Meet the Team

For over a decade, J R Credle has been the trusted name for Portsmouth homeowners and businesses needing reliable service. Founded on a principle of personal accountability, I built this company to be a source of pride for myself and my customers. I operate almost entirely alone, a deliberate choice that ensures every job meets my exacting standards for quality and thoroughness. I take the time necessary to get it right the first time, which is why callbacks are so rare. My approach is built on clear communication: I'm a natural troubleshooter who explains all your options, empowering you to make an informed decision. Whether it's a finicky appliance, a complex HVAC system in your home or boat, or a plumbing emergency, my priority is always your benefit. I’m here to provide lasting solutions and even share practical tips to help you save money down the line.

Common Questions

My HVAC blower motor failed and my smart thermostat keeps losing connection. Can you handle both issues?

Absolutely. These are common challenges we see in Portsmouth homes. For smart thermostat connectivity problems, we diagnose the wiring, Wi-Fi signal strength, and compatibility with your existing HVAC system to ensure a stable connection. For blower motor failures, we provide a thorough inspection to determine if a repair or replacement is the most cost-effective, long-term solution for your specific unit. We handle the full job from diagnosis to final testing.

You offer both appliance repair and installation. If my cooktop needs replacing, will you handle the full job?

Yes, we provide a complete service. We'll start by assessing your old cooktop and the existing electrical or gas connections. If a replacement is the best option, we can help you select a suitable model, safely disconnect and remove the old unit, properly install the new one, and test it to ensure it's operating correctly and safely. We manage the entire process so you don't need to coordinate multiple contractors.

You mention being 'slow' but having no callbacks. What does that mean for my repair?

It means we prioritize thoroughness over speed. We take the time needed for a complete diagnosis and precise repair on the first visit. Rushing can lead to missed issues and the need for a return trip. Our method is methodical—we check all possibilities, explain them to you, and perform the repair correctly. This approach saves you time, frustration, and money in the long run by ensuring the job is done once and done right.
