AJ Heating & Cooling Services

Moral of the story… Heater or AC goes on the fritz. Contact AJ Heating and Cooling. Jose is the best — courteous — honest — efficient — experienced — and priced right too. Did I say honest and priced right too? I would invite Jose into my house anytime.
AJ Heating and Cooling gets my highest praise. Five stars all the way. My heater was making bad noises.
JOSE came to the rescue!!! (complete with little booties to keep my wife’s rugs clean). Jose is a professional — knows his trade — he is honest — priced fairly — fast response — quick job when he got here (AJ Heating and Cooling had lots of 5 star reviews on Unilocal — I see why!!).
Got my unit fixed quickly and cost was 60% LESS than what a competitor wanted to charge me. (see my note at the bottom about «other companies»).
Jose took the time to tell me of the life expectancy of my furnace and that it obviously did not need replacing (after another company tried to sell me a new furnace along with their high priced and unnecessary service recommendations!).
A furnace repair is something you usually don’t need often… so when you do need HVAC service you can be at the mercy of the problem (brrrr cold) and the repair company (working on a commission?).
So…I hit Unilocal and found AJ Heating and Cooling… and Jose! How fortunate for me
Jose pointed out the inducer was the only thing wrong with my unit (I knew that). He told me that the furnace blower was clean — and my duct work was clean (this was a service highly recommended by the «other» company… jerks). AND Jose charged about 60% LESS what the other guys wanted to take me for. Jose’s diagnosis and pricing was accurate and fair. Happy day!
Also… I did a lot of comparative shopping with other HVAC companies before I settled on AJ Heating and Cooling. There were 2 things that really sold me before I experience Jose’s service first hand.
1) All of AJ Heating and Cooling’s Unilocal reviews were golden. You can’t hide from Unilocal.
2) Also some of the other 5 star rated companies told me that they would send a «technician» out. Hmmmm. I wanted to have the owner (that would stand by his work) come out — NOT «the technician». In my opinion, when the owner is involved with the service call, HIS good name is attached success of the repair.
NOTE: Oh, the «other guys». Service Champions initially tried to screw me for$ 1300++. PLUS $ 69 for the service call to come out and screw me. (When I turned paste white they said they might be able to work a deal with me). Yeah right. Like I just fell off the truck. This came from a $ 69 service check. BIG mistake to call them. Then they tried to sell me a new furnace too. Jerks! Used car salesmen. No… that would give used car salesmen a bad name.

We used Jose two times and both times he was very courteous, accommodated an appointment the same day and he takes time to explain what he thinks may be the issue with our AC. Rates were reasonable. Great customer service!

Like everyone else, I came to Unilocal looking for a business that is highly rated and recommended. My furnace only worked when it wanted, and never when I did until it finally died. I called another business and set up an appointment to come and replace the whole system for a new one. They guy was up in the attic for an hour inspecting to give me a quote on the job. When he was done he told me he would email me the quote. I never heard from him. So I then called Jose at AJ Heating and glad I did. Jose was able to come the next day and quote me right away. I was quoted for replacement of my furnace with a more efficient unit, all new ducts and I also went ahead and added A/​C. Jose and his crew worked for about a week straight and they always showed up on time, prepped the house to keep from damaging floors and keep dust to a minimum, and cleaned up at the end of every day. The installing is all done up to code and includes pulling permits and having the system leak tested. Now what impressed me the most is Jose’s pride in his work. The system tested and passed with flying colors and impressed the guy doing the test, but Jose was disappointed. He wanted better numbers so he went through everything to get those numbers up and he did. I will recommend Jose 100% and looking forward to next year to have him do the same to my parents house.

My air conditioning unit has been broken for the last 2 years or so. I had it checked by a couple of people, 1 said it was a busted motor, the other said the unit was too small. Costs for each fix was too expensive to me.
Last few days the heat was unbearable so I called AJ and they set me up with a same day appointment between 5 to 6. I get home at around 5 and Jose was already done with the repairs and checking the temperature of each vent. It took him a few minutes to identify the problem and replace the busted part, at a very reasonable price. Sleep will be very good tonight.
Highly recommended.

Fantastic service. My A/​C stopped blowing out cool air amidst 90+ degree temperatures outside. Of course this happened in the evening. I called them first thing in the morning, and they showed up within 2 hours. The technician knew what was wrong as soon as he walked up to the unit, just from the sound it was making. Fixed it within 20 minutes, even explaining all the steps to my 4 year old along the way! Efficient, knowledgeable, courteous and reasonably priced. What more can you ask for!

I can’t say enough great things about this company, or the owner Jose and his crew. I had obtained 4 other bids and though this bid was not the least expensive, it was the most fair and ethical. It was crystal clear what model numbers he bid for the job, the warranties for product and what work would be done. We were having a whole new heat system put in, ductwork and all. We also had an a/​c unit installed. From day one it was worry free. They were on time, came in laid down cloth on the floors, wore booties on there shoes and were incredibly informative and professional. They completed the job when they said they would. They communicated throughout the process. The owner Jose is an amazing person, he is kind, direct, and honest. He worked side by side with his crew. On the day of inspection Jose had all of the certification paperwork ready. The most impressive thing was the words the City Inspector said which was it was the best quality of work he has ever seen! Enough said…

My A/​C stopped working and I had 2 HVAC repair services to come fix it. They both charged me for the visit without fixing the problem. All they had to say was to try changing the air filters. It never fixed the problem though.
Then I called AJ Heating & Cooling. Jose came over. He detected a problem with the capacitor and changed it. He charged me for the part and service and asked me to call back if the problem reoccurred. I called Jose back after a week when the problem reoccurred. Jose was very prompt in coming to check the issue. He was able to detect the root of the problem and fixed it (replaced the breaker which was heating up) without any service/​part charge.
It’s been a over month now and My A/​C is working fine! Thank u Jose! :)
It’s very rare to find honest help/​service. 100% recommend AJ heating & cooling.

Our AC did not work well and I called the service to diagnose and fix the problem. AJ was able to come on time and changed the parts. JOSE was very informative and honest and helpful. The service was great and the charge was very reasonable.
We really appreciate!
Thank you Jose and AJ!

My house came with a broken furnace when I bought it. Rather than fixing the original inefficient furnace, I decided to replace it. I called in a couple other companies, but I chose Jose due to his honesty, good price, service, and 5-​year warranty. Ultimately, his 5-​year warranty was what sealed the deal. He stated that as long as the filter in furnace is changed routinely, he will honor the warranty (parts & labor free). The heater itself has limited warranty from the factory, but it doesn’t cover the labor fee.
It has been 5 days since he installed it. I’m a happy customer. I would recommend Jose again.
I will update the review should anything happen.

I highly recommend AJ Heating and Cooling Services. Jose came in to our house yesterday to fix our heater, he is very much knowledgeable and did a great job. He is trustworthy and very much professional with strong work ethics. I am giving this company 5 Stars for Jose’s quality of work and professionalism. More power to your company and keep up the excellent quality of work that you provided to your clients!

We had a problem with our heater blowing out cold air over the Thanksgiving weekend. Feeling a little desperate, I called several different places from Unilocal looking for someone to come out and fix the heater since it was freezing. Most of the places did not pick up the phone but fortunately AJ Heating did. They were able to come out on Monday after the holiday weekend. The guy that came out to fix the issue was very punctual, arriving right when they said they would be there. He found the issue was caused by a plugged drain line, and thus only charged me for the service call and a new filter (which needed to be changed out). Everything went very smoothly and I would use their services again.

We had our wall heater replaced because the previous owner had a completely wrong kind installed and it wasn’t working. AJ heating diagnosed the problem, replaced it at a reasonable cost promptly, and put a one year warranty on it. 8 months later, it appears the thermostat gave out. I give them a call, and he shows up two hours later within the promised window right on time and is as courteous as ever and takes care of it. The follow up to me is as critical as the initial service, and even though he wasn’t making any money on this call, he was professional, prompt and courteous. That earns future business from me.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Very professional, honest, informative, great communication and paperwork, and very quick turnaround. Our furnace died on us last weekend and we called AJ on Saturday to setup repair visit. Jose showed up on Monday as scheduled and diagnosed the problem. He thoroughly tested the system, explained the problem and offered 3 options:
1. Repair the 35 year old inefficient furnace by searching for an old, out of production, relay.
2. Install a new efficient basic single stage furnace. Comparable unit to what we had but more efficient and stronger.
3. Install a new efficient basic dual stage furnace.
Together we discussed the pros and cons of each option — efficiency, direct costs, long term savings, etc. We touched on some higher-​end options, but quickly agreed that they were beyond our need and budget. For the new installations, he said it could be done by Friday.
My wife and I discussed the options that evening and decided to go with Option 2.
I called Jose on Tuesday morning and he said he could have it all removed, cleaned, installed and done on Thursday morning. I agreed and within an hour, he dropped by my office to review and sign the contracts.
Thursday morning, Jose and his coworker came on time, removed the old furnace, pipes, and ducts, cleaned the area, and in 4 hours installed the new furnace, pipes, ducts, insulation and even a new digital thermostat!
We went over the thermostat settings together and he showed me the new furnace and how it operates. We reviewed the paperwork, city permit and inspection process, and paid by credit card!
In sum, working with Jose and AJ Heating and Cooling Services was a very easy process, affordable, and the quick turnaround will save us from the freezing temperatures tonight! Thank you, Jose and AJ!

Jose has helped me maintain my furnace over the years. He has always provided excellent service. When it was time to replace my furnace, Jose gave me a detailed quote that addressed not only my need for reliable heat, but also concerns I had for noise. Jose installed the new furnace and did some work to reduce noise. I now have a much quieter operating furnace. I am very pleased with the work.

Just had our heating/​AC system fixed by Jose and his assistant Beto. They are great, thorough, super friendly and Jose is so honest! I would recommend their services to you! They also made everything they fixed look like new! Very impressed and great customer service! They also finished sooner than quoted but did a finesse job!

I had them come out to try and figure out what was wrong with my furnace. I was able to make an appt very quickly and they called first and showed up on time. It turned out that I just needed to replace my filters (how embarassing!). The technician was very friendly and thorough and gave me good information. I would call them again anytime.

I had the pleasant Experience of meeting the owner of AJ Heating & cooling the other day and I can not say enough Great things about him!!!
Jose’ is a Very informative and knowledgeable gentleman.
I was referred to him by another company who was too busy.
My furnace was not heating and Jose’ diagnosed the issue promptly and repaired it on the spot. He did not try to sell me anything I did not need. He listened to my concerns and fixed my furnace. I am toasty warm because of Jose’ !!!
Thank you AJ!!!
The professional clean and courteous people of AJ heating & cooling have exceeded my expectations.
You must try them for yourself!

Our furnace would not turn on and we called several companies after the last cold snap. One firm came out and wanted $ 1200 including $ 400 to clean and change the filter, which was when we decided to look around. We found AJ Heating on an Internet search, and though they didn’t have any Unilocal reviews, they had two great google ones. We called Jose and told him what the other company had said, and he wisely said before we ordered the parts, he would come look at it. He checked the furnace and found that, in fact, it was a small repair and someone had closed all of our dampers which disabled the heater. He got the heat up and running, took a look at the furnace which he said was already clean, and checked for carbon monoxide, all for the cost a very reasonable service call fee. I give him FIVE STARS for his professionalism and honesty. It is truly refreshing to find a company that will come out and give you such terrific and forthright service. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND AJ HEATING. My husband asked Jose if he fixed anything else, but alas he is the heating and cooling expert!
