Cooling & Heating Solutions, LLC is a family-run HVAC and plumbing outfit that Jose Colon and his son run out of Lynn, working Essex County towns from Salem to Andover. A June 2026 review shows the kind of emergency call the shop is built for: a tankless hot water tank died over Memorial Day weekend, with the manufacturer warranty expired and the home warranty declining to cover tankless units. Jose was at the house within 90 minutes of a Saturday call, diagnosed a burned wire harness on day one, and stayed honest and communicative through the 2.5 weeks it took to track down the right parts. Earlier jobs follow a similar pattern. In a May 2025 review, a homeowner said Jose fixed a dead central heating system on time and cost-effectively, then handled the central AC too. In a November 2024 review, a customer called Jose in after another contractor couldn't find the problem with their heating system — he solved it quickly, explained the fix, and followed up for three days to confirm it held. A May 2024 review describes a same-morning AC concern getting a technician on-site within two hours, and a November 2023 review describes a full Navien heating system installation where the crew also helped arrange a new gas hookup through National Grid. There's a real complaint on the record too. In an August 2025 pair of reviews, a customer described a job quoted at three hours stretching to three days, pipes leaking the first night, and water pressure dropping afterward — with no response to a request for an itemized invoice showing a promised Veteran's discount, just an $1,800 bill. For a heating or cooling repair, the pattern is a responsive, hands-on owner-operator; for a larger plumbing job, it's worth getting the scope, discount, and pricing spelled out in writing before work starts.
My Tankless Hot Water Tank stopped working the Friday of Memorial Day weekend. Made so many calls to only find out it was no longer under warranty by the brand company and the home warranty insurance didn’t cover tankless hot water tanks. Called the the brand company and through them found Jose. Called him on Saturday and he was out my house within 90mins. He diagnosed the issue on the first day, neither of us knew at that time it would take 2.5 weeks to fix our tank. Jose was super professional and honest, through all the ups and downs of getting all the right parts. Our wire harness was burned and needed to be replaced, first try they sent the wrong type of harness, second try right harness but it was a dud, finally got the right one that worked on the third try could finally power on the tank just to find out there was a deeper issue. Now that required order a part from the brand company that they had to ship which took a couple of days. Finally got that part Jose and an associate came this Monday (6/8/26) to install but ran into an issue with the ball valve missing. Came back the next day with the correct gas valve and finally our tank came back to life and was fully operational. Through out the whole Process Jose talked us through all the issues, and next steps as well he worked closely with the Brand company to make sure all proper steps were taken. Next days Jose reached out to find out if everything was still working properly, I confirmed it was. This was a stressful time not being able to have hot water for over 2 weeks. I would absolutely use his services again whether it the hot water tank or some other issues. This is my first home and first time having a major issue, in the house. Would recommend him to anyone.
Unprofessional work ethics
Work ethics were less than professional, and a three hour job for two men took three days. I have plumbing issues related to the work done, the 1st nite the pipes leaked. My water pressure has decreased. I asked for a detailed invoice showing Veteran's discount and cost of labor and materials. No response just an 1800.00 bill
In June my home central air started leaking, the unit is up in my attic the leak found its way to my bedroom below. I went on the internet searching for HVAC companies. I called the first company on the list, a place in Swampscott. The phone went to voice mail for me to leave a message. I hung up. I called the next company listed under the first one I called, the phone rang and was answered by Jose. I wasn’t expecting anyone to answer. I told Jose about my situation, and he was able to see me the next day, which was incidentally the hottest day of the season, isn’t that always the way? He told me I needed a new system, the system was installed the next day. I will be forever grateful to Jose, for picking up the phone and staying true to his word. His son Delvon and another young man named Daniel were friendly, professional, hard-working young men. Working up in a hot attic during our first heat wave of the summer. Jose, Delvon, and Daniel thank you for being there and answering your phone. I highly recommend Cooling and Heating Solutions for all your HVAC needs. 🙏
My Central heating system stopped working, after a long search found Jose Colon Plumbing LLC who fixed it on time and was very cost efficeint. Also, Jose fixed my central AC system. His work is great and cost effective. He is very professional and delivers the best quality work. I do recommend Jose Colon LLC for all plumbing work. I wouldn't waste any time looking around. Contact Jose and you will appreciate his work.
