"Bob Jenson sent 2 installers to put in 3 more mini splits this past Monday. Tony Guardarrama and Pouria arrived on time both Monday and Tuesday. They did an excellent job and I am very satisfied. It was not an easy installation, but they somehow managed to get it all done and no messes were left behind. I wholeheartedly recommend Bob Jenson AC & Heating."

"Great job. Anthony did a complete review of the house and the current venting and recommended the proper size for the AC. The installers and electricians came 3 days later, did additional wiring and piping and installed the entire system in 5 hours."

Hydro jet uses water at 4,000psi to clean the inside of the mainline drain which connects all the home's drains to the city's sewer system.
Using a snake we can go through the cleanouts on the side of the house.
With the cleanouts snaked, and the blockage located, we can send the hydro jet through the sewer vent and flush out the blocked drain.

"I had a great experience working with Cool Air Technologies. Bill and Trish McIntosh are fantastic. Great personal service and super friendly. When I first met Bill, I explained to him that I had recently purchased a new home and was in the process of making some upgrades to my existing home so I could covert it to a rental. I didn't have any air conditioning so that was my priority but I was considering replacing the original furnace at the same time if the price made sense. However, I didn't want to invest in a high end system since I wasn't going to be living there myself. Bill quoted me a great price for the A/C and new furnace so it made financial sense to do them both at the same time. One of my other quotes was literally double for the same scope of work. Bill came in with his crew and they were professional and efficient and completed both A/C and furnace installs in about 7 hours, including running all new piping and electrical for the A/C. I would absolutely recommend Cool Air Technologies and the personal service that Bill and Trish provide and I will definitely be giving them a call in the future for my new home. Thanks Bill for the great work!"

"The company was great. Leo was responsive. The person that did the install was very professional and communicative. I liked how Leo came by afterwards to inspect the work that was done to make sure everything was done correctly and up to code. I’d hire again."

"Excellent! Jerry is the owner. Very honest, fair and customer focused. Had patience with my many questions. Always returned my calls and emails. Sean did the install and was meticulous and exact. The attic area is amazingly clean and the work was done to perfection. Very happy with the quality, service and price. Would highly recommend Liberty Plumbing if you are interested in top quality workmanship and a contractor whose word means something. We did select the newest American Standard variable speed AC but feel the investment was worth it. We never do things half way!"

"Josh Medina was very professional in his assessment of my job, was prompt in providing a quotation, and did the installation in less than a day. The price not only was less than four competitors, but also included an upgrade to a two-stage system. I could not be more pleased with the entire job, start to finish. These guys know what they are doing."
