Peoria
Air Conditioning
Although lots of people are excited when the weather starts to warm up in the spring after a long, cold winter, that excitement begins to wane when things start getting hot and humid in the dog days of summer. Sipping cool drinks, staying in the shade, and taking a dip in the pool can help, but sometimes your body just needs a break in a comfortably air-conditioned home.
If you live in Peoria, you know how uncomfortable and even potentially dangerous extremely hot weather can get. Our professional team at Garber Heating & Air Conditioning wants to be sure you have a reliable, working air conditioning system throughout the summer to keep you and your family safe and comfortable.
Most air conditioning systems have an average life of at least eight to 10 years, with many well-maintained systems lasting longer than that. As a result, investing in an air conditioning unit can be a wise investment and being sure it’s well maintained throughout the years is an even wiser one.
Our heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) professionals are well versed in all major makes and models and can help you choose the best air conditioning system for your home. In addition, we are happy to come out to inspect and clean your air conditioner to ensure it is ready for the summer, and we provide repair services if you happen to have problems during the warm months here in Illinois.

Air Ducts
You probably do not think much about the air duct, or ductwork, system in your Peoria, home. After all, it sits quietly behind your walls out of sight and, therefore, out of mind, as you go about your daily business. However, your air duct system operates like your house’s circulatory system, working tirelessly day and night taking cooled or heated air to every room in your home and returning air back to your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system.
Unfortunately, many air duct systems are not working at peak efficiency in most homes, which means uneven temperature distribution, regular discomfort, and wasted energy. The professionals at Garber Heating & Air Conditioning want to help you fix that problem.
It is a good idea to have your air duct system inspected to identify where you might have leaks as well as where increased insulation may be needed. In addition, our trained professionals can help you balance the distribution of your heating and cooling with alternative solutions. These solutions work well if you have registers located in poorly located spots in a room or if the number of registers is unbalanced through your home.
By calling Garber Heating & Air Conditioning at 309-866-3025, you will be taking the first step to increasing the comfort of your home as well as reducing your energy bills for the long term. Do not neglect your home’s circulatory system. Make the investment in a ductwork inspection, repair, and maintenance. Request air duct service online today.
Commercial Services
Workplace studies show that many factors contribute to the satisfaction and productivity of your employees. A climate-controlled work environment is certainly near the top of the list.
By working with a professional heating and cooling company such as Garber Heating & Air Conditioning that specializes in commercial applications, you’ll be ensuring a comfortable and pleasant work environment for your staff, customers, and business stakeholders.
Heating Services
Providing reliable, consistent, and comfortable heat for a commercial operation can be challenging. In some cases, commercial buildings are large and winding. You may have a combination of small offices along with a large production facility.
Hiring a professional commercial heating provider is critical in finding the solution that will meet your particular building requirements. Our trained technicians may suggest commercial furnaces, boilers, or heat pumps as a commercial heating solution. Rooftop units (RTUs) can keep equipment out of sight and increase efficiency and ventilation in a Peoria commercial facility as well.
Cooling Services
Just like a properly scaled heating system is important in the winter, you’ll want a commercial cooling system in the summer that fits your unique commercial building’s needs. If cooling systems are inconsistent, you might end up with an imbalance in your commercial operation. If you are operating temperature-sensitive equipment, this can result in downtime or machine malfunctions.
Choose a professional heating and cooling company that has experience with commercial air conditioners, heat pumps, cooling towers, and chillers to ensure you select the best solution for your Illinois commercial cooling needs. Call Garber Heating & Air Conditioning at 309-866-3025 today.
Maintenance Services
Regular maintenance inspections and cleaning are important to keep any heating and cooling equipment in tiptop condition. However, it can be even more critical in a commercial setting because heating and cooling malfunctions can negatively affect productivity. Consider investing in a maintenance plan to automatically schedule service and take advantage of special pricing. Request commercial service online today.
Boilers
When the weather turns colder here in Illinois and it’s time to dig out your sweaters and jackets, be sure your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system is ready. If you operate a residential boiler system as your main source of heat, early autumn can be an excellent time to contact our Garber Heating & Air Conditioning professionals for a maintenance visit. Our trained experts can inspect, clean, and tune up your residential boiler system so it will be more reliable through the colder weather.
If you have a boiler that’s 10 years old or more, you may want to consider investing in a new residential boiler for your Peoria home. Boiler technology has changed a great deal in recent years, and the highest efficiency residential boilers can be up to twice as efficient as the oldest ones. That means you will make back the money you spend on a new residential boiler quickly through reduced energy bills.
Talk with our team about the best boilers available for residential use. It’s important to get professional direction on the size of boiler for your home and climate. Boilers that are too small for a particular space means insufficient heat while ones that are too big will waste energy day after day.
Call Garber Heating & Air Conditioning at 309-866-3025 to learn more. Our team is happy to help you ensure your current boiler is in good working order before the winter comes on full force or to help you select a new one tailored to your particular needs. Request boiler service online today.
Ductless Systems
If you are looking for a way to add supplemental heating or cooling to one area of your home, or if you think you could heat and cool your entire Illinois home in a nontraditional fashion, you may want to look into the efficient ductless system available today. These systems provide heating and cooling without using your Peoria home’s air duct system.
Our professionals at Garber Heating & Air Conditioning can help you determine the best application for a ductless system as well as help you size the appropriate unit for your space. Many homeowners find ductless systems are an excellent heating and cooling solution for room additions, man caves, bonus rooms, or guest suites.

An advantage of a ductless system is eliminating the loss of energy through a typical duct system. Customized climate control in infrequently used spaces is also an advantage.

Furnaces

Geothermal Heat Pumps
Whether you are thinking about building a dream house in the future or planning ahead in considering your options for a heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) replacement in Peoria, it’s worth thinking about alternative as well as conventional options.
Geothermal heating and cooling systems, while not as widely known as traditional HVAC systems, offer a clean, renewable, and an efficient way to heat, cool, and even provide hot water depending on the unit in question.
A geothermal furnace exchanges heat with the earth through a ground heat exchanger. While this may drive up the initial costs of setting up a residential geothermal heat pump or similar unit, savings crop up in the long run. In general, you can expect to recoup your investment in two to 10 years.
Depending on your needs, several different varieties of geothermal systems are available on the residential market including models that offer two-speed compressors, variable fans, and hybrid options. Don’t forget that not all geothermal HVAC systems will work with all Illinois homes. It’s always best to consult with professionals before making your final decision or before falling in love with a particular unit or system.

Heat Pumps
Finding a sustainable, efficient, and effective way to heat and cool your Peoria home can be a challenge. Fortunately, technology and developments in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) industry are making strides in this area. One solution is to invest in a heat pump for all your climate control needs.
Our Garber Heating & Air Conditioning team can provide a wealth of information about current heat pumps available today. Just like its name implies, a heat pump simply pumps warmer air between your home and the outdoors, depending on the season.
When you want additional heat during the colder months, the pump moves heat from outside to inside. When you want heat to be removed during the warmer seasons, the heat pump pushes the heat from inside to outside.
The majority of heat pumps available on the market today are air-source heat pumps. They consume less electricity than baseboard heaters and traditional furnaces, saving you money and reducing your home’s carbon footprint. Heat pumps do not create heat by burning a fuel such as wood or natural gas, which contributes to their energy efficiency and affordability.
High-efficiency heat pumps provide better dehumidification during the warmer months, giving them a leg up over conventional air conditioners.
If you want to get more information about heat pump models for your Illinois home, call Garber Heating & Air Conditioning at 309-866-3025 . Our team is ready and prepared to answer your questions. Request heat pump service online today.
Indoor Air Quality
Breathing is something we all take for granted but is absolutely vital to our existence moment to moment. Here in Peoria, most of us stay indoors nearly all the time, so the quality of the indoor air we breathe should be important to us. Our team at Garber Heating & Air Conditioning wants to help you be sure your indoor air quality is safe and healthy.
In nearly all indoor environments, dust, off-gassing from paints and carpets, and other pollutants are present in the air we breathe. Sometimes smoke and pet dander can be added to the mix. In most heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, an air filter can remove some of these pollutants. Some Illinois homeowners may choose to have a high-efficiency HEPA (high-efficiency particulate air) filter to remove even smaller particulates.
Indoor air quality problems may result in discomfort for you and your family or, in some cases, chronic long-term health issues like allergies and asthma. When you have one of our professionals come out and test your indoor air quality, you may discover areas that require remediation. New filtration systems, air purifiers, duct cleaning services, and other solutions may improve your situation.
Call our professionals at Garber Heating & Air Conditioning. Our number is 309-866-3025 and our trained experts are standing by to help remedy poor indoor air quality issues. Request indoor air quality service online today.
Maintenance
If you have recently noticed your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system struggling to combat Mother Nature’s extreme temperatures in Illinois, you might want to consider calling for HVAC maintenance.

Radiant Floors
If you are tired of hot and cold spots in your home, you may want to consider investing in radiant floor heating. Since this heating system is installed under your flooring, it tends to provide very even heat throughout your Illinois home.
Radiant floor heating tends to be associated with high-end luxurious homes, but this system can be added to most Peoria homes and works with any type of flooring. Although installation costs can be high and you are likely to experience some disruption during a lengthy installation process, radiant floor heating can be a great way to save energy in the long run.
Our professionals at Garber Heating & Air Conditioning can tell you the electrical- or water-based radiant flooring system only needs to be heated to 84 degrees. When you compare that to the 150 degrees that an old-fashioned furnace must reach, you can see why you save energy and money.
In addition to greater energy efficiency, radiant floor heating eliminates things like vents, air ducts, and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) equipment. That lends itself to more creative interior design possibilities. Once installed, radiant floor heating is easy to care for, safe, and simple to operate.
When you are ready to learn more, contact Garber Heating & Air Conditioning at 309-866-3025. Our trained team has a great deal of information about different offerings, pros and cons, installation, and costs. Request radiant floor heating service online today.
Zone Control Systems
Have you ever envisioned imaginary dollar bills just floating out of your home when you think about cooling or heating rooms not in use? This is actually what figuratively happens when there are specific parts of your Peoria home you don not use much but still heat and cool. Ideally, the rooms you are currently using are comfortable while the rest of your home is conserving energy. Up until recently, that was a difficult goal to achieve.
However, zone control systems are available today that allow you to do a better job of customizing your temperatures. Part of your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system, a zone control system allows you to operate several thermostats, each controlling the temperature of a different zone of your home. A zone control system automatically opens and closes the appropriate dampers to direct heating or cooling just where you want it in your Illinois home.
Our team at Garber Heating & Air Conditioning can provide more details and share the cost savings you can expect by installing a zone control system. Our trained professionals are well-versed in how to properly install, repair, and maintain a zone control system so it works effectively with your current HVAC system.

“Had a Modine HD gas heater installed in my garage. Very good experience from the salesperson Terry who performed an estimate for the job and provided suggestions on heater placement as well as gas line, electric, exhaust flue and thermostat locations that would best fit my garage setup. Scheduling of the install was quick and timely. Install team of Mike and Aaron arrived around noon and went right to work on it completing the job in a timely 4 hours. They were courteous and skillful in placing exhaust piping through ceiling and out the roof along with running a gas line to the heater as well as installing the thermostat and tying into existing electrical connections in the garage. The install was done in a professional and efficient manner. Very satisfied with the installation and care taken to get it right the first time. Definitely would recommend their services to anyone needing a similar installation. They did an excellent job.”

“Holy cow this carrier 6 ton geothermal is so much better than our geocomfort!
Garber installed a new carrier when our geocomfort went out after 11 years. Im looking forward to a geo with a LONGER lifespan than geocomfort. But the big thing is this is soooo quiet. With our old geocomfort the lights would dim a hair and you could hear it kick on throughout the house, like being next to a large window AC unit.
The New Carrier system Garber installed is amazing. The compressor is silent, the only thing you notice is warmth. Its awesome!”
