One technician came. I was on crutches, so he had to make his way around the house and the components without me being near him. He was polite and well mannered. He was professional and took the time to answer my "new homeowner" questions. He made sure to always wear booties int house. I would hire them again.
Description of Work: Brennan's came over to do a maintenance check on our our two cooling units. I was so pleased with the service that I signed up for a contract for them to come back in the fall to look over the heating components.

Brennan's called prior to arrival, and their technician Gary arrived on time and was very professional and courteous. He explained everything he did and why he was doing it. His troubleshooting was spot on, and logical. He took the time necessary to do the job right. He showed me where the issues were and made recommendations on how to address them. I bought the annual service for both zones on a 5,200 sq ft home for ~$300. They also had to add 2# of refrigerant due to a leak at the A-coil to keep the house cool while they ordered the replacement part (covered under warranty). All in all, a very good experience and I would definitely recommend Brennan's as a professional, honest, and competent service provider.

They scheduled me for a 4 hour window, which isn't ideal, but I understand need some flexibilty. The serviceman arrived within the scheduled time. He was courteous and explained what he was going to do. He looked at the system inside and outside of our place - he had to walk outside to locate the outside parts because we live in a condo and I had no idea where it was located. He replaced our filter and made a recommendation about the type of filter that we should use. It didnt take long. He presented us with a bill at the end of the service and explained what he had found. All-in-all very good communication and courteous.
Description of Work: They inspected our HVAC system to confirm whether it needed any repairs or the ducts needed to be cleaned.

Mike Brennan came out to look at our existing system and prepare an estimate. He was very professional in explaining the various options. We decided to go with the Infinity 17 series system with two-stage cooling operation. The new system was installed in one afternoon along with modifications to the incoming duct work to incorporate a more modern filter. The work was done very neatly so the system looks a lot better than the original one. We are very pleased with the two-stage operation which allows the system to run more continuously at a lower level and helps keep cool air flowing through the house. When operating at the lower level, the compressor is so quiet that we can' t tell if it is running unless we are standing right next to it.

I contacted Brennan's and two other Angie's list companies for quotes on removing my existing boiler, heating system, air conditioning system, and humidifier and installing a new air conditioner, heating, humidifier and hot water heater. After receiving all three quotes, I made the decision to go with Brennan's because they offered the lowest price. When Mike Brennan came out to do the estimate he took the time to do a thorough inspection of the existing system which included extra piping and a boiler. He explained all the options for the equipment, the reasons for his recommendations, as well as optimal placement of the new equipment in the space. On the day of the install a supervisor and two installers arrived on time. The supervisor spoke with me and the installers to ensure we were all clear on what was going to be done. The installers, Darryl and Ed, worked quickly to remove the old systems and install the new ones. I was concerned that the removal of the old boiler and the re-configuration of the piping would be an issue but they handled it with no problem. They took extra time to make the new piping on the exterior of the house look as good as possible and even cleaned up and repaired damage done by the installer of the old system. They showed me how each piece of equipment worked, gave me instructions for routine maintenance tasks I should perform to keep the systems operating optimally, and suggested good sources for filters. They worked so quietly and did such a good job of cleaning up you could hardly tell they were there. I was very pleased with the entire process from the pleasant, helpful person who scheduled the estimate to the completion of the project in just one day. It's been about six weeks since the install and everything is working perfectly.

Patrick was professional, timely and courteous. They charged about $100 for the diagnoses and that was reasonable. He stayed about 45 Minutes. But the home office wanted to charge an additional $425 for the repair. Purchased parts for $105 and took me 1.5 hours with part pick up. I thought $250-$300 would have been reasonable for the repair and diagnoses. I would use them again based on Patricks' knowledge.

Company scheduled appointment 9:00 t0 11:00. Called at approximtely 9:30 to say Gari is on his way. Gari arrived shortly thereafter. Inspected AC inside and out . Checked filters, and recommended a disposable replacement for aging "permanent" filters (note: Brennan's does not selll the disposable filters.) Advised that a capicatator on the outside compressor unit was not yet failing but was on the way out. Did not pressure to replace but made the reasonable suggestion that we might want to replace it now rather than on a hot day when the unit fails to cool adequately because it has failed. Cost: inspection $160.00 includes Fall and Spring inspections; $228.00 for parts and service on the capacitator.
Description of Work: 1. Semi annual service. 2. Replaced capacitator on air conditioner. 3. Advised on a change in filters.

The technician who handled the job, Bill Moore, did a thoroughly outstanding job. The heater, which had been repaired by another company just four months earlier, had to be repaired again. The cause of the new problem was found to be a blown fuse on the circuit board which had been replaced by the other company the previous December. The heater is now working much more efficiently than it had been the last few months. It was also determined that the air conditioner was inoperative because of faulty wiring and that problem was also corrected on the spot. The technician then thoroughly checked the outside A/C system. It was in working order but was drawing about twice the amperage that it should have. Since the A/C system is over 30 years old it was decided to replace that system rather than chance the possibility of a breakdown during the hot weather. The new system was installed on 05/06/2013.

They are fantastic! Their service is superb. I have been using them for the last four years because of Angie's List. I had three estimates, and their service was by far the most efficient. The guy went over every stuff of what he wanted to do, and he explained why he wanted to do it with me. HE was not pushy at all. He actually did some research. He did not give me an estimate on the spot. He went back and checked all the couple of different system. He gave me a couple of different prices. I really appreciate his customer service, and his thoroughness.

I hired Brennan's to fix my air conditioner, which simply needed more freon. They came out and stuck a screw driver in my air conditioner and blew the circuit. It caused my lights and microwave to go out. My lights and microwave haven’t been the same since and I was forced to buy a brand new air conditioner. They really did a job on my home. I feel like I have been taken advantage of. I contacted the office manager and she denied that their company was responsible for any of the damage.

Response from Brennan's Heating & Air Conditioning Inc
In June of 2011 the customer called our company and requested service at her home to add freon to her air conditioner which was not cooling. Upon arrival our technician found that the air conditioner was tripping the breaker, but the freon level was adequate. Our technician believed that the compressor in the outside unit was going bad and this was causing the breaker to trip inside the home. He recommended that the air conditioner and coil be replaced due to the age and condition of the unit. Our service technician did not stick a screwdriver in the air conditioner; he used the screw driver to remove the screws holding the door panel. Once the panel was removed he found that the high voltage wiring insulation was rotted, exposing bare electrical wiring. The popping sound heard by the customer was the rotting wires shorting up against the inside of the cabinet as the technician was trying to diagnose the problems with the unit. This is a very dangerous situation and our technician could have been electrocuted by the exposed wires. . When we spoke with the customer the next day she accused our technician of purposely breaking her air conditioner and causing the lights to blink in her home. I tried to explain that the popping of the breaker for the air conditioner could not have anything to do with what was happening to her lights. The air conditioner runs on 240 volts of electricity while household lights and appliances run on 110 volts. The air conditioner is on a completely different circuit from all of the other electricity and even has its own circuit breaker. After a very long telephone conversation she agreed to move forward with the installation of the new air conditioner. Two of our technicians arrived to install the new air equipment and our installation manager decided to go to the home to check out the situation. Our install manager examined the equipment, the electrical panel, breakers in the home and the outside electrical box. He determined that there was a pre-existing problem at the electrical meter which was not allowing the proper voltage to enter the home. This required a call to Virginia Power to see if they could come out and determined the problem with their meter. They arrived while our technicians were still at the home. While we do not know the exact nature of the problem found by Virginia Power, we do know that they replaced part of the outside meter to the home.

We've had an excellent experience with Brennan's. They are very professional, helpful, the technicians are personable. We had them install an entirely new heating and AC unit last fall. That was expensive, but to be expected and Brennan's prices were very competitive. Yesterday, a technician came out for the routine seasonal maintenance. We couldn't be happier.

The workmen arrived at the agreed upon time. They laid a protective tarp on the carpet where they would be walking in and out to bring in the equipment. They performed in a very workman like manner and cleaned up afterwards so that one would never know they were there save for the new system! The installation took about 6 hours. When the work was complete, we walked through the new system, they answered all of my questions. I am very pleased with the new system and the installation.
Description of Work: Based on the age of my system and the estimated cost to perform winter maintenance, I decided to get several bids on a replacement system. Each of the companies performed a similar inspection of my existing system and duct work and I felt they were all competent to do the job. Each of the estimates gave me a thorough review, walked through my existing system with me and answered all of my questions. I decided to go with Brennan's based on overall value and high ratings on Angie's List. Two of the price quotes I received were very competitive and the decision was very close. Brennan's also arranged to have my ducts cleaned through Atlantic Duct Cleaning at the same price as indicated here on Angie's List The cost was included in this job but I plan to write a separate review since it was a different company.

After hours on a rainy Friday night and my tenant called and said that the furnace was not keeping heat on and that they were starting to get cold. Her husband was out of the country on business and she was at home with her baby. I needed someone to get there quickly. I tried calling several people who were nearby (Vienna area) but either there was no response or they needed a presigned contract before doing anything to help. I noticed that Brennan's was rated highly by Angie's List but they were located in Woodbridge; I gave them a call anyway and surprisingly wonderful Bill Moore actually called me fairly quickly. I think he was ready to go home himself that night but when I told him about the lady and the baby, he came to the rescue. He had to drive up 95 and kept me informed about when he would arrive and actually arrived an hour before he thought he would. Bill took over and got some heat going for the little family even though the furnace was about dead. We arranged for new unit to be installed on Monday the 25th and he worked to the best of his ability to make sure the heat carried through until Monday. It did. They showed up as planned and the new unit is working beautifully. I so appreciate that Bill went out of his way that night to help even though it was a miserable night to be out. My tenant was quite relieved as well. And we will call Brennan's again!

They were courteous and professional. They were on time and they did a full check. It was 40 percent off on furnace and maintenance inspection. I also used a 10 percent off on repairs.
Description of Work: I used Brennan's Heating & Air Conditioning for a check up on the furnace. They also helped to fix a leak in the drain pipe of the air conditioner. They were able to fix the leak situation without it getting out of hand too much. They were quick to diagnosis it and get it fixed.
