Why Trust Galaxy for Albany HVAC Service?

Albany's housing includes hillside homes, charming older properties near Solano Avenue, and compact residential neighborhoods. Many homes rely on outdated baseboard heaters or aging furnaces. Upgrading to modern heat pumps-especially ductless systems for homes without central ductwork-delivers superior comfort, lower energy costs, and optional AC for warmer days. Albany's community values environmental sustainability, making all-electric heat pumps a popular choice.

We serve Albany's commercial sector, including Solano Avenue retail and restaurants, office buildings, medical facilities, and multi-family housing. Our commercial team handles multi-zone ductless systems, rooftop units, and energy-efficient solutions.

Albany's bayside location creates a moderate coastal climate with cool marine influence. Temperatures typically range from 55-70°F year-round, with occasional warm inland days reaching 75-80°F. This comfortable climate makes efficient heat pumps ideal - providing year-round heating while offering optional cooling during warmer periods. Many Albany homeowners appreciate ductless heat pumps for their efficiency, whisper-quiet operation, and ability to serve older homes without invasive ductwork.
