"I had Kevin of S&K repair my A/C condenser. He did a thorough check of my system, did the repair, and everything is working fine. It turned out to be a minor repair, and they did not pressure me, or upsell me any services I did not want (really appreciated that!) I would definitely recommend this company to others."

"Excellent service, very fast response to my request for service, picked up laptop, diagnosed issues. Initially thought it was an OS update issue but the hard drive had failed along with other components (including 'CPU). Because other components were involved, a new solid state hard drive was put into a laptop with a working processor - same type CPU as in the failed unit. The laptop was repaired and returned in less than a week. This company picked up and dropped off the laptop (driving from Huntsville, AL (about 60-70 minutes)-- great service in this covid environment. I would recommend this company to my family./friends and will use again."

"Their services straightened up my drain and completely fixed my problem without having to dig up my floor. He used a jet wash high pressure water spray wash that cleaned out the interior drain.  He also sent a camera down the sewer line to check and see the rest of the drain. In addition, he gave me the advice on what to do with the sewer line and I thought that was nice of him to do that."

Hi Tech gave an estimate over the phone and explained what would be included as part of cleaning furnace duct work.  Included in the price was to also clean the dryer vent while they were here.  They cut a hole in the bottom of the furnace, hooked up a large machine and began the duct cleaning.  They went around to each vent and cleaned them.  They also deodorized the vents. They put a cover over the hole in the furnace once they completed the work.

 It took quite awhile and so I spent the time working on the computer while they were here.  It went well and it was obvious that a cleaning was needed due to the amount of dirt extracted.  I noticed an improvement in the smell of the air and generally less dust but there wasn't as much change in the amount of dust in the house as I had hoped there would be. 

All in all I was content with the job even though the cost seemed rather high.  A former employee of theirs referred me to them and so I felt I could trust them. 

However, 3 months later when my dryer needed service, the technician told me that my dryer vent was clogged and not enough air was getting sucked out the dryer vent because it had not been cleaned in a long time.  He explained that the vent goes up into the attic and then to the outside.   I called Hi Tech because I didn't remember seeing the Hi Tech technicians go into the attic to clean the dryer vent when they were here as promised but at the time, I didn't think to ask them about it until after they had already left.  Hi Tech said that dryer vent cleaning was not written on my invoice and, therefore, they have no record of promising to clean the vent and so they did not clean it.  They refused to come back and clean the vent unless I paid an additional $140 which was about $20 more than their competitors charge.  I didn't think that was fair so I went with the competitor on the dryer vent cleaning. 

Maybe I should have stood by and watched more closely everything their technicians did.  Maybe I should have double checked the receipt they gave me.  Maybe I should have remembered to ask about the dryer vent cleaning before they left.  Lesson learned but the fact is, we had a verbal agreement over the phone of what would be included and it wasn't done.  I think they should have honored that verbal agreement or at least given me a discount on coming back out to clean the dryer vent.  Since they didn't, I probably won't use them in the future.

"On 7-29-2021 I put a post out on my local FB Community Page. Dan Sizemore with Jacobs Mechanical responded to my post and direct messaged me via FB Messenger. The fan on my external AC unit was not engaging and the temperature in my home had reached a stuffy 81 degrees. My fiancé and I have an eleven month old daughter who is in a Spica cast (essential a body cast from her chest to her toes) so it is critical to keep her cool. We had to camp her out in our basement the night before in her pack and play instead of her bedroom due to the rising temperature and her tendency to sweat. I was unable to call the office to set the appointment because I was on a four hour conference call I couldn't break away from. Using the unconventional methods of scheduling between FB Messenger and work emails Dan was able to coordinate his technician to arrive within minutes of when my conference call ended. Aaron, The Jacobs Mechanical technician showed up, assessed my problem and dove into fixing it. He was extremely thorough, explained what he was doing, showed me why it was failing and once maintenance was completed and he verified everything was functional and back together, left without a trace of ever being at my home. The effort made my Dan and his team to shift their appointments around due to my unique situation and prioritize my request on top of his teams professionalism and cleanliness has made Jacobs Mechanical my preferred HVAC Contractor. Jacobs mechanical epitomizes professionalism, cleanliness, product knowledge and most importantly they show up on time and are eager to get the job done and get you back on track. I would urge anyone who is having any HVAC issues to reach out to Jacobs and speak to Dan."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Independence, KY

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.
