, before anything is scheduled. That applies to repair calls, installation quotes, and replacement estimates alike. If the visit reveals something the call did not, we explain it before we proceed.
We tell you if a permit is needed. We size the system to the home. We explain the options.
We serve Pooler as our base and take calls across Chatham County and the communities around it. Calls about this area are answered here, and the work is carried out locally.

A thorough job starts with a real diagnostic rather than a parts swap based on the most common cause. In Pooler's climate, where AC systems run hard for most of the year, skipping the diagnostic step often means the same problem comes back within a season. We check the full system before quoting any repair: pressures, airflow, coil condition, and the controls. That takes more time upfront and produces a more accurate result.
When you call during our hours, 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM every day, you reach someone who knows the trade and can scope the job on the phone. That means asking the right questions about what the system is doing, giving you a price, and confirming what the visit covers. You are not leaving a message for a callback later in the week.
Because the symptom is not the cause. A system blowing warm air can point to a low refrigerant charge, a failed compressor, a dirty evaporator coil, or a reversing valve fault on a heat pump, and each of those is a different repair at a different cost. The diagnostic step exists to find the actual cause rather than replace the most likely part and hope it resolves the problem. We go through that process on every service call before recommending anything.
The system is tested through a full operating cycle before the visit closes. For a repair, that means confirming the system is reaching setpoint, the pressures are within range, and the fault that caused the call is resolved. For an installation, it means the equipment is running, the thermostat is calibrated, and the airflow is verified at the registers. Any questions about the system are answered before the visit ends.
If the system is not performing the way it should after a visit, call us at (912) 742-8959 and describe what it is doing.
We will go through the situation on the phone and determine whether a callback visit is needed and what it would cover. We do not consider a job finished until the system is working the way it is supposed to.
A system that appears to have a single failing component sometimes reveals a second issue once the first is corrected and the system runs. A refrigerant leak repair, for example, requires finding and fixing the leak, recovering and recharging the refrigerant, and then running the system to confirm the pressures hold. Rushing any of those steps produces a repair that fails again. We explain what the job involves on the call and update you if the scope changes during the visit.
We start with the diagnostic and quote only what the diagnostic supports. If the system needs a capacitor, we replace the capacitor. If the diagnostic reveals something else that is about to fail, we explain it and let you decide whether to address it now or monitor it. We do not quote a full system replacement on a repair call unless the repair genuinely does not make sense given the age and condition of the equipment.
We serve Pooler and take calls throughout Chatham County, including Savannah, Garden City, Port Wentworth, Bloomingdale, Rincon, Guyton, and Thunderbolt.
For addresses outside that core area, call (912) 742-8959 and we will confirm whether your location is covered. We handle both residential and commercial calls across the region.
If a job requires a return visit, whether because a part needs to be sourced or because a follow-up test is needed, we explain that on the first visit and confirm what the second visit will cover and cost. Nothing is left open-ended. The scope and the price for any follow-up are confirmed before we leave.
Pooler HVAC Company is available every day from 8:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
