Excellent All Around

We have been helped by José two times. First, we contacted him because we needed an a/c tune-up, but wanted to ask someone who mentioned HVAC experience as well, as our new house had poor heat/cooling flow to the 2nd floor. During the visit he noted that we had an a/c leak. Even though he sells new units, he didn’t try to push this, instead trying to work with a fix that could give us more life on our ~13 y.o. unit. Meanwhile, he was incredibly informative with our HVAC situation and confidently described a fix, showing drawings and explaining why this would work. His proposal was different than other things we had heard. After some debate, we decided to go with the HVAC
fix and get a new a/c as the interior pipework was already being moved around. While the total job was not cheap, based on other sources I think it was very fair, and most importantly I was convinced that I was paying someone with lots of skill and experience who knew what they were doing. His HVAC fix has completely transformed our house. He explained that we were getting 30% of our efficiency potential and said his fix would likely get us to 80%. Based on heat flow, it has surpassed this. We went from needing an infrared heater upstairs at times to being almost too hot! The basement heat is also better. Second call: our furnace started leaking water after its first use of the season. José explained what he thought it may be, and was able to come over to check. He fixed the problem (damaged gasket) and did the furnace tune-up we needed as well, explaining that one sensor was corroded. He explained the symptoms to watch out for if it ever malfunctions. Based on these two visits, I would give José the highest rating and be very confident to call him with any heating/cooling/HVAC needs.
