Action Mechanical Services

The team at Action Mechanical is amazing! They had a technician on my roof in less than an hour from my first call. It turned out my heat pump unit was leaking refrigerant and was too old to order repair parts. The technician was able to work with the team at the office to quickly provide some replacement options. Less than 48 hours later a crane was in my driveway lifting a new AC to my roof. The team does a great job coordinating all the moving parts and communicated with me regularly. They also provided reasonable financing for this unexpected expense.

I had a fantastic experience with this heating maintenance company! From start to finish, the team was professional, knowledgeable, and extremely thorough. They arrived on time. The technician was very skilled and took the time to inspect every part of the system, clean components, and ensure everything was running efficiently. They also pointed out a few preventative measures I could take to extend the life of my system and improve energy efficiency. It’s clear they truly care about the quality of their work and their customers’ comfort. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. My heating system is now running smoothly and more quietly than ever. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable, detail-oriented, and professional heating maintenance.

The service we recieved from Scott was amazing. He was extremely polite, talked me through everything he was going to do, timeframe and the additional cost for the second unit. He was super quick and even offered to change my air filters - but we already did it. I would highly recommend Action Mechanical Services!

Action Mechanical Services (AMS) is a polite, timely, expensive, but lacking attention-to-detail, HVAC contractor. Our home insurance contracted AMS to service a circuit breaker tripping issue on our 20+ year old R-22 5-ton system. After replacing the compressor capacitor, we asked that AMS inspect the wiring of the unit because many of the unit’s connections look poor. A wiring issue was found and apparently corrected. While on site we requested that they add a 5-2-1 hard start kit to an adjacent, 20+ year old, 3-ton unit. The installed cost of this single kit was $450. A few days after AMS completed the work, the compressor capacitor on the 3-ton unit failed. We believe the 2-pole capacitor and hard start kit were wired incorrectly (see picture). Per the hard start kit install instructions, the red wire connects to the "run" side of the capacitor while the striped-yellow wire connects to the "start" side. As shown in the picture, the large yellow wire is the "start" side of the compressor while the large red wire is the "run" side of the compressor. Per the picture, the wiring was backwards. We corrected the wiring and replaced the capacitor to return proper system function. Unfortunately, one of the 5-ton unit's spade terminals broke about 3 weeks later. The broken wire energizes the "starter" side of the compressor. The remaining "run" wire overheated causing significant damage to the wire (see contactor and dual run cap pictures). We replaced the "starter" wire's spade terminal returning that system to proper function. Perhaps better inspection of the wiring could have prevented this issue. AMS, while polite and on time, is very expensive. The 5-2-1 hard start kit costs <$60 thus $390 for the install labor. $390 labor seems excessive, especially since the tech was already there for the insurance call. The lack of attention to detail on our 5-ton unit’s wiring and the wiring of the hard start kit complete our disappointment.

Record heat this July, my ac unit was not working properly! Scott explained old unit problems with pictures. With research my decision was made. Action Mechanical Service installed new unit. Excellent service and smooth ac install. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and respectful of my home. I highly recommend Action Mechanical Service ! Thank you Scott, Shey, Richard

We have a home warranty, which offered a free furnace check up at the beginning of the season. Action came out and looked at two furnaces. There were some old nonfunctioning pieces in our attic which he cleared out for us and he replaced one capacitor. We did pay a home warranty fee for that, but we think it was a good deal and the mechanic was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Showed up on time, was very knowledgeable in what he was doing, taking the time to explain what he was doing and why. Didn’t waste any time getting things taken care of to make sure our heating unit was functioning properly! Would definitely recommend
