About Brauer Supply Co

Brauer Supply Company operates from St. Louis with a footprint spanning 12 service centers from Kansas City, KS to Springfield, IL, serving the commercial and residential HVAC markets across Missouri, Illinois, and Kansas. Founded in the early 1900s, the company remains guided by the Brauer family across generations. The corporate location sits at (314) 534-7150 and maintains weekday hours of 7:30 AM to 5 PM, with weekend visits unavailable. Current review data reflects a 3.8-star average from 34 verified customer ratings.

The breadth of inventory sets this distributor apart from regional rivals. Brauer Supply carries products organized by category and by vendor, including HEIL and Comfortmaker air conditioners alongside mechanical insulation brands such as Knauf and Johns-Manville. The website lists filter, fastener, insulation, and HVAC clearance specials alongside dent and ding price reductions, drawing both homeowners and HVAC technicians into their stores and online shop. Multiple Midwest locations mean inventory decisions stay close to the contractors purchasing there, rather than funneled through a single warehouse.

One reviewer running a small HVAC business spent 40 hours documenting temperature and humidity readings before Brauer Supply acknowledged a warranty dispute over equipment sourced through their supply chain. Another reviewer, Kendall Smith, described the staff as knowledgeable and eager to assist with anything heating and cooling related. Steven Kirkham, who operates in a different service area, reported the gentlemen at the counter were helpful during a single visit. Robert Tobey noted the inventory range made his insulation supply trip worthwhile despite higher pricing.
