Meet David Brown, Founder of ConsultAir

My name is David, and I bring four decades of hands-on field experience in the heating and air conditioning industry to every project. While I’ve worn many hats throughout my career, residential HVAC design has always been my true passion. In 2011, I founded ConsultAir to focus on it exclusively — and the past decade and a half has meant staying current through every code cycle and software generation since.
Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of partnering with hundreds of homeowners, homebuilders, HVAC contractors, and architects across the country — delivering code-compliant designs that ensure optimal comfort, energy efficiency, and long-term performance.
How it all started:
Following in my Father’s footsteps, I began my journey into the HVAC industry back in 1986 by attending a heating, air conditioning & refrigeration vocational school at night while still attending high school during the day. Fresh out of high school I accepted my first position as a residential HVAC duct installer.
Since then, I’ve held positions such as; Commercial Test and Air Balance Technician, HVAC Territory Manager, HVAC New Construction Project Manager, Service Manager and General Manager. Later in my career I worked as a Purchasing Agent for 2 of the largest national home builders; Pulte Homes and KB Home. I’ve also held state HVAC contractor’s licenses in Florida, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina and was a Certified Building Energy Rater in the state of Florida.
