Fast & Professional AC & Heating Services in Merritt Island
Does your Merritt Island home or business need help with a failing air conditioner or furnace? Are you unsure of where you can go, not sure what a fair price is, or wondering how you can make sure that the person you’re allowing into your home or business is just as much of a professional as they claim to be?
Call Brevard Cooling and Heating, Inc., and you won’t have to worry about any of these things. We have a strong reputation for quality, fair, and friendly service. We have been in the HVAC business for a long time—more than 34 years of combined service, to be exact. During that time, we have worked hard for our reputation, and you can be sure that we are going to do everything necessary to make sure you’re just as happy with us as all of our other customers.
For years now, we have serviced Merritt Island, offering the best in installation, repair, and maintenance service. We also offer complete tune-ups as well as duct cleaning and duct sanitizing. All of our services ensure that your HVAC system is highly operational.
Services We Offer
As a home or business owner, you want the best HVAC system for your property. This is why we work with only reputable brands when it comes to air conditioning and heating unit installations. Our installation process runs smoothly from start to finish. When you need a new unit, we arrive at your property and provide an inspection of your current system. We consider the size of your home or business as well as heating/cooling load need.
Energy efficiency is also important, so we work to find the right unit that will provide you with not only comfort but also a high rate of energy efficiency. This way, your monthly utility bill is manageable, and your unit is not working overtime to provide the heating or cooling for the space.
Installation
With every installation appointment, we make several recommendations, so you can find the right unit for your needs and one that meets any budget restrictions. We know that in most cases, a new installation is not anticipated and can be a difficult cost to bear. Our team will work with you to ensure that you can have a new unit installed that is affordable and of the highest quality.
Repair
We also focus our efforts on offering the best repair needs. An HVAC unit can break down from time to time and without cooling or heating comfort, your property becomes unbearable. With our help, your unit will be back in action in no time. Our technicians have years of experience repairing a variety of HVAC systems and can easily get your unit back on track.
With every repair appointment, our technicians arrive on time and begin inspecting your unit. We diagnose the problem first and then provide an estimate for repairs. We let you know exactly what is going on with your system and get to work straight away so you are not without your unit for an extended period of time.
Maintenance
On top of our installation and repair services, we also provide maintenance servicing. An HVAC system needs to be maintained in order to stay operational as well as maintain energy efficiency. The unit needs to be reviewed from time to time, to ensure all components are operating as expected. If not, changes can be made to see the system function up to par.
Maintenance service is the best way to keep your unit running smoothly and to avoid any unwanted repairs. It is much better to have this type of service scheduled and to find a repair need instead of ignoring your unit and the system shutting down unexpectedly. It is recommended that a unit is serviced during the spring and fall seasons to prepare the system for the more extreme summer and winter months.
Duct Cleaning
Along with the traditional HVAC service options, we provide duct cleaning and sanitizing. Many home and business owners tend to neglect the duct work of their HVAC unit. This leads to air quality issues in the home. The air quality is affected by contaminants such as dirt, dust and pet dander. When such contaminants are found in the air, they can settle within the duct work of your system. As the unit is turned on and off, the particles swirl in the air and enter the home. With our duct cleaning and sanitizing process, your duct work is set, allowing your air quality to be premium, avoiding any allergy issues or other problems.
Professional Team of Experts
At Brevard Cooling and Heating, Inc., we take steps to ensure your safety and comfort when we send someone to you. Each and every one of our technicians have undergone a thorough vetting process. We perform a background check, engage in drug testing, and otherwise take steps to ensure that our employees are professional, friendly, and courteous.
On top of all this, we make sure that our employees are properly trained before we allow them to begin working on your air conditioner or furnace. We require them to obtain and maintain all the licenses, certifications, and other credentials required by law, and we work with them to ensure that they are polite, kind, and friendly to our customers.
You rely on our technicians for quality service, inviting them into your home or business. We want to ensure that each of our technicians is qualified and prepared to provide only the highest quality of service to each of our customers.
If your Merritt Island home or business needs HVAC work, call Brevard Cooling and Heating, Inc. We are here to help you, and we look forward to showing you why we have such a strong reputation for quality and friendly service. Give us a call today to learn more about our many service options or to schedule an appointment. We look forward to hearing from you and assisting in any way possible.
Satisfied Customer
I purchased a system five years ago and have had BC&H maintain annually. I got a great price with 24 mo. financing. They have provided annual maintenance on this unit and my second unit. Service is always professional and well coordinated with me. This years technician, Gary, was courteous, thorough, and provided a full summary of his service report. I highly recommend using BC&H for your air conditioning needs!

Great Customer Service
Can’t recommend this company enough. Came home to a 91 degree house on a Saturday night with four kids under 5. Brevard called me back right away and walked me through a few trouble shooting ideas. Luckily it worked and was able to get the unit up and running. Technician came out the next day just to checking on me. Full heartedly I would recommend this company!

Very Cool!
Brevard Cooling has installed all 3 systems in my house. After 10 years one system started to have problems. They diagnosed the problem promptly and gave me a quote for the repair. I decided that since this one was in the attic, I wanted it replaced, and after a discussion with the tech, they gave me a reasonable quote for the replacement. The install went perfectly and I could not be more pleased with the entire process. I would highly recommend Brevard Cooling and Heating.

A/C installation

Great Installation Crew
Yesterday Josh, Will & Charlie from Brevard Cooling installed our new 2-Ton Daikin A/C and gas furnace. What a great job! The outside unit was not easy to get to with all my shrubs & getting it situated next to our 4-Ton was not easy behind the fencing. They ran into several unforeseen problems with the way our copper tubing had previously been installed but solved it very satisfactorily. They spent the entire day working in very high tempts but still did an excellent job. I would definitely recommend this company.

THANK YOU!!!
After ac issues, I had to replace coils, valve, and compressor. After more ac issues and no cooling, Jesse detected a leak in the system under the house. THANKS TO JESSE!!!! Amazingly, Collin, Cody and Will came that very afternoon and completed the repairs. ALL technicians were professional, kind, compassionate, knowledgeable, polite, and true experts. Kudos to the owner Ben who realized the importance of making things right. I could not have gone another weekend with no ac in this 90 degree weather.
I will always recommend Brevard Cooling and in particular; Jesse, Collin, Cody, and Will. THANK YOU ALL!!!

Heat Pump Replacement
The Brevard Cooling & Heating men were very prompt & professional, from Jesse in sales/service to Kyle & Zach in installation. They held the quoted price & install schedule. They answered all my questions. Cleaned-up inside and out upon completion of the heat pump system. Their Glgoffice staff initiated the required county permit & final inspection.

Installation of two new Daikin HVAC units
Three months ago two units of HVAC units were replaced by Brevard Cooling and Heating Inc. Overall starting to completion of work was excellent/ outstanding. I got 3.5 ton Daikin units with 10 years of warranty. Eric was sales person, he is so knowledgeable and helpful.
The quality of installation, customer service, just name anything in the process, was done very professionally and total satisfaction to me and my wife. I will highly recommend Brevard Cooling and Heating for new HVAC. I like to thank them for excellent job they did for us.
Installation crew Collin, Kyle, Dc and Zack did excellent work.

SIMPLY THE BEST
EXCELLENT SERVICE!!!!
I worked with Jesse and Megan and Franco regarding an ac part that needed to be replaced. ALL of them were professional, kind, efficient, and kept me informed as to when the replacement part would arrive. I had to go 4 days without ac but as soon as the part came in, it was installed. All three employees deserve awards and a raise!
They are definitely "keepers." Kudos to Ben and John for hiring these three.
I am sincerely grateful. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Whole new system
We are enjoying our new Daikin system! We had not heard about this brand until speaking with Eric, and then some research on our part convinced us. We compared several quotes and Brevard Heating and Cooling came in the best. Their quote was completely transparent and simple to understand. On the day of installation, Derek, Will, and Cody did a fantastic job and left the workspace spotless. The unit itself runs so quietly that we can't tell when it turns on from the window right next to it. When one of the boards developed a glitch one week after installation, Will and Paul came out right away and fixed it, and the unit's been running perfectly ever since. BH&C's employees have been great... professional, helpful, and concerned. They've been a pleasure to work with, and the AC unit has been terrific. We will be recommending them.

The BEST Cooling and Heating Company
I called a lot of different companies and I’m so glad I chose Brevard and Cooling as they turned out to be the best in the market. The other companies insisted that I needed a new A/C. Brevard not only resolved the problem without needing an entire new system but saved me a lot a money in the process. They are honest, professional and reliable. I recommend them highly.

Well Done!!
I had a service call today, and Will showed up at 1PM, to check our system. He got out of the truck wearing a mask, excellent! He was thorough, explained everything he was doing, and he left us with a properly functioning unit. I am extremely pleased with Brevard Cooling and Heating, and particularly pleased with Will. I will be using them from now on for all of our AC service. Well Done!!

Brevard Cooling and Heating are the BEST!!!
I did My research and had eight estimates done. I talked to Dan at Brevard cooling and heating he took the time to explain everything and look at my unit extensively. We got a great unit at a fair price. Dan’s team did a great job doing a professional installation and left our home spotless. You can buy the best unit in the world but if it’s not installed correctly it will be worthless. These guys know what they’re doing and did an excellent job! I will continue to recommend Brevard cooling and heating to my friends and family. If you’re in a pinch and you need to hire someone who knows what they’re doing these are your guys!

Thank you Dan and Brevard Heating and Cooling
Recently needed a ac/heating unit for a rental house. Called several businesses for quotes and chose Brevard Heating and Cooling. They were not the lowest quote but, after meeting with Dan, I believed they were the best. Dan was thorough and answered all my questions. The young men who installed the unit worked diligently (it was a difficult area to place the inside unit) to complete the install. Would call this company again!

New installation of Daikin Fit system
I would like to commend you and your company for the fantastic employees that you have. I have a new Daikin system installed today and cannot ever explain how excited I am to have it. Eric worked meticulously on installing my unit and Dan helped him immensely as well as designing my system for me. They were here over nine hours getting everything set perfectly for me. They were extremely neat, professional, courteous, and I just can’t say enough good about them and Brevard cooling and heating. My old system that I had for 15 years was just very tired. When they removed it there was an immense amount of mold behind the air handler in the garage. They clean that all up for me, sprayed it , and rebuilt the unit that the handler stands on as well as the pad outside that holds the compressor. I could not believe how quiet the system is and how small it is. I could not even hear it running. I want to thank you so much for such a great team which definitely enhances the reputation of your company to have such great people working for you. I also know Tommy and Franco personally and can attest to them as well even though they were not here today. It is an amazing feeling to know that the people that are helping you know what they’re doing, you don’t have to stand over them, and you know it’s been done right. Thank you again so much and many recommendations are coming your way. Respectfully yours, Wendy Rzucidlo. If anybody wants a personal recommendation please feel free to have them call me anytime.

AC Install
Great service on the installation of our new AC unit, we are so very pleased! Brevard Cooling and Heating has always provided great service maintaining our prior unit, but it was finally time to get it replaced. Franco has been here several times for maintenance of the older unit. He is always so knowledgeable, and he was very helpful when making the decision for what type of unit would be best for our home. The installation went very well, and Anthony and Michael were so professional, and worked very hard and all day, and had everything up and running perfectly by the end of the day. Thank you all for always providing professional and great service, and in a timely manner. And big thanks to Jessica too, for handling the numerous phone calls by us, when we went back and forth about deciding whether to replace or repair or unit, we greatly appreciate your patience!!! We are very pleased with our decision, and enjoying our cool air! :-)

New Air Conditioning System Purchase and Installation
Brevard Cooling and Heating installed a new Inverter Air Conditioning system. My installation had some challenges. At one point there were 5 installers at my home. They did not give up and successfully completed the installation. The system works great. All the employees were very knowledgeable, professional and courteous. They were prompt and delivered as promised. the price was very good and Dan R. made sure to get the project underway before the rebates from the power company lapsed. l would hire them again without question.

Great job....Brevard Cooling
It is my pleasure to give credit, where credit is due.
A fine job was done by all. Installation went off, without a hitch.
Professionalism was always present.
When I did have a problem, they were right on the ball, so I did not have a hot house to live in. Next day service, and I was up and running.
The lady at the office has been so courteous. Her name is Jessica.
I am really happy that I went with Brevard Cooling and Heating.

After five days of use, my husband and I are very pleased with our new Amana air conditioner, and with the efficient and pleasant technicians who installed it. In addition to the A/C and heat pump, they installed a germicidal lamp and an air cleaner that will make our home more comfortable and healthy. Many thanks for a great job.

Thank You
Gentleman: April 23, 2014
I wanted to take the time to extend my appreciation to your people for an outstanding job. In October of last year, Chad Hollabough and his crew installed an 18 SEER Amana AC unit. Unlike other AC companies who made presentations, Chad backed up and followed through with all his statements. His crew was polite, efficient, neat and clean. They were on time, got down to business and finished in a timely matter.
Now, You may say this was expected! However, at the age of 70 I have been exposed to numerous salesman and companies. They are good at telling you what you want hear, but let there be a problem--then good luck! They dig out their fine print paperwork and show you that this situation isn't included. Not Chad! He stood behind everything he promised.
Last summer we started having problems with our old AC unit. I called numerous companies to get an estimate. After a number of AC Representatives gave us their spiel, I called FPL for some facts. After I collected all the facts, I typed up an agreement listing what I wanted and asking for a price commitment. If you want to see salesman squirm and give you more realistic prices, just try this. Chad, of all the salesman, sat down and went over all the facts. He showed me some misinformation I had and changes that improve the product. Finally, he offered a very competitive price. It was a pleasure doing business with someone who didn't play games.
One of the statements Chad made was that we should see a significant drop in our electric bill. Well, he wasn't kidding. A month before the new unit was installed, our bill was $197.00. After the unit was installed our bill dropped to $127.00 and each month after, it continued to drop. In all probabilities the savings will pay for it over the next 10 years. The humidity is lower and the house is much more comfortable. Again, thanks to Chad and his crew for an outstanding job.

Dear Sirs:
I truly appreciate the effort your company has demonstrated in keeping me cool during these hot and humid Florida days. Every technician who has appeared at my door has been exceptionally courteous and has shown great concern at the dilemma the air conditioner was having. Each young man worked diligently tracking and repairing the problem.
However, When my relatively new unit refused to cooperate with Gary, Franco and Chad. I was astounded to be informed that a new replacement unit would be installed on this date. I commend not only your technicians and their services but the company itself for standing behind their products and their dedication to satisfy customers.
Thank you for your prompt attention and great care.
Sincerely,

Brevard Cooling and Heating has been a pleasure to work with. Our technician, Franco, who came to service the unit when it was not working, is very knowledgeable and professional. He took the time to check to find all the areas that had problems. He was very helpful in determining what our best options were and even called to get prices on what it would cost to fix the old unit vs. buying a new unit.
The technicians who installed the new unit, Bryan & Daniel, were very personable, professional, and hard working. They took time to explain what they were doing when we asked questions. Also, they were very knowledgeable about the unit and explained very well how everything worked. The quality of the workmanship was far better than what was done when the house was built!
It has been our experience that Brevard Cooling and Heating has always gone the extra mile for their customers. The integrity standards of the company are excellent in the business world of today!

A/C System Replacement
From the initial call for an estimate for replacement of our old A/C system, right up to completion of the installation the Pros at Brevard Cooling & Heating have exhibited their professionalism, skills, punctuality, and dedication to excellence and customer satisfaction. Eric arrived promptly as scheduled for the consultation and reviewed installation options and equipment recommendations and thoroughly answering all of our questions. A few days later Wes, Dan, and Mikey arrived as scheduled and immediately went to work removing the old system. They then began the more difficult task of installing the new system that was somewhat complicated by my request to relocate the outside unit to a new location from the old unit to avoid proximity to the clothes dryer vent. They made the entire installation process seem almost routine and by early afternoon the job was complete including cleanup and haul away. All the guys were very polite and happy to explain any questions as the job progressed.
We look forward to a reliable efficient system as the warmer weather nears. It was a complete pleasure working with Brevard Cooling & Heating and will recommend them to everyone.

Brevard Cooling and Heating was well represented by their entire team. From Eric who presented the system in a clear and concise manner to the dedicated crew of Alex Gonzales, Mike, and Daniel who worked diligently, hard and long to get my 3.5 ton Amana system installed. I can already tell improvements in the house from the water this system wrings out that the old system did not. My thermostat setting has gone for 69 degrees to 75 degrees and I have a happy wife who loves the temperature to be cold..
With no hesitation I would recommend Brevard Heating and Cooling and especially this dedicated team of professionals who want the system done right and are proud of the work they do.

From the beginning to the end of service, Brevard Cooling and Heating, Inc. displayed honest, professional work. Franco rearranged his schedule in order to examine our broken system. The price quoted was the price received at the end of sale for their excellent installation service. We were very pleased with the system and the proper installation. They even had to rebuild a wall after taking out an old defunct box stand! Franco and the installation team took their time to explain all the integral parts to the system after installation and they cleaned up every particle before leaving. Although Brevard Cooling and Heating came in as the most inexpensive of the quotes received their work is the best!

Great Job... Honest...
Showed up as scheduled, removed and replaced one unit per day. There were a few punch list items I noticed but before I could check it all out they called and said that one of the units was 16 seer and I paid for 18 and as soon as the correct unit came in they would schedule the replacement. At this time I indicated there were 3 or 4 items, cosmetic, that they needed to address. A few days late they scheduled the install and Chad came this time and all of my concerns were taken care of. They are professional, neat, and did a great job. It has only been a couple of weeks all is working well. I got a check from Brevard, the paperwork on the correct unit gave me and a FPL credit of $155 more than they calculated so they sent it to me. ie, Honest.

Woke up to a HOT house....
Woke up to a hot house and being new to the area wasn't sure who to call. Happened to have the Safari flyer and there were 3 air conditioning repair companies advertised. Checked out their websites and was drawn to Brevard Cooling & Heating. Called at 9:40am and was told they had availability at 1-pm. Explained over the phone what the possible charges could be if I needed refrigerant. As the morning went on and the house got hotter, I was praying for the afternoon. How excited I was when a call came at 12:04 that they were on their way. By 12:45, the a/c was cooling with only a service charge. Technician was very friendly and professional. Highly recommend this company.
