The water line replacement went much better than I imagined. The company was prompt and completed the work within 48 hours. As part of the repair, the associate convinced me to purchase a maintenance package. The package reduced the total cost of the job and basically paid for itself. My issues with this company really began when I scheduled the AC maintenance. I was told that technicians would be coming between 8-11. At 11 no one showed up yet. I called and was told that the window for service was 8-12, which was not what I was originally told. I had to reschedule. On the second attempt for service I chose the window of 8-12. At 11:00 a costumer service rep called me and said the technician would arrive closer to 12:30 due to some emergency calls. At 1:40 I called customer service and was told the technician was still in another job. They again mentioned that there were several emergency jobs and that they were down a technician. I completely understand that emergencies can crop up. However this company does not appear to be very accommodating or forthright; you work on their schedule and better not have anything more important to take care of while you wait all day for them to show up.

Pretty good. I used them over a year ago. They were good but I thought they were very expensive. I have it where they will come back in a year. The billing is way out of bounds. The service that they provide is very good but I'm not happy with the pricing it is way out of bounds. The quality was good. The customer service was good.

on one of the coldest days of the year, Spengler came out to look at our furnace (which was not delivering warm air). The technician sprayed something into the furnace and declared we were in danger of a carbon monoxide leak because the flame turned a specific color. He then went on to tell us he would have to shut our furnace down because that was the law/regulation. And he had another Spengler rep come in and tell us what it would cost us to replace it. About $15,000 when all was said and done. We did sign up for annual maintenance. We declined, called another heating/air guy who checked our furnace and made miner fixes - all for under $300. Two years later and the furnace (which is indeed 13 years old) is still fine. So is the air conditioner. Didn't like the Spengler tactics - seems they were trying to take advantage. Will never call them again.

It went excellent. We have used Spenglers in the past for a complete Water Heater replacement, their office staff are spot on, their field techs are professional, personable and knowledgeable. They arrived on time, I was notified by the office when they were on the way, they made their scheduled arrival, and the entire job took less than 4 hours. The quality of materials is outstanding, the lines were all soldered in without any leaks, and the technician even took the time to show me how the new faucet could be tightened if leaks appear later on. This job is now two months complete and I have no leaks, and I can (finally) wash the cars and water the front flower beds without hauling hose or buckets. Awesome job for the Spengler's team!

My experience with the Spengler Company was great. Colby arrived at my house on time and then proceeded to perform the cleaning of my air conditioning unit. He found that our refrigerant was low so he filled that up. And he also changed our air filter for FREE! He then gave me six options to replace the water heater in our home. It was over 20 years old and had been leaking on the floor. We selected the second option and he called it in and our water heater was changed out the same day! WOW. What service! We couldn't be happier.
Description of Work: I needed to have my air conditioning system checked for the annual tune up and while he was there I also had him give me an estimate on a new water heater.

Our water heater went out the other night. I called and explained what was going on and they assured me that someone will be out as soon as possible. A bit later the technician came to the house ,first he greeted us then he put on his shoe covers before coming into the house. When I showed the technician the problem he was very patient in explaining to me what all needed to be done and he answered all my questions in a way that i could understand. I was impressed with his knowledge of the business but more impressed with his people skills. That night was our first time to call a plumber and if we ever need one again we will definitely call them!

Prompt, professional and completed the work in a timely manner. We had a couple of options for resolution of this leaky faucet problem and while neither was a "bargain" (plumbing, electricity, appliance repair, etc. are seldom low cost items), we appreciated the time he took to explain to us the problem, the consequences of doing nothing and our options. In the past we have had repair services perform a job and not discuss cost or options with us before proceeding. We will go with Spangler again if (when) the need arises.

Don't ! I was a loyal customer, but when something went wrong, the company addressed the situation poorly and unfairly. In the past, I received excellent service from their customer service representatives on the phone and with the technician (Don) that performed work at my house several times. But, the response (or lack of it) from their managers lost my business for good. Through all my interactions with them, I was calm and polite. Here's a summary of what happened: I arrived at my house early one evening and the furnace was not functioning. Temperatures outside were sub-zero, and it was barely above freezing in my house. I immediately called Spengler, and the customer service representative said she would have someone come out as soon as possible, but it may be several hours. The technician, who I had not met before, arrived as promised and tried to diagnose the problem and repair the furnace in the basement. During this process, he caused the thermostat upstairs to catch on fire. Luckily we discovered what happened before too much damage had been done. The fire destroyed the thermostat and charred the wall. It also filled the house with acrid smoke (think burning plastic), and I had to open the windows and doors to the cold to air house. I think the technician was as shocked about it as I was because he quickly wrote up an order identifying a bad control board and a bad thermostat (!) as the problem, and he tried to upsell me a $3200 service plan while standing in my hazy freezing house. He said he would get the parts ordered, and the furnace would be repaired as soon as possible. Obviously a mistake was made. When I called Spengler early the next morning about what had occurred, the customer service representative was helpful, as usual, and said the service manager would call me soon. My credit card was charged $500 for the new part. By that afternoon, she appeared to be as frustrated as I was that the service manager hadn't contacted me. When he finally contacted me, he was arrogant and rude. When I told him I already had the situation inspected by several professionals, he agreed to repair the wall, replace the thermostat and have his senior technician come out and install the new part at no additional charge to me. The senior technician did arrive later that afternoon, and he declared the furnace unsafe and beyond repair. He could not determine what damage had existed beforehand and what damage the previous technician may have caused. The new part was useless. He contacted the service manager and told him so, and he implored the manager to give me a break on a new system. We agreed that the $500 I was charged would be applied toward the new system. At this point, I'm still trusting Spengler. The sales guy arrived that evening and quoted a price of $10,713.65...that was giving me a break and applying all applicable discounts. The sales guy showed me all of this on a tablet, and I had to write down all the information myself. The next day, I got bids for comparable or better equipment from other companies that were $5350, $5632, $7522, and $7862. I called Spengler, told them I was not purchasing a system from them and to please refund my $500. The service manager contacted me and flat out refused to do so. My wall was repaired over the next several days. I sent a letter asking for the refund. Over the next several weeks, I was told the customer service manager would contact me, but he never did and he never returned my calls (the customer service manager!). The operations manager called once and left a message saying if I wanted to discuss the situation I had to call him back in the next 10 minutes. I contacted my credit card company, and they immediately initiated a charge back to refund my $500 and said a penalty would also be issued to Spengler. That was the last I heard from them.... until a month later when I received one of those automated "Thank You" cards in the mail, with a picture of the technician who caught the thermostat on fire, thanking me for my business. The reviews mentioning high pressure sales tactics and overpricing happened in my case, too. The arrogant and awful management was also exposed. I never received an explanation or apology, only grief.

Like previous raters stated - very high pressure sales techniques. No cost for estimate but charged us for 4 hours when only took 2.5 hours to do the job (I overheard him talking to his supervisor on the phone when pricing out the job- so in fact the estimate was charged at their hourly rate!). The quality of produce used was not very good for the price. I would say go elsewhere.

We provided the repairman with a Spengler $100.00 gift card. The tech showed us a small I pad with a lot of difficult to read text. There was no paper copy of the bill. The tech was there for about an hour, made sales pitches for various items. He asked us to sign the I-pad screen and then left. Later we saw a charge on our American express account for $130. 24. We never received a bill of any sort and never any apparent credit for the gift card issued by Spengler. I am not confident that the furnace was honestly appraised and serviced for the upcoming Season.

The installation itself was very good. I noticed the old tank leaking at 2:00pm Tuesday - was replaced by 2:00pm Wednesday. They came out quickly to provide a bid and settled on Spengler that night and they were here at 8:30am the next morning. The installer was friendly and considerate - top notch. The only knock will be the salesman himself - a bit high pressure not a big deal because we knew we were going to use them after the research we had done. He was here for nearly 3 hours looking things over then writing his bid then discussing with us his bid then sitting in his truck while we reviewed the bid then finally signing the contract. The most disappointing was the discussing about their calendar - he wanted to be sure my wife knew which month he was "featured" - really - cmon man!

The people I dealt with on the phone and in person could not have been more helpful and professional they took a situation that I had been dealing with for nearly a month and made it happen and it was fixed the next day. B careful of those companies that offer you sewer line insurance, we had that and we could only use their plumber to make the repairs they wanted $20,000 to make the repairs we decided t get other bids and Spengler came out to bid the job at a final price of $8300, they were so helpful and wonderful, I would recommend them to anyone.

LOVE Spengler. They came out the same day that I called and he capped off the outside faucet pipe so I could turn the water back on to the rest of my house. In 2 days, they will come back and finish the repair and insulate the pipes. They were slammed with broken water pipe calls so today was just about getting me up and running - which is all I wanted and I'm so thankful for. He gave me several different options in writing and I went with their best service plan because it's well worth it. Office staff are awesome! Fantastic customer service! So much better than the company I was using and had a service plan with. I cancelled my service with the other company and as long as Spengler keeps this up, I will stay with them. It was quite costly, I think, but plumbers are very expensive. Great work with great customer service is priceless. Beware of cheap plumbers - you will get what you pay for.

I had a leak in one of my upstairs toilet and we chose to replace the toilet and that was part of the upgrade. They brought the wrong toilet and they ordered a new one and came out and put the right one in. They are phenomenally responsive and very friendly. He is so clean and professional. They know what they are doing. They get in and get out and do it.

It went better than ever! After we chose an air conditioner, the Spengler team sprang into action and brought a portable air conditioning unit out to our house to keep us cool over night while we waited for our new unit to arrive today. The customer service manager checked on us throughout the day keeping us informed on when they would arrive to install our new unit. Sean came out in the afternoon and was the best in class and very knowledgeable. He went straight to work because a storm was approaching. When the massive downpour happened, he went got a tent to put up and then worked under the tent during the storm. We were so concerned about him and told him the install could wait until tomorrow - but he insisted on working and getting our air conditioning back. The tornado sirens went off and he sought shelter with us - but then went right back out in the rain once they went off to finish the job. We have never experienced service like that - AMAZING!!!!!!!! I have read other review about this company on Angie's List where people complain because they had to pay for great service. In my opinion, you cannot buy what we experienced tonight. NO OTHER COMPANY would do what The Spengler Team did tonight. They are HEROES! I would highly recommend them to anyone reading this review. When you want the BEST - Call Spengler!!!!!!!!
Description of Work: Our air conditioner went out yesterday. With temperatures rising and four kids home from school - it was critical to get help right away. We had two companies come out. One was Spengler. Spengler won hands down in every category! First they came out and diagnosed the problem that our compressor blew. Then they sent out the best salesman to help provide us options so that we did not feel pressured into any sale. In the end we chose a new air conditioner.

they arrived on time but they insisted on a lenghty multi choice billing option campaign which was off putting i was not interested in an expensive protection plan costing hundreds of dollars i simply wanted to get my toilet working the option i chose they labeled the"band aid"solution offering no guarentee at all i felt like a second hand citizen at this point but the work finally proceeded and the drain was unclogged i was then infomed that the toilet flapper was in need of replacement at an additional cost of 74$ which i knew was excessive the young man allowed me to use some discounts reducing the price to 50$ still pricey but i had him do it cause i was tried of the hassle and just bit the bullet at that point it took him two minutes for a part that you can buy in wal-mart for 2$ all in all way overpriced but hey at least i got a working toilet again a rather essential item

I think they are overpriced. I was deployed to Iraq and my wife had a baby, so I wanted for her to have no trouble. So, I got a five-year warranty by paying a premium. And I had problem after problem with it. And they had to come out probably a dozen times within the first two months. And at one point I was calling them from Iraq, pretty upset, saying if you don't get it fixed I'm going to have you replace the whole thing. I was not happy about it. But the thing which was really bad was they said they'll finance it for me interest-free over five years, and all they did was sign me up for credit card and I had no idea. And I thought they were doing the financing; Spengler is a pretty big company. I realized after the fact that on my credit report I got a new credit card on there that shows that it's maxed out. Because all they did was they gave me a credit card for the amount of the purchase of that system. Which really got me mad. They do a good job and they're prompt, I just think they're extremely overpriced and I didn't appreciate them not explaining what their financing deal was. If I had known it was another credit card they're going to sign me up for, I wouldn't have done it, I would have just paid for it myself. I could have burrowed the money from the bank just as easy if I needed to, but I wouldn't have done it.

First Mistake. Broke water line trying to change shower unit seal. Secong Mistake. Called SPENGLER without doing a bit of research. Third Mistake. Called SPENGLER a second time to verify someone was coming after waiting 90 minutes. Plumer finally arrive 20 minutes later. By the way.....an emergency fee of $160.00 was charged, just for driving out to our house on short notice. I later found out, plenty of plumbers will make an emergency house call without the added expense. Only the usual fees apply. Fourth Mistake. Paid $469.00 for someone working for SPENGLER to just cap the lines. Not fix the problem, but just cap the lines. Outrageously overpriced......bordering theft. To fix the problem I was quoted and would've paid approximately between $1800.00 to $3600.00. Yes, that is correct $1800-$3600 just to change the shower/tub unit and plumbing. I later hired another plumber. Who accomplised the work for $350 including parts and labor. Please do yourself a huge favor and do a little research and place a few calls. There are still plenty of True Honest Hard Working Professionals looking to do great work at an honest wage.
