Heat Pumps Increase Your Energy Efficiency

Unlike traditional furnaces, heat pumps produce warmth using the same principles employed in refrigerators and air conditioning units. These systems are typically more energy-efficient and also reduce pollutants released into the outside air. Heat pumps are capable of producing heat in winter and cooling the air during the summer months. At W.E. Brown, we can upgrade your current system with a new heat pump, or service your existing one, regardless of its make and model.

Upgrade Your Comfort.

We can help you to set up a centralized HVAC control system or programmable thermostat for a greater degree of flexibility in managing heating requirements in various rooms and zones of your home. 

These accessories help you to reduce energy waste throughout the year, which results in savings of both energy and money. 


We’ll also help you enhance the indoor air quality with air filtration and air purifiers as well as humidifiers and dehumidifiers.
