I'm very impressed by the service. I have an older condo so my AC system is older. I have the older chiller systems. I called numerous companies and they told me they do not service my AC unit type.y one unit was leaking and needed to be fixed. This guy explained the job and was very honest with the repair and the overall condition of my AC system. He is extremely knowledgeable. He even took videos of the inside of the Ac system to show abs explain to me exactly what was happening. Highly recommended l!

Super speedy and efficient. He arrived less than an hour after I reached out and fixed my HVAC quickly. It was a hot day so I'm very grateful for him being hardworking and available.

Came home from vacation on a Saturday to find that lightning struck a tree near our house and it zapped our refrigerator, and a GFIC outlet. After making several calls and getting voice nails Pablo from Zappatas answered immediately. He came out the same day, diagnosed the problem, ordered a part and fixed the problem the next morning.

Came out on a Sunday night when my furnace stopped working and the temps were dropping below zero. Diagnosed the problem (my smart thermostat failed). His report helped me get the thermostat replaced under warranty.
After calling more than a dozen plumbers in our area during a heatwave weekend, we finally called Zapata's HVAC Systems after seeing them highly rated on Yelp. We called so many companies because a pipe in our basement ceiling was leaking and the ceiling was broken from a water bubble. They returned our phone call shortly after and asked us to text to them a picture. Immediately called us back to tell us they were 10 minutes away and can fit us in before going to 5 afternoon appointments.
Pablo and another technician arrived promptly. After their inspection, they found three leaks. They advised on what the problems were in terminology we can understand. Less than an hour later, they fixed the pipes with quality work. No more leaks! Thank you Pablo and Zapata's HVAC for fitting us into your busy Sunday schedule in the middle of a heatwave! We will indeed keep Zapata's HVAC in our phonebook for their customer service, sense of urgency, trustworthiness, and quality resolution.

Pablo did an amazing job replacing a toilet, repairing a leaking toilet, and repairing a bathroom sink! Fast, friendly, professional,and knowledgeable describe him and you will be hard pressed to find a better repairman.

Pablo of Zapata's HVAC Systems did a great job installing my OTR microwave. He was very responsive, professional and patient. He made sure everything was in working order straightened up before h we left. I would highly recommend him and his business.

Pablo and his assistant Leudy did a great job servicing my HVAC mini split English basement system and then installed a nice cover I ordered from Germany on Etsy to make the external condenser look a lot nicer. He had never put together and mounted one of these covers before (and the directions were only in German) but he did a excellent job and even cut a spot for the pipes to enter when it didn't quite fit and applied some clear caulking to some of the rough edges so no one would cut themselves on it. Great work!
This guy is a crook! Please be careful doing business with him. There are other individuals that will do work on your home beware
Everyone that does not like a review says they have no records. This guy is a con artist and a thief. We paid money for a service that was not done when we asked for the money back we could not get it back.
The a/c unit in my suite had been leaking water from the unit on and off for the last 6-8 weeks, we had a handman that does other work around the house come out clean/blow it out, as he said it was likely due to a blockage. However, not even two weeks later its leaking again... Due to the large amount of water leaking I turned the a/c unit off yesterday and had ceiling fans running which was of no help for me as it was still too hot! I don't know about you but I can't sleep in heat, I like it cold when I sleep. So I pulled an all nighter, so productive playing Soduku and watching some Anime... Soon as it was of reasonable morning hours I told my landlord the issue and thankfully the little lady had someone come out this afternoon!
The technician (Pablo) arrived on time, was very polite, professional, and knowledgeable in what he was doing. Pablo answered all the questions/concerns my landlord and myself had. More importantly I have a working a/c unit now that is blowing ice cold air and NOT LEAKING water! I can't want to get a good night's rest tonight. We really appreciate the quick turnaround and the awesome job Pablo did.
Pablo Zapata was responsive and an excellent diagnostician. He arrived at my parents house quickly after they called. He ran a battery of tests on their air conditioning and determined they needed a capacitor replaced. He installed it that day and now my parents are napping in a cool house. Thanks, Pablo, for your professionalism and expertise. Highly recommend this company.

Pablo was amazing. Professional and ontime. Would hire him again in a heartbeat. He was much cheaper then his competition as well.
I hired Zapata's HVAC Systems to remodel my first floor 1/2 bathroom. It was done very poorly. The paint job was sub-par. I had to hire another contractor to fix his work. The new contractor had to repair the walls and re-paint; repair mirror trim paint; paint the ceiling. In addition, I had to beg Mr. Zapata to take the old toilet that he left in my backyard. After a few weeks, he finally hauled the toilet away.
Moreover, I hired Mr. Zapata to install gutter guards in all my gutters. He did a poor job and left many misaligned and sticking up. Some of them blew off. Again, I had to hire another contractor to finish and fix his work.
Mr.Zapata said that I needed a new garbage disposal per my inspection report. I read the report afterwards and it did not say that. Beware as this contractor pushes to be paid via Zelle and Venmo. I found out that a previous customer filed a BBB complaint alleging unnecessary work performed and wanting to be paid via Venmo. In addition, like the other customer, he will not furnish invoices.

Pablo came to repair my dishwasher and diagnosed the problem quickly. I had a couple other jobs (replacing an outlet in my kitchen and a ceiling vent in my upstairs bath) that I asked about and he was able to help me with those as well. I highly recommend him and will use him again. Responsive, reliable and fair price.
Pablo has fixed a few issues around the house and he has come through every time. He is quick, efficient, and knowledgeable when it comes to HVAC and plumbing issues.

It's a Sunday morning and one our A/C units had an issue. The thermostat was getting an error message regarding no power.
Pablo was able to see us the same day. He was able to target the problem in a responsible time and explain in details the causes. He was on time and professional.
I will recommend him to others

Our dishwasher had detached from our quartz countertop. For 3 days I had called about 10 different companies. The few who did call me back put up barriers we only serve inside the beltway or I can come out in 2 weeks.
Last night I searched Yelp and sent out requests. Zapata's answered within 15 minutes. I sent him pictures, explained what happened. He was able to come out the next day!
He was professional and respectful. He explained to me how it had happened, and how he fixed it. He showed me his work when he was done, and made sure I had no questions.
I am definitely going to keep his information for future reference!

Hired Pablo to fix our dryer that stopped spinning. Pablo came out to diagnose the problem, took the dryer apart, and noted the belt was broken. He ordered a new belt and replaced it and the dryer works again! Pablo is very responsive, helpful, and knowledgeable - our dryer is not a well known brand but Pablo still knew how to service it.
Worked on three issues - one diagnostic work and two issues fixed. Good quality of work. Pricing could have been better. Charged me $140 to change my dishwasher water connector - just labor, I bought the part. It took him probably 20 minutes max.
I asked of a quote for gasket replacement. I was also given a suggestion to use vinegar and clean gasket seal. It worked. Just a little extra cleaning goes a long way. I though I needed a replacement. No such thing.
I was having a problem with my over the stove microwave door it wasn't acknowledging the door was closed. I contacted Pablo on yelp. He was very responsive. He was able diagnose the problem and fix it no time. Pricing was good. I would suggest him with your appliance repair.
He is a HVAC professional and didn't tell me that, I thought he was a plumber. Did a less than average job for installing a sink,faucet and attaching dishwasher. He couldn't even find right parts. I had to go to out to get parts twice. First time he was with me and forgot part of the foucet in the shopping cart. I end up with almost 7 extra parts.
Anyway I don't know his HVAC work. But I wouldn't hire him ever again as a plumber.
Pablo showed up at 9:30 on a Sunday morning!!!!
Great tools, familiar with my Maytag freezer, figured out low freon, small leak somewhere not found, but was able to put in a line access device/valve and charged R134A. He didn't have any leak seal on hand but I was able to purchase the adaptor from schrader valve to std R134A automotive quick valve and inject dye/seal/R134A.
Freezer works, how long is debatable because it's 16 years old.
Mr. Pablo Zapata provides excellent service. I have used him for HVAC and plumbing services for years. He is friendly and very customer service orientated. He works extremely hard to provide high quality service. He is a true professional in the highest manner. I am a customer for life.
Pleasure to work with. Was able to fix my fridge same day. End result was great. Highly recommend.

Pablo did a great job repairing my electric range oven/stove -- and this was after the company my Home Warranty service sent over couldn't figure out the problem and gave up.
I will definitely be using him again.
I needed a newly purchased garbage disposal installed and contacted Zapata's HVAC.
Pablo, the owner, showed up at my house within an hour and had it up and running in 20 minutes.
He explained that HVAC is not his only field of expertise. He also does plumbing and electrical work.
Due to his promptness, efficiency, friendliness and very reasonable rate, I've already made arrangements for him to complete a few other jobs that are not in my comfort zone.
He will be back to replace all of our bathroom and kitchen faucets, as well as our toilet(s) guts and feed-lines. He's also working up an estimate to replace our gas furnace and rooftop AC unit.
Give this fine, young man a call. You will not be disappointed.

Pablo was very responsive from the time I requested a quote on Yelp. I was remotely managing a refrigerator repair for my father so planning and communication were critical. Pablo made my job easy and my father is a happy camper. Highly recommended.
Called Zapata's because my dryer wouldn't work. Pablo must have flown in on his jet pack because he arrived only a short time later (fully masked of course). He proceeded to fix the dryer in nanoseconds and after graciously accepting my personal check and thanking me for supporting a small business, this suburban superhero was on his way! Thanks Pablo! I'll be calling you about the lint issues.
I called the company and was lucky enough to get in touch with the owner Pablo. He was extremely helpful and was able to diagnose the problem over the phone. It was exactly what 2 other companies told me after coming to my home. After speaking with Pablo I knew this was the right company for the job because he wasn't the salesman type; he wanted to fix what you asked. His prices were excellent and Quality of work was superb. I will definitely recommend this Company and will use him again. Thank you Pablo.
Pablo was responsive and professional. He serviced my HVAC mini split system (2), one of which had stopped working properly. I found Pablo to be very engaging and answered my questions. He analyzed the problems with my system and corrected them. He charged a fair rate. I will use him again. Excellent value especially in the Takoma Park and Silver Spring area.
We started having a problem with our Samsung Front loader and began looking for a repair tech. Zapata's was very responsive and gave solid advice regarding the state of our machine. A very competent technician and was able to explain what options we could pursue. Would trust him to do future work!

We were desperate for a plumber during thanksgiving break and the only ones we could get charged exorbitant fees just to show up during a holiday. Our kitchen sink wouldn't drain and we couldn't run the dishwasher either. Came across Zapata's business while searching Yelp and gave him a try. Pablo showed up when he said he would and diagnosed the issue then came back again with the right equipment to snake our pipes. Prior to coming to our house he gave us a 2 hour window, and let us know when he was on his way. He was professional and charged an honest price, even when he knew we were desperate. We have not had issues with our sink since then.

Called Pablo late on a Friday afternoon. He came to my home right away, diagnosed the problem and then came back the next day as promised with the part and my dryer is now working again. Will use him again if anything else breaks.
Thank you, Pablo!

Mr. Zapata is a prompt professional handyman who did not cut any corners when it comes to his tradecraft. Had him repair a broken fridge and some electrical work. Will be using him again!!,
Although I was not able to use them due to my home warranty finally having someone available, I was IMMEDIATELY contacted and Pablo was very thorough and told me he could be available the next day. But again, because my home warranty was finally able to find someone for the next day as well I went with that since I wouldn't have to pay as much out of pocket. Based off his responsiveness I would recommend.
Pablo hasn't even started the work and I wanted to say how amazing he is already. We contacted another business locally in our area who told us that they couldn't even get to our home until next Tuesday. There was a second business that we contacted and they couldn't get to us until possibly tomorrow. I found Pablo on yelp. He responded immediately and came the same day. He explained upfront what his charges were and how he would diagnose our issue. He contacted us before he arrived, he was on time, very professional, polite and down to earth. He explained in detail what the issue was and how he planned to resolve it. I would recommend Pablo and his business to everyone!!!!
Highly recommend this small business!!
Pablo is the real deal. Not only is he extremely responsive, but he has impressive turnaround time.
We were able to schedule an appointment with him Sunday night, for the next morning all through the yelp app. He promptly arrived on time and fixed two appliances in what seemed like minutes. I cannot recommend this business enough.
Hopefully we don't have any other appliances that give us trouble in the near future, but if we do, we know who to call.
Pablo did an awesome job with our refrigerator repair. It stopped working at 5pm on Friday, and I was desperately trying to find a service that would answer the phone. Pablo to the rescue! Not only did he talk with me on Friday night, he agreed to come out and diagnose the problem super early on Saturday morning - I was so relieved! He was super responsive every step of the way when a part needed to be ordered, and came to make the fix at times that were convenient to us, and also explained exactly what he was doing and what was being fixed. Thank you Pablo!
The AC repair I needed went very smoothly, and at a reasonable cost. Pablo is courteous and efficient. Because I do many of my own repairs (but don't know how to diagnose AC issues), I especially appreciated him demonstrate and explain the diagnostic procedure. He also explained some maintenance things I could do myself to help in avoiding future problems.

I HIGHLY recommend Pablo if you're experiences trouble with your washing machine. He was very responsive and was able to come out for a diagnostic the same day. I thought the issue might be a simple gasket repair but wasn't confident I could fix it myself. Pablo patiently walked me through the diagnostic steps and showed me where the leak was occurring (in the connection via the soap dispenser!) which I would not have been able to figure out myself. He was also transparent about the costs for parts and labor, so I felt satisfied having the replacement serviced by him. Looking forward to having him come back to snake my slow-draining shower.
Pablo was the first to respond to the Yelp review I submitted. He has good rates ($65 for consultation, lower than many other places). He came by and diagnosed my broken washing machine. The motor was messed up - small items that flew out of the main bucket area got caught on the motor. Long story short, things broke off and parts had to be replaced. Pablo is efficient and ordered the part that same evening and picked it up the following Monday. When he came by to fix things he also gave me a deal to clean the dryer, a task I've been putting off. Pablo is very personable and seems very dedicated to his job. I would definitely call him again to for any other appliance repairs.

Looking for an experienced, honest, professional, friendly, and responsive HVAC, plumber, or refrigerator repair technician? If so, Pablo Zapata is your man. I found that my basement refrigerator was not cooling properly and sent a request for service on Yelp. Several businesses responded that they did not service my brand of fridge, except for Pablo. He arrived a couple of hours after I posted my service need. The same day! Talk about excellent customer service! Not only that, but he correctly diagnosed the problem and fixed my compressor. Thanks, Pablo!

Pablo is a lifesaver. I had a broken fridge for weeks and could not get anyone to repair it. Thank goodness I was put in touch with Pablo. He came immediately and diagnosed the problem and ordered the part. I was amazed when he came back the next day, on a Saturday no less, and installed the new compressor. Excellent service. Couldn't be happier!!

I'll be calling Pablo again! I'm very happy with the service he provided in getting my dryer up and running again. Pablo was fast and efficient not only with the repair but with communication and was able to offer same day service. Thanks Pablo!
Pablo did a great job at a reasonable price. He was very responsive, knowledgeable and was able to get my refrigerator fixed quickly. I would highly recommend him.

This is a professional, experienced, and hard working business who knows what they are talking about and will change a fair price. I'm glad I found them.
Pablo recharged my fridge for a fair price. He was a great communicator, courteous, professional. ... and even funny! Turns out he does more than only HVAC - I am likely to use his services again.
My refrigerator was not freezing or cooling. Of the vendors I requested a price quote from, Pablo was the quickest, responding and confirming my appointment late in the evening (after 10pm!). He was able squeeze me into his busy schedule and come by and diagnose the situation the next day. He's extremely thorough in his diagnosis, checking and testing everything and explaining what he's doing every step of the way. At the end he shared with me that the compressor for our fridge is still under warranty and the manufacturer should easily be able to replace it - which I called the same day and confirmed a warranty replacement of the required part. Highly recommend him to anyone who needs his skills and thoroughness.

Pablo was fantastic. I was fortunate in that he was able to come on the evening of the day I called after my washer stopped working (soonest I could get from other companies was 2 days later). He explained things clearly in non-technical terms and gave advice on future maintenance to prevent future problems. He also did routine service maintenance on my dryer while he was here, and installed my wired Ring doorbell! I know he was much more reasonable than the electrical company would have been. He was at my house quite late, making sure everything was done properly, and I was very happy with his work. He is a young guy starting this business with his brother, and I hope he is very successful.

Pablo recently helped us troubleshoot some issues with our HVAC system that we have been having for years after endless back and forth with our Home Warranty company (FYI don't use First American). He came to offer us a second opinion and very quickly was able to identify what the issues were and explain it to us in a way we understood. He provided us with different options to address the cooling issues we've had. We ended up having him replace our HVAC system at a competitive price and within 1-3 days of us making our final decision. This would have involved endless back and forth and probably taken over a month with our warranty company (we ended up canceling it). He recommended that we get our ducts professionally cleaned and he also found some faulty ductwork and issues with our attic insulation while troubleshooting some issues we were having (noticing that upstairs still seemed much warmer). For the first summer in a 2 years, I woke up to a cool home (almost chilly!). He is trustworthy, reliable, and responds quickly. We definitely will reach out to him again for advice and future repairs. Thank you for your service and professionalism, Pablo!

I had a problem with my dryer and Zapata was great. Easy to contact and schedule right away. Showed up on time and the price was reasonable. He even showed me how to avoid the problem in the future. Very satisfied.
Great communication and friendly. He arrived early, fixed what I requested as well as other appliances that needed some repair and gave us great, fair price. Excellent service all around!
Pablo fixed the water intake tubing to my refrigerator this morning and he was just terrific. He immediately knew what to do and how to fix the problem. I was so relieved! Before he came the refrigerator was leaking water onto the floor and it would have gotten worse. He definitely knows how to fix appliances! He also will be fixing my oven soon. Believe me its easier and cheaper to have him fix appliances than to go out and buy new!

Needed a water heater replaced. Pablo replied quickly with a quote and provided a reasonable price. He was very professional and prompt for the service appointment. He also accommodated an extra request to install a smart thermostat. He is friendly and a great option for any of your plumbing needs!

Pablo is the best! He is available on short notice, easy to work with and knows what he's doing. He's done everything to replace a dishwasher seal, servicing our oven to removing an impacted bird's nest from our outdoor oven fan. His pricing is not complicated, he's hard working and very transparent.
Pablo is whip smart, and has an extraordinary work ethic. He uncovered problems a previous repairman caused and was generous in teaching me how to do some basic maintenance myself. Wish I'd come across his number sooner!
