Services
Heating Repair
Our certified technicians provide comprehensive furnace repairs for residential and commercial properties. We diagnose issues with pilot lights, thermostats, and heating elements while offering same-day emergency service during extreme cold. Using manufacturer-certified parts ensures lasting repairs that restore system efficiency and safety. Regular maintenance prevents unexpected breakdowns during Manitoba's harsh winters.
Heat Pumps
We install and service cold-climate heat pumps that operate efficiently at -25C. Our hybrid systems combine electric heat pumps with gas furnaces for year-round comfort. Technicians optimize system performance through proper sizing calculations based on building insulation and square footage requirements.
Ductless HVAC
Our ductless mini-split installations provide zoned temperature control without extensive renovations. Technicians complete most residential installations within one day using inverter technology that reduces energy consumption by up to 30%. Ideal for older homes and room additions where traditional ductwork isn't feasible.
Plumbing Repair
Available 24/7 for burst pipes, frozen lines, and water heater failures. Our technicians handle commercial plumbing emergencies with minimal business disruption. We use advanced leak detection equipment to locate hidden pipe issues without unnecessary wall demolition.
Indoor Air Quality
We install HEPA air purifiers, steam humidifiers, and heat recovery ventilators to improve respiratory health. Our vanEE HRV systems exchange stale indoor air with filtered outdoor air while retaining heat energy. Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance of filtration and humidity control systems.

Report
So the septic tank pump quit inconveniently at 530pm on a Saturday. Called Browns and was quickly connected with after hours service and Marvin was on-site shortly after. Marvin asked questions and described a number of possible problems and solutions. The issue was quickly diagnosed and remedied with a new pump that he had in the van. By 9pm the kids could flush again! Signed up for Browns MVP service and already have heating and plumbing inspections planned for a few weeks from now. Have used Browns in the past and will be happy to use them again and recommend them to anyone.

We had issues with our water pump so suddenly had no water. Brown's was responsive and fit us in as soon as possible to assess the issue. They were able to come the following day for repairs. Their service techs were professional, knowledgeable and friendly. We got excellent service and felt the bill was fair. We will use them again. Highly recommend.

Ryan did a fantastic job of looking at all the issues I wanted to discuss and not only showed me the problems, he showed how to prevent them in the future. We bought this place (a 40 yo house) last year, so we don't know the history for the plumbing and sewage. With Ryan's help we now have a much better understanding of how it works and how to keep it working in the future. Highly recommended for anyone needing plumbing help.

We signed up for Browns VIP program about a year ago. You never quite know what youre getting with a plan like this, usually its a rip off. For $28/month, this is a great value!! Yesterday Rob (from Browns) came to do our fall maintenance check. He was here for a good hour and did a thorough check of furnace, all plumbing, water softener etc etc. He was very patient and answered any questions I had. This was the same experience we had in spring with Dylan who did our spring maintenance check. Browns has good, honest employees and you feel like they genuinely care about providing
