What customers say
"They came out on a chilly Sunday morning as my heater wasn't working. He diagnosed the problem and was back Monday afternoon and installed the part and heater repaired. Very hardworking and personable. Highly recommend!"
— Judy Sharkey · Jan 30, 2026 · Google Reviews"I have bought two mini-splits from B&J. They did an excellent job both times. Most recently they came out and gave me a quote on a Thursday and offered to install the system the next day. That didn't fit my schedule so they came out and installed it the following week. The installation took about four hours."

Tech discovered there was a leak but was not successful to find it. Now that I'm out of labor warranty, A/C is leaking from …"

When our air conditioning system died, using B&J again was a no-brainer. Lawrence came out and did a thorough inspection and recommended a system for our house. They were able to install it a few days later. Lawrence, the installers and the office staff at B&J Refrigeration were all gr…"
