Who we are

Brewer Heating & Air Conditioning is a family-owned HVAC contractor based in Grass Valley, California. The business was founded in 1980 by a U.S. military veteran whose standard was simple: do it once, do it right. Forty-five years later that standard still drives every service call.

Every technician on staff holds active NATE certification — North American Technician Excellence, the industry’s most rigorous credential for HVAC professionals. NATE certification requires passing written exams on the physics, safety, and diagnostic skills specific to HVAC work, and technicians must recertify regularly. We require it because our customers deserve someone who actually knows the equipment, not just how to swap parts.

We are a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, which means Carrier has reviewed our installation standards, customer satisfaction history, and technician training and formally authorized us to sell, install, and service Carrier equipment — including honoring Carrier factory warranties. That authorization is reviewed annually and is not automatic.

We service every major brand, not just systems we install. About half of the repair calls we run are on equipment other companies put in. Our California Contractors License is #608848, issued by the Contractors State License Board.
