TJ Robb - Yolorepairmaster

I wish I had picked Eric Duarte's recommendation from day one. After seeing all these AC contractor names from our nice NextDoor app neighbors, I decided to call Woodland Air. The owner sent his son to look at my AC as he himself was running late on Friday afternoon. His son decided that my capacitor was dead but couldn't fix the issue. So he came back with his dad the following morning. I told the owner that I didn't believe my capacitor was dead and that it must have been Freon leaks, and I wanted him to retest my capacitor. He did and found it to be in working condition so he installed it back. He pumped nitrogen gas in to test leaks and found that the suction service valve was leaking. He told me that it's best to call Blake's as they are a Lennox dealer. Ron and his son were professional and honest, although they couldn't fix my AC. He didn't charge me any money and left.

I then call Blake's on Monday. They sent a tech to check my AC on Tuesday afternoon. I told him Woodland Air had found the valve to be leaking and he checked and agreed. He told me that the valve must have been ruined as it looked like the valve /copper pipe was not welded properly. He told me I needed a brand new valve and recharge Freon. I received a quote the next day for $1273.17. Blake's refused to breakdown the material, parts, labor and tax costs. The Blake's tech was in my property for only 20 minutes and I was charged $95 for his diagnostic visit! Although I didn't think he did much as I already told him what happened.

I really couldn't believe that the valve was damaged due to the over-heated welding process. If it was so, what about the Lennar home warranty? What happened to the previous owner who lived in this house for 7 years? Also, when we purchased this house in 9/2021, the home inspector reported that the AC worked satisfactorily.

With that doubt in mind, I called TJ Robb yesterday (Thursday). TJ came around 4:45pm, and fixed the valve and charged 6 lbs of Freon and left around 7pm. In between he had to go back home to get one of his tool to open the valve. He charged me $320 and my AC started running and the whole house was cooled to 75F by 7pm before he left! TJ was very skilled and knowledgeable and very efficient in what he was doing. He basically found the issue and fix it within a few minutes. He was a straightforward and no-nonsense kind of guy. He was honest and kind with a great passion to help his client. He even came back the following day to make sure my AC was running properly.

I strongly recommend TJ to anyone who has AC issues. I already recommended TJ to our friends and relatives and we will definitely call him for future needs.

TJ was fabulous - had him come out to do some diagnostics and much overdue maintenance on our A/C system. He got back to me shortly after I called him, and it was easy to set up an appointment. When he got here he walked me through the entire diagnostics process - we talked sub-cooling, refrigerant phase changes & latent heat, all the things! I almost feel like an HVAC technician now! After a much needed pound of freon, it's running ice cold! Oh, and he even figured out that the fuses to the compressor and fan weren't to spec, which I hadn't even bothered to check. I'll definitely be bringing TJ back for a recheck in the spring, and recommending him to all my friends!

TJ installed a complete home central AC/heating unit for a great price, significantly lower than other quotes. That was a few years ago and it continues to work perfectly. Thank you TJ, I really appreciate it

Thanks to Danielle S review yesterday I phoned Yolo Repairmaster on a Sunday to fix our AC. TJ came out at the time he said he would and fixed the air conditioner within 30 minutes. No upselling and gave helpful advice on how to improve the longevity of our AC. I have no reservations in recommending Yolo Repairmaster to others, in fact I have already shared our experience with friends.

On a 110 degree Saturday evening, when my house was nearing 90 degrees, I was fortunate enough to make the right call to TJ. He picked up on the first ring and quickly came to the rescue of me and my three pups. I was so impressed with his compassion, his kindness, and his knowledge of A/Cs. He happened to have the correct part on hand and was able to get my A/C up and running within an hour. I will be forever grateful for his speedy response, calm demeanor, and willingness to help. Thank you TJ!

I should have written this last year when TJ came out on a Sunday, as I remember, to clear our kitchen drain line. He explained in advance that rates would be higher for the weekend, but we decided we needed the kitchen... He was quick to respond and got it cleared in no time.

Then I woke up this morning and couldn't get the heater to light. After fooling around with it for an hour or so, I called TJ again. When he returned my call, he said he could be here between 3:30 and 5:00. Damn, I thought, we will be frozen through by 5:00.

When he showed up at 3:40, I bit my tongue. He figured out and solved the problem in less than 20 minutes!

What a guy, what service, what knowledge! He makes me thankful to shop local whenever possible. They deserve each 5-star rating they get!!!

I got on touch with TJ about a water heater that wouldn't light. He provided me with a lot of advise and a phone number to get the replacement part for free from the manufacturer. I was really in a rush to get the heater back up and running after 4 days of cold showers, so once the part arrived I immediately went back to TJ to schedule an installation. He was already booked for the day but offered to come the next day. I was quite desperate at this point so I attempted to install it myself, which took some time but worked well in the end. TJ provided some more safety tips over the phone - all without ever seeing a dime. I am very grateful for his generosity and will surely hire him the next time something brakes!

Our AC went out and TJ replaced our unit. Great service, incredibly knowledgeable, timely, organized and no stress! We highly recommend them!
