Are you too cold in the winter or too hot in the summer? We can make your home's temperature more consistent with our ductwork. We provide premier ductwork services wherever the problem lies.

If your home has poor temperature control, hot or cold spots, or high expenses for heating and cooling, then your ductwork likely needs to be cleaned, repaired, or sealed.

Ducts are challenging to get to and hard to keep in excellent condition without professional support. We go above and beyond to meet your expectations.

If you’re like most Americans, you probably own a furnace that heats your home. Other popular heating system choices include boilers and heat pumps. But all heating systems work on the same principle—cold air or water comes into the system, is warmed up by the fuel source, and then is forced out through a complicated maze of ductwork or pipes. Your heating system involves a lot of moving parts, and when one part breaks, many more can fail.

If you hear rattling in your furnace or your heat pump is wheezing, reach out to MacBrothers Mechanical. Our technicians have repaired and maintained furnaces, boilers, heat pumps, and more. We don't believe in providing surface-level repairs. Instead, we conduct comprehensive, top-to-bottom repairs that dive deep into your heating system's root problem. Contact us today!

Your home or business’s air conditioning system uses three steps to keep temperatures down. The first step is to take in warm air from the outside. Then, your air conditioning unit will compress that air and blow it across a cooling coil full of refrigerant. This transforms the warm air into a cool, refreshing breeze. Lastly, your air will be distributed throughout the house, either through ductwork or a vent on your A/C unit.

The inside of an air conditioning unit can be a maze. Instead of trying to tackle the complicated job of AC repairs yourself, let us take over. We have the expertise needed to repair all cooling systems of all brands. Whether your thermostat has broken down or your A/C unit needs new parts, we can help.

The size of an air conditioner should reflect the size of your home. An HVAC unit that's too big for your home won't run enough, and you'll probably end up with poor humidity control and temperatures. On the other hand, a unit that's too small will have trouble keeping your home at the proper temperature. It will also overwork itself trying to reach the proper temperature, which means your energy bills will be higher.

The best way to find out what HVAC unit works for you is to reach out to an HVAC contractor. First, we'll have to inspect every inch of your home: the windows, orientation, insulation R-values, duct leakage, and more. Then we can calculate your home's size, climate, shape, and direction with an equation called the Manual J load calculation. We'll use the results to best recommend an HVAC unit that meets the heating and cooling loads for your home.

Your ductwork is the key to your HVAC system's proper functioning. If your ducts are too small, too long, or have obstructions in them, then your HVAC unit won't move as much air as it should. We're available to inspect your ductwork. If it turns out you need your ductwork cleaned out, we can help there too.

There are dozens and dozens of HVAC units available out there, and they all have their unique pros and cons. If you'd like to learn more about what product might work for you, give us a call.

A split air conditioner is one of the most common HVAC units. It's called a 'split' air conditioner because it has two halves: one that sits outside your home and one inside. The two halves communicate via coolant lines to keep your home cool.

A packaged system is installed outside. These HVAC systems are usually less expensive and take up less space.

A variable-speed furnace helps you see better heating and cooling efficiency. These furnaces run for extended periods but at slower speeds. This helps reduce wasted energy from constantly starting and stopping.

A heat pump is an HVAC unit that serves as both an air conditioner and a heater. We only recommend heat pumps for climates that see mild winters. Heat pumps are also more energy-efficient than furnaces, so they are a cost-effective option.

A thermostat is just as important as an HVAC unit, and it can even save you money on your energy bills. Many modern thermostats can be programmed to set a schedule for heating and cooling, which prevents energy waste. They can also report on your energy usage and help you manage your HVAC unit remotely. We offer the Nest thermostat along with other thermostat options. Reach out to us to find out if your HVAC unit can work with a programmable thermostat.

Buying all your HVAC equipment at the same time is not necessary, but it can be helpful. If you're buying multiple different HVAC products, make sure that they work together. A system of mismatched parts won't work together well and can lead to energy efficiency problems. It's often best to purchase your HVAC products from one manufacturer instead of several.

Every HVAC system is different, and the timeline for installation is different. We understand that if you bought a replacement unit, you probably want the new system up and running as soon as possible. However, the many moving parts involved in HVAC installation can slow the process down. Installation can easily take more than a day. If the system is large or requires significant ductwork updates, then your installation could take several days. Certain HVAC units can take longer to install and impact your costs, so please consider this when purchasing.

During the summer, HVAC contractors are busy working on air conditioner installs and repairs. Vice versa, they're often busy in the winter with furnace/heat pump installs and repairs. That means the best time to buy a new system is immediately after summer or between busy seasons. You may see significant savings!
