It is now 1/2/19 and I have received no response to my inquiry on 12/18/18. Guess business must be so good that they can ignore a customer inquiry.

I am so thankful for L & J Refrigeration! They always answer the phone regardless of the time of day, weekend, holiday, etc. They understand the crisis a customer is in when their AC goes out in the summer. This is the 2nd time they have saved me. I called last night at 9pm the night before the 4th of July and they were here before their scheduled time of 10am-12pm, exceeding expectations already. Jeff quickly diagnosed the problem, I needed a new compressor for my condenser and AC was back up and running cold in 15 minutes! WOW! Last year, I was getting dripping from the top line outside, that is never suppose to drip and it was a Sunday, so called in a panic and Paul was out here same day to fix it. They are trustworthy, reliable, professional, competitively priced, and friendly. I can't ask for anything more! Thank you to Kelly who answered all my questions last night and Jennifer who helped me get scheduled last year. I should also mention my AC went out in 2005 at a previous house and they were able to get me scheduled quickly and fixed that issue as well. LJ will have my business from here on out! Thank you to everyone at LJ Refrigeration!

Technician showed up on time and checked out both my units thoroughly. The tech was actually one of the owners. I avoid HVAC companies where the tech's are compensated based on sales to avoid being sold something that may not be needed. So I got a referral from a trusted real estate agent who suggested I give LJ Refrigeration a try. Definitely will hire again.

Excellent. They always call and let you know when they will be there.
Description of Work: We hired them once years ago to take out a broken AC unit and put in a new one. Now we are on a yearly check-up. I love their check-ups as they really have extended the life of our gas furnace and keep our AC unit in great runnning condition.

When we bought our house Feb of 2016, we couldn't turn on the air conditioning unit because it was too cold outside. The unit worked ok during that summer but definitely struggled to keep up. This summer was even harder. We have the equalizer plan but our unit was constantly running and couldn't even maintain an 80° ambient temp. We called LJ Refrigeration on Tuesday afternoon. I hoped that we could get squeezed in for a diagnostic check up the following week. I was completely surprised to get a 7:00 am appointment the following day!! They were efficient and very informative. They gave us tips on maintaining our unit through monsoon season as well as a regular mantinence schedule. Their price was more than reasonable and within minutes of the diagnostic my house was noticeably better. The unit runs less and keeps the house right where we set it! I will absolutely be recommending LJ Refrigeration to anyone who asks!

It was $198 for the whole call. The Freon itself was $120 and then the labor for the checkup. They've always been on time and punctual, professional and seem to do the work well. It took 20 minutes to a half hour at most. No problems, I didn't notice anything left. I think the professionalism and their punctuality was real good. He even came earlier than they said and he called ahead of time. So that's always nice. I think it's a reasonable price and I didn't have any problem with that. I'm just happy with their service. They've always given me really good service whenever I've called. The woman when I've called has even been able to help me over the phone without even sending someone. They are a good company. I like them. They haven't done any major work yet. I've used them for about 3 years to do the periodic checks on my system. One thing I like about them is they don't push me into replacing my older unit before it is needed. I feel like they're being honest with me. I've liked what they've done so far.
Description of Work: They checked my heating and air and added some Freon.

I called at 7:30 am, talked to the answering service. Jennifer called me back within the hour and indicated Paul would be out before noon, which he was. He made the necessary repairs after showing me the problems. I also had him service the other air conditioner while he was here. Most of the expense related to replenishing the freon which had leaked out due to a leak. Paul was very knowledgeable and quick with his work. I am now enjoying air co disturbed comfort again!

Let me start with back story. We were sold a 4 ton Trane XL14c which was installed by another company and it was undersized. Because it was undersized we were concerned why we were not getting the cooling we expected. We had two well known and highly rated AC contractors in Phoenix tell us that it was not undersized but that there were various parts broken on a brand new Trane unit and that even though the parts were under warranty it would be $1,600 to fix. Insane right? Paul, came out and verified there was nothing wrong with our brand new Trane, obviously. It was simply undersized. Paul, responded every time we called and his staff was extreemely professional and empathetic to the horrendous service we got from two local and well known AC contractors. Paul worked with us to get the right sized unit installed. He even helped us sell the old unit. I mean above and beyond service when we needed it most. I cannot thank Paul enough. Do yourself a big favor and call Paul at LJ before you call other companies in Phoenix. The horrendous customer service, fraudulant estimates, and nightmare of an experience can all be avoided if you call Paul and the wonderful people at LJ.
Description of Work: Paul, installed a new AC unit for us because another company that sold us an undersized unity wouldn't service or correct their mistake.

Please see my review of 02/21/2015. My respect and gratitude for the outstanding service provided by this company over the years continues undiminished. My units are now 17 1/2 years old, have never failed, nor ever required any repair/replacement parts other than the shot of Freon when necessary. However, I'm sure there are many technically-proficient a/c outfits here in the Valley. But what sets this company apart is the people -- from the pleasant front-office folks in scheduling to the on-site technician.. Paul -- the technician normally sent to my house -- is top-notch. Prompt, pleasant, responsive to any questions I might have, and always willing to provide sound technical advice. LJ Refrigeration is the top performer among my many household service/technical providers. I wish the others could provide an equivalent level of quality service.
Description of Work: Annual inspection/maintenance of my dual-zone Trane a/c systems [2 outdoor compressors], including check-up of electrical and compressor amps, motors, fans, blade balance and, where necessary, the addition of R22 Freon. Removed compressor cages and thoroughly washed unit coils and housings; replaced cages and ran unit test results.

I have two zones in my condo and one was not cooling. I found this out from my tenant on a Tuesday and I was already planning to be in Scottsdale that weekend. Jennifer at LJ scheduled the service for the morning I arrived and the Tech, Paul, was there in the two hour window she provided me. The system is almost 30 years old. I was expecting the worst...the compressor. Given the age of the system and current code, if a compressor dies, the system inside and out needs to be replaced. There are repair techs out there that could have just told me the compressor was not repairable and talked me into a $6000 replacement system. Paul did not do that. He replaced the failed part. So the total invoice was a fraction of what I was expecting. That kind of service pretty much guarantees that when my a/c systems eventually have to be replaced, LJ will get the business !!!

Kelly was able to get Jeff out to my condo in just 3 hours to check things out!! Best of all, Jeff determined that the previous guy had misdiagnosed the problem and that all I needed was a new capacitor, not a condenser. He was able to fix the problem immediately for 1/10th of the previous estimate! I was so relieved and grateful. I can't say enough nice things about this small family-owned business: They are always trustworthy, reliable, punctual, and highly competent. I recommend this company without reservation.
Description of Work: I am selling my condo and had to have the A/C serviced as a condition of the sale. With just one week until closing, the person sent by my realtor to give me an estimate informed me that I needed a new condenser, to the tune of $2550. In a panic, I immediately called LJ Refrigeration, who have taken excellent care of me and my homes for 15 years. As always, they were very responsive and had the whole issue resolved within just a few hours!!.

I have been using L.J. Refrigeration for several years now. They do excellent work. I decided to change AC service companies when the previous one told me I need to replace the central air and heat unit on the guest house. That was 4 years ago and the unit is still working fine, thanks to LJ's competence and honesty. When there is an AC malfunction in the heat of summer, LJ is quick to respond and get things back to normal in short order.

Not much more I can say that hasn't been said in my several reviews since my first in 2007 [reviews not submitted a couple of years since 2006, but I've used them every year]. The company is very accommodating and responsive in scheduling these annual Spring check-ups. My a/c systems, now 16 1/2 years old, have never failed, required any repair/replacement parts [other than the occasional shot of Freon], and just hum right along -- and we're year-round residents, so the systems get a full workout during the Valley's summers. Additionally, Paul -- the technician I usually get -- is just top-notch. Always arrives on-site during the scheduled window, ready to get working, answer any questions I might have and provide a summary of what he found during the check-up. A very professional and pleasant gent to deal with -- just wish he had plumber and electrician licenses, as well; I'd use him! This is an excellent company -- from front-office scheduling to the on-site technician. It should also be noted from my prior reviews that pricing has remained stable for several years.
