Georgia Balance Company was established in July of 1994 by George Skouteris and Stephen Garner.
At our humble beginning we were operating out of a loft on the top of Steve’s barn at his house. Soon we outgrew the loft and we rented an office space in Moreland, Georgia. Outgrowing that office; Georgia Balance purchased a property and built a permanent home, which is still our current location.
George and Steve wanted to start a Test, Adjusting and Balancing company that would provide the best TAB services in Georgia and possibly the South East United States.
In addition, they wanted to provide benefits to their employees that could only be found in much larger companies e.g. paid holidays, vacation, medical, sick leave and matched 401K.
They dedicated themselves to excellence, performance, accuracy and customer service. They trained all their technicians to the same virtues. Steve was the President of GBC and his duties included running the office, bidding, field work and timely providing reports to our customers. George was the Vice President and his duties included training, scheduling and overseeing all the technicians’ and field work. George and Steve were partners for 20 years in which the company had considerable growth, success and earned an excellent reputation among engineers, owners, mechanical contractors and other TAB companies.
In May of 2013 Steve retired and since then George has been at the helm of GBC adhering to the same principles that they started with in 1994, excellence, performance, accuracy and customer service.

Our highly trained and experienced TAB technicians have been providing professional, accurate, reliable Test, Adjusting and Balancing using state of the art, calibrated instrumentation since 1994.

Testimonials
I have been in the HVAC business for over 35 years and I have worked around and with several test and balance agencies on different projects through out Southeast Georgia. After working with George and his team at Georgia Balance for the first time about 4 or 5 years ago we discovered there is a difference in T & B agencies. We work heavily for medical facilities and it really makes things go smoothly when the T & B agency you are working with understands how a medical facility works especially when it comes to labs, chemo mixing room, OR rooms, isolation rooms, and other specialty areas in a medical facility. It really helps when you do not have to explain to your T & B agent how each room works and what each area’s requirements are.
Over the years I have recommended them directly to several other facilities and other HVAC companies in our area for their T & B needs. Another positive side is the timeliness in receiving reports after projects are finished which helps us in completing our close out documents so we can receive payments for projects promptly.
Thank you,

Wilson Air Conditioning Service has counted on the reliability and quality at Georgia Balance for approximately 15 years. George and his team are dependable, hardworking, and trustworthy. They have always “gone the extra mile” when we needed them to. Rarely these days do you find not only the top individuals in a company but every staff member who are so willing (and capable) to do what is needed, this company exceeds at this. We plan on counting on them for years to come!
Thanks

I am Director of engineering at East Georgia Regional Medical Center in Statesboro Georgia. GBC has been doing our annual pressurization test for 4 years. I could not ask for a company that is more reliable and easier to work with. I know that when he is checking air flows , if there is a problem , he will stop and repair before he goes on to next room. That is a great piece of mind to know that when the report arrives it is a finished document without a lot of problems that needs addressed. I highly recommend Georgia Test and Balance to anyone that needs his services.

It has been our pleasure to use Georgia Balance Company since their inception and George and Steve worked for us several years before Georgia Balance was started. Steve has since retired and George has taken the company and done great things with it.
They have always been very attentive to detail and when they complete a project, we know it is correct per the engineer’s documents. This saves us from having call backs to the project due to imbalance and equipment not working properly.
I would recommend Georgia Balance on any type of project.
Thanks,
