The name changed. The standard didn’t.

Built on a family standard in home comfort. Run from our Youngsville office. Trusted across Raleigh and the Triangle.

T. Byrd’s Heating & Cooling was founded in Charlotte by Travis Byrd, and it is still owned by a family — one whose work in heating, cooling and refrigeration goes back to 1972. That is the company the Triangle calls when the system quits, and it has not changed hands.

What changed is the name on the truck. T. Byrd’s is now Tru72 Heating & Cooling: a tribute to 1972, the year it all began, and a promise to stay true to the values that built it. Same family, same phone number, same crew.

Those values are easy to write down and harder to hold to. Measure before recommending. Diagnose before replacing. Treat a customer’s home the way you would want yours treated. It is a straightforward way to work, built on craftsmanship, accountability and doing the job right the first time.

The commitment underneath the new name is the old one, and we intend to keep earning it. Comfort isn’t about selling equipment. It’s about understanding the home, finding the problem, and earning trust through the quality of the work.

What it means: Modern convenience, traditional values. Today’s instruments, the family’s standards.

Our values, in four phrases.

What we stand for, said the way we'd say it on the phone.

  • Comfort Done Right.

    What every visit aims at. The result customers actually receive when the work is done well.

  • Clean. Quality. Comfort.

    Clean work in your home. Quality in the way the system is diagnosed and installed. Comfort that lasts long after we leave.

  • We don't guess. We test.

    Real diagnostics on every call. Refrigerant pressures on the gauges. Static pressure across the coil. Electrical draw at the contactor. We give you the data, then we give you the choice.

  • Modern convenience, traditional values.

    Today's diagnostic tools. The family's traditional standards. That's the whole posture, and it's what most homeowners actually want from an HVAC company.

What "we test" looks like on the invoice.

Real diagnostics on every Raleigh and Triangle call is an easy sentence to write. Here is the number underneath it.

A capacitor reading 12 µF against a 35 µF spec — that's the failure. Not a symptom.

What it means: You pay to fix the part that's actually broken, rather than the expensive one someone guessed at. And if your system has years left in it, we'll say so.

Brad HarriottGeneral Manager · Raleigh

I'm a Marine Corps veteran with nearly 10 years of HVAC experience and a strong belief that doing the job right the first time is always worth it. My goal is simple: provide honest advice, quality workmanship, and a customer experience built on trust. I take pride in helping homeowners make informed decisions about their comfort and treating every home as if it were my own.

When I'm not helping customers, I enjoy golfing, traveling with my wife, discovering new places, spending time with friends, and hanging out with our dog.

Brad leads the day-to-day work in Raleigh. The voice on the phone, the standard on every job, the person accountable when something needs to be made right.
