Brewster Burner Service Inc

Brewster Burner Service Inc. is a two-person, family-owned heating, cooling and plumbing shop on Whiffletree Ave in Brewster, run by owner Shane Gleason and serving nine Lower and Mid-Cape towns from Barnstable out to Wellfleet. The reviews are few but unusually consistent, and they keep naming the same man. In a December 2025 review a homeowner said Shane arrived within about an hour on a Saturday evening to fix an oil burner and explained everything thoroughly; a 2023 reviewer who had called for both a summer A/C repair and a heating failure wrote that 'they always respond'; 2022 reviewers called him dependable and 'a straight shooter' and said he had never let them down over many years. Word of mouth points the same way: in a 2023 r/CapeCod thread about finding an HVAC contractor near Eastham, a commenter named Brewster Burner Service as one of the reputable contractors in that part of the Cape. What to check before booking: this is a two-person operation with weekday 9-5 office hours and an on-call service outside them, so ask what response time you can expect in a peak-season heat wave or a January cold snap, and confirm scope on bigger installations. The company's site says it has been trading 'Since 1974' while its BBB file records a 1984 start and 2012 incorporation - worth asking about if the tenure matters to you. For a Lower Cape homeowner who wants the owner himself turning up for an oil burner, an A/C fault or a plumbing repair, this is the shape of shop that gets recommended by neighbours rather than found in an ad.
