JKL Engineering

They get the job done when they say Tony and Ken are great people

Run, as fast as humanly possible, away from JKL Engineering and its owner, Tony Freitas. I hired them to diagnose a no cooling issue with my AC system. The tech arrived, connected his gauges, and very quickly assessed it as low on refrigerant with a leak in the system. When I suggested that it could perhaps be leaking from one of the two Schrader valves (a simple repair) he replied, “Look, I’ve been doing this for 30 years and don’t tell me how to do my job.” When the system still wouldn’t cool after sealer and 4 pounds of refrigerant he proceeded to say the system couldn’t be repaired and, per his boss, Tony, the whole system (heat included) must be replaced. Really? A high-quality, Rheem system installed in 2011 has reached the end of its life in 10 years? I don’t think so.. He then presented a bill for $685 (!) which included $165 for sealant (which sells on Amazon for $65); 4 pounds of R410A refrigerant for $150; 2.5 hours of labor at $365 (he was on site for 2 hours and 5 minu

Approximately one hour later a technician arrived and quickly confirmed that it was the circulator that was not functioning. Despite the fact that the owner told me yesterday that the technician would have a replacement circulator in his vehicle, the technician told me that he did not keep circulators in his vehicle and that he would have to go to the supply house to pick one up. 2 1/2 hours later the technician still has not returned. I called
