112° outside in a Mesa July. You shouldn't feel it. That's the whole job.

What Brad fixes
Residential A/C, heat, and swamp coolers.
All makes and models — Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Lennox, Goettl, York, Amana, Bryant, Mastercool and the rest. Diagnosed straight, priced straight.
A/C Repair
No cool, warm air, ice on the lines, unit that won't kick on — diagnosed the day you call, most repairs finished on the same visit.
All makes & models
Motors, Caps & Refrigerant
Capacitors, contactors, blower and condenser motors, low refrigerant. The parts that actually fail on Arizona units, carried on the truck.
Common same-day fix
Heater & Furnace Repair
Gas furnace, electric heat, and heat pump repair for the handful of Mesa mornings that actually need it. Safety checked before it's signed off.
Gas & electric
Second Opinions
Told you need a new compressor or a whole new system? Compressors get misdiagnosed constantly. Brad will look before you spend thousands.

Swamp Cooler Service
Spring start-ups and fall shut-downs, pads, pumps, float valves, belts and leaks — on Mastercool and every other evaporative unit.
Spring & fall
A/C Tune-Ups
The pre-summer check that catches the failing capacitor in April instead of the 115° Saturday in July. Book it before the heat lands.
Before the heat
Heater Safety Check
Fall inspection on gas and electric heat — burners, ignition, heat exchanger, and airflow, so the first cold night isn't a surprise.
Fall check
Thermostats & Airflow
Thermostat swaps, filter guidance, weak airflow and rooms that never cool down. Small visits Brad still shows up for.

How it works
One call, one guy, one honest number.
You'll always know who's coming, when he'll arrive, and what it costs — in that order.
1
Call Brad direct
No call center, no hold music. The owner picks up, asks what the unit's doing, and tells you honestly when he can be there.

He calls ahead
Twenty to thirty minutes out, your phone rings. You're not burning a whole day waiting on a four-hour window.

Straight diagnosis
He shows you what failed, gives you the options — including the cheap one — and the price before he starts. No commission, no pressure.
Owner-operated since 2008
Before you spend thousands, get a second opinion. Compressor and full-system replacements are the most misdiagnosed calls in this trade. Bring Brad the quote.
Brad trained at RSI's Electro-Mechanical Technologies program — graduated top of the class — and started A/C Handyman in 2008 so he could do the work the way he thought it should be done: show up when you said you would, charge a fair price, and never sell someone a system they don't need.
Eighteen years later that hasn't changed. He still runs every call himself, from Mesa out across the East Valley.
The man who answers the phone is the man in your attic. Nobody is working on commission.
Fair, plain pricing
No corporate overhead to feed, so the number stays reasonable — and you hear it before work starts.
No hard sell
If your unit can be repaired, Brad repairs it. He'd rather fix it than sell you a new one.
Actually shows up
Seven days a week from 5am, with a call twenty minutes ahead. Emergencies included.
★★★★★
Bradley is extremely honest and you really do get pricing that is half of the other HVAC companies.
★★★★★
He showed up at 8:30 — when he said he would — the same day. Added freon, and didn't try any hard sell tactics.
★★★★★
He is honest, extremely knowledgeable and reliable. He comes when you need him and you can always bank on what he tells you.
Where Brad drives
Based in Mesa. Across the East Valley.
Home base is Mesa, AZ — and Brad runs the whole valley from it, seven days a week.
Mesa
On the edge of the map? Call and ask — the answer is usually yes.
Straight answers
Questions Brad gets every week.
Usually, yes — a house with no cooling in an Arizona summer goes to the front of the line. Brad works seven days a week from 5am to 7pm, and he'll tell you honestly on the phone whether it's today or first thing tomorrow rather than book you and hope.
Maybe — but get a second opinion first. Compressor failures are among the most misdiagnosed and most expensive calls in this trade, and Brad has no salesman standing behind him. He'll look at the unit, compare the quote you were handed, and tell you if a repair will actually do the job.
Almost certainly. A/C Handyman services all major brands — Trane, Carrier, Goodman, Rheem, Lennox, Bryant, York, Amana, Ruud, Payne, Heil, Coleman, Kenmore, Goettl, and Mastercool evaporative coolers among them.
Yes. Spring start-ups, fall shut-downs, pads, pumps, float valves, belts and leaks. Evaporative cooling is still the cheapest comfort in the valley when it's maintained, and plenty of shops won't touch it anymore.
Brad. A/C Handyman is one licensed owner-operator, not a rotating roster of technicians — which is why the person who quotes you, the person who fixes it, and the person who answers when you call back are all the same person.
