Jeff Latawiec

Jeff Latawiec has run Basic Refrigeration Heating & Air Conditioning since 1997, and after more than 28 years he still runs it the same way: owner-operated, with his own name on the work. He holds a New Jersey Master HVACR Contractor license, and the business has been BBB-accredited since 2010. The company handles heating, cooling, and commercial and residential refrigeration, along with ventilation, ductwork, and indoor air quality, for homes, restaurants and catering halls, offices, and industrial sites. Emergency service runs around the clock, which matters most in the two stretches of the year when a furnace quits in the cold or a system fails in a heat wave. What customers tend to mention afterward is not the equipment but the way the work gets done: a straight diagnosis, neat work, and an honest answer about what a system actually needs. That mix of a long track record and a small, hands-on operation is the whole pitch. Big enough to handle the job, small enough that the owner still shows up.
