A & J Heating and Cooling

A & J Heating and Cooling operates from Orange, New Jersey, delivering HVAC and refrigeration services throughout Essex County and neighboring communities. The company holds NJ MASTER HVACR license 19HC00448700, confirming owner-operator Ray as a state-certified master technician with EPA certification for refrigerant handling. With 12+ years in the industry and a perfect 5.0-star rating across 21 customer reviews, the firm has built a reputation for residential and commercial system expertise, including walk-in cooler and freezer installation for commercial kitchens.

The contractor distinguishes itself through specialized commercial refrigeration capabilities, installing and repairing walk-in coolers, freezers, and ice machines that most residential-focused HVAC companies simply don't handle. Their 24/7 emergency response ensures same-day service for heating and cooling crises, while a current winter promotion offers 10% off repairs and maintenance through January 30th. Unlike larger operations where customers may encounter different technicians per visit, Ray or his personally-trained team members handle service calls, maintaining consistent diagnostic quality and honest assessments.

Reviewers consistently highlight Ray's diagnostic precision, he identified a refrigerant leak during a brutal summer heat wave that other contractors missed, and solved a heating issue no other company could figure out within ten minutes flat. One homeowner received a basic service charge when competitors quoted absurdly high estimates with no real solution. During another winter, Ray resolved weak vent airflow over the phone without a house call. These scenarios illustrate why 21 reviewers award perfect five-star ratings: this contractor delivers working solutions, fair pricing, and respect for the customer's time and money.
