"If i could give zero stars i would have. We paid almost $12,000 back in October for them install a new system in our home. Since then we have failed county inspection 3 times. The techs who come out all have different stories and excuses. The electrician who came out last time Donald informed us of how terrible his own company was and how he planned to quit. Me and my mother have taken countless days off work for them to come bandaid the problems instead of fixing them costing us even more money for missing work. Last Monday we failed for the 3rd time so I reached out AGAIN to the cooperate office and here we are 7 days later with no response and issue still not addressed This will be reported to the BBB, Angie's list will be reported for false advertising because the reviews under this company's name are actually for a company they bought out action 9 will be involved if this isn't the last time I have to deal with these people. It's the most unprofessional experience I've had with any HVAC company and I'm very disappointed in how they conduct themselves and their business please home owners beware!!"

C J A Mechanical is a family owned business who wants to make you a part of our family and not just know you as an account number. We want to help make your life easier by giving you the peace of mind that we will be there when you call. We are always willing to accommodate whether it's your schedule or fiances that are the issue.

"Extremely Poor Service Experience I recently had a deeply disappointing experience with CJA MECHANICAL LLC through our home warranty company. The technician who came for the service call spent the entire time pressuring us to agree to $6,000 in upgrades, which he wanted us to pay directly to him. We made it clear that we were not interested in any upgrades and simply wanted the standard repair or replacement of the problematic equipment. At this point, the technician's attitude changed drastically. He became disinterested and unhelpful. Worse still, he provided false information to our home warranty company, which led to our claims being denied. This left us without a resolution to our HVAC issues and feeling extremely frustrated with the dishonest and unprofessional service we received. I would not recommend CJA MECHANICAL LLC to anyone looking for honest and reliable HVAC services. Our experience was marked by high-pressure sales tactics, lack of professionalism, and unethical behavior. Save yourself the trouble and look elsewhere for your HVAC needs."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Effort, PA

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
