I called Browns late Tuesday during a heatwave, and they were able to schedule a service appointment for the next day. The service call cost $125, but that amount goes towards any repair cost if needed so the initial call is essentially free if you need service costing more than $125.

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
Quick responses from a professional company. Although it was peak season for AC’s, they were able to send a crew over within 24-hours. This was so critical for us with 3 young kids in the house and the temps rising to 85 degrees.

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.

Obsessed 10/10. So friendly, really responsive company, cute service techs (big plus haha), honest, fast and reliable. They were literally here the next day. Love them, hate my 30 year old furnace.

Highly recommend these guys. We had a cooling issue, and Steven was here and gone in under an hour. He pointed out the issue and repaired it without talking much.

Highly recommend them! We needed a whole house humidifier because the winter air was making everyone in the house feel sick. The installation was very clean, and they tied it right into the water line without any leaks or issues. The technician showed me how to adjust the humidity level based on the temperature outside, so we don't get condensation on the windows. It's made the house feel much more comfortable, and my skin isn't nearly as dry as it used to be. I’m happy with the service.

I decided to upgrade to a Nest thermostat and scheduled the installation with this company. The technician arrived on time and installed the thermostat quickly. He also walked me through the settings and showed me how to control it through the phone app. The system now adjusts the temperature automatically during the day, which is convenient. It has made managing the indoor temperature much easier. The team from Brown’s handled the installation smoothly and made sure everything was working before leaving.

Helping You Select the Best Driveway Heating System

Choosing the right heated driveway system can feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it simple. There are several options available, each designed to suit different needs and preferences.

Hydronic systems use heated water circulated through tubing to keep driveways warm, while electric systems use heating cables to melt snow and ice efficiently.

If you’re looking for an easy retrofit solution, heating mats can be installed under existing driveways. Portable snow melting mats are a temporary yet effective option for smaller areas.

For eco-conscious homeowners, geothermal systems provide sustainable heating by utilizing the earth’s natural warmth.

Let us help you navigate these choices to find the perfect system for your home—contact us today to get expert advice.

different types of heated driveway systems

Hydronic Driveway Heating Systems

Hydronic driveway heating systems are among the most popular options for snow and ice removal. These systems circulate a mixture of water and antifreeze through flexible tubing installed beneath the driveway surface. Powered by a boiler, they deliver consistent heat to large areas, making them ideal for long driveways or high-traffic zones. Their energy efficiency and ability to cover expansive spaces make hydronic systems a go-to choice for homeowners seeking reliable snow melt solutions.

Electric Driveway Heating Systems

Electric driveway heating systems use durable heating cables embedded under the driveway surface to generate heat. These systems are easy to control and perfect for quick, efficient snow removal. Ideal for smaller driveways or specific problem areas, electric systems provide precise heating without requiring a boiler or plumbing work. Their straightforward installation and minimal maintenance needs make them a convenient choice for many homeowners.

Retrofit Heating Mats

Retrofit heating mats are designed to be installed over existing driveways, providing an effective way to upgrade your snow removal system without tearing out the entire surface. These mats use electric cables and are often placed under asphalt, concrete, or pavers during resurfacing. They’re an excellent solution for homeowners seeking a cost-effective way to add heating capabilities to their driveways.

Portable Snow snow-melting mats

Portable snow melting mats offer a flexible, temporary option for keeping pathways, steps, and smaller driveway areas clear. Simply lay the mats down and plug them in to start melting snow and ice instantly. These mats are ideal for those who need targeted snow removal without committing to a permanent system.

Geothermal Driveway Heating Systems

Geothermal driveway heating systems harness the earth’s consistent underground temperature to provide eco-friendly snow and ice removal. By utilizing a ground-source heat pump, these systems are not only energy-efficient but also reduce your carbon footprint. They’re an excellent long-term investment for homeowners looking to combine sustainability with superior performance.

Choosing the right system depends on your specific needs, driveway size, and budget. Still unsure? Reach out to us at (708) 536-8134 or book your appointment online, and we’ll guide you to the best solution for your home.
