The technician arrived on schedule. Several days earlier to his scheduled arrival, the furnace began to make serious noise. The technician found obvious sources of the problem and he explained what was required. With my approval, He then acquired the necessary replacement parts and proceeded to complete the parts installation, as required. He did request and receive assistance from his home base contact technician to verify some aspects of the project, as a team effort. The good news is that the replacement parts and the overall check up ended with a complete examination and safety review of our furnace. The furnace has been given an opportunity to show off it's good condition, during the recent weeks of Winter.
Description of Work: The original plan was to do a routine inspection and check-up of the furnace.

Response from Schneller Knochelmann Plumbing Heating Air
Hello [Member Name Removed], we are sorry that you were not satisfied with the tune up. We will work with the technician on changing filters. However here is everything that we did test for the $50 tune up. Completed a Precision Tune-up on 90% furnace. I have checked thermostat operation , cleaned flame sensor , checked gas pressure , checked igniter , cleaned condenstae trap and primed with water , checked temperature rise , checked filter , checked all electrical connections , inspected heat exchanger , checked blower capacitor as well as blower cleanliness , checked amp draw on inducer motor , checked static pressure , checked combustion with analyzer and wiped out system. Temperature Rise: 52'f Flue Gas Temperature:118'f CO ppm: 35ppm Oxygen %: 8% Combustion Efficiency: 92% CO detector? Not installed/hooked up/working. Highly recommend getting these installed and working. Looked at heat exchanger through high limit. Found no visible cracks through what I am able to see. Combustion results confirm heat exchanger is good at this time. Furnace drain trap is not serviceable. Took apart, but pvc was glued to the trap. Customers air filter is very dirty and allergen. Recommend more frequent filter changes and to switch to a basic pleaded filter instead of an allergen filter. Allergen filters catch more but can be very restrictive of air flow. Basic pleaded filter is the best balance of filtration and air flow. Both capacitors tested at 99%. Blower compartment is very dirty, including blower wheel, motor and ducts. System operating at this time. Homeowner/ decision maker was not home at time of tune up so feel free to give me a call about any questions.

We were pleased with the quality and price of the service. Service tech Ryan did a thorough and skillful job. He found problems we didn't know existed, and gave us several estimates for the work to fix them. We're having him come back to do those necessary repairs and also to add an air cleaner to our system, something we've desperately needed for quite some time. We must mention that Schneller Plumbing Heating & Air Conditioning apparently does normally charge an $89 service fee, but we had $49 Angie's List coupon so that is all we paid. We want to note that normally we refuse to deal with home service companies that charge fees to walk in the door. That is why our ratings in this review for Price and Professionalism were both A's. Otherwise, those two scores would have been much lower. We firmly believe work estimates should be free of charge. We only patronize companies who are willing to state all charges up-front and without charge.

[Member Name Removed], this is a wonderful review and we appreciate you taking the time to write it out. We love to hear from our customers. We understand your feeling on service charges and will take it into consideration when coming up with future deals. Yes, the service charge does cover the cost of labor, trucks, gas, insurance, and etc... . Once in the home we promise to always give you a price before completing any work and you have the choice to complete it or not. We don't have any hidden costs or ever charge overtime fees. Once we give you a price we stand by it. Thanks!!

Great price. We got a discount since we replaced both the furnace and the air conditioner. No heavy sales tactics. The sales person provided a lot of information and let us choose which units we wanted without any pressure. We have been very pleased with Schneller for year for service and now with the new units.

Schneller came to diagnose the issue. I thought the AngieList deal ($100 gets you $200 of service) would cover the cost of them to diagnose the issue. But Schneller invoiced me for $425.00, just to diagnose the issue. So that's $325.00 out of pocket (with the AnglieList deal applied) just for them to diagnose the issue. In schneller's defense, they did have to cut a whole in the neighbor below me's ceiling, to diagnose the issue. A whole that they did not patch. Schneller told me I would have to work out getting the whole patched with my neighbor. Luckily my neighbor is a handy-man, and was able to patch his ceiling himself. What's worse, after the diagnosing the problem, they told me I needed to replace all the piping, and they estimated it would cost $2,500.00. My neighbor and I ended up fixing the leak ourselves with some gutter-sealant and $20 in parts. Yea it's a jerry-rig fix, but the seal will probably last 20 years. Scnheller employees that arrived were professional, but their prices are just way too high!
Description of Work: I live in a condo building (3rd floor unit). My neighbor who lives below me, informed me there was a water stain on their bathroom ceiling that recently appeared. And was beginning to get bigger. My guest bathroom shower drain, specifically the drain pipe, was leaking down to their ceiling.

We have been using Schneller for the past 5+ years for heating, cooling, and plumbing services. Never had a problem. I called them Tuesday morning and told them about the leak in my basement, that it was not an emergency, but I wanted a plumber to come in the next few days. They gave me an appointment for Thursday 3pm. A receptionist called me at 2:40 pm on Thursday and said they would have to reschedule due to an emergency. I said ok, I could wait another day. She said she could reschedule for Monday. I told her I didn't want to wait another 4 days of water leaking into my basement where I am continually having to use towels to sop up the puddles. So she said "Ok let me look if I can fit you in tomorrow...hmm...nope." I can understand if my appointment gets bumped for an emergency, but they can't come out for another 4 days? If they had to reschedule me they should at the very least get me in the next morning. This is unprofessional and unacceptable, especially since I have been a loyal customer for years. They have lost my business.

Not well. Expensive, multiple missed appointments, I ended up with 2 new toilets that I'm not sure I needed, and my shower still leaks into the garage (they couldn't find the source of the leak). They did dig up the main in the yard and replace the "L", but they cut down my lilac tree (not bush - trees are much more rare and harder to grow) without telling me...I went outside and it was in pieces in the driveway!

Service was cancelled, as furnace blew up. I cancelled my 10/30/17 appt on 10/27/17b for this reason. I requested a technician call me back re: installion of new furnace & a clogged drain. Their rep stated a technician would call me back that day. Still haven't heard from them! I NEED MY $49 RETURNED!!! JOB WAS NOT DONE...CANCELLED WELL AHEAD OF APPT TIME!!
Description of Work: I paid for $49 furnace tune-up on 10/20/2017. I called Schneller on 10/27/2017 to cancel (my appt was set for 10/30/2017 by 10am). My furnace was not even functional & only filled house with carbon monoxide. I had to buy a new furnace. I asked to have a tecnician respond back re: a drain problem & furnace install. Schneller rep said someone would get back with me. As of today, they have not returned my call. I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED...THEY NEVER PERFORMED SERVICE OR RESPONDED AFTER I HAD TO CANCEL INITIAL SERVICE DUE TO NEEDING A NEW FURNACE! Regards, Joy Richardson

Hello [Member Name Removed], We apologize for the experience that you had. We had your tune-up scheduled for 10/30/2017. You cancelled it and Angie's List refunded your money ($49). You did not but the furnace from us or even have us out for service. Are you sure this review is on the right company site? We did not play a role in diagnosing your system. Thanks and Merry Christmas!
