While we prefer installing Lennox units due to their reliability and unmatched customer service, our team is experienced in installing any unit.
Lennox systems are known for their efficiency and ultra-quiet technology. When you book an appointment, our technicians will be happy to answer any questions you have and give the best suggestion to suit your needs.
We offer comprehensive AC, boiler, furnace, heat pump, and ductwork repair services throughout Chesterfield, Midlothian, Richmond, and surrounding areas. After performing several tests on your unit and a visual inspection, our repair technicians will provide a quote before making any repairs, so you won’t have any surprise costs.
Throughout the years, your system can develop a range of issues simply due to wear and tear. Some of the most common issues we notice include:
All these issues can cause your unit to be inefficient, which results in higher energy bills. If caught early, many repairs minimize the risk of more costly ones from escalating and increase the lifespan of your system.
We take a customer-centric approach, meaning we only suggest repairs that are absolutely necessary, while keeping you informed of the best options. Our technicians arrive promptly at the appointment time best suited to your schedule. After inspecting your unit, we will educate you about the repairs that are highly recommended for optimal performance and those that are elective but not critical for current operation.
If it is best to replace the unit, our comfort advisors will be happy to walk you through our installation process specific to your home. When reviewing your options, the last thing you’ll want is a pushy salesperson trying to upsell you on a new unit. You can expect complete and honest feedback from our professionals. We only recommend full unit replacements if we see that the old unit is at the end of its life or we have exhausted all other options.
Sometimes, heating and air conditioning repairs aren’t always obvious. If you notice unusual sounds or smells, climbing energy bills, high humidity, inconsistent cooling, or water leaks surrounding the unit, it’s best to call one of our professionals. A heating or cooling problem might not seem like a big issue at first, but it can wreak havoc on your unit and pose a health hazard to your family.
We prioritize your health and comfort, which is why we suggest having a professional inspect your unit as opposed to a DIY fix. Utilizing extensive tests, such as combustion analysis, refrigerant level checks, leak detection, systemic airflow checks, and static pressure measurements, we can provide an accurate diagnosis of the issue at hand and fix it promptly.
At Bradley Mechanical, we treat heating and air conditioner maintenance like going to the doctor’s office for a check-up. Just like your health, it’s important to check up on your HVAC system’s health.
Unlike other heating and cooling companies, we don’t just conduct a visual inspection of the system, tighten electrical connections, and check refrigerant pressures. We take a comprehensive approach:
Our ESA Pro Maintenance Program can save you money on regular tune-ups, including 15% off all parts and labor repairs. Check out our ESA (Energy Savings Agreement) Pro Maintenance Program for further details on how you can save on top-tier service.
Many homeowners don’t think twice about taking their car in for maintenance, but when it comes to their air conditioners or heat pumps, they tend to let them fall to the wayside. Our heating and air conditioning systems play a huge role in our comfort, air quality, and overall well-being at home. Regular maintenance can extend your unit's lifespan, efficiency, and save you from costly issues later.
Your air conditioning unit consumes the most energy in your home out of any other appliance. EnergyStar.Gov estimates that proper maintenance can lower energy bills 20-30%. This is because issues like dirty air filters, airflow obstructions, or low refrigerant levels can lead to increased energy consumption.
While skipping air conditioning or heating maintenance may not seem like a big issue at first, neglect can soon snowball into a host of problems. If not caught early enough, some problems can be terminal or detrimental to your unit.
Something as simple as failing to change your air filter regularly can reduce airflow, causing the blower fan to run longer and harder to distribute the same amount of air. This increases overall energy consumption and directly impacts your energy bills. Over time, excess strain on your unit can lead to a decrease in system efficiency and potentially shorten its lifespan.
At Bradley Mechanical, we make maintenance easy. Whether it’s your air conditioning unit, boiler, furnace, or heat pump, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that your unit is working efficiently and without any pending issues. Contact our professionals for an HVAC system tune-up today.

Many heating and cooling issues that homeowners run into might not actually stem from the unit itself, but rather, the ductwork and ventilation. At Bradley Mechanical, we take a whole-home approach to heating and cooling services, meaning we don’t just look at performing unit inspections or installations. We also analyze and perform ductwork, including duct cleaning, duct sealing, home performance testing, and custom duct fabrication.
Staying comfortable in your home isn’t only dependent on how hot or cold your home is. It also depends on proper air distribution and air quality. Our certified technicians will ensure that your ductwork is professionally installed, sealed, and cleared of debris so that your family can stay healthy and comfortable year-round.
Ventilation goes beyond simply distributing air around the home. It also creates a healthier, more comfortable living environment. Proper ventilation can help remove humidity from the air, as well as dust, allergens, fumes from household chemicals, and smoke. It also draws in fresh air from outside while pushing out the stale indoor air.
Proper air circulation keeps you and your family healthy by reducing the likelihood of developing allergies or colds from pollutants inside the home. Homeowners also may sleep better at night since fresh, balanced air can reduce nasal congestion. Not to mention, gaining reassurance that your air is safe, healthy, and controlled can reduce the overall anxiety that comes with being a homeowner.
Consistent circulation is also excellent for your home environment. Proper ventilation promotes moisture control, preventing mold or mildew growth. Eventually, it can save you from expensive home repairs due to damaged walls or wood rot.
Stale house smells, such as pet odors, cooking scents, or chemical fumes, won’t linger for as long, making your home an ideal environment for guests to come over.
Proper ventilation reduces stress on your unit as well, promoting efficiency and keeping utility bills low. Make sure that your ductwork is at its optimal and book an appointment with one of our technicians today.
