I strongly recommend hiring a licensed and reputable professional. I hired Jorje last summer to install a new HVAC system, and since the installation, I have experienced ongoing and significant issues. Despite multiple attempts to resolve these problems, Jorje has been unresponsive.
I have since hired two independent HVAC companies to inspect the system. Both identified multiple installation deficiencies, including a kinked copper line, a unit that wasn't charged, and improperly installed ductwork. As a result, the system has failed to perform as expected. During the summer, the air coming from the vents did blow below 72 degrees, thus the home does not cool and in the winter, the system has not produced adequate heat.
The estimated cost to correct the improper installation and properly charge the system exceeds $4,000. I have attempted to contact Jorje on several occasions. On two separate instances, he agreed to come out to address the issues but failed to show up and did not provide any communication or explanation.
At this point, I am exploring legal options and have filed a formal complaint with Contractor's State Licensing Board. I strongly advise others to avoid this contractor and hire a qualified HVAC installer. read more
