No problem.
Description of Work: Routine fall central heater a/c check. The price was an Angie's list special, but it was good. We didn't sign up for a contract but probably should have, since now it's time for the spring check. The tech was professional, explained to my wife about the humidifier filter as well as the air filter, and did the job.

Description of Work: I used the service for the spring maintenance on my AC unit, name of the technician who came in was Rick C. He was very knowledgeable and polite and explained the work that was going to be done ( I'm a first time home buyer and had lots of questions). He went through checking and cleaning the unit and at the same time explained me what he was doing. The total time spent was close to 1.5 hours and to my knowledge everything was done from the checklist given to me. The technician did not try to sell or pitch in additional work ( my unit is close to 12 years old). I'm satisfied with the work done as the AC unit is running fine.

Description of Work: My A/C broke and the earliest Snell Heating & A/C could come was Friday, April 19. I have fish and a dog, so I have to have A/C fixed sooner, so I contacted Snell to have the service call canceled and contacted Mannix A/C from Angie's List they are coming out Thursday, April 18. Thanks, Michael Breson

Description of Work: Moved into a new home. The home inspector couldn't find the air filter because he was probably the worst home inspector ever. Purchased a special from Snell through Angies list. They were very flexible and accomodating. The guy from Snell found the air filter in less than a minute. It was behind two seperate panels. He serviced the Unit. I also had him service the humidifier which was not working. He got that working and changed the filter for that too. Overall excellent service. I already booked them for the AC tune up.

Description of Work: We purchased the 21 point inspection deal & were immediately contacted by Snell to set up our appt. Italo, the Snell technician came out within a few days and performed the inspection as well as other minor repairs. We were impressed with Italo's expertise and patience, as we peppered him with lots of questions/concerns. We were so happy with the appt that we also purchased a maintenance package.

Description of Work: I've used Snell & Son for heating and cooling maintenance via annual contract for many years. In general I have been satisfied with their service up until their last 2 semiannual maintenance visits. During the spring 2012 inspection a "weak capacitor" was found on the AC unit. They replaced the capacitor and charged $258 for the job which took about 15 minutes. I looked up the item on the Internet and it lists for about $11. When I asked the technician to justify the price, he showed me a sheet which was actually the price of a separate housecall and replacement part. I told him it made no sense to charge as if it were a separate housecall since he was already here on the prepaid annual contract. He had spent little extra time and the travel costs were already included in the contract visit. He made an attempt to justify the unjustifiable and I said I'd speak to his supervisor. Later I spoke with a manage at Snell and told him that this was patently unfair, especailly for someone who had used their company for years. After some back and forth, the manager reluctantly cut the price in half. This fall, during the prewinter inspection, the technician found that a saddle valve to a humidifier was clogged. He offered to replace it for $258. I was told again that this was the price they charge for replacing the valve on a new housecall. I went through the same drill with the technician as I had during the spring episode, but to no avail. If I had decided to have him make a separate return visit, with the extra time and fuel expense that would entail, the repair price would still be the same. The technician said "that's they way we bill for a replacement part". I decided not to have Snell do the repair. I can only believe that they persist in this unseemly practice because we live in an affluent area and not enough customers complain. I would hope that other service companies handle repairs for their service contract customers in a more reasonable manner. I have decided to take my business elsewhere.

Description of Work: $399 Whole House Humidifier Installed. Angie's List ad Well, It was sort of a good deal. It turned out that the price of $399 was for some kind of humidifier that is attached to the air-intake vent in the hallway; BUT to get the humidifier that goes on the heating unit with water line to spray moisture into vents throughtout the house, the cost was $150 more. The technicians were very courteous and, at the beginning, they did tell me of the price switch and product difference. Interestingly, both types were on the truck. I was upset over the bait & switch technique, since I had called the company for more information and spoke at length with a "front desk" person before I bought the Big Deal. That person told me that a Carrier or Honeywell unit would be installed, and there had to be room in the furnace area with space for the uni,t and nearby water supply. When faced with the "new Price" I agreed to pay $550 for the humidifier that goes on the furnace unit. It seemed like the air-intake vent set up would not be very effective for my house. So, thinking things were settled, I was then told that the unit that was going to be installed was a "bottom of the line" unit, not Carrier or Honeywell. These 2 were more expensive! The final solution: I paid the $550 price and Snell Heating installed a Honeywell dehumidifier which is working wery well. In the end, I wound up paying the same price as the quote I received from the company who installed my HVAC unit in April 2012! The company owner never did explain the discrepancies in his Angie's List offer. It was very misleading. I assumed the businesses offering deals through Angie's List would carefully check the wording before submitting to the List for publication.

Description of Work: Snell came on the day (Thursday) called to troubleshoot a water heater problem (non-igniting pilot light). Identified malfunctioning valve and gave two options: to repair the valve of the almost twenty-year old water heater or replace the water heater. I took the technician's advice and scheduled a replacement the following Tuesday. They were in by 9:30am and out by 4pm. I did not comparison shop for prices, but the cost seemed erasable to me. I am completely satisfied.

Description of Work: Snell inspected our furnace and air conditioning unit as outlined in the "Deal" we purchased. They brought several items to our attention that our other contract company had failed to mention. They were very thorough and discussed all options as to replacement, etc., with absolutely no "sales pitch" agenda. We are very comfortable with them and now have a contract for our annual maintenance and if we need to purchase anything new, we will go to them.
