Amerikhomes Heating & AC

Amerikhomes Heating & AC

(110 reviews)

St. Albans, Jamaica

I renovated my home and decided I didn't want a steam boiler and individual large air conditioners…read morealong with steam radiators for heat but still needed both Heat and Cooling. I contacted Amerikhomes and made an appointment for Leon to swing by to get an opinion on a new system. He came on time and recommended a mini split system as the solution which would be my primary source for both heating and cooling. We agreed on a system and moved forward with the installation. He ran the piping/wiring and drainage for the units in each room but didn't mount the units until the sheetrock was up. Once the sheetrock was up, he mounted the units and brazed the piping. He advised fittings was not the way to go because as time passes, it may produce a leak and because all the piping is inside the wall, it'll be very difficult to get to whereas brazing is more a permanent connection so he sealed each location via brazing. This was not a 1 time visit. The installation required a multitude of visits to complete. Once everything was installed and ready to be powered on, we went ahead and briefly tested it. The A/C was blowing ice cold and the Heat was nice and warm. No issues during the summer with the A/C but when winter came, a serious problem started to occur. In heat mode, the defrost came on which in itself is not unusual but what was is the fact that it would not turn off. The defrost cycle continued to run to the point where the inside units would start building up frost and ice and the only way for the unit to start heating up again was if you turned off all the indoor units and turned them back on. I contacted Leon to inform him and he couldn't find any issues with his work and that it has to be the unit. Justifiably, he will have to charge me to troubleshoot the unit to pinpoint the problem. For months, Leon and the vendor went back and fourth pointing out the possible causes for the issue but the vendor continued blaming Leon's work and Leon kept explaining that the issue was with the unit so they would not pay him to troubleshoot the unit itself. At this point, we were at the "tail end" of winter and ended up putting up with powering down all the units and powering them back on when the defrost issue started. It took months back and fourth with the vendor and manufacturer that winter had already passed and heat was no longer needed. Towards the end of summer I decided to take matters into my own hands and go based on what Leon mentioned to me being possible causes. he told me that it could be one of 3 things. Either a bad thermistor, a bad controller board or not enough Freon. Well, I know the charge was good because Leon had tested the unit countless times in front of me and the PSI was the same each time. I started with the cheapest item which was to purchase 3 thermistors. Tested each new thermistor and swapped them out. Upon testing the old ones, I found them to be functioning correctly but decided to leave the new ones in place anyways. Well... If the Thermistors were good and the PSI was within range, then the only other item according to Leon is the Controller board but would have to pay out of pocket since the manufacturer would not take responsibility and would charge me $678.00 for the controller. Keep in mind that i already spent thousands on the unit and the installation just to spend spend loads more on an expensive part for a brand new unit less than 1 year old. I refuse to further fund the manufacturer and decided to get the part on my own. I found a controller board from china for less than half the cost the manufacturer charged me. The part arrived ~ 3 weeks after I purchased it and went ahead that same day to swap it out. I took pictures of each part to make sure I put everything in the right place once disassembled. Long story short, I completed the swap. Also had to "de-bug" the system for it to recognize the indoor units. The whole process took me a good 3 hours. It was not cold enough to test because the temps outside were in the mid 60's so I had to wait until it got colder to turn the heat on. 3 weeks have passed where the heat needed to be used and finally started using the heater. After crossing my fingers, the unit, after 4 hours of being ran went into defrost (as it should) but came out of it as it supposed to do. It has been 3 months and not a single time did the defrost get stuck. LEON WAS RIGHT! Despite not charging me for the work/advice, he gave me the information to figure out what the problems could be. I have to say Leon was excessively patient during this whole headache and charged me not a penny more than the cost for the installation. Most installers would have said "everything on my end is good. Good luck dealing with the manufacturer" but Leon stuck around through the rough patches. He is fair on price, knowledgeable and patient. I will always use him for future reference anything HVAC related... I advise/recommend you to do the same.

Excellent service. He was the only one that message back with pricing and time availability. When I…read morecalled to schedule, I explained what was wrong with my boiler and again explained to me his pricing and he said he should be able to fix it in a reasonable amount of time. He asked if I had any heat and I said "no" and he said he would be able to come later in the evening which was beyond his business hours. He said he would call when he was on his way and once he got here he went straight to work. Very knowledgeable and has a pleasant demeanor as well as decent pricing.

Roto-Rooter was able to come out quickly and replace my old shower valve the same day after it…read morestarted leaking. The price was higher than I had hoped, but the technician completed the job professionally, adjusted the water temperature with me, and got my water back on the same day. Everything is working well so far, and I appreciate the quick response. Thank you! Update: I have to revise my original review. After the repair, I discovered that the tub spout does not sit properly against the wall, so the job was not fully completed. I was told before they left that having them come back to address the remaining finish work would cost an additional $375. After already paying $1,630 for the repair, I'm disappointed that the installation was left this way. Update: I wanted to further update my review. After I reported that the tub spout wasn't sitting properly against the wall, the original technician came back and fixed it at no additional charge. It only took a few minutes, and everything is now working properly. The tub spout stays secure, and the shower operates as it should. I still feel the repair was expensive at $1,630, but I appreciate that they stood behind their work and returned to complete the job without any hassle. Because of that, I've updated my rating back to 4 stars.

I called for a clogged kitchen drain that needed to be snaked . 20 minute job at best and the…read morewanted to charge me $689! I declined service and did it myself Total ripoff

JM General Repairs - Leaking valves could make huge damages, shutting it off it's not a fix.

*STAY AWAY**** Jorge…read morecame to our house accepted to do work We didn't even negotiate a price (he did good work for us previously) we took his price and decided to go with him. Gave him a check up front $900 9/7/2918. For him to start the project on 9/14/2018. He came did half the job cashed the check and HAS NOT RETURNED! No phone call, not returning emails NOTHING! Jorge I know you will see this. Have no idea how you sleep at night. We trusted you to come in our house and support you and your new family with giving you our business. If you needed the money and more time you could call were reasonable. To take our money and disappear is ridiculous! *STAY AWAY FROM THIS CROOK*

I got an estimate from Jorge for some basement work in early April based on his good reviews. He…read moreseemed like a nice guy, explained everything and we signed the contract. Estimated time of completion = 2 weeks. I paid him the first installment and he started right away. He worked consistently for a few days. But then the absences began - he kept me apprised at first but then he just wouldn't show up for days. It has been more than 3 months and he's still not completed the basement. I've given him a $1000 advance for another project and he has not shown up for work since. He also has $500 worth of my stuff from Ikea that he picked up but never delivered. To be fair, he did mention that he had a personal task to attend to but that was in late June and I've not heard from him since. The most frustrating part is not responding to calls and messages (I have all logs). I've explained to him several times the urgency of finishing this work but he seems to have ignored it so far. Very unprofessional!!
