It’s not so bad. I like the service. I have no idea what they could do better. They are fine with me now. The only time I had experience was having the vents cleaned.

The technician was great. Very professional and thorough. He arranged a follow-up for the system replacement estimate and that happened the following business day. I have a solid estimate and am working on the financing. The company has excellent financing options although I am choosing a different approach.
Description of Work: I needed to have the annual tune-up done on my A/C, get an idea of how much longer it would last, and get an estimate for replacing it.

Upon beginning work on the clogged sink, the plumber stated that the stack needed to be replaced as the "iron stack was in need of replacement." Scheduled for replacement. While plumber was hammering into basement dry wall to find stack, I noticed that the stack was actually solid copper and showed no sign of decay or leaks. I said to the plumber that I did not believe the entire stack needed to be replaced. At that point my 78 year old mother, who I purchased the service for, called to me from the floor above. I went to see what she needed, when I came back the pumber had cut out the copper stack in multiple areas. He had also created a mess as all the muck in the stack, flew all over the basement. In addition to not waiting until I returned to approve the continued distruction, he cut an electric line with his sawzal. I believe this happened in his haste to cut the pipe out before I returned. However, this madness did not end, while he was testing the PVC stack he put in, he left the kitchen sink running, left the house and caused a flood in the kitchen. I was unaware he had left the water running while he was not supervising the area. I refused to pay until the electric was fixed, the water cleaned from the kitchen and the mess from the basement was cleared. He, as directed by his supervisor, attempted to get my credit card number and "not charge it until everything was taken care of." I refused. Frankly, if my time wasn't more valuable, I would take them to small claims for the entire amount of the purchase, as I feel the installation was unnessary, unprofessional and done with the lowest quality of skills possible. I would never use this service again and I would recommend you go elsewhere.

Hello [Member Name Removed], We apologize that you are not completely satisfied with the job completed. We want all customers to be 100% satisfied and we would love the opportunity to make this right for you. How can we make this right for you? We do believe that there is some difference in the job: The cost was $1241.00 and here are the notes that we have: Upon attempting to rod kitchen sink drain line, galvanized drain line began to crumble. Advised customer against running cable through drain due to how brittle it has become. Recommend replacing drain line to he main stack. With Approximately 20 feet of 1 1/2" pvc $1241.00 Cut out old galvanized and copper drain line from back of the sink through basement ceiling (had to remove ceiling to access drain line) while cutting out ceiling hit a power line and shorted out electric to the basement and refrigerator contacted Nick Gardella and he is sending an electrician to repair. Replaced copper drain line to stack with 2" PVC And under sink with 1 1/2" pvc. Installed new bag trap and tested drain. While testing and cleaning up the sink overflowed. Cleaned up water and checked drain line again, drain is flowing properly without any leaks. Cleaned up basement and cleaned stairs with stain remover.

Went well. Jeff Spaulding arrived on time. Very professional. Explained additional services, but did not push. I did pay for an additional recharge of the coolant, but he said it was not an absolute necessity, but at the next check it would tell me if there's a leak if the level is low again.

We had trouble getting filter to slide in properly. They were called to make an adjustment. They also had trouble with it fitting in the slot. The technician had brought with him a thin piece of metal that he was able cut to a proper size for the filter to easily slide in. This made changing the filter much easier. Schneller has been very responsive to our needs.
Description of Work: Extended duct work in attic to make our furnace more efficient. Replaced metal filters in furnace which were too heavy for us to clean. Replaced them with light card board type filters that we change every three or four months.

It went better than I expected. They found in checking the venting, that I had a faulty sleeve which they repaired. This wouldn't have been found by someone doing a normal service. They did a great service. The only comment that I had was that they were slightly difficult to get scheduled, which is very reasonable given that it is the summer time.

An air conditioning tune-up on my new airconditioner only 2 years old cost over $280 after finding problems that did not exist. I called 2 businesses after the service from Schneller and was told they were upselling because they cannot make money on a $49 Angies List tune-up. The technician was at my house for 4 hrs. doing things that were not necessary and also advising that I 'may' need a new unit. The people that installed my system came out [for free] to check the work against the invoice and showed me the 'work' was unneeded. So very disappointed that some in the HVAC industry can be as dishonest as the auto repair industry

[Member Name Removed], we apologize that you feel this way and you could be right. We apologize for the frustration of having to call other companies in. Our techs try to check hvac systems thoroughly and completely and then advise customers of their findings to make a decision on what they want to do. Here are the notes that the tech left on the ticket of findings. Not a way to try to sell, just system information that is real and exists. Not sure why the company that installed would have missed these items: Performed completed air conditioner precision tune-up. This includes: Checking thermostat operation, verified evaporator coil condition, inspected condensate drains, cleaned condenser coil, lubricated all moving parts, tightened and checked all electrical connections, monitored air conditioning refrigerant pressures for proper balance, measured cooling temperature drop, checked blower for cleanliness, checked airflow for proper levels, monitor starting capabilities and operation of compressor. Replaced filter with customer supply. Recommend sticking with the pleated filter. Humidifier does not have a damper. Recommend getting one installed to close the bypass in the summertime. Will help help with comfort. Cleaned condensate tub and flushed with bleach.I Added drain treatment tablets to coils pan and pump. Return static pressure (before filter): .1 Return static pressure (after filter): .41 Supply static pressure (before coil): .47 Supply static pressure (after coil): .3 TOTAL SYSTEM STATIC PRESSURE: .88"wc *Static pressure is the pressure inside your duct work which is created by the blower motor while it is running. Static pressure can be related to blood pressure in that, if you have healthy blood pressure you have the proper blood supply delivered through your circulatory system. This contributes to a healthy body. If you have poor static pressure, you do not have the proper air flow through your ventilation system and into your home. This contributes to poor equipment efficiency, comfort issues, and can be detrimental to the equipment itself. The target total-system static pressure is 0.50 inches of H2O. The total system static pressure is the sum of the return static pressure after the filter and the supply static pressure before the coil. Temperature Drop- 14' , 64'RT / 50'ST , 66%RH

Mike quickly resolved the issue. He also checked the unit over to make sure all was in working order. He suggested a maintenance agreement which I purchased for twice a year check ups. I liked getting an email letting me know when he was on the way. Mike did a great job and was very friendly and professional.

I was pleased with the work that was done. The only glitch was in the scheduling. Instead of responding to my email, they called and when I called back, they didn't seem to have my order. Also, I would have preferred getting an email of the questionnaire before the visit. Overall the technician did an excellent job, including changing the filter and advice on how to improve the efficiency of my air conditioner.
