The estimate we got was high and didn't address our major question of how to get additional A/C load to the second floor. We have had other work done by Shekell. The work was done satisfactorily, but Shekell is always high and I think their guys tend to pad their time. Took one guy four days to complete an annual check on our A/C. Never really got a good answer as to why took so long
Description of Work: We got an estimate on replacing our heating and air conditioning units.

We appreciated the professional courtesy and concern for the problem with the water heater.
Description of Work: The day before Christmas Eve, they came to determine why the water heater wasn't working. Even though it was late when I called, a technician arrived and took the necessary steps to solve the problem. A return trip was necessary to repair an additional problem that surfaced about a week later. Again, the technician and staff were very helpful.

They've been around Evansville for a long time. They had a good track record and their reviews were positive. They were very responsive. They came out immediately and did an estimate. I had a couple of other estimates done but theirs was the most thorough one. They got right on it and replaced it all in a day. Everything is fine.
Description of Work: I used J. E. Shekell Inc in early July to take out the old furnace and air conditioning unit and put in a new furnace. They also replaced the heat pump.

Everything went great no added costs or anything unexpected. We got the biggest and best units that they had and also added an all house air purification unit to this which added to the overall cost of course. The total price before rebates was $8500.00. But we got a manufacture rebate of $1200.00 and also a tax credit of $1500.00 So all and all it ended up being $5800.00. We are very pleased with the work and these units have cut our bills in half. No more freezing to try and keep the bills down! We still use them for our Spring and Fall tune ups to the units and would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: They installed a heating and air conditioning unit. They also did duct work and cleaned out overflow drain for the unit. Did the vent work and also worked with the roofers that we had doing work at the same time.

The last contact was to have a new a/c unit installed. They gave us an estimate, we set up installation and it was completed within the time they told us.
Description of Work: We've used Shekell for about 8 years for HVAC & plumbing. They have always been quick to respond and followed through on all elements of the project from timing to completion. We would not hesitate to call them for any home related situation. They may be slightly higher priced but one thing we've learned, you get what you pay for. They seem very concerned about keeping their customers happy so they will return.

I like them because they come out the same day that I call them. They try to make an effort to get here as quick as they can and they are very accommodating. They are just real well known in this area. I like them that they are very punctual and very professional. They always put their booties on their feet and everything. I never had a problem with them. They are expensive.
Description of Work: I use J. E. Shekell Inc. all the time. They do everything other than garage door. They just do everything like plumbing, electrical, Heating and Air, etc. The last time I used them was about two weeks ago for replacing a faucet in the basement.

Overall a good experience. They were able to address all the issues I had during this period. They always arrived when they said they would and called to let me know when the technicians were on their way.
Description of Work: Air Conditioning unit was not operating properly so I used Angie's list to search for a repair person. They had the most reports with the highest grade so I contacted this company. They were able to come that morning. The repair person wore protective covering on his shoes. He performed an examination of the inside unit before looking at the A/C unit outside. This was $223.00 Also had an electrical issue with a circuit that kept tripping. Repair person was very professional. It took a checking a few different things but the repair was made. He was very helpful. This was $184.00 During a period of heavy rains and flooding I began to notice that my sump pump was not kicking on. They sent a plumber out to check and my crawl space was full of water. He got the pump working and said he would come back when the water was gone. I was not charged at this point. The company called me back less than a week later to check the status. When the same technician returned he determined the sump pump needed to be replaced. He was also very professional. This cost was $434.00.

I was very pleased at the professionalism and competence of J E Shekell. I will use them again and recommend them to others.
Description of Work: My home has a fairly new, top-of-the-line Carrier Infinity HVAC system. The original dealer that installed it obviously did not know what they were doing in terms of proper installation or configuration. There were times the heat would not turn on. I had to manually turn off the system at least once a month in order to "reset" it. Repeated visits by the original installer (a company well known for installing HVACs in volume in big subdivisions) could not figure out the problem. Once it was evident that the company was not going to fix the problem, I asked around to friends and coworkers. Many of them had opinions one way or the other about J E Shekell. Most of them said something to the effect that "they are good, but they are expensive." A few people told me they had negative experiences with them. I chose to telephone them, explained the situation. I told them I was contacting them because I needed expert help with the Carrier Infinity System. They told me they had several service techs who were specially trained in the system. It turned out my unit had a factory defect issue that was well known to the service person. The other company was clueless about it. After a main logic board was replaced, the Shekell rep also showed me several shoddy venting and wiring issues that the other company performed. Those matters were corrected quickly. He also showed me features and instructions pertaining to the Infinity System that I was not aware of. When I got my bill, it was about $200 higher than I expected. I called and talked to the service manager and informed him of this. He said he'd call me back. He called back and explained all the charges. They adjusted their charges to my satisfaction. The unit has performed flawlessly since Shekell fixed it.

We have used J. E. Shekell for about 5 years and just continue to be amazed by just how good they are. Additionally, they are usually below what we expect to pay. On this job they diagnosed the problem (which we knew we had), promptly quoted, and when we OK'd the job installed everything in less than a week! We admire their integrity and use them for ALL HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical needs. We are considering remodeling our kitchen and will use them for both plumbing and electrical if we decide to do it. Simply put a WONDERFUL Company!
Description of Work: Replaced three zone ventilators, new thermostadts, humidifier, and more.

For years we have had them come out during the spring and fall to check our air conditioners and furnaces very thoroughly. They would do any maintenance that need to be done. They give us a discount because we service two units at the same time. They have always been very polite and professional as any company could possibly be. We have always received excellent service from them.

They are awesome and amazing. If they could fix everything in my house I would never hire anyone else. I love them. They are on time. The guys that work for them are really nice people; they are not skanky or dirty. They are very professional and very sweet. They are gentle and kind people. They hire the most amazing people. Every single person that has been here has been super nice and super professional. They are clean. Their prices are really reasonable. When I call to make appointments they remember me and they have thousands of customers in the area. They are awesome.

Everything went very smoothly, as mentioned above. My only contact with them personally, was by phone or email. They handled the entire process from start to finish. I did have to purchase a light fixture for the front porch and they came back and installed it. The inspection went well and I now have electric service. And, they came in below the original estimate. I have subsequently requested, received and approved a proposal from them to install a new furnace. I will report on that upon completion.
Description of Work: I recently purchased this property and because it had been empty for more than a year, the electrical had to be brought up to code and inspected. J.E. Shekell obtained the permit, completed the work, and contacted the inspector. Because I live out of town, the entire process was done by phone and my daughter was there to let them in. She told me that the electrician was very nice.
