    I waited to make this review to make sure everything cleared inspections and continued to work well and I can now say that A/C Mechanical Sol deserves 5 stars! I had a tough time finding a heat pump installer that could give me the latest model which uses the new refrigerant (R454B, an A2L type refrigerant with GWP 466). Mel came through for me and did it at a great price too. It has been operating perfectly for 4 weeks now and the efficiency is fantastic (based on midcycle update comparisons). It was really important for me to not get stuck with the R410A models that everyone is pushing now. They have to get those sold before the end of the year or they will be stuck with that inventory since it won't satisfy requirements. The global warming potential of those units (GWP) is 2088 so I am very happy that my unit cuts that to 466 AND operates super efficiently with its variable speed condenser unit (18SEER2). Mel knows his stuff, was very responsive, and his crew were super diligent. Highly recommended!

    Paper shoved in the hole and wiring left exposed.

    This company was subcontracted by Eco construction and energy to install an AC unit and split unit in our home. We have had numerous issues with the AC unit in the home and have to repeatedly call them back. The split unit in the garage was never fully installed and had a live power wire not connected to anything. I have attached pictures so you can see how it was left with paper shoved in the hole of the wall and the wire lying on the ground. I leave this review here so you can see that as the installers this should not have happened. Eco construction continues to maintain that this installation was done correctly and we now have to go to arbitration to fix this negligence. We are being told that Mel is all ready with his documentation and will defend this installation at arbitration. Be warned that if this is their attitude for subcontracting, it could be their attitude when they install something at your home. I have amended the rating as Mel called and will be coming to view the situation this week. I will further update after this meeting.

    We had Bob Jensen come out to repair a Fujitsu mini split and service another. The technician was…read moreSage. This was late on a Friday (7/17) afternoon. The first mini split condenser was fried and had signs of a leak. It was over 10 years old. He called Conor, a supervisor, to talk to us about a new unit. We thought given how busy everyone is that it would be weeks before we could get the split replaced. Conor was able to get to our house in about 30 minutes. Sage serviced the second split while Conor was in route. When Conor arrived he went through the options. We needed something soon with the heat we are experiencing. They carry Mitsubishi mini splits. They had a slot for Tuesday 7/21. We had done our research, so we were comfortable acting quickly. Both Conor and Sage listened to our concerns and made us feel like we were in good hands. For the day of installation Jorge and Aaron showed up on time. They were able to remove the old split and install the new one by midafternoon. Very efficient and respectful. They checked the system out, asked if we had any question or concerns. We have a 115-year-old home, and they were careful in our old home. Our experience with Bob Jensen Heating and Air was outstanding, and I do not say that lightly. Sage, Conor, Jorge and Aaron were great. We would highly recommend Bob Jenson to family, friends and neighbors, without a doubt. We ill add that they have 24/7/365 emergency service.

    I'm taking the time to update my review so other people don't go through what I went through. I…read moreprefer to post positive reviews and if there's an issue I contact the company to resolve it. In this case, Jensen refuses to make it right. My minisplit stopped working after a Bob Jensen technician did routine maintenance on the unit. Before that visit, the unit was operational. After the visit I got flashing lights on the unit. I Googled the sequence of flashes - they indicated that a thermister cable was malfunctioning or incorrectly installed. When Jensen sent the same technician out, he opened the outside unit. I could see that the thermister cable was pinched in 2 places. The technician cut the cable on either side to splice the cable together for a temporary repair. In order to do this very simple splice, he needed to talk to someone on the phone. That person sounded very frustrated with the technician's inability to understand how to do the splice. The tech asked if he should cut off the plug on one end which would have ruined the possibility of splicing the cable for a temporary repair. He clearly didn't have the most rudimentary knowledge about cables. I left at that point and later the tech told me that the splice was complete, but it didn't fix the problem. In the meantime I had been researching how to buy this cable and ordered it since the tech couldn't tell me anything about Jensen's ability to get one. (Bear in mind that the system is sensitive to changes in resistance and a splice may or may not work, so it's necessary to replace the cable.) It was obvious that the Jensen tech didn't know what he was doing, so I contacted a local AC repairman. We examined the splice done by the Jensen tech. THE JENSEN TECH HAD SPLICED ALL 4 WIRES TOGETHER, SHORTING OUT THE THERMISTER CABLE. The local AC repairman correctly spliced the cable and that cleared the fault code, but he let me know it might not last because of the system's sensitivity to resistance changes. In fact, it only lasted a few days and I paid him to come back out to install the new thermistor cable. The only thing Jensen would pay for was the cost of the new cable and shipping. I am out a considerable amount of money from fixing what Jensen broke. On top of that, Jensen insisted that their techs know how to splice cables and refused to fully compensate me even after I showed them photos of the incompetent splice. Then Jensen sent me a letter saying that having an different AC business do repairs could affect my warranty. This is a lie in California because another AC business can do warranty repairs, assuming the unit is still under warranty. Of course, I no longer trust a Jensen repair tech to work on my system and I want a competent repairman to do preventive and corrective maintenance. Bottom line: Jensen won't offset the cost of another company fixing a problem that Jensen created and that a Jensen technician couldn't repair due to incompetence. Also, although I personally saw the crimped cable, the Jensen tech made sure he took it with him - I've little doubt that the tech knew he messed up, but he can't hide his incompetent cable splice because I have photos of it. On top of all of this the technician repeatedly tried to hard sell me a maintenance agreement after I told him I didn't want one. Bob Jensen is no longer a family-owned business. They are owned by a corporation and when you talk to a representative you're talking to a call center. It's apparent that Jensen, under corporate ownership, no longer prioritizes sending out well-trained technicians. They'd rather send a poorly trained tech who prioritizes selling maintenance agreements and then duck responsibility when one of their tech breaks equipment.

Whether it's routine maintenance or a bigger repair, they always deliver excellent results that I can count on. Recently, when our AC unit started acting up during a heat wave, Sam was the technician who came out. From the moment he arrived, Sam impressed me with his friendly, respectful attitude and clear communication. He took the time to thoroughly diagnose the issue, explained everything in straightforward terms so I understood what was happening, and walked me through the recommended repairs without any upselling pressure. His work was meticulous and efficient--he got our system running perfectly again quickly, and even offered helpful tips on how to maintain it better going forward to avoid future problems. What stands out most is how well this entire team, including Sam, treats customers. They've always been courteous and caring with me and my family, making us feel valued rather than just another service call. Sam truly embodies the company's commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their services to anyone--especially if Sam is available! They're dependable, skilled, and genuinely nice people who stand behind their work. Five stars all the way. Thank you, Sam and the whole team!

For a fair price he ordered a universal motor and installed it, and the entire HVAC now works better than before. Adam was highly communicative throughout the process and what I appreciated most was his effort to find us an effective but least-cost solution. He saved us thousands of dollars by repairing instead of replacing. I would definitely use him again and recommend him.

TIMELY- Uriel called 30 min before his arrival and then, arrived at the stated time. This is particularly helpful so I can move my bunny to another room with all of his belongings. ATTENTION TO DETAIL - I saw him place a protective cloth down on the floor before he placed the ladder and tools down. I also noticed there was a bottle of cleaner with his supplies. He cleaned the inside vents as well as the compressor on the roof. He also tied off a loose wire/when checking the air handler in the ceiling. KNOWLEDGEABLE and THROROUGH - Uriel did a complete system check and then, he sat down with me to explain what was done and why. He addressed the concerns I had about some of the prior readings in terms that I could understand and shared tips that will help ensure my system runs at its most efficient. Example: A higher MERV doesn't always mean "better" and can actually restrict the airflow. He said that for my particular system I should use a MERV10 filter and change it every 3 months. He changed my filters and then, left me with two spares to use before the fall check comes. FRIENDLY - In the course of chatting with Uriel, it came up that I might benefit from having more filtered air coming into my condo. He made a recommendation for a part that would replace the standalone room air purifier I currently use. He placed this info into the after-visit summary so I can "research it and see if it fits with my needs and finances." There was zero pressure to make a purchase on the spot. And while this next item has nothing to do with the knowledge or ability of an HVAC tech, I greatly appreciate that he did NOT smell like cigarette / e-cigarette smoke or strong cologne as I have a bunny and people in my family have asthma. Thank you, Uriel, for a job well done.

With the plan they have been pretty consistent with calling and making sure I don't forget to do my scheduled maintenance and inspection.

For the service itself, they do take lots of pictures, explain things in details and show how your system is running objectively. They do help explain things in layman's terms if you're not familiar with it so the techs themselves are pretty good.

I'm sure this cut some costs with remove/setup, but based on some research this is ideal as the weather can get down below 40 degrees where I live. We went with GVK due to this, the fact he took the time to answer all questions thoroughly and honestly, and they were able to install the next business day; got a quote on Friday afternoon and scheduled me for Monday to install the new system. The price was also very competitive with the other options. We did have a delay in starting as they had a mix-up on install dates and had to postpone one day. However, George called and apologized and offered a discount for the mistake and to charge our current system to help keep the house cool until they came out the next day, which I think reflects how he runs a customer focused business. When he did come out that day I had more questions about the setup and based on our discussion we changed the coil for more flexibility in moving the unit in the attic one day. It was pretty clear that George runs a solid business; he double checked they left no trash after leaving, his workers made sure to set up mats everywhere they worked inside, they let us know when they would be using louder tools (as we have a baby), and they stayed until the unit was fully installed which meant they stayed pretty late. I couldn't recommend them enough.

Cost quoted for some other work was extremely reasonable as well. George was also exceptionally pleasant to ask questions of and made it clear that getting the best use out of our existing system was the top priority for him/his business. Would recommend George and GVK Heating and Air whole-heartedly. Well worth scheduling out for this level of service.
