J A Mechanical

Excellent service, knowledgeable, on time– I am very happy to have found John.
After reading a favorable review by a neighbor on my electronic neighborhood bulletin board, we decided to give JA Mechanical HVAC a try and I am glad that we did.
The owner/​operator John Ambrose came out to our house this morning to diagnose our ailing Heating unit (20 years old). John was (justifiably so) aghast at the kluge design of the unit it due to some repairs from 17 years ago (it was before we owned the house, but my understanding is that many of the Carriers in the neighborhood had a bad circuit board, so Warmington’s people replaced the circuit boards but they put them back in the wrong place– in with the heating element instead of above the blower!). I appreciated John explaining this to us and showing us how our downstairs unit was fine, while the upstairs unit had this bad design going on. Rather than rush to replace the whole unit (which has a number of little problems– rust, terrible filter position, etc), John cleaned out the dust, go the unit going again and was fine with a «we will fix it when it really breaks all the way» strategy. Wow!
He spent over one hour looking at both units and did not charge for today. Wow again. Of course, we will call him and have him replace the unit when it is time.
BTW, doing due diligence, I looked up his contractor license number (801 947) at
and it is indeed valid (of course!), since 2001. He also carries workmen’s comp for his employees, which I think is super important (sometimes small business owners claim that they are the only employee. If that happens and one of their workers is hurt on your property, that is not good.
My neighbor had reported that John was always onsite with the 2 guys that work for him, so you know who you are hiring. John confirmed this to be the case.
