Hi friends. Hi neighbors. Hi “we’ve been meaning to call you” crew. 👋

Quick question: Have we had the pleasure of meeting your family yet?
Like… have we been in your home, helped your heater behave, saved your fridge from a meltdown, or made your house feel normal again after something stopped working?

And if we have met — are you officially part of the TRT family yet? Because once we’ve been of service to you and your loved ones… we don’t really forget you. That’s kind of our thing.

The new year is when people reset everything — routines, calendars, budgets, and honestly… trust.

So let’s start here:

Get to Know Us (For Real)

We’re The Repair Tech Inc. — a woman-owned, family-operated HVAC + appliance company serving San Diego County.
But what matters more than the label is how we operate:

• We’re big on integrity and transparency

• We’re obsessed with doing right by people

• And we’re here to be your steady, honest service partner — not a sales pitch in uniform

Andreina (that’s me)

I’m Andreina Leal-Carrillo, CEO + co-founder. I grew up in a family where hard work was the baseline, and I learned business early — translating, bookkeeping, problem-solving — all of it.
And I’m also a special-needs mom, which changes how you see “comfort” and “home.” It’s not a luxury — it’s day-to-day stability.

Emmanuel (the operations heartbeat)

Emmanuel is co-founder, San Diego native, and the type of person who takes pride in craftsmanship and doing the job right the first time. He grew up learning hands-on work from family, and he brings that same “serve people well” mindset into every job.

And our team? That’s the backbone.

We’re not a random rotating cast. We’re a real team — people who show up, care, and are proud to be part of a family-style company culture.

If you’re curious about the deeper story (and honestly it’s a good one), here’s our About Us page:

“Okay… But Why Should I Trust You?”

Because trust isn’t what we say — it’s what we consistently do.

1) We’re community-invested, not just “service-area” invested

We support special-needs advocacy and inclusive community programs like TOPSoccer, and we’re recognized as a Kindness Certified Company.
That’s not marketing fluff — that’s a values check.

2) We believe in repairs that make sense

We’re not here to push replacements for sport. We’re here to keep your home running responsibly and help you make informed decisions you feel good about.

3) We protect your routines

We know when something breaks, it’s not just “a system.” It’s school mornings, sensory comfort, dinner, sleep, and sanity.

Why Start the New Year With Us?

Because January is the calm moment where you can get ahead of problems without panic.

It’s also the season when:

• your heater gets used more consistently

• your indoor air starts feeling different

• your appliances are recovering from the holidays

• and your home needs a “how are we doing?” check-in

The U.S. Department of Energy recommends regular heating-system maintenance to support performance and efficiency.

ENERGY STAR also reinforces that simple maintenance habits help protect comfort and performance over time.

Did You Get New Appliances… or a New Home… for Christmas?

This is more common than people admit.

New appliances = new quirks.
New home = mystery systems you didn’t choose.

And after holiday hosting? Appliances are like: “I gave my all. Please don’t perceive me.” 😅

If you’re noticing anything off — weird noises, uneven heating, temp issues, dishwasher not draining — that’s not you being dramatic. That’s your home asking for attention.

Indoor Air Quality Matters More This Time of Year

When homes stay closed up, indoor air can get… stale fast. The EPA explains how indoor air quality is impacted and what homeowners can do about it.

And for families dealing with asthma, the CDC outlines common triggers that can build up indoors.

This isn’t about fear — it’s about comfort. Especially for kids and anyone sensitive to air quality.

New Year, New You… New Home Routine (Nothing Fancy)

This isn’t a “reinvent your life” blog.

This is a “let’s make your home easier to live in” blog.

A simple routine looks like:

• change filters consistently

• don’t ignore new sounds/smells

• get ahead of heater issues before the cold mornings stack up

• know who you’re calling before it’s urgent

If We Haven’t Met Yet…

Hi. We’d genuinely love to.
And if we have met — thank you for trusting us with your home.

Either way: we’re here when you need us.
No pressure. No guilt. Just honest service, done with care.
