Exactly as promised.
Description of Work: We had a leaking shower/bath that had been repaired in the past, and we expected that we needed to rework the entire shower (1957 vintage). We did. So, step one was to cut of the water to that leak, and that's what we called Shaefer for. They capped the water supply to the shower/bath, a temporary measure while we decide what to do next. The came over later the same day and did the job.

I was very pleased with the service, the professionalism and the QUICK repair! He checked the system out, told me about some things that could reduce my energy bill, and got the house cooled down fast. I was so impressed with the service that I signed a service agreement with the company. No pressure, but thorough explanations and options insight!

Excellent. Service person, Richard, was very professional and courteous. He explained problem with A/C in layman terms and provided future preventive measures to take to avoid problems. I used the coupon provided by Shafer Services to reduce my service charge, making the price very reasonable. A great experience.
Description of Work: My A/C unit was continuously running. The cause was found quickly and resolved with only a service charge.

Overall experience was one of the best I have had with a service company in years. This company totally gets taking care of their customers in a timely fashion.
Description of Work: Initially, I had a fan in the A/C unit replaced, but the unit was close to 25 years old, so I opted to talk to the salesperson about a new heat/AC unit for the home. Between the day of the fan replacement and the date for the new unit install, I had a bad leak in the condenser/water line. Of course, it was a Sunday, but when I called I was assured they would send someone out right away to look at it and restore the old unit enough so I would have A/C (in 100 degree + weather). They did and it was fixed within a half hour. They came on that Monday and Tuesday, installed the new unit, and had to return a couple of times to make adjustments. Everyone I spoke with or had in my home was courteous, concerned when things were not working just right, and prompt. I highly recommend this company to anyone and I plan to continue using them for semi-annual maintenance.

Great service! The serviceman was on time and was very helpful. He had challenges to overcome since the outdoor unit is on the roof of my condo building and access proved difficult. But he got up there (and made sure to annotate on my paperwork where the access was in case someone else ever has to come out to service the HVAC) and performed the checks he needed. He pointed out potential problem areas and possible solutions, but didn't push hard to fix them on the spot. He told me what could wait and what might be important to fix sooner rather than later. I was very impressed and glad I signed up for a maintenance agreement. I would unhesitatingly recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: I called them to request a check-up of my a/c unit and to establish a maintenance agreement. The serviceman came to the house and conducted a thorough check-up to include the indoor and outdoor parts of the unit.

Absolutely superb from the initial conversation about courses of action to the last wave. Always on time, polite, totally trustworthy, and they even clean up after themselves. I can leave the house in their care and know that I do not have to worry about anything. This was not the first job - they have also installed a PRV and water heater. Every job is the same - perfect!
