Very well. I can't comment on the price, I've no idea how competitive it was but I doubt I would ever try anyone but JE Shekell for a job like this, especially after this job. I can't praise the installer enough.

I buy a plan for the seasonal things. On the price, I don't remember I think it's a couple of hundred dollars and they come out every three months. So, they check everything and occasionally they've done other things such as they've installed a new thermostat, things like that. Actually, that was on the initial visit, and that was an additional price. I've used them I think for a year and a half. It's reasonable, it's part of the package plan. Everything's been running pretty well. I just think they're pretty reliable, professional and easy to deal with. The interactions are very good. They explain what's going on if there is a problem they make sure that I understand what it is and I don't put any pressure on me to make a decision. I would say it's a good working relationship. It was an hour or an hour in a half to do the work, but there was something else that he found and I told him to go ahead and do that too. Everything was just as it was.
Description of Work: They serviced the air conditioner.

I needed a new service entrance on the side of my house. My main breaker was old and feeling a little spongy as well. Joe showed up bright and early and did a fantastic job with the new mast, weatherhead etc. He was able to find a replacement main for my old service panel and all is good. I know I was in good hands, had exactly what I needed was done and not a penny more than necessary was spent.

Repairman showed up about 90 minutes early which was great because they called first to make sure it was ok. He checked the thermostat as well as the air conditioner. He found out the issue quickly and resolved it quickly. He then provided a routine service/maintenance check. I feel he was honest and that the price was good. I also want to,add that the repairman was very polite and respectable.

Called for a service appointment at 10am on Friday and they arrived around 1:30pm (much earlier than my initial appt for the following Monday). My service tech, Justin, was great. Very knowledgeable and personable. I stuck around while he worked and learned quite a bit about the proper functioning of the HVAC unit. I would definitely use JE Shekell again.

Although slightly pricey, you get what you pay for. In this case highly skilled, union tradesmen. My plumber Steve was a thorough professional who tackled a tough job. Because some newer sinks are deeper, traps and drainpipe did not align very well. Steve had to do some creative sculpting underneath to get everything attached. Extremely pleased with his work

Sheckell is expensive and I have used them before. But by golly they get here on time and do the job quickly. Their work never had to be redone! They worked with my schedule to have both the Plummer and electrician out at the same time so I could get to bed to work that night!

Joe did a great job. Got here on time - went straight to work. Asked all the appropriate questions, explained the options to me. Got it done quickly and efficiently. Neat and clean installation. Explained everything he was doing. A quality and professional job. In and out. I'm very pleased with the responsiveness at taking my order at the Shekell office, finding a convenient time that worked well for me, sending an excellent electrician out to my home and getting the job done right. Fair and reasonable price. Will definitely use them again. Thank you.

I looked them up an Angie's List and on Better Business Bureau. On Angie's List, it said there's a 5% senior discount and when I asked them about that they said they do not have a senior discount. It was very good. The young man that came over was a bit new. He actually called someone else and asked their opinion because he was trying to find out what was wrong which I thought was a good idea. They're well known in the area and they're prompt.

The plumber worked with me to find the cheapest and easiest solution. Very pleased. They are not incredibly cheap, but the expense matches the service.
Description of Work: I had several plumbing issues to investigate from a home inspection. They were able to come out within 24 hours of calling them, but they could not provide anything more than a very vague time frame. They did call when they had a repairman ready though so I was not trapped at home waiting.

The house had been hit by a power surge/possible lightning and our refrigerator and ac/heat had been knocked out. I had two different technicians come to the house. One for the electricity and one for the heat and air. The electrician was quick and efficient. The heat and air technician had to come out 2 days in a row to fix the problem. Justin was awesome, very personable, and tenacious. He kept me in the loop by explaining what he was doing and why. He discussed how much parts were. He put everything he had into figuring out what all was wrong with the heat/ac unit. When he couldn't figure out the final thing wrong because he had exhausted all possibilities that he knew to do, he called in more help and had a team help him. They worked tirelessly as a team and figured it out. When the heat/ac goes out again or if I ever buy a new one, I am requesting Justin. By the way, he never pushed a new unit sale on me and for that reason I would buy one from him. For those that complain about how much they charge, remember you are paying for quality of work. They fix it right the first time. So, if you need a good heat/ac guy call JE Shekell and ask for Justin. I know I will.
Description of Work: Two different technicians were called out to my house due the house being hit by a power surge/possible lightning. One an electrician and one for the heat/ac. The electrician checked the panel and my wiring for me and explained what the surge most likely did to my refrigerator. It basically fried it. He then worked with the heat/ac technician to confer his findings. The heat/ac had also been "surged". It fried a control board and a transformer. These were replaced. He also was very thorough in doing an amazing job.
