PSD Heating and Cooling
I have no words on how strongly I recommend using Pat from HVAC problems. I had DE Duffey & Sons come out for spring AC tune up and after finishing the job, the technician informed me that there is no freon in the unit. He told me that he couldn't find the leak, so he filled nitrogen in the unit for now and someone from the office will call me. Without even explaining the whole situation and solutions, he just left. Later, two different technicians came out twice, but they couldn’t even find the leak. They simply told me to change the whole unit and quoted me approximately $5000 just for the unit plus labor, freon and tax. I was really annoyed at their solution because my unit is only 6 years old. In short, my experience with DE Duffey was not great because I was always kept uninformed, and they were looking to charge me for a leak they couldn’t find. So, I reached out to Pat and explained the whole situation and he was really surprised by their solution since my unit is only 6 years old. He came out and diagnosed the problem and was able to find the leak within 20 mins. One thing I really liked about Pat is that he was upfront about his charges and would ask multiple times before touching the unit. Unlike DE Duffey, he would communicate and teach you about the system. Once he changed the valve, he recharged the unit, and the unit was working like brand new within an hour. It’s been a week and I literally have no problem with the system. Pat even reached out to me to see how the unit is doing. The whole thing costed me $1175 (diagnostic, part, freon and sealant). Meanwhile, it would have cost me approximately $8000 if I would have gone with DE Duffey & Sons. Please reach out to Pat if you are looking to get unit fixed in a timely manner without paying unnecessarily thousands of dollars. Pat is a pro, and he knows what he is doing. He would never trick into spending more just so that it would benefit him. Pat is the guy!!!!Update (07/18/2026):We had another emergency and Pat came in the next day to fix the issue. He is still our guy. He checked on the system the next day to make sure everything was running properly. I highly recommend him.
