The unit is working fine now. $55.00 was the quoted service fee to come and look at it. They then said that there was a $250 charge to bring the unit to their shop, open it up, and figure out what was wrong with it. They then told me that it would be an additional $165 to actually repair what was wrong with it. The price kept changing and it ended up costing more than the unit itself. We're satisfied with the results, but the pricing was questionable.
Description of Work: They repaired an in-window A/C unit.

4. Once I was quoted a price of $175, then raising it to $300, then using my tools and me as a helper, and then to add insult to injury, asking for another $25.00 is a rip off. I finally gave him the $325 to get rid of him. 4. Mike never looked at the installation instructions (I assumed he knew what he was doing) and left off a back vent control cover which the manufacturer said was absolutely required I would not recommend M&J to anyone based upon this experience.
Description of Work: M&J Mechanical installed new A/C through the wall using an existing sleeve. New unit was smaller that old unit being replaced so empty space was filled with 2x4 on top and trim molding on sides.. I called M&J based upon good recommendations in Angie's list, and spoke to Mike directly. I described the job including the difficulties involved - the door (height) and the obvious requirement for a ladder. I also mentioned that the new A/C was smaller than the old A/C so that it would certainly fit through the existing sleeve. Mike quoted me $175 over the phone, and I authorized the installation. Mike arrived 1-1/2 hours later - the same day - which was a plus. However Mike came with no tools, no helper and no ladder. Mike is 70 years old with some health issues. I also told Mike that in my opinion ( I am an engineer) that it was a two man job and he would need an assistant because of the height and weight of the old unit (9000 btu). When Mike arrived and evaluated the work he raised his quote to $300 cash. After some argument I agreed. Mike used my ladder (two ladders) my tools, we found and cut my wood using my radial arm saw framing and filling the gaps because the new A/C was smaller. I functioned as Mike's "helper" fetching my tools, ladders and powering up the radial arm saw. Mike did not even have a tape measure and used mine. Once the job was complete Mike insisted that I pay him an extra $25 for a total of $325. I naturally argued with him and complained about the price increase, and his dealing in bad faith. I also told Mike that I would give him a bad review on Angie's list, and here it is. 1. This guy is too old to lift a 100 lb A/C unit. 2. I should not be required to be his unpaid helper 3. Mike should have come prepared with the tools necessary - based upon his extensive experience to do the job

Description of Work: We installed central air for your home. It went well. They are a young company and Mike said he has been doing this job for more than ten years. They know what they were doing and were professional in instructing us on how to operate and adjust the temperature from our new A/C. They left every thing clean. My only complain is the wiring for the unit had to be placed along side of my duct work, other wise I can say my house is nice and cold, and the unit is running fine.
