The techs arrived exactly on time at the start of the appointment window, and quickly found the issues (dirty condenser coils, refrigerant top-off, and system sealant to address the small leak). Ramond clearly explained the impact of each along with the cost to fix, then confirmed which services I wanted and what my total would be before starting the work. I also appreciate that Ramond answered all my dumb questions about how air conditioning actually works; he's a great science teacher 🤓.
The cost was less than I expected for a next-day service (coil cleaning $239, sealant $285, and a few pounds of refrigeratant was $370).
During the payment process, the tech didn't prompt for a tip, unlike most companies. So don't forget to ask them for their Zelle/Venmo if you want to send a tip
Angelique on the phone gave clear instructions on what I needed to do before the service guys showed up. Ramod & Eric were courteous and wore shoe covers as they entered the house. They took a quick look and knew what needed to be done immediately.
As a Realtor, I’ve changed many an AC units and their prices were very fair. We ended up repairing instead of a new AC unit. The repair was less than what he originally quoted. How is that for honest service?! Amazing!
They will have to come back for a service ($99) as we ran out of time.
I can highly recommend Browns Heating & Cooling without any hesitation.

What Is a Boiler Buffer Tank?
A boiler buffer tank is a storage tank that holds hot water produced by your boiler. It helps regulate temperature fluctuations and prevents the system from turning on and off (short cycling) too frequently. This simple addition:
-
Increases boiler efficiency
-
Stabilizes water temperature
-
Reduces system wear and tear
-
Optimizes performance in low-load applications (like radiant floor heat or small zones)
Whether you’re upgrading an older system or installing new equipment, a buffer tank is a smart choice for long-term performance and energy savings.
