Three decades of keeping Southeast Georgia comfortable. Built on trust, powered by expertise, and dedicated to the communities we call home.
Our Story
Rooted in Wayne County, Growing with Our Community
With over 45 years of experience, we have been keeping homes and businesses comfortable since 1995. Our team of licensed, bonded, and insured professionals is dedicated to providing exceptional heating, cooling, and air quality services.
Altamaha Heating & Air Inc was founded by Carl Scarborough with a straightforward vision: provide honest, reliable HVAC service to the people of Wayne County and the surrounding region. What started as a one-man operation out of Jesup has grown into a trusted team that families and businesses depend on year after year.
As President, Carl still leads every major decision and stays involved in day-to-day operations. That hands-on ownership means you are working directly with the people who care about getting your job done right. There are no layers of corporate red tape, no call centers, and no runaround. When you call Altamaha Heating & Air, you reach people who live and work right here in your community.
Being a family operation is something we take pride in. It means every customer is treated like a neighbor, because more often than not, they are one. We have watched kids grow up in the homes we service, and we have been there for local businesses through expansions, renovations, and emergencies.

Why Family-Owned Matters
When a company is family-owned and locally operated, accountability is personal. Our name is on every truck and every invoice. Carl Scarborough and the Altamaha team stake their reputation on every single job, which is why quality and honesty are at the foundation of everything we do.
We do not answer to corporate shareholders or out-of-state management. Our priority is straightforward: take care of our customers and our community. That means showing up on time, explaining what needs to be done in plain language, and charging a fair price. No hidden fees, no unnecessary upsells.
