+ 0 moreBasically it was out of balance and was going to go out anytime. I called Joel and as promised he showed up exactly at the time he said he would. He clearly told me what the problem was and mentioned that he had the part in his van and could replace it ASAP. Within no time Joel crawled into this tight space and replaced the unit. He also looked at the igniter and other part to verify everything was OK. This is the 3rd time I have interacted with Joel over 5 years. Simply an awesome guys. I would definitely use his services again.
Description of Work: My furnace motor was making a weird noise. Joel replaced the blower motor.

Description of Work: Replaced a smoking relay overload start run capacitator. When the old one went out it smelled like an electrical fire.

+ -1 moreThe next day he showed up promptly. Asked me what was going on. Told him the whole story and he checked the unit. Basically visually inspected the fridge. Checked the temp and everything looked fine. He then checked the door swing and said that someone must have left the door ajar by accident which may have caused the alarm. He asked me to monitor if the temp goes down and give him a call. I asked him how much for the service call and he said don't worry as he was in the neighborhood. I am not complimenting him because he did not charge me but because I really feel this guy is honest and others need to learn from this gentleman. Very simple but good at what he does. I will definitely do business with him and recommend him to all my friends. They love him too.
Description of Work: My refrigerator was acting up. I was under the impression that the fridge was not cooling the food within. I have a 18 month old who depends on his milk and stuff that is kept within the fridge. i panicked and called Joel as I have used his services before to great satisfaction. I called him at about 8:00pm and left him a VM. He promptly called me back within 10 min (that is what his VM says). He said he was handling other customers and the could come the next day early in the morning. I agreed.

+ -1 moreJOEL IS AWESOME. I called him this morning at 9am, he returned my call quickly. I told him that the freezer was defrosting etc. and that we were in a bind because we were leaving town in the afternoon. He said he'd be here before then. He called 15 min before arriving and well before the time I told him we needed to leave. After pulling the fridge out and running some tests he informed me that the compressor was going out and that it'd take at least a week to get a new part, and that it would not be worth it to fix since it'd be $550 and our fridge is 10 years old. Of course I was sad our fridge was dead but then Joel made some great recommendations on where and what kind of fridge to get. After all this great stuff he says "No Charge." I couldn't believe it. What wonderful service and a sweet guy. I've used his service once before and I will continue to call him time and time again! AWESOME. THANK YOU JOEL!
Description of Work: The fridge is not cooling. The freezer is defrosting. Joel came out and looked behind the fridge with some gadgets.

+ -1 moreJoel was awesome. Came out asap, fixed the problem quickly, and I thought it was a fair price for parts and service. I am actually writing this review because he predicted that the fix would only last a year and if the same thing happened again that I'd need to replace the fridge. Well, the fridge lost it's cool again and my freezer is currently defrosting. I'm waiting for Joel to call back so I can have him come fix it again!
Description of Work: Frigidaire refrigerator lost cool in both freezer and fridge side. Joel came out and replaced the compressor right away.

Description of Work: Friday morning i found that my Refrigerator was not cooling the food within. The Milk has gone bad and it did not seem to function well. the compressor would not come on. I called the manufacturer and that said that the earliest someone could come out was Tuesday of the following week. Look up YELP for a review on a person who could fix this and to my bad luck the guy came to the house, removed and replaced a capacitor and said wait for 24 hrs for the Fridge to work again. Guess what, 24 hours later there was no improvement. I was upset and looked for another person to fix the issue. Came across ADAMS and boy it was the best thing that happened to my refrigerator. The guy came as he promised, look at the fridge and immediately told me what the issue was and gave me 2 options. I went with option one and he took care of the problem. He charged me fairly and did a great job. Very honest and straight forward. I referred him to a few other people and they were all impressed and super happy. I would recommend him to anyone.

+ -1 moreOur refrigerator quit working which we did not realize until dinner time. I called Adam's based on reviews from Angie's list hoping he would be able to at least come out the next day to fix our refrigerator. However, he did better then that. He answered the phone right away and even though it was already 7:00 pm at this point, he said he would be over in an hour to hour and a half to take a look. He called when he was a few minutes away and was able to assess the problem with our refrigerator and fix it that night. My husband and I were so impressed with how fast they responded and saved us from having to throw away a refrigerator full of food. He had the parts needed to fix our refrigerator with him, and was in and out in a little over an hour. He also made some minor adjustments, such as leveling and tightening the door so it self closes. I do not know much about refrigerators but the price seemed very fair. We would definitely recommend and use again.
Description of Work: Adam's Refrigeration fixed our refrigerator that was no longer keeping food cold.

+ -1 moreI called Adams to ask about a coil/compressor cleaning and he was completely honest and told me that it just needed a quick vacuum and not to spend unnecessary money on a technician. It's not everyday that someone gives it to you straight like this. If something does happen I'll definitely call Adams refrigeration.

+ -1 moreThe gentleman that came out was pretty straightforward. He said that he could fix the problem but that it would cost $300 or so. He said that the cost to replace the part wasn’t worth it, and so, as per his suggestion, I ended up buying a new refrigerator. All he charged me was the cost to come out here to take a look at it. I would use him in the future, if necessary.

Adam's Ref had reasonable charges and offered to call my tenant to arrange a time to meet He did so, and the whole thing was resolved the same day. My tenant said he was very nice, personable and punctual. Adam's Ref called me to let me know how the situation was resolved. It couldn't have gone more smoothly.
