Building Maintenance

Sychem services all our suites in the building. They do the annual maintenance, vacuuming and filter change of the heat pumps. We recommend Sychem to the residents of the building if they have any issues. We deal with the owner, Talib, and he is knowledgeable and professional. He is always on quote and reasonable. I would recommend Sychem.

Disaster from the Start

I had an issue with the heat pump in my unit, and the building recommended Sychem. They came out to service the unit a week after I called, and showed up late for the appointment. They said it wasn't able to be fixed on site and that it had to be taken to ththe shop for diagnostics. This was on Friday, and I was told it would be diagnosed on Monday. I called to follow up on Monday and Tuesday - no one answered and I left voicemails both days. Finally on Wednesday I got through and was told that it would be nearly $1000 to replace the coolant and one damaged wire (3.2 times what I was quoted). Because it is winter and there is no time to get a second quote, I reluctantly have to proceed with them, but they will never receive my business again and I will never recommend a client to them. Everyone I dealt with was unprofessional, abrupt and completely detached from the situation.

Bathroom Toilet leak fixed!

I thought it would be a good idea to save some money and be a do-it-yourself-er but ended up with water spilled all over my bathroom floor and everytime I tried flushing the toilet on New Years Eve when I tried changing the fill valve. After I called a few different companies and received some quite varyed rates (all without actually looking at the problem itself) I called Sychem and the plumber gave me a call price that was the lowest of them all and actually came and looked and explained the problem to me without assuming what it was over the phone. He fixed it and replaced the faulty parts and it's been great ever since, highly recommend them!

HVAC Heat Pump

I totally feel ripped off from my experience back in 2013 with Sychem. I just had the same problem with another unit, I called another company who my building now uses after dumping Sychem, guy came the same day, explained how the heat pump works, what various problems do and fixed it (replaced the capacitor) within an hour. Sychem took days to arrive and took the heat pump off to the shop, told me it was a reverse valve (which causes a different problem). Then they told me they had to drain the freon/add freon and because my unit (2 years old at the time) used old freon that only a few suppliers still carry that stuff it so costs more, when in fact my units have the latest freon. Sychem charged me over $900 and took over a week, the other company $160!

Condo HVAC Maintenance

Sychem's service was amazing. Another contractor came in to my condo in radioCITY, charged me $400 to sit there all day and conclude that the HVAC unit could not be repaired. They proceeded to send me a quote for almost $4,000 to replace it. Someone in the building recommended Sychem, who came and replaced a wire, which fixed the problem in 30 minutes. Very nice staff, very polite. HIGHLY recommended.

air conditioner repair

This company is the main contractor for the HVAC for this condo building. They arrived on time and worked hard at fixing the problem. They were friendly. It works now, that is the main thing.
