Thomas & Galbraith Heating and Cooling was founded in 1977. Early on, it primarily served the residential new construction market. In October 2002, owners Larry Thomas and Neal Galbraith retired, and Michael Weber purchased the company. Since 2002, the company has significantly reduced it's reliance on residential new construction, and has focused primarily on residential and light commercial service and replacement. The company is well known throughout Greater Cincinnati as a company of the highest integrity, honesty, and ethics. Thomas & Galbraith is one of very few Carrier dealers in the U.S. to have earned the prestigious Presidents Club Award for three years in a row, in 2008, 2009 and 2010.
