Kelleher HVAC

Seasonal swings place steady demands on heating, cooling, plumbing, and electrical systems, so planning routine upkeep and timely fixes can prevent bigger disruptions. For consistent performance, many homes and small businesses consider hvac Richmond as an integrated approach that covers air distribution, filtration, and thermostat control. Quick diagnostics help ac repair in Richmond address airflow restrictions, refrigerant issues, or failing capacitors before they strain other components. During cold snaps, emergency furnace repair Richmond often centers on testing safety controls, checking fuel supply, and verifying venting to keep heat reliable. Coordinating these tasks with plumbing checks, like inspecting condensate drains, can reduce moisture problems near air handlers. Electrical reviews also matter, especially when heat pumps, air conditioners, and home generators share panel capacity. Well-timed service visits are typically scheduled around filter changes and manufacturer-recommended intervals for coils and burners. Kelleher HVAC supports homeowners and small commercial sites with HVAC, plumbing, electrical, heating oil, and generator guidance in Richmond, VA, helping systems run safely through humidity, pollen, and temperature swings common to the area.
 

Kelleher opened in 1968 as a small family heating oil business started by Mike Kelleher, his wife Marie and their son Joe, with another son, Pat, joining soon after. The company still works out of 1301 School Street, and three generations of six Kelleher family members currently manage, operate and staff it.

The trade mix was added one department at a time rather than all at once. Oil delivery came first. As area homeowners began asking for air conditioning in the 1970s, the company moved into HVAC service, then built an in-house electrical team to support the new equipment installations, and later brought plumbers on board because existing customers kept asking for the work.

On the credential side, Kelleher fields NATE-certified HVAC technicians, holds a State Registered Class A Contractor license in Virginia, and is a Better Business Bureau accredited business. It is also a certified Trane Comfort Specialist, though technicians will install other brands on request and repair all major brands in homes and light commercial buildings.

One area the company calls out specifically is rooms that never feel right: finished attics, bonus rooms over garages, sun rooms, enclosed porches, outbuildings and musty basement spaces. Instead of stretching an existing duct system further and straining the equipment already in place, Kelleher installs a dedicated ductless mini-split in the target room, paired with a compact outdoor unit. Those modulating heat pumps handle winter heat, summer cooling and humidity removal in the same system.

Preventive maintenance plans are offered for oil, gas, heat pump, air conditioning and generator equipment. Each annual maintenance visit includes up to one pound of refrigerant, and additional visits during the plan year are $60 off. Free estimates are available on new and upgraded systems, with technicians typically quoting component replacements on site, and financing runs through a Wells Fargo Home Projects credit card.

Coverage extends across metro Richmond, including Ashland, Bon Air, Chesterfield, Glen Allen, Hanover, Henrico, Manchester, Mechanicsville, Midlothian, Short Pump, Scott’s Addition, Shockoe Bottom, the Historic District and the Fan.
