Here in southern Georgia, our summers can be extremely hot and humid. Trying to live in a home without A/C a South Georgia summer isn't just a bad idea; it can be downright deadly. Fortunately, Liberty Heating & Air is here to help with all of your A/C needs. There's no A/C issue that our highly trained HVAC technicians haven't seen before, and no job too small or large for us to tackle. Whether your A/C system needs a basic issue resolved, or you need a new AC unit installed at your house, our team will be at your door in no time.
We have the experience and training to service all major air conditioning systems, from ductless systems to central air setups. We're authorized to service Goodman to Carrier brands, but the truth is it doesn't matter what A/C unit brand you have - our team can fix it all. If your unit is beyond repair, we can walk you through the process of installing a new A/C system and suggest appropriate units that will work well for your home.
Here are just a few of the most common A/C repair services we offer in Hinesville and the surrounding area:
Once springtime rolls around, it's very important that you keep your eyes and ears open for any potential warning signs that your A/C unit needs to be repaired. The last thing you need is to be caught off guard when June, July, and August are in full swing. Knowledge is power, and at Liberty Heating & Air, committed to keeping our customers in the loop about potential A/C repair warning signs. That way, you can take preventative steps rather than reactive ones.
Don't be alarmed if your A/C unit makes low-level noises throughout the day and night - these sounds are completely normal. However, if you hear loud, unusually abrupt noises coming from your unit, it may be time to have it repaired. Buzzing or rattling noises can mean a part is loose, while grinding or whistling can signal a more serious problem. Because these types of issues won't work themselves out on their own, a professional is needed to diagnose and correct the problem.
If you notice strange, smelly odors permeating throughout your home, your first instinct may be to grab the air freshener. However, unpleasant odors can be a sign that your A/C unit needs attention. Our A/C repair techs will let you know what's going on and how a potential issue can be remediated with a quick diagnostic test.
Your A/C unit needs refrigerant to keep your home cool and comfortable when it's hot outside. It's common for condensation to accumulate as your system cools your home. With that said, if you notice pooling water or an active leak coming from your A/C system, it's time to call an A/C repair tech ASAP. Leaks can cause extensive damage to your home, and the problem needs to be addressed quickly.
South Georgia isn't known for its freezing temperatures, but one thing is for sure - wintertime in Hinesville can get very cold. When the temps begin to drop, your home's furnace works properly. Modern homes have come a long way since the days of wood and coal. Your home's heater is complicated, and when one component fails, the entire system can be affected. In situations like these, it's important not to panic. Instead, give Liberty Heating & Air a call. Our trustworthy team of heating repair experts have the knowledge and training to repair your furnace fast, so you can get back to enjoying your home.
Here are just a few of the most common issues that we can help repair:
Today's heating systems are complex. At Liberty Heating & Air, our heating repair technicians receive ongoing training in all aspects of heating technology. That way, their skills stay sharp, and their techniques remain up to date. However, you don't need to be an expert to spot common signs that your heater may need to be repaired.
As colder months approach in Georgia, try to be aware of the following red flags:
You're probably used to a more expensive electricity bill when winter hits Hinesville. However, if you notice a huge price jump over last year's bill, it could be a sign that something is wrong with your heating system. Utility companies are known for raising prices gradually, but a dramatic leap is a cause for concern.
Does your heater seem to work perfectly in some areas of your house but not others? Are some rooms too hot while others are drafty and cold? If so, your heater may need repairing. This is a common issue in older homes and requires an expert to inspect your heater and ducts for airflow problems.
If the air in your house is hazy no matter how much you dust, your heater may be the problem. A furnace that circulates mildew, dust, and other harmful particles isn't working correctly. This issue is particularly bad for people with asthma or respiratory illnesses. If you haven't changed your home's air filter recently, be sure to do so. If the problem persists, it's time to call Liberty Heating & Air.
You and your family depend on your home's A/C system to keep you cool and comfortable during the hottest months of the year. Unfortunately, breakdowns happen at the worst possible times - like in the middle of July when temperatures are over 90 degrees. If you have had to repair your A/C system more and more often, investing in a new cooling system will save you time and money in the long run.
As an Authorized Carrier and Goodman dealer - two of the most recognized and respected brands in our industry - we have the highest quality units available. We handle every aspect of your new A/C installation from start to finish. That way, you can focus on living your life rather than worrying about the next time your A/C goes out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
If you have kept your unit well-maintained and changed your air filter regularly, you shouldn't experience this problem. If you do, and your system is old, it can be more cost-effective to replace it and have your duct system analyzed to fix the root cause of your dust issue.
If it feels unusually sticky in your home, like you just spent a few hours outside in the summertime, there's a good chance that something is seriously wrong with your air conditioning. Your air conditioner's job is to pull moisture out of the air to keep your feeling cool inside. When that process fails, it can increase your risk of mold and mildew growth - and that's just the start.
When your repair bills end up costing more than a down payment on a new A/C system, it might make more financial sense to invest in a more modern unit. Compare how much it costs to have our maintenance technicians perform regular service vs. the cost of a new air conditioning installation. The results may surprise you.

HINESVILLE, Ga. (WTOC) - A Hinesville restaurant is closing its doors after 12 years of business.
Izola’s went viral for their TikTok videos during the pandemic and brought the community together through food.
Emotional is the word the community is using to describe the closure of Izola’s in Hinesville. They say it wasn’t just a place to get good food, but a place that felt like home, and a place they could depend on.
“Um, I’m hurt. I’m really hurt,” said customer Stephanie Mckissick.
“It’s bittersweet. It’s like a part of my heart is being left inside these walls and I won’t be able to reach back and grab that,” said chef Patrick Whiters.
”It’s emotional,” said owner Glenn Poole.
But even though they’re closing, mostly due to not having many employees left after the pandemic, they say they were happy to do something good for the community around them.
“Well we do know that several hotels have called us and thanked us for filling the hotels up because people have come from all over the world, not just the United States, from the world to eat with us.”
So good that one family flew to Hinesville Thursday to show their support and finally get their hands on an Izola meal.
“I called him, I said we have to go.. it’s our last day.. it’s our last opportunity to have Izola’s. He didn’t appreciate it.. you know what’s funny, the first thing he said to me was ‘you want me to go all the way there to get some southern food, we can get that here... no no no...”
So, they got ready for the day, hopped on their private plane and the final question was...
“Was it worth it? I would’ve flown double. I would’ve driven. I’m so happy this worked out, it’s sad that it’s going away because I could see this blowing up as good as this is... this is seriously quality food.”
Owners Glenn and Lori Poole are sad to close this chapter but excited to finally take a well deserved rest.
“We don’t have any plans right now; we’re just going to rest. We need an emotional rest and physical rest.”
And they have two words for the community that shaped them.
“We want to say thank you and we love our community.”
In honor of their closure, they created a good-bye video that can be found on their Facebook page.

The revitalization of downtown Hinesville will continue, and may even get more emphasis, city officials said Thursday.
The Liberty County Chamber of Commerce held its annual state of the city address at its monthly Progress Through People luncheon, and members got updated on how much Hinesville has grown in recent years — and what lies ahead with more anticipated growth.
“We’ve had tremendous growth in the city,” said City Manager Kenneth Howard, who pointed the effect of the Oglethorpe Square project on the city.
Howard said the reborn Small World Festival, which is set for March 9, 2024, was a success, drawing nearly 5,000 people to downtown Hinesville. Howard said the festival is a signature event for the city.
“It is so critically important we continue to focus on downtown,” he said. “As so goes your downtown, so goes your entire city.”
The number of new businesses and new construction in the city continues at a rapid pace. In 2023 alone, the city added 152 new businesses and has added 105 new businesses for each of the last five years.
“I grew up in Hinesville. We didn’t even have 50 businesses,” Mayor Allen Brown said. “And now we have 152 in one year.”
The building sector also remains strong. There were 274 new residential and commercial building permits issued in the city for 2023, totaling $95.1 million in investment, a 16.5% increase from 2022.
Brown also pointed to the council reducing its millage over the years. The city’s overall budget is nearly $51 million, and its general fund budget is $26.7 million. While the budget has grown, the millage rate for property taxes has been cut from 11.51 in 2014 to 10.15 in 2023, he noted.
The recent small business incubator opening also shows the city’s commitment to growing small businesses, according to Howard. The recently- opened incubator, across Memorial Drive from the Georgia Southern campus in Hinesville, will support first-time entrepreneurs, growing companies and vendors.
“It took heavy lifting, a lot of heavy lifting, to get where we are,” Howard said.
At the facility, technical assistance and financial resources can be provided to start-ups and other nascent enterprises. “Small business in any community is important,”
Howard said.
The Hinesville Fire Department’s new station, opened this summer, was done not with a ribbon cutting but with an uncoupling of fire hoses. The new station was dedicated to late fire marshal Earnest “Moe” McDuffie, the city’s first Black fire marshal.
“Grand opening was a theme for this year,” Howard said.
On the site of the old station, which has been razed, the HFD’s new administrative building is going up and is scheduled to be completed in May 2024. The city’s fire department also is working on a fire training facility, on five acres donated by the Liberty County Development Authority. A three-story training building is planned for the site, and the city is partnering with the Georgia Fire Academy, along with public and private fire fighting outfits to conduct training.
The next phases of Krebs Park, to include playgrounds and exercise stations, are expected to be completed by May 2024. The first phase of the park, started in March 2022, was finished this June and a planned section of tennis courts was turned into a pickleball court — which quickly became overwhelmed with players of the growing sport.
Because of the demand, the city is putting in six more pickleball courts.
“Within months, we were bombarded with requests for additional opportunities to play,” Howard said.
Also included in that phase are a pavilion, bathrooms and a skate park. The cost of the initial phase was $1.16 million and the second phase is projected to cost just under $800,000, funded through special local option sales tax proceeds.
“We’re excited about what’s going on out there,” Howard said.
The city also is attempting to address affordable housing and has a three-phase approach to rebuilding the Azalea Street neighborhood. The first phase built seven single- family homes, with townhomes. The second phase built 14 single-family homes. The third phase, split into two, calls for six single-family homes, with two to be designed for low-to-moderate income families, and a final piece of seven single-family homes for low-to-moderate incomes.
“We don’t have enough affordable housing in Hinesville,” Howard said.
The city is partnering with the Hinesville Housing Authority on those last seven homes and is partnering with the HHA for 70 apartment units in another project. As the city expects and projects more growth in the coming years, and for its neighboring cities it serves with utilities, it plans on expanding its water reclamation facility from 2 million gallons per day to 4 million gallons per day. Howard said the expanded capacity will be needed into 2024-25, but the cost is steep — about $26 million.
To keep with its demand for water and to get ahead of what might be needed in the future, the city has partnered with Long County for a well in Long County not far from the city limits. Hinesville and Liberty County are in what are called yellow zones, meaning its groundwater withdrawal capacity is limited. Long County is in a green zone, where there are no restrictions.
“The green well zone is out of necessity,” Howard said. “Right now, we have a capacity issue.”
Permits are being prepared for the state Environmental Protection Division and work on the well could start in spring of 2024 and then be operational in the fall of 2024.
The state of the city address was the last for Brown, who cannot serve again because of term limits. His second four-year term is ending, and coupled with his initial time as mayor, he served 16 years as the city’s chief executive.
“This is my last rodeo,” he said. “I’ve enjoyed it. And being mayor of your hometown is a big deal. I’m humbled and thankful to be able to do that.”
Brown also praised the work of the Military Affairs Coalition and lauded Council member Jason Floyd for pushing for the youth council.
“Jason helped us into this program and it’s alive and well,” Brown said. “We really love our youth.”
Liberty County Commissioner Gary Gilliard, who also is an executive with the city’s public works contractor, recalled how Brown as a coach helped ease the path for Blacks in the days following the end of segregation.
“Politics is bringing everyone together,” Gilliard said, “and no one did it better than Allen Brown. If he ran again, my entire family would vote for him.”
“We really have achieved a lot in the last eight years,” Howard added.

HINESVILLE, Ga. (WTGS) — The owners of Izola's Country Cooking, a Hinesville favorite, have announced they will be closing their doors for good by the end of this month.
Glenn and Lori Poole said they have watched the city grow throughout the years and are proud to be a part of that.
They said providing a southern-style home-cooked meal and friendly service were at the core of their philosophy when they decided to open their restaurant, even going as far as naming it after Lori's great-grandmother, who passed some of the recipes down herself.
"It's important because it's our tradition here in the south, you know, and a lot of people aren't making this, and most of the people that cook this way are not with us anymore," said Glenn." A lot of the recipes came from that generation, my grandmother and some of our older cooks, so it's important to just keep those traditions alive," Lori added.

The Poole's said the COVID-19 pandemic did a number on their business, with things like staffing issues and inflation impacting their bottom line.
They have since announced that November 30 will be the last day they open their doors.
"After the pandemic, everything changed. We were short on staff. A lot of our staff moved, some of them got other jobs so we just never regained from that. Also, the food costs continue to go up, and everybody knows that if you're buying food," said Glenn.
Hungry travelers from all over the country are making their way to Liberty County to grab a bite at Izola's before it's too late.
Steve Bassett and his family drove from Missouri and are some of the restaurants' over 500,000 followers on TikTok - their page garnering over 10 million likes.

"The kids got me on TikTok, and I've been seeing this place for over a year, and we wanted to get here last year but wasn't able to, but this year, we made the journey," Bassett said. "All the videos don't do it justice. It was well worth the drive."
Glenn and Lori said they have enjoyed meeting people from all over the world through social media and hope that people remember their business fondly as they move on to the next chapter of their lives.
"I hope they'll always remember our love for cooking for them and our love for this community absolutely."

The Hinesville Development Authority, Liberty County Chamber of Commerce and the city of Hinesville, in partnership with Georgia Southern University’s Business Innovation Group (BIG), have launched the very first Hinesville Business Incubator, partially funded by an Economic Development Administration (EDA) grant. The incubator is located across the street from Georgia Southerns Liberty Campus in downtown Hinesville.
"I am immensely proud of the united effort to bring the Small Business Incubator to our community,” said Mayor of Hinesville Allen Brown. “This invaluable asset will serve as a wellspring of innovation and a cornerstone of growth for our community. It is not merely a building; it is a symbol of the city’s commitment to fostering local talent, nurturing entrepreneurship, and enriching the lives of our residents.”
The Hinesville Business Incubator will be operated by BIG, which currently runs two other incubators, including one in Statesboro targeting cross-industry clients, and the other in Metter, called the Georgia Grown Innovation Center, which targets the agricultural industry. The Hinesville Business Incubator is slated to serve greater Liberty County in addition to military veterans, spouses, career changers and budding entrepreneurs.
“The Hinesville Business Incubator serves as a testament to the City of Hinesville and the Hinesville Development Authority’s commitment to fostering economic vitality,” said Kenneth Howard, city manager for Hinesville. “I’m proud to have been a part of the team that helped bring this project to the community, and I have no doubt that it will be the driving force behind a brighter, more prosperous future for our community.”
The team at BIG is looking forward to growing the Hinesville Business Incubator to better serve and reach more entrepreneurs in the region.
“The Business Innovation Group at Georgia Southern University works to build an ecosystem throughout the state of Georgia to help entrepreneurs create, incubate and accelerate their for-profit business enterprises,” said Dominique Halaby, DPA, associate provost for Innovation and Commercialization at Georgia Southern. “BIG works to facilitate access to university resources, to create opportunities for student experiential learning and to foster an environment that supports a growth mindset throughout the state. We look forward to offering these opportunities to the Coastal Georgia region.”
The Hinesville Business Incubator works on a membership model offering options such as private offices, hot desks, dedicated pods or workspaces for virtual opportunities. Included in membership are training programs, business coaching and access to BIG’s extensive network of resources. Community programs such as BIG Café, will be open to the public providing ways to network and discover interesting ventures being developed.
Leah Poole, Chief Executive Officer of the Liberty County Chamber of Commerce, believes the incubator will make a difference to the entrepreneurs in the area.
“The Liberty County Chamber is extremely proud to play a role in the formation of the Georgia Southern University Business Incubator in Hinesville,” said Poole. “We know that the entrepreneurs who receive assistance from this facility will receive top-notch service in the formation of their business.”
Justin McCartney, chairman of the Hinesville Development Authority (HDA), said the incubator will provide a resource that aligns with the HDA’s vision.
“The vision statement of the Hinesville Development Authority charges the members of the board with helping to create an environment in which people are drawn to Hinesville as a distinctive and attractive place to live, work, and play,” McCartney said. “We can see how our efforts have helped bring additional economic options to the community, enriching the lives of those that come here.
“Fort Stewart has been the economic engine for this community for decades,” he continued. “The Hinesville Business Incubator will provide a mechanism for military and veteran families to start and grow their own business enterprise. The HDA is honored to have been a part of bringing the incubator to fruition, and with the knowledge and expertise that Georgia Southern University brings, we look forward to seeing the new entrepreneurs grow and thrive in our community.”
BIG was founded more than a decade ago when the University’s entrepreneurship and business development programs agreed to work together to leverage their resources and maximize the impact the programs can have on the economic vitality of the region. The result has been two vibrant business incubator centers where students, faculty, veterans and business professionals can find the support, education and training necessary to start and grow a new business. With locations in Statesboro, Metter and now in Hinesville, BIG is expanding the footprint of Georgia Southern and economic development in the region.
Entrepreneurs or individuals with winning business ideas who would like to be a part of the Hinesville Business Incubator and receive business advising and coaching are invited to apply for membership by directly contacting Blake at cblake@georgiasouthen.edu or 770-883-1117.
