I called James on Tuesday (he was on vacation) and told him what I needed and he came to repair two refrigerators on Wednesday morning at 8:00. He knows what he's doing, he didn't waste time and he is professional and pleasant. read more

Honest and Knowledgeable--Highly Recommended! We have a through-the-wall air conditioner which started to make some new noises when turned off. I called JB Refrigeration. As it was not an emergency (not a hot spell), he came out a few days later and after listening to my AC, diagnosed the problem. We discussed several alternatives (being an older, cheaper unit and he wasn't sure he could even fix it), we settled on one (no repair) and we were done. I was impressed with his overall knowledge and the fact that he was willing to discuss a no repair option (for the time being and until it went completely kaput). This gives me time to research getting a replacement unit. He even offered to come back and help with the install if needed. In a heart beat, I would call him back if needed. read more

James is the guy. Really tough to find commercial refer techs and JB checks ALL THE BOXES: responsive, on time, experienced, and understanding. Plus really nice dude. read more

James is really a commercial refrigeration person, but during the holidays, all the people who repair home appliances were completely booked, so I called him on the chance he could help. My Frigidaire Gallery was showing a weird code and was getting warmer by the minute. He figured out what was wrong, ordered the part (which took three days to come) and installed it. He was communicative, tidy, and wore a mask. I'm glad to have found him when no one else was available for weeks. read more

James responded to my AC service request on Sat, 7/8/17 when it was very hot. He told me he come to my home on Sunday as he was very busy Sat. He showed up Sunday morning, diagnosed the problem and said he would be back on Monday after he got the part he needed. He gave me a preliminary estimate. Monday morning he showed up as promised, performed the repair at the price he gave on Sunday. What he did: Returned my 1st call within 1 hour on Sat. Said he would come on Sunday morning. Showed up at the time promised Sunday and gave me a preliminary estimate Showed up Monday at the time promised, performed the repair at the price estimated. James is not a "discount" or "cheap" service provider. You will pay a fair market rate for his time. He is a young professional who does quality work. You get what you pay for. THE GOOD: On time. professional and honest THE BAD: Nothing I can and will recommend James Bueno to anyone who needs Refrigeration and HVAC services. Ed Diaz read more

I definitely recommend JB refrigeration for your HVAC needs. James was courteous, dependable, and a great problem solver. He recently completed the relocation of my furnace to my attic, and all of the associated venting and duct work. I really appreciated that he was very communicative; talking me through every step of the job, what hours he would be working, what he would be doing, and bringing me in when important decisions had to be made. I do not take five-star-ratings lightly, but JB Refrigeration deserves it. Thanks, James! read more

James has been incredibly responsive and helpful. He solves problems quickly and is very reliable. I have had him on speed dial for the past couple of years and am sorry to see him move up north. He has been in Ventura county for a long time and I know he will do great work in nor-cal as well. Don't hesitate to call him for any HVAC/refrigeration repairs! read more

Hi Everyone, I just wanted to share what a great experience we had with JB Refrigeration. We had a few warm days this week and our compressor was working over-time. It was on it's last leg and went kaput during a very busy time! Being a flower business, it is important our flowers stay cool and we called James for help. James was pro-active and found our model compressor right away and drove out to Sonoma to get it for us, installed it and got us up and running the next day. He is super professional, kind a priced fairly. His expertise is of commercial refrigeration, coolers, ice machines, exhaust hoods, etc. We highly recommend James Bueno 415.720-6254. jamesbueno805@gmail.com We are so pleased with James' service that we have asked him to maintain our coolers every few months so that they stay in good shape for more years. Thank you James! read more

Highly recommend. James came out to do a same day quote. He was punctual and did a thorough diagnostic on all the items I requested he even made small fixes on the spot. He was very knowledgeable and very reasonably priced. Will definitely call him again when I have refrigeration or HVAC needs. Thanks James! read more

I've known James for several years now and was very happy to hear that he had gone out on his own to start his HVAC and refrigeration company. James is very honest, trustworthy and does excellent work. His response time is quick and he is very thorough in his explanations of the job that needs to be done. I would highly recommend JB refrigeration!! read more

My husband found JB Refrigeration online and we were so pleased! James came by, installed a new thermostat and cleaned my commercial refrigerator that I use for my floral design company. He was so friendly and very knowledgable about the inner workings of a fridge. I was so pleased with his service and definitely recommend him for all your fridge needs! He was able to answer all my questions and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was working properly before he left. I am very thankful for him! My flowers thank him for saving them from this heat! read more

I have a condo that was built in the 70's that had an original heater that was very unreliable and dangerous. I should have had it replaced when I bought the condo but didn't realize how bad it really was. I got bids from three contractors one being James the owner of JB refrigeration. I am extremely picky and hate the mess that contractors can make I also due to past projects never trust them. When I met James he seemed to have such a pleasant easy way about him that I found myself trusting him right away. He gave me a detailed and fair proposal . James gave me an option of soundproofing the closet that the furnace would be in since the heater is right beside my bedroom. James and his very nice helper showed up on time and put tarps everywhere to protect my floors. James took out the old heater installed the new one, soundproofed the closet and he even spray painted the pipe on the roof. The space to do this job was extremely limited and on a second floor but when the job was finished and I looked around the place was spotless and not one mark anywhere. I review on Yelp often and its not often I can give five stars but I can today. I have found the best electrician and handyman in Ventura and now I found James. I highly recommend him he is honest, trustworthy, cares about his work and fair with his prices. read more
