It was amazing! They came on time, even worked a day earlier so we would have heat before it got too cold at night. They worked around the hours that my husband or I could be home and were very sweet to out 2 year old little girl. Who referred to Jerry as "papa" more than once. He talked to her so nicely when she was in the room. They cleaned up nicely and walked us through everything that they did. They will be back in the summer to double check the air, but we are so, so happy! We would recommend them to anyone in the area.
Description of Work: We had a new air conditioner and high efficiency furnace installed about 1 week ago. They installed the new ones and removed the old ones.

The technicians showed up when promised and was very quick both times. Jerry even offered to store the unit at his warehouse so that it wouldn't be appealing to scrappers driving by for a few weeks while the patio was being replaced. It would have been sitting in the yard otherwise. Overall i was very happy with the work and dealing with the company.

Service tech was on time and pleasant. He thoroughly cleaned the furnace and checked it out. Spent about 45 minutes on job. Also reminded me to turn the furnace back down when he left. We've been using BRC for years. As a matter of fact, we had them install the furnace & a/c unit about 8 years ago, along with building and creating venting to the room addition which prior didn't have any central air or heat. Now the room is cozy in winter and cold in summer. And the beam they installed is beautiful! AND - best part, they are family owned and you feel like a friend when they are done with the job.

My air conditioning system was leaking and they cleaned out the pipe and showed me how to do it myself in the future. They are very reliable and nice people to deal with. I have had problems over the years with the furnace going out in the winter time and they always come out right away, which is important to me. I think their pricing seem reasonable.

The company did exactly what they said they would do, for the price they specified. They finished the work in one day, and cleaned up well after the job was done. I thought the quality of the work was good.
Description of Work: BRC installed a new air duct from the furnace room to the outside of the house to prevent the room from getting a negative pressure and allowing a back draft to occur. This issue was identified by another company during an energy audit.

BRC is family run operation. Father/ son and other family. Great to work with. When you call ask for Jerry or son Bob.
Description of Work: Our air conditioner wasn't not working property. It was determined we had a freon leak. The leak was discovered in the ac coils on top of the furnance. We had an unusual part so the company didn't have it in stock. The part would take a few days. Since both my wife and I work we didn't have much flexablility with the next service call. I called Jerry the owner and asked him if he could accomidate our schedule and also we were going to have a heat wave. He personally drove and got the part and completed the job the next date since I could take some time off.
