Puchica Heating & Air LLC

We completed a major renovation of our house and Satch installed two split unit systems for our basement apartment and a large central heating and cooling unit upstairs. This included the two inside heat pump units, the freon lines, drainage system, and outdoor compressor for the downstairs unit, gas fired heating unit and outdoor condensing unit for the upstairs. Satch is a true professional. He tested all the systems, explained everything he was doing, worked with us to change the system when we wanted to move it in our plans, and showed up several times on nights and weekends to troubleshoot and stuck around until everything worked right.For example, he changed the blower for us for free because we wanted something quieter than originally specified. He was working with us through our general contractor, who hires great subcontractors like him, but he also does work independently. He works hard, and cares a lot about doing the job right. He really went the extra mile for us. Overall, we renovated the entire house, taking out two boilers and a dozen or so radiators and creating central HVAC, removing all load bearing walls, digging out a front entrance, etc. The total job was about $170,000, but I am not sure the portion for Satch?s work was, as HVAC was only one relatively small task. It was certainly very reasonable and we had priced other companies to see if we wanted to use our GC or not for the job, but the price was very fair and the service was truly exceptional.We highly recommend him.

Overall I was very pleased. This is the third or fourth time I used this gentleman. I used him originally to install my outside unit. The second or third time he was out he showed me how to fix the problem myself. His rates are more then fair and he has come out twice on weekends.

I thought I needed to buy a new a/c system because it neither heated or cooled the house properly. Previous a/c companies had quoted me huge sums for a complete replacement (over $3000). Satch teaches a/c maintenance at trade schools so I thought he might have a broader perspective on the problem. He tested the system and recognized that too much freon was in the system. He also discovered that the heat pack in the air handler had been incorrectly wired. Both these were fixed and today my a/c is running 5 Centigrade cooler. Furthermore It will be warmer in winter because the heat pump and heat pack will produce more heat . So you can figure out the savings and the benefits. My girlfriend also did not like the thermostat so he replaced it with a different kind. Satch saw me as more than an invoice. He really had my interest at heart and solved a problem that no one before him could. If you want an a/c company whose employees are honest, enthusiastic, courteous and extremely well trained go with this one.
