What We Do

Jax Mechanical specializes in commercial and residential systems for boilers, water heaters, steam generation, pool heating, and more. Our services extend to full mechanical plumbing and HVAC support, including drain cleaning, hydro-jetting, smoke inspections, pipe repairs, whole-home repipes, and filtration systems. We serve a wide variety of industries and building types, offering solutions tailored to the unique needs of each client.

How We Work

We believe in doing things the right way, not the easy way. Our team is trained continuously in both classroom and hands-on settings to stay on the cutting edge of new technology, safety codes, and energy-efficient systems. We follow California's latest building standards and prioritize long-lasting solutions over temporary fixes. Every recommendation we make is driven by what’s best for the client—never by commission or upselling pressure.

We work hard to educate clients on their systems so they feel confident making informed decisions. We strive to be respectful, professional, and responsive—showing up when we say we will and doing what we say we’ll do.
