We are a locally owned and operated HVAC company based in Fort Wayne, Indiana, serving all of Allen County with ambitions to expand. We noticed a growing trend of large corporate HVAC firms taking over the space that once was filled by smaller, locally owned companies. Witnessing this, we felt compelled to start our own HVAC company to reinstate the essence of local, personalized, and affordable service. We believe that HVAC service should not just be a transaction, it should be a relationship. Instead of upcharging and taking advantage of customers, our goal is to provide a cost-effective and personal experience. We care about our community and strive to keep your home comfortable at a fair price. Leveraging our extensive experience in trades and HVAC, we guarantee the same level of quality as the large corporations. But unlike them, we are proud to employ local technicians and staff. Living and working in Fort Wayne, we take pride in supporting our local economy. Our manager, brings a wealth of industry experience to our team, having held numerous roles ranging from warehouse manager to operations manager, even general manager at several of the larger corporate firms. Our dedicated team of installers and service technicians are thrilled to be part of our mission. They're eager to build the company they've always wished existed. Our administrative staff, too, is all locally sourced, not outsourced overseas. While we are a small team now, we are committed to growth. We are actively hiring and working with local trade schools to foster career development for our youth and demonstrate that Fort Wayne is a vibrant place to launch a successful career. We hope you will choose our local, employee-owned, reliable, and trustworthy team for your next HVAC service or system installation. Thank you for considering us, and we look forward to serving you.

"As always very professional. Devon was great. Made sure all my questions were answered and made sure any concerns were addressed. Since the very first time we called PG we have never had an issue. Friendly and so professional. Highly recommend. I highly recommend their maintenance program for $15 a month."

Quality, availability, and service are the backbone of this company. We can handle all your construction needs from basement remodeling, additions, new home builds, bathroom remodels to kitchen overhauls. We handle a variety of small jobs as well. Check us out on Facebook or at our website and Brawnybuilders.com see how we might be able to help you.

"Homeowner here... I can't properly explain how absolutely thrilled we are with the work that Bronson and the Brawny Builders have done with our lake cottage. Last summer, we started with a plan to simply paint the exterior. But the project slowly unfolded into something much larger. Bronson is not just a general contractor - he became a close and trusted partner throughout the entire project. He is full of creative and thoughtful ideas that enhanced the project at every step. He provided us with constant and detailed communication. His team worked with us to make sure that every detail was right. Here are a couple of examples where Bronson was able to improve the design or save cost: ** We did not want to expand the footprint of the house and add that cost, but we could not figure out how to layout everything we wanted. Bronson cleverly reused an old set of concrete stairs as the foundation for a washer/dryer stack. It was a great solution that worked out fantastic. ** We had wanted to add a half bath for years, but Bronson figured out a way to add a FULL bath. In addition, the new bathroom was connected (jack and jill style) to the main bedroom to create a master suite. It only cost one additional door, but it is now WAY beyond what we imagined. ** We originally wanted to build a deck on the front of the house, but Bronson helped to create a design for a covered porch with vaulted ceilings and a clever lower surround that blended with the lake environment. ** We found a number of structural issues with the old house during demolition. Bronson developed very clever and cost-effective ways to resolve floor, wall and joist issues. ** During each phase of the construction, Bronson developed thoughtful and clever touches. The lofted garage included an old second floor door for ventilation, and Bronson designed a design the new door that retained some of the prior feeling with a new and fresh update. ** We wanted to retain some of the historical feel to the interior, and Bronson cleverly retained some of the original paneling without feeling overwhelming. He framed the wall to make it a focal point without looking old. It is one of my favorite parts of the house. The lake cottage has been in our extended family for almost 50 years. It has been a great retreat for us, but it is now a proper home with personality and functionality to match. This project has literally transformed the house. We would highly recommend Bronson and Brawny Builders for any remodeling project. We were lucky to find them."

Central a/c installations FAQs

If you’re replacing an old AC system with a new unit, you can usually clean and repair the old ductwork without having to conduct a full replacement. Cleaning HVAC ducts typically costs around $400, while repairs range from $200 to $1,000. In contrast, installing new ductwork can range from $1,000 to $5,000, making it far more costly than cleaning or fixing existing ducts. HVAC installation costs an average of $7,000 to replace a full system, so staying on top of maintenance and repairs is important.

AC cost efficiency depends on the size of your space and your long-term plans for your home. If you only need to cool a small area, a portable AC unit has a low upfront cost. Heat pumps are typically the most cost-effective option if you want to cool an entire home or improve the resale value. They provide strong cooling while being energy-efficient, which saves you money on your utility bills compared to most other AC types.

Installing a central AC unit typically takes four to eight hours if your home already has ductwork in place. However, if new ductwork needs to be installed, this can add another one to two days of labor to your project.
