About Us

I knew I needed new ductwork and that I would need to buy a new unit in the next few years. To avoid getting swindled, I decided to get unbiased information from a consultant who would not be selling me equipment. David Brown and ConsultAir came highly recommended and I have not been disappointed. David created Manual J, S and D reports and a duct system layout, with quick replies that include thorough and easy-to-understand answers. As I gathered my first quotes from HVAC contractors, I got pushback on using a consultant’s drawings – some refused, others offered elaborate sales routines and scare tactics to persuade me to use their own drawings and equipment instead. I contacted David with questions about what I was experiencing, and he confirmed my suspicions about one contractor and offered additional guidance so I felt fully armed going into additional quotes.

If you are thinking of doing any kind of heating or cooling in your home don’t take a chance by trusting the local HVAC person. They have one agenda… To sell you an overpriced system and get the job done as quickly as possible. I learned this because I had 5 different bids and 5 different sized systems from each installer. How could this be I wondered? Well…it turns out that there is a real, systemic, and calculated way of finding out how big of a system you need for your home. There are manuals and load calculations that can be done to properly size your system. After much searching on Google I stumbled upon David Brown and ConsultAir. He was the person I was searching for. He did all the load calculations, the calculations for the ductwork and even offered some very helpful tips along the way. David should be your first call when looking to install a system. I cannot recommend him highly enough. Thanks David!!!

So, I'll start by saying I almost never write reviews. I know I know... it's a good, neighborly thing to do but for whatever reason, I don't ever seem to get around to it. That said, with respect to David and ConsultAir, it's more than warranted. Plainly put, if I could somehow magically reach out to anyone dealing with HVAC issues, I'd tell them this... he is one of the nicest, most helpful, most KNOWLEDGEABLE people I've ever met. And, at this point, the thought of installing or overhauling any HVAC system without his input seems ridiculous to me. My wife and I contacted David after (and here comes the all-too-common contractor story) our HVAC contractor installed a system in our house that was more than twice as big as it should have been. Three units powering different zones of the house, all oversized, that led to freezing up and leaking into our ceilings, jet-like air delivery from the vents, wildly varying hot/cold spots, etc. At David's direction, we took detailed measurements and gave him an overview of what we needed. From minute one, he took an academic approach to our needs the original contractor SHOULD have... calculating the proper loads room by room, studying the layout/functionality of our existing system, and ultimately, reconfiguring/designing a system that worked efficiently. That last point is the most important... for having gone through a full remodel of our house, we've learned that designing a NEW system that works well (any type... HVAC, plumbing, etc.) is hard enough. Reconfiguring an EXISTING system to maximize its potential with the lowest additional cost... that's truly a step above. Because you're working with something that, oftentimes, is less-than-perfect to begin with. And, in our case... far from it. So, to wrap up what, at this point, has become a novel... we can't recommend David and ConsultAir highly enough. He saw us through a difficult situation in a way we've rarely encountered elsewhere, and if you're considering any sort of HVAC install... TALK TO HIM FIRST. You won't regret it.
