Schiffmann Heating And Cooling

Our AC stopped working on one of the hottest days to date this year! Mike Schiffmann arrived on short notice and quickly took care of the issue!! He had our AC up and running in short order, and ensured it was properly working thru a couple of on/off/temp change cycles. We highly recommend Mike.

Our ten year old heat pump system wasn't configured right by the builder and wasted a lot of power, while never cooling that well. It was a single 4-ton unit which was not zoned so when it ran it cooled the entire two story house. Schiffmann Heating and Cooling has replaced a number of original units in our neighborhood so I wanted to replace ours before it died also. Mike Schiffmann came right out and discussed the options. He said the right way to do a single unit on a two story home like ours is to zone it, but the best way is two independent units. We took his recommendation of a 2-ton unit for each level, with a SEER rating of 15. This two unit setup costs more up front but is a worthwhile investment because it gives the best comfort and efficiency with cost effective, reliable equipment. Since my existing unit was still running, I was in no hurry to replace it but after getting a really big electric bill in June I had enough. The install took place in August and even starting at 6 am the attic becomes an oven by noon. But they got the upstairs unit running so we could sleep in comfort, and then finished the job the next day. This installation was complicated because the upstairs ducts had to be seperated from the downstairs ducts. Each set now runs to its own air handler in the attic. A second freon line set had to be run down the side of the house and a second thermostat installed. A return was installed in the master bedroom for better air flow, and a vent which the builder had never cut out was installed. Having seen poor workmanship by the builder, I can certainly say Schiffmann did a beautiful job. They fabricated the supply and return plenum boxes from sheet metal, sealed them inside and out, insulated them, installed collars and tight connections to the ducts. Wires and coolant lines were neatened up, drain traps and drip pans installed. Coolant lines purged, vacuumed and charged properly. I opted for the long life filters so they fabricated the return plenums for that. Now that the system is running, I can see it makes a huge difference. The airflow with the newer technology is superior, and two units can easily hold my setpoints, if not bring the temperature down some during the hottest part of the day.

My AC went out in the height of the summer. I asked on my neighborhood Facebook page and found Mike, who is the owner of this company. I was astonished that he made it to my house in under 30 minutes! I knew I could trust him immediately. Mike is the main person who operates even in your home and he is incredibly knowledgeable and professional to a tee! He installed a new system for me and truly did a fantastic job. Warranty and materials were spot on and the price was about the same as anywhere. Mike has checked in on me and the unit twice since he completed the job. Couldn't be happier or have a stronger recommendation. I even asked for his card to pass to those in need.

Their service was excellent. For the new unit install, they were punctual and professional. They quickly had our house cool again. They were careful to be sure to explain the new thermostat and all parts of the new unit that would need to be checked after the cooling season. I was pleased with their prices, financing, and the work they did.

Mike was amazing. My air conditioning stopped working on one of the hottest days in spring. Mike was at my house within 24 hours, diagnosed the problem, and had my unit up and working before I got home from work. He even went the extra mile and checked and changed a dirty filter. When the air quit working, I feared the worst, but Mike was able to accurately diagnose the problem and provide the required service. Because of his character and expertise, I had no doubt that Mike would treat me right. He did not try and sell me unnecessary add-ons and the work performed was completed to the highest standard. If I ever need anything related to heating and air, the only person I will call will be Mike Schiffmann.

Old A/C unit was out after coming home on Memorial Day evening. Returned our call that night & was there early the next morning. He gave us a couple of options & thoroughly explained them. Promptly ordered & installed the new system, excellent work & our house is cool again. Very happy with price, service, quality of work.

We contacted Mike Schiffmann on Tuesday when we noticed that the main floor A/C unit was not functioning properly. The fan was operating but there no cool air was circulating. Mike was kind enough to return my call within 30 minutes, even though this is the busiest season for him. Although he was fully booked for the rest of the week, he managed to find a window to come and check out our unit. Not only that, but he asked a lot of questions about the problem on the phone and made some recommendations as to what we could do to make things a little more comfortable before the inspection. When the day of the inspection came (just 2 days after our initial conversation), he called ahead to let us know exactly when he would arrive. He figured out relatively quickly (within less than 5 minutes) what the issue was and took some Freon level measurements. He estimated that we would need ~5 gallons of Freon as both units were low. First thing however he replaced the capacitor for the main unit that had deteriorated significantly and was way below the proper operating levels. The main floor unit started immediately to our relief. We went to the attic and Mike inspected everything. He is very polite and knowledgeable and gave me some very important tips that should help me take better care of the A/C system in the long run. We then went back outside and he replenished the Freon to acceptable levels. His initial estimate was dead on! Amazing! You can really tell he's a professional, although by then it was completely obvious to me. :) His initial cost estimate was also spot on. Before leaving Mike took the time to inform me about the benefits of upgrading the A/C units and that my units are getting pretty old. I knew that, but it made a lot of difference to get hist professional opinion. He also presented some options and explained what would be the most cost effective choices for our house/situation. I have not made up my mind just yet, plus I think my current units still have some life into them, but I no longer need to worry about whom to call when I do decide to go for the upgrade. I would definitely recommend Mike to anybody with an A/C need in a heartbeat and I would absolutely employ his services again!

AC quit cooling. Mr. Schiffmann came out the very next day despite his busy schedule. Explained everything about my unit and showed me the trouble. Then he charged it up, and it is still cooling. Gave me a fair price on a new unit which I will soon need. Very professional and thorough. I will definitely have this company replace my unit in the future.

Very quick turnaround time from diagnosis to installation of new system. The estimate was very clear. Also, the recommendation for new system verses costly repairs was well explained. The date & time promised was met.

Outstanding, In my previous home he was able to install a new unit , he took care of the clean up and disposal, cleaned up after each day and took care of everything, I didn't have to lift a finger, i am very happy with the unit the job went smoothly and i'm impressed with the efficiency of the new air conditioner. The manufacture actually came out and assess the installation who were also very impressed with this companies work. They kept us informed with all the stages of the work and his follow up service is excellent. He also added his own maintenance plan to the job as well as the warranty on the product. He is very personable and his technicians are very knowledge above, professional and go above and beyond their work.

Excellent service - installed in a timely manner – cleaned all areas after installation – arrived on time.

I woke up on one of the coldest mornings this year with no heat. I contacted Michael Schiffmann with Schiffmann Heating and Cooling around 8:00am and he was at my home by 10:30 am to check the furnace. The unit was 20 years old and there were some cracks in the heating element (think that is what it was called) and Michael felt it was unsafe and the best thing to do was to replace the unit. I had also had trouble with the a/c unit so I decided to go ahead and replace it as well. Michael upgraded the a/c unit to a larger one because the one that was initially installed was small for the square footage of my home and never cooled it properly. The fuse for the a/c unit was also too small so Michael contacted his electrician who came and replaced the fuse to a larger one. They showed up at 7:30am the following morning and replaced everything. They covered all my carpet and cleaned up their mess when they were done. Fired up the furnace and I was very happy to be warm again. They recently came back to be sure the a/c was working properly. I would recommend Schiffmann Heating and Cooling for any Heating and Cooling need you may have.

He did an amazing job. He was very professional. He took a lot of time explaining everything he did, showing me how to maintain the system etc. I would highly recommend him.

He came out and gave an estimate. Scheduled appointment to install. Very professional, reasonably priced. Excellent quality of work. We were very pleased.

The service was great. He was on time, friendly and the work performed was excellent.

Mike assessed our struggling unit and determined that we had a potential leak. He did some maintenance to the air handler and refilled our freon. He provided us some timelines on when we would need a new unit as it is aged and quoted a general price so we could plan for the future.

Nice guy. Friendly, punctual, professional, thorough. Very reasonably priced.

They said what they were going to do and did it faster than anyone else. I will never use anyone else for my heating and air services. Mike (our service tech) is true professional and I would highly recommend them.

I have used Mike Schiffman for several years. He does great work and is professional and timely. His price has always been competitive. He is honest and I trust him to do work in my home even when I'm not here. He has gone out of his way to accommodate my need when my a/c went out. He truly cares about the customer. I have also recommended him to several friends and neighbors who have been equally satisfied.

Short Version: Schiffmann Heating And Cooling Long Version: Came home from work to discover the air conditioning stopped working on a Wednesday afternoon (06/17). House was already at 83 degrees and climbing in the 95 degree heat. Place several calls to HVAC companies for a repair knowing that the heat was going to continue for the next week. Mike made the call himself and squeezed my family between appointment the very next day. Our unit had a bad blower mower and bad circuit board and a myriad of other issues for a system 18+years old. My wife and I decided to go with the replacement option. Mike provided a couple options he recommended based on "my needs" (no over selling, no pressure to move toward the high end [read high priced] products). He took the time to walk thru all my wife's and my questions. The equipment was ordered right away and to my amazement (and great appreciation), he asked if Sunday (Father's day) he could come out and install all the equipment. He arrived early, was prepared for work and within 3 hours, HVAC and furnace were install and operational. Mike then took the time to test all output and return vents and walk me thru all the features of the system (down to the replacing the filter) and walk thru any additional question I had. The work it self was done very well and with care and his cleanup left my house cleaner than we has started! Later than afternoon Mike followed up twice to make sure all was working as I expected and to my satisfaction. I cannot say enough about Schiffmann's hard work and commitment to their customers. I have used many providers thru Angie's list and Mike and his team are by far the best I have used.

Air conditioner went out Sunday afternoon. We searched Angie's list on Monday morning looking for local Heating and Air service providers with excellent ratings. Found Schiffmann Heating and Cooling. He (Mike-the owner) answered the phone on the first try and we made a same day appointment. He was scheduled to come just after lunch, but called and rescheduled for earlier if we were available. Said he would give us and hour lead before arriving at the house. He called around 10:00 to say he would be at the house around 11:30. He was right on time. Very professional and personable. Checked the upstairs unit first and noticed a small fix we needed to make there ($3 charge for the part that will make a big difference in the way the unit operates) Checked the outside unit next and found the problem right away. The Duel Start Capacitor was bad. That was it. No major service needed. He had one available with him and the unit was running and cooling again in less than 30 minutes from his arrival. We will definitely use him again and refer him to anyone needing AC or Heating repairs.

Schiffmann Heating and Cooling is the only HVAC company we will use. Michael is always on time, he always explains the services he provides, and his pricing is very reasonable.

From the initial contact until the job was finished, Michael, the owner, was in touch, considerate, and flexible in scheduling our service. He is very knowledgable about the service he provides and made excellent recommendations. He worked with us over the past few years to keep our old unit limping along until we were ready to replace it. He didn't try to pressure us into buying a new unit, he just kept maintaining our old one for us for a very reasonable price. When we were ready to buy the new one, we discussed, decided, and ordered. The day of our installation, Michael told us it would take three hours for he and one other technician to remove the old and install the new. He was true to his word. He is respectful of your home and property, putting down tarps in the path of the work to protect flooring, etc. the funny thing is they worked so efficiently you hardly knew they were around. When the job was finished, he offered a review of how everything worked, gave us the paperwork, and thoroughly explained the warranty. We highly recommend Schiffman Heating and Air. We will use them again and other members of our family have already contacted him to repair problems they are having. We purchased a high efficiency Trane unit.

My system stopped cooling on a Saturday in July. He answered the phone and was at my house within a half an hour. He was clean cut and professional. He thoroughly explained his repairs and got my system cooling again in no time. I will definitely use him again in the future for all my heating and cooling needs.

He did a great job, he was friendly and knowledgeable. I would definitely call again if needed.
