Braman Heating & Cooling

Description of Work: Contacted them to do a heating inspection and tune-up in response to their "Fall Special" for $49.99. Arrived exactly on time, cleaned and inspected the furnace as I watched. Saw something that concerned him with the flame. Did testing by air vent in another room and discovered that there was carbon monoxide present (4 parts per million). We shut off the furnace and discussed my options and the various prices on a replacement furnace. I was interested in a higher efficient furnace but because of the shape of my townhouse and the narrow distance available between my external windows and where the exhaust pipe would have to be this would not meet code. After shopping around, I went back and bought an 80% efficient replacement. Nick measured my house, and recommended a slightly smaller unit with an outstanding reputation and warranty. He arranged an appointment, was here exacted on time, removed the old unti, installed the new unit, arranged for the city code inspector visit, cleaned -up and did it all in under 4 hours. I liked that he used the existing duct work where possible, explained why he was changing the components that he did not use. He is an "artist" in shaping sheet metal and making a tight and square connection. He improved the electrical switch set-up with a brace whereas the initial installer had left it hanging. He taped all the joints. He sold me a box of better furnace filters, explained why they were better, explained what to expect once the new more powerful blower motor will push existing dust that passed through the "cheapie" filter will now be trapped, and the frequency that I should be changing them until this is cleaner out. why there
