    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.

    My initial experience has been good. I called them because my steam radiator has been extremely…read morenoisy lately. The diagnostic cost was $200. The technician spent a couple of hours diagnosing the issue and was thorough and communicative. The technician on site was not 100% conversant in English but it was important to him that I understood the problem and he did an admirable job explaining it. Then Alex called me to explain it again and his explanation was consistent with the technician's. He emailed me a detailed description of the problem along with a proposed solution and clear pricing. I paid the $200 diagnostic fee via Zelle. Unfortunately, my boiler needed several new parts in order to be safe to operate (news to me as I had just had a maintenance visit from another provider 3 month prior). The technician was emphatic that I not run the system until the problem was corrected. I understand that the team drove out of state to retrieve the necessary parts for me so that my family would not be without heat overnight. They returned the same day and installed the parts. Again, I paid the sizable but reasonable repair cost via Zelle. The team was careful to explain to me that this safety/pressure problem was not the reason for the noisy pipes! So, they fixed the dangerous issue but still needed to do a valve replacement. They came the next day to replace the valve and found that a more involved job would be necessary because of the age and condition of the radiator battery in my bedroom. But, they explained that they could not do the extensive work in the cold weather because of a risk to the pipes and a possibility that we would be without heat for an extended period of time. They replaced what they could and said they would do a more complete job in the spring when the weather is warmer. So, my pipes are still noisy and I spent a lot of money but at least my boiler is safe to operate. Assuming that they are able to complete the repair job in the spring at a reasonable cost and with the same timeliness that I have experienced so far, I will be happy to continue working with them. It is refreshing to deal with a repair company that handles client communication in such a professional manner. Everyone was careful about wet shoes and mess and all of that, which was also welcome.

    Alex is awesome! Professional and friendly and does an amazing job! We've used him twice already…read more First, we hired him to fix one of our condensers. Then we hired him to clean our five units. Great job! Highly recommend.
