Unique Heating and Air Conditioning Inc.

Unique Heating and Air Conditioning charged me $300 dollars for a $35 quick permit from City and County of Denver. I just needed a bathroom fan installed to comply with City code. They did not apply for the permit before they did the work--supposedly because I did not ask for one. They refused to apply for the permit until ten days after their work was completed, resulting in my small remodel project being ten days behind schedule and taking four weeks instead of two. When the permit was finally issued, the contractor was listed as C & H Heating and Cooling LLC, a company I had never heard of.

I have never heard of a company making a huge profit on a permit. When my entire roof was replaced, the permit cost was less than $150.00.

I requested a partial refund from Adam Torres by U. S. mail I never heard anything else from him.

I did not argue about the price of the permit. I called on a Monday morning to request one; April told me it would be several hundred dollars (a shock to me) but I said okay. She said she would have to talk to her supervisor about it. Again okay. Called in the afternoon, April said she would put in the request. Okay. Tuesday morning, nothing. Called again. April was not in. Many back and forth calls between me, my contractor, and Unique. Finally at 1:30 pm, April said she would put in for the permit and finally asked for a payment method--first time she ever asked. Thirty minutes later a permit was in the system. Thirty minutes.

I hired Unique (a mistake on my part), not the general contractor. When the general contractor hires someone, they can be added to the permit. When anyone else hires another contractor, that contractor needs to obtain their own permit.

We've used Unique Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. the last couple of years now and it has been a great experience each time. Scheduling has been quick and easy and Julio has been out twice and does a great job. He's very friendly and professional and gets the AC taken care of. Last year, he took the AC unit apart to fully clean it. Not sure if it had ever been cleaned prior as it was clogged and dirty, but it looked fantastic after. This year, he was here for a tune up of the AC and a potential issue with the AC flow (figured out it was an issue with the filter). Again, he did a great job and we're good for another year/everything is working well. Thank you, Julio!

Winter is on its way. I just had my furnace checked and cleaned by Julio Garza with Unique Heating and Air Conditioning. Julio has been taking care of our HVAC for about 8 years. It's always a pleasure to see him. He is so polite and knowledgeable. He does his work efficiently and professionally. He shows me pictures of all the work he has done. I highly recommend Unique Heating.
