have worked for brines a total of 5 years came back 2 years ago wouldn't want to work for anyone else they always have work and hours the dispatchers don't try to drive the techs in the gourd like some companies,they respect your time and value ,good communications between office and techs
What a great company!!!
Great place, HVAC company HQ
Worst place I've ever worked at. Horrible higher ups. Don't pay their vendors and illegally deduct from their service techs.
Amazing company to be a part of.
Definitely the best Refrigeration company in the United States
Great assistance and the lovely Woman working here really knows her stuff and how to resolve any issues!! She dedicated and smart!!
Worst company no communication Also seen with my own eyes techs bleeding out refrigerant from compressors, hvac units ect, mike Evan's worst dispatch always has attitude problems a person u cannot talk to, have not recieved last pay check. They supposably offer so much in the beginning but at the end it's a shame.
By far the best place I have ever been employed, if you are a good technician you will be here for a long time!!!
DO NOT WORK WITH OR TRUST THIS DEBACLE OF A FIRM FOR EVEN A SECOND!!!! I am one of the owners of Capital Coil & Air, and we manufacture custom OEM replacement and design/build commercial HVAC Coils. Brine's Refrigeration came to us a few months back looking for some Hot Water replacement coils. This project was a nightmare from beginning to end. Brine's sales rep, Jake Cahan, screwed up the job from the jump by ordering the wrong size coils, which rendered them useless. I know this because another sales rep told me as much in a later phone call, so they needed to order new coils to make up for Jake's incompetence. The owners at Brine then tried to concoct a story that because the original coils (that were incorrectly sized and ordered to begin with) were a 1/4 of an inch short, and therefore they should not have to pay for the original batch. It's standard industry practice to size and build coils slightly shorter to ensure that they will fit, so their refusal to pay us for building exactly what was asked for and approved by them is just a CYA moment from the top on down. We will never work with this company again as they have proved to be thoroughly unethical and completely incompetent. And based on our interactions with the company's leadership, that incompetence comes straight from the top and has permeated the whole company. If ever approached or thinking of hiring Brine's Refrigeration...run as fast and as far from these clowns as you can. I promise that you won't regret that decision!!!
This is the worst company to work for they stole my last paycheck and charged me twice for things when I tried to resolve the issue it was impossible they are a bunch of crooks and dont know anything about ac or refrigeration
No safe rooms here ,little winny babies get light bulbs. This is old school environment, they don't snap your mittens to your sleave , there isn't any deversity training & if your sound like the little guppies on here ......I'd throw you off the roof. Not everyone can handle old school environments . Don't work you don't eat. It's for free men.....not a government plantation.
best company to work with, all the technicians are very well educated in this industry.
Very clickish place to work. The owner is a Jew, so if you are Jewish you can not get fired. They will work you to the point of exhaustion and talk down to you in a very demeaning tone if you even bring up the fact that you need a break. The dispatchers and the owner are not technical people at all so they go by what the long time employed techs (I use the term tech very loosely) say is a call back or not. The same tech that does not know how to properly install a smoke alarm for a commercial hvac system said I was wrong that the unit did not need a sampling tube when it clearly states in the instructions that it does. Not to get too technical but basically the long time "techs" are bush league at best and are calling the shots on what is right and wrong on a service call when they barely understand how an air conditioner works to begin with. The job would have been perfect if they would take advice from people that are actually technicians instead of maintenance filter changers. I was told that flowing nitrogen through a system while brazing is not necessary because the units aren't big enough cause oxidation inside of the lineset. Again not to get too technical but they don't know what in the hell is going on over there.
Great place to work for.
Great place to work and you have as many hours as you want. They also won't run you to death, it does get busy but that's the business.
I interviewed with them seemed like a ok place to work .....everything isnt for everyone...some companies have a certain way of doin things ...and this doesnt always work for alot of people ..
Great place to work!
Lack of communication , No job security , very little help when needed on job sites . Will have too threatened for lawyer for your last paycheck and will not receive vacation pay .
I feel the same .Brines Refrigeration is a great company to be employed by. I have been an employee there for 9 months now and I can honestly say they are a premier workplace. Brines takes great pride in their workers and customers. Jobs are dispatched promptly and are not rushed once you get there to perform the repairs. Dispatchers aren't calling you, questioning you on "how much longer" they provide me with the time necessary to make the correct diagnosis and repairs necessary to get unit ops back to normal status and efficiency back to manufacturers specifications. Everyone in the office works as a team which in fact results in a well oiled machine, operating to please our customers in which is our main priority. Company vehicles are well maintained and maintenance performed on a regular schedule. Vehicles are also stocked with inventory to ensure faster, quality repairs. The technicians are courteous, friendly, and considerate of the customers issue. I myself am very happy and grateful for my job and I've always been told and have experienced personally, that if your employees are happy and taken care of by the employer, then they in return do better work and are committed to that employer. Thank you Brines for the employment opportunity and best work environment. To the perspective businesses out there looking for HVAC/, Refrigeration services, let us be of service to you and join our family. Have a great day and smile at somebody today.
