We had the pleasure of working with John and his company JBN MECHANICAL this past winter. Our 15 year old heat pump (connected as part of a heat pump/gas furnace combination) finally gave out and we contacted his firm for a quote. We did our research on different brands and systems prior to calling several local firms for quotes. While many of the brands are good, some are better. However, the resounding them from online sources was/is this: Most products are good/fairly equivalent, but the success of any system comes from the quality of the installation. A poor install will surely create problems down the road. Guaranteed. With this in mind we fielded some quotes.
John promptly came to our home, evaluated our situation (home size, heating/cooling needs, etc) and then offered us several options to choose from. Each option came with candid pluses/minuses, and he also educated us on the merits and disadvantages of each option. None of the other companies took such time with us to help us understand what our home needed.
After evaluating the JBN quote, and comparing it to others, we made the decision to go with JBN. The thoroughness of the discussion around our situation, what would work best, and the clear level of detail regarding the installation is what sold us. Other companies either offered us a system which was so cheap it was too good to be true, or like another, tried to direct us towards one of the cookie cutter options out of their brochure. JBN offered us a well thought out solution based on our home and needs.
On installation day, John and his JBN team arrived on time, and finished well before he said they were likely to be done. The work area in our basement was swept and cleaned up nicely, and they removed all of the previous equipment for disposal.
JBN offers Bryant systems for Heat Pumps in general, and the system we purchased has been wonderful. It is quiet, efficient, and very easy to operate. The included thermostat came with an app for our phones, and we can now change the operation of the system from anywhere. Similarly we can see and track our energy usage within the app and thermostat. It is a cutting edge system.
John was sure to fill out our Energy Rebate form and provide it to us when the work was completed. All in all a detailed approach with the customer in mind all the way through.
If you are in need of a new residential heating system, please be sure to include JBN Mechanical as one of the musts for your quote process. If you do that, you too will see that the old adage of "you get what you pay for..." could never be truer. JBN IS THE WAY TO GO. read more
