  Excellent Business!!! I was desperate for a heating repair in freezing weather. The staff were helpful, knowledgeable and went out of their way to get us up and running. Highly recommend!

  My first time there and I really like to place the people were very nice and polite and I'll go there again and again because they sell parts to fix my furnace and I don't have to have a license Heating and Air

  Simple and Affordable: I was able to go in the store and buy a $24 AC capacitor without an account or paying for installation (like many HVAC businesses). There was no sales pressure. The guy working there confirmed my old capacitor was bad (it was bulging) and said the new one has a one year warranty. This is a great deal! Update: I had a 27 year old 80% efficient 100k BTU furnace having trouble lighting up. Brockman helped me try to keep it running with parts, but I got tired of messing with it. Brockman installed a 95% efficient 40k BTU Lennox for $2500. I specifically requested the 40k. The house had some energy efficiency improvements since built in 1963. If you're getting a replacement furnace: In my opinion, oversized furnace are very common. Being oversized means more likely to wake (and in general annoy) occupants when it turns on from the noise, and then wake them again when it turns off due to the greater cold feeling it leaves. ACs are more often sized right. To figure size needed, take the percentage time the old furnace ran while 25F, windy, and cloudy/dark outside (ex.: 20 min per hour = 33%). Multiply that percentage by 2 (because 25F is half way to -20F from 70F) to figure how much it would run at -20F to cover worst case (ex. = 66%). Multiply this worst case % needed by your old furnace size BTU output (ex. 0.66 needed x 80k BTU out = 53k BTU out needed). Get the next size up (ex: 95% efficient 60k outputs 57k BTU). Example all together = (20min/60min) x 2 x 80k BTU existing = 53k BTU needed. One can also estimate the BTU/hour exchange of all components and occupants for a structure, but a lot of assumptions go into that. (I'm an environmental engineer.) The above simple formula I explained is more accurate.
