Brian M.
Second opinion, on Google

“If I could give Jeremy 10 stars I would. We had an emergency on one of the hottest days of the year with renters staying at our home. In less than 24 hours we were up and running with a new compressor. He knew how desperate it was to make things right and he made it happen. We work in property management and having reliable honest subs is imperative to our success. Bravo and a standing ovation for a job well done and service that went above and beyond what anyone else would have done.”

A new cap was installed and fireplace now is working beautifully. Jeremy gets things done! He is on time and communicates about what needs to be done.

I called Jeremy at J&J and he had it hooked up in no time! Even though he wasn't the one to sell me the unit, he was solution oriented and he took his time to understand the model I have and hook it up. Nice guy, easy process, easy to schedule, reasonably priced.”

Alexis M.

Holly S.
Gas fireplace repair, on Google

“Based on the existing 5-star reviews, I called J & J Heating to give me a quote for closing off a heating duct before my kitchen remodel, and for an opinion on my gas fireplace insert. Jeremy came out and cleaned my fireplace insert, so it now looks almost new. He told me what I could do to make it work better for me, and he also checked out my heating system, including inserting a new filter. Jeremy is one of the nicest service providers that I've ever had at my house! Given that I am in the process of collecting bids for my kitchen and bath remodel, Jeremy also provided me with the names of contractors whom he recommends and has worked with. He will be following up with a quote for the additional heating system and fireplace insert work. If you need anything done to do with HVAC or a gas fireplace insert, look no further and call J & J now!”

“Jeremy came to do an inspection of our chimney. He was right on time and was very friendly and knowledgeable. He discussed several options and even took the time to do a water test with a hose to try to determine what was causing moisture down our chimney. I would call him out again if I had any chimney issues.”

Robert K.
Chimney inspection, on Google

“We had installed a direct vent wall furnace, a direct replacement for one that had died. The pilot on the new furnace would shut off after a day or two. After a brief attempt at repair, the company that hooked it up refused to follow up with the manufacturer and suggested that we replace it with a much more expensive unit. I contacted J&J after a referral from a friend and Jeremy came out to see if he could help. After attempting a couple of things recommended by the manufacturer with no success, he continued to work with the manufacturer on a solution. I might add that he had some poor customer service from the manufacturer in returning his calls, texts and emails, but he stuck with it to final resolution. Thank you Jeremy”

Kent R.
Direct vent wall furnace, on Google

“My AC went out on a very hot Labor Day weekend, I called Jeremy, and he made a house call fifteen minutes later. He diagnosed the problem and was able to do a temporary fix until the part store opened on Tuesday. I'm so grateful!”

“On one of those rare very hot days in Santa Barbara, our AC only lasted about an hour and the house quickly became unbearable. Jeremy was on the spot within 1 1/2 hours, diagnosed the problem in 10 minutes, went to get the part, returned and completed the repair in under 15 minutes and we suddenly had a comfortable house again. The charges were reasonable for the work done. In my book, that's fabulous service! And did I also mention that Jeremy is a very nice, friendly, and hard working fellow? If I could give him 10 stars, I would.”

Tom S.

“Jeremy is very responsible, easy to stay in touch on order details, schedule, referrals, and did a great job overall. We're happy with him & our new fireplace, thanks!”

“Wow, Jeremy is highly responsive, extremely efficient, and knowledgeable. The AC was failing at our business going into a hot weekend. He answered my call, arrived the same day, fixed multiple problems, and got everything running in less than an hour. He also pointed out another system we were not using and demonstrated how to use it to improve the humidity in the building. All this was done after another company had worked on the same system for hours without finding a problem. What an incredible resource.”

Wally A.
Commercial AC repair, on Google

“A few months ago, we contacted J&J's Heating and AC to work on our 5 year old Real Fyre gas log fireplace. The switch box and battery box was not working and damaged. Jeremy immediately responded to my service request and scheduled an appointment to service within a few days. Jeremy & James showed up and were able to fix the issue on the spot. They also explained features with our two fireplaces that we didn't even know we had. Our fireplace continues to work perfectly! We would highly recommend J & J's Heating and AC, not only for heating and AC, but for gas fireplace repair. They are reasonably priced, professional, and very nice to work with. Excellent customer service. We will definitely be calling them again when needed. Thank you Jeremy and James!!”

  • Mention what stood out: communication, the crew, the cleanup, the price.
  • Add the town if you like, so neighbors can place it.
  • Photos help. Share only ones you are comfortable showing.
  • Be honest. If something wasn't right, call us first so we can fix it.
