On July 26, 2016, my air conditioning unit stopped working. JDL HVAC responded within 10 minutes. JDL touted their good reviews on the internet. This company makes sure that they are the first to make contact with customers. The JDL technician diagnosed the problem as a bad capacitor, which he quoted a replacement at $385.00. The technician put a new capacitor in the unit, it ran for approx. 5 min, then stopped. When the unit stopped running the tech tried to sale me a $250 cleaning, I declined.
I was then told that the unit was hot and leaking oil, which I never observed. I was then quoted $4,000 for a new unit. I decided to get a second opinion. The second company diagnosed the problem as a bad duel cap (capacitor) on condenser. The replacement cap was $121.00. In addition, the second company replaced and tested, cleaned the filter, cleared the drain, and checked the unit pressor. The total cost with the second company, including the diagnoses fee of $99.00, was $220.00. I wasted $100.00 with JDL and could have loss thousands if I had not gotten a second opinion. I will never use JDL again.
So I hired JDL as an emergency hire when my AC went out, they came right away. They charged me for a diagnostic and a travel fee. They misdiagnosed the problem and said I needed a new compressor/motor. And it would be $700 for the repair. They came the next day and put in the new motor and said it wasn't working and my entire unit was shot and needed replaced, which would cost thousands. When they left they took my old motor and left the unit disassembled so it was impossible to even get a second opinion. In their process of checking my unit. They drained all my Freon. Making it even more difficult to get a proper opinion. I had to have my new contractor tell them on the phone that it was their responsibility to leave my unit as they saw it originally. They sent a random guy who could barely speak English the next day to put in the old "broken" motor. So after all the hassle to get them to fix the damage they caused. I ended up calling BGEhome and they got the unit and "broken" motor running fine. For a fraction of what JDL quoted. So I'm down The diagnostic and travel fee. With nothing but bunch of not needed stress. If you want to be over charged for problems that don't exist these are the guys.
