Can't say enough about how great these guys are. We had a difficult challenge to install a/c in a house built in 1928. They did a fantastic job and so neat and courteous. One of the concerns we had heard from others who installed central a/c in an old home was that the temperature was not equal in all rooms. Not the case with us. All rooms maintain exact temperature. Would highly recommend them. It's even a pleasure to see them once a year when they come out for our tuneup!!

Frequently Asked Questions About JLB Mechanical Heating & Cooling, Inc.
What HVAC services does JLB Mechanical offer?
JLB Mechanical provides comprehensive HVAC services including installation, repair, and maintenance for heating and air conditioning systems. Our offerings extend to custom ductwork design and installation, geothermal systems, mini-split HVAC units, whole-house air systems, and duct cleaning services.
How often should my HVAC system be serviced?
For optimal performance, it is advisable to have your HVAC system serviced bi-annually. We suggest scheduling maintenance for AC systems prior to the cooling season and for furnaces before the heating season begins.
How do I know if I need to replace my HVAC system?
Replacement may be necessary if your HVAC system is 10-15 years or older, requires constant repairs, or fails to efficiently heat or cool your home. These factors often indicate that a new system would be more cost-effective and efficient.
What types of heating systems do you service and install?
Our service and installation capabilities cover a wide range of heating systems, including furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, geothermal heating solutions, and ductless mini-split heating systems.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Several factors could cause a furnace to blow cold air, such as a malfunctioning thermostat, an air filter clogged with debris, or problems with the pilot light or ignition system. We recommend contacting our team for professional diagnosis and repair.
How can I improve my heating efficiency?
To enhance heating efficiency, consider implementing regular maintenance, addressing ductwork leaks, upgrading to a more efficient system, and utilizing a programmable thermostat. These measures can significantly improve your heating system's performance.
What types of air conditioning systems do you install?
Our air conditioning installation services encompass central air conditioning systems, ductless mini-split AC units, geothermal cooling systems, and comprehensive whole-house air conditioning solutions.
How can I tell if my air conditioner needs repairs?
Indicators that your air conditioner may require repairs include the emission of warm air, reduced airflow, unusual noises during operation, frequent on-off cycling, or unexpectedly high energy bills.
What size air conditioner do I need for my home?
Determining the appropriate air conditioner size involves considering various factors such as your home's square footage, insulation quality, and local climate conditions. Our technicians can perform a thorough assessment to recommend the most suitable unit for your specific needs.
What is a geothermal heating and cooling system?
A geothermal system is an energy-efficient HVAC solution that utilizes underground loop systems to exchange heat between your home and the earth. This method provides highly effective heating and cooling while minimizing energy consumption.
Are geothermal systems expensive to install?
While the initial installation cost is higher than traditional HVAC systems, geothermal systems offer significant energy savings and tax incentives, making them a cost-effective choice long-term.
How long do geothermal systems last?
The underground loops can last 50+ years, and the heat pump unit typically lasts 20-25 years with proper maintenance.
What are mini-split HVAC systems?
Mini-split systems are ductless heating and cooling units that provide temperature control for individual rooms or zones.
What are the benefits of a mini-split system?
They offer energy efficiency, flexibility, quiet operation, and the ability to control different zones independently.
Do mini-splits require ductwork?
No, mini-splits are ductless, making them ideal for older homes, room additions, and spaces where duct installation is impractical.
What is a whole-house air system?
Whole-house air systems include ventilation, air purifiers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers designed to improve indoor air quality.
How can I improve my home’s indoor air quality?
Regular duct cleaning, installing air purifiers, using high-efficiency air filters, and maintaining proper humidity levels can improve air quality.
Do air purifiers help with allergies?
Yes, air purifiers remove dust, pollen, pet dander, and other allergens from the air, helping to reduce allergy symptoms.
How often should I have my air ducts cleaned?
We recommend duct cleaning every 3-5 years or more often if you have allergies, pets, or excessive dust buildup.
What are the benefits of duct cleaning?
Duct cleaning improves air quality, increases HVAC efficiency, reduces allergens, and helps remove mold, dust, and contaminants from your air system.
