Ryley is by far an amazing technician! Truly appreciated him explaining all that he did and also... educating me on what steps I can take to maintain, and how to prepare for the future. Also treated my property with respect and care. He took off his muddy shoes before coming back into the house. Made sure everything was secure. Treated our fur baby with love.

Bryant was there when we needed them! We had initially hired a different HVAC company to install a... new system in our house, but on the install day, they did not have the right equipment and were going to change us a thousand dollars more for a different system. That’s when we called Bryant and they showed up 10 minutes later! They found the correct system for our house and set up an install date in less than two weeks. They showed up on time and with 4 guys to do the install and got it done right. We now we have a nice cool house in this 100 degree weather. Thank You Bryant Heating and A/C for getting the job done….we will definitely recommend them to all our friends and family!read more

We had an issue come up with one of our air-conditioning units this past week, and it’s not the... first for us. After having some difficulties with a different company in the past, we got connected with Ian at Bryant. We got a very quick response to our request, and Ian was at our house promptly. He came, found the problem quickly, and had it fixed in minutes. Ian communicated everything very clearly to me, and he handled the issue without delay. We really appreciate his timeliness, professionalism, and kindness. We will choose Bryant again in the future.read more

WOW, could not be happier. Called Bryant this morning with a 4 year old water heater that gave out.... Even though rest of crew was booked Joe who answered the call came out himself.

Everyone at Bryant was very helpful. They attempted to talk me out of my on demand Electric hot... water heater, knowing that it was not the best choice for most people in Lincoln Nebraska. Within 24 hours of their replacing my 30 gallon gas hot water heater, my gas furnace died and my ancient gas stove tried to burn itself down. Bryant's HVAC and plumbing people got right on it again. Everyone was super helpful and efficient.My new Rheem on demand Electric hot water heater is 98% efficient and will give me hot water all day long, as long as I don't want more than two gallons per minute.So, if you're interested in an on demand hot water heater, bear in mind that you are interested in gallons per minute, not total gallons that you can use as your determining factor. The only change I had to make was a low-flow shower head. I'm happy.read more

I had him come back out at a later date to get it fixed and it took him no time at all! He showed me how he did it and explained the whole process. Tim was respectful of my home and me, cracked jokes the whole time and didn’t even make a mess. Even if he would have, he was immediately prepared to clean it up.

I recently had an excellent experience with Bryant Heating and Air during my bi-annual check as a... member of the ESP service. Hunter was my technician, and was very personable, honest, and I could tell by our conversation that he sincerely had my best interest in mind with his feedback, because when I know nothing about my heating/air/humidifier I have to rely on good people to help. Hunter was awesome, and I highly recommend Bryant and the ESP service.read more

With the efficiency and technology nowadays a huge plus alone. The smart thermostat is fantastic. Am hoping to notice a difference with the 2 stage gas furnace and AC.

After learning that r22 would no longer going to be used after the 1st of Jan 2020 and we had just... had to have some put into our 14 year a.c., we decided to take action and replace both our a.c. And furnace now. Just from word of mouth and a little computer time, we contacted Steve at Bryant and scheduled a visit for him to give us a bid. Boy, was he ever informative! I think by the time he got through answering all our questions and telling us all about everything, it really made my wife and I very comfortable in having Bryant installing a new a.c. and furnace for us. Within a few days they were out and started installing. Every one of the men that were out here were super nice, made sure our carpet and everything were protected. They were all very informative on what they were doing and why. My wife said to quit bothering them, but it was neat to see how well they worked together. We couldn't be happier with the performance of both units at this time, even tho it hasn't been very long. We can actually tell the difference in how much more comfortable we are compared with our old units, and are looking forwards to cheaper cooling and heating bills. Thanks guys, Lynn and Joyceread more
