JL MECHANICAL HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING 2110 Calumet Avenue, Valparaiso, IN 46383

"JL Mechanical is holistically amazing from the beautiful and friendly voice of Amber to help navigate the calls to the Phenomenal Chris who had to make 2 visit to my home in 72 hours at no fault of his, it was my dumb furnance. lol He was all the perfect P's: Professional, precise, plesant and his work and results were pleasing. I would recommend JL to anyone who has heating issues please call 707-5485 immediately. I'm a happy customer and you will be as well!"

"Justin, the owner came out same day/evening that I contacted them, he was extremely professional and informative. Jennifer, the office manager, was great to talk with and extremely helpful! I was thankful for the personal service/phone calls and not just emails like I received from other companies. I’m a single mom so thinking of cost and future repairs, if needed, was also a bit of a concern for me, no other company offered the warranties like JL did. I was not home for the installation but from my understanding everything went well. I’m grateful to have a new ac unit before the extreme heat comes next week. I will definitely contact JL Mechanical again for any future needs!"

"JL Mechanical Heating and Air Conditioning was recommended to me by my best friends after they repaired and replaced multiple systems on both the heating and air conditioning side of their house. They came highly recommended for exemplary work, following through with the repairs and appointments, and timely service. JL Mechanical were not the first technicians we approached for diagnosing and repairing our faulty AC system. It stopped cooling after we turned it back on after the winter. We contacted a local company who had serviced our furnace in the past. They came out and looked at our air conditioning unit, measured the amount of refrigerant, and told us there was a crack in the line. They also spent 5 minutes denigrating whoever installed our air conditioning unit, taking note that they had done a terrible job sealing the line, running it, doing clean work, and a host of other problems. In fact, their advice was to go after whoever had originally installed our air conditioner (as it was only 4 years old at that point) and have them fix their poor work since it was obvious that the line had cracked due to their failure to properly install it. They also assured us that if they had done the work, they wouldn’t have done any of that and would stand by their work and take care of it. Their solution was to fill the tank with nitrogen and do a bubble test along the line to detect the leak or run it for a week with dye and come back and fix the leak then. To make a long story short, we discovered that this company had installed the unit while we were closing on the house, and they refused to honor their work and blamed us for the crack in the line. They also then tried to immediately start repairs while quoting an outrageous price to fix their own mistakes. They charged a service charge despite initially telling me they had been the cause of the problem. This is when we contacted Justin at JL Mechanical. They got back to us quickly and were out to us the next day. He agreed with the first company that they had done a terrible job installing the unit and running the line. However, unlike the first company, he had a refrigerant detector he used along the entirety of the unit and the line back to the furnace in the basement which detected no refrigerant leak along the line. He quickly diagnosed the actual problem which were the evaporator coils in the furnace, which were already at their end of life when the new AC unit had been installed 4 years prior. The leaks were obvious, and the evaporator coils were a rusted mess. The people from the first company did not even look at the evaporator coils or the line itself in the basement nor did they have a refrigerant detector (which made detecting the leaks in the evaporator coils easy. It lit up like a Christmas tree). Justin had a quote out that night and did not charge us a service charge for the initial visit. The very next day a technician by the name of Mike came out with the new part they had procured basically the same day and replaced it in a matter of 4 hours. He even stuck around for an hour to ensure that the air conditioner was working, that there were no drops in pressure from any possible leaks, cleaned up any mess he made, fixed up some of the terrible sealing from the initial installation, and wrapped new insulation around line. Payment was easy and Justin worked with us on the price. They were great at every step of the process and took their time to explain the problem, show it, and explain how it was going to be fixed, the warranty on the parts, their labor and everything else you could think of. I would highly recommend JL Mechanical Heating and Air Conditioning for any heating or air conditioning work you have. Their approach to the work and how they handled themselves was in sharp contrast to our first technicians we contacted. You will not be disappointed."

"Happy, Happy customer here. My furnace went out on the weekend, it couldn’t be fixed. JL to the rescue had me up and running in no time. I called several places for bids. It was best to replace a/c and furnace at the same time, since they were 1998 models. I’m a single mom so thinking of cost and future repairs if needed was a big deal for me. No other company offered the warranties like JL did. Went with the Coleman units with a 10 year warranty on parts and labor. Plus the rebates offered by Coleman were great. I highly recommend JL, everything was put in and up and running the same day. Trustworthy employees and they were very helpful. The house, garage and driveway were left clean as well."
