Thanksgiving morning I woke up to no hot water. I called Snell and left a message. The next day I talked to Mo and by 1:30 the day after Thanksgiving Mo replaced my hot water heater. He went above and beyond and I am so appreciative. I have used Snell for years and this is the kind of service...

"We pay yearly but we have this is included with our rental property. They are pretty good on most things. We had a hot water heater replaced and they did an excellent job on that. They are very quick on their response. They dont come out here. It is all done on the internet. I just like the idea that one time service charge is so much better than trying to hiring someone to come in. It is more about convenience. It pays for itself."
