Response from Church Plumbing & Heating Inc
I feel that it is pertinent to respond to your review as it leaves out the details of your interaction with our company. Our technician found your grinder pump seized and not pumping sewage. After pulling the pump and inspecting for obstructions in the impeller, finding none, he recommended that the pump be replaced. Since we did not have ready access to an exact replacement, the discharge piping would need to be modified to accommodate the new Liberty pump. And because the pump was non-stock at all of our local distributors on the Friday afternoon when you called us, it was going to be a few days before we could get ahold of the pump. In the end, you were uncomfortable with our recommendation. You pursued a second opinion -- fully within your rights, and the reason we provide an up front quote before we commence any work. That second provider was able to get the pump to work by "tapping" on the pump casing. In my 21 years of experience, simply freeing up a seized motor is rarely a permanent fix. Both myself and my technician were uncomfortable with the idea of a fix that we could not stand behind. Ultimately, we only charged the $99 service fee that was quoted at the time you scheduled the appointment. I returned your husbands call within 1 hour of the time he originally called on 10/13, and called again yesterday while traveling to an industry conference. It is regrettable to me that you had less than a 5 star experience, but I firmly believe that my staff conducted themselves professionally. Sincerely, Michael J Church

Very happy with the job that was done!
Description of Work: The Furnace was making a strange noise so called Churches about 8:00 am and they came out by 10:00 am...turns out the Blower Motor wasn't working and needing replaced. By 1:00 pm the new motor was installed. Superb professional speedy service. We went ahead and signed up for their service plan because of how great the service was this time.

I hired Church heating to service our Goodman furnace, the ac worked fine but not heat when I tried it our for the first time. I was aware of their service charge. I had never used this company before so I had little info to go on. I guess it was my mistake to leave my wife at home. She is not technical and had no knowledge of the problem. The only call I received was to let me know it would be around $475.00 which I said go ahead. By the time they were done the bill was $1198.00 and we still had a non-working unit. I did have them give an est for a new unit and they would have applied the service cost toward the new unit, but I went with Goff heating, since my faith in Church was gone after the repair bill. It took a letter to the BBB to get half of my money back. Make sure your aware of all of the possible charges when you hire a contractor.
Description of Work: We have a 4 year old Goodman furnace that apparently was damaged by lightning or voltage surge back in June, but of course didn't fire it up until this month. Unit worked on AC but not on heat.

Came out to do maintenance on my furnace and was told I needed 2 different parts The technician could not give me an estimate and said someone would get back to me and no one ever did. So I got a second opinion and was told the 2 parts he recommended was not even on my furnace and that no one ever cleaned or looked in my furnace as he showed the accumulation of dust on the inside. (cleaning was part of the maintenance contract) Called Mike Church and did get a refund, but still feel scammed

As I said when we spoke on the phone, I'm glad you let us know about the issue. Whenever you have employees, you have to take a certain leap of faith that they will represent you properly. Obviously this was not the case with Richard, who has since been terminated. I don't expect that this will restore your trust in us, but I thought it important to let you know that we take customer satisfaction very seriously.

The day started out awaking in the morning with the heat "out." I immediately texted my "previous" Heat/AC guy, a local one man contractor, who has done numerous AC runs to our home over the past several years, and who had sent a sub out when our furnace acted the same way about ten days earlier. Trouble was the guy shrugged his shoulders and said he couldn't tell what the problem was, but mysteriously it had begun to work again. Once again it failed about four days later, then again on the 18th. The text was never responded to, neither was a phone message left at noon. After another forty-five minutes I called Church. The woman who answered was extremely helpful, made a quick call, and had me scheduled for a few hours later and laid out the basic house call price, wow! A new customer says thanks! When the tech arrived he went right to work, giving me a time table of about how long a diagnosis would take, 20-25 minutes. Bingo, after about 20 minutes up from the basement he came. Told me what part was ailing and how much to replace it. Then, at 4:15 pm, he left Dunlap and went to the West side of South Bend to pick up the part, returning about an hour and 15 minutes later. He was very knowledgeable and polite. The work was completed within an hour of his return and has worked without a hitch since. If anything should go wrong I have a one year guarantee on parts and labor. I know who I'll be calling the next time I need Heating & AC work done. Thanks, a new customer and friend.

Church honored their warranty and technician did an excellant job. Will use then again.
Description of Work: We purchased our system from them in 2005. I have not used them for annual servicing. I noticed that the AC was not operating properly so I called and spoke with Mike Church and inquired about my warranty. He called me back shortly and said it was covered and that he could have a service man out the next day. The work involved removing the original air handler and replacing it with a new one. Six hours of labor. Execellant installation. NO charge for parts or labor.

Stay away from this company lied to us and even had tech come back to ask for documents and promised to email a quote rather than leaving it in writing.
Description of Work: Came out for a busted shower handle that broke off and flooded sprayed water everywhere. While here told us that all that needed to be done was to put the handle back in place nothing was broken. 4-14-2013 Handle flew off again and flooded the bathroom area caused cieling in dining room to collapse. Came back out and told us that they would be back the next day to repair at no cost to us. After returning refused to fix the cieling and gave a quote for additional cost of replacement in bathroom. Never addressed the issue of their failure to fix the problem in the first place which led to additional damage. Plan to contact BBB and a lawyer.

Our garbage disposal stopped working. We called Church and they told us there would be a $95.00 charge just to come out. We agreed to have them come. They came promptly and said we needed a new disposal. We agreed and the work was completed well in about fifteen minutes. They put in a new garbage disposal and it works well. The price is the problem and we did know before he started the work what it would cost, but by then we already had $95.00 invested and did not want to back out. The on line price of the disposal is $100.00, plus the $95.00 to come out and we will be generous and add $100.00 labor for 15 minutes. That would bring our cost to $295.00. We were told if we purchased their maintenance program our bill would be about $293.00 plus of course the cost of the maintenance contract--not sure what that was but I think about $225.00. Anyway we did not wish to purchase the maintenance program so out bill was $415.00 which I think is quite high and feel one should not have to purchase a maintenance program if one does not want to just to get a reasonable bill. I was very disappointed with this pricing and will not call them again.

Response from Church Plumbing & Heating Inc
Our pricing is based on a national database for average repair times for a qualified technician. In some situations our technicians are able to complete repairs much more quickly than others. When this occurs, the pricing can seem unfair. However, there are times when the opposite is true and it takes longer than we anticipated to complete a repair. When this happens, our "up front pricing" protects you from unexpected price increases. While certainly not perfect, we have found that this is the most fair way we can conduct business.

I spent almost $7000 for the last service. I have a yearly contract with them. So, they come out and service my air conditioner as well as my furnace once a year. If you have an emergency and need them to come out, then you don’t have to pay the service call if you have a contract with them. I have to pay for the parts and not for the call which is nice. I have had them for the last 3 years and I like them very much. They are very prompt and courteous. They do a good job.

So. The Zoning system was not working because one of the electric dampers had failed, and the old dial-type thermostats were not zonable, anyway. LOVE our control now! Church defined a plumbing error in the original construction. The cold water was not softened: only the hot water was softened. No wonder our house fixtures and small water machines like my water pic were salting up and failing! They fixed that, and then tested the water softness at cold and hot faucets to check themselves. Then the Solar panels: German and Spanish. NOT American. Dammusanyway! Where is our manufacturing base? Church created beautiful fit and finish, with care for integrity of the roof, They used pre-existent pathways from roof through the upper level to the lower level utility room. A high efficiency 128 gallon thermal storage water tank is part of the system, and the plumbing is exquisite... dare we say jewel-like in its finished state? And alll exposed pipes are insulated to prevent heat loss. So pretty. So how does it work? In terms of instant hot water, every where in the house, softened, and effective... it's wonderful. Did it save us any BTUs, therms, or hydrocarbon fuel use yet? Too soon to tell. But it looks pretty, works well, and we now have such bragging rights!
Description of Work: We became interested in energy efficiency, decreasing use of hydrocarbons, and becoming greener. First we installed computer controls on our three-zone HVAC system. We decided that we could decrease our use of natural gas if we put in a solar water heater. We wanted to do geothermal (actually, we had wanted to do that when we built the house 20 years ago, but no regional contractors were competent at it then). Our estimates for Geothermal water heating included HVAC, but OMG! Expensive at $9K per hole x 6 holes plus the cost of new equipment (?>75K?). That was not going to make ANY sense (not that the solar water heater system makes REAL fiscal sense, but it is sort of affordable for us AND it makes us feel REAL GOOD). We gave up on the HVAC aspect: we had installed new furnaces 2 years ago with a different company with whom we had spent a lot of money and about whom we were not happy... Our hot water requirements included preconditioning the well water from 45 degrees F out of the ground to 65-90 degrees F with solar heating. We added instant heat by a tankless water heater, boosting the sun-warmed water from about 90 degrees F to 130 degrees F at the tap. This sort of a temperature boost is very doable. We added a circulating pump so that the now-boosted hot water is instantly available at those faucets in the house which are most distant from the hot water system.
