* furnace stopped working on coldest day of the year (why does this always happen?) * noticed water leaking from humidifier all down the furnace case * called Thiele, and they put me on the (long) list of people needing service * they showed up when they said they would * the technician diagnosed and solved the problem quickly, then showed me how to avoid it in the future.
Description of Work: Thiele installed a new furnace at my house in 2011, and it had a humidifier built on top of the furnace. On one of the coldest days of this past winter, I noticed water leaking from the humidifier all down the furnace, which caused the furnace to shut off. Long story short, Thiele was very responsive even given the fact that they were obviously very busy at the time. Then, the technician who showed up came at around 7pm after having worked a long day and not only did the work to fix the humidfier leak (which turned out to be just a clogged drain line), but he spent 30+ minutes additionally showing me how to make sure that doesn't happen again. In short, he went way above and beyond what I would have expected. The only down side is that he then charged me $140 or so to do the work, when, based on what the installation team and the sales person told me at the beginning, I should have never had that problem in the first place.

I was impressed with all the Thiele professionals they were all great and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Thiele to anyone. The new furnace and blower are so quiet - I wish we would have replaced the beast years ago! We financed the rather large expense, 12 months same as cash, through GE Money Bank, a program offered by Thiele and payments can be made on the account at Walmart for $1 - $1.50. service charge. We now have quiet 95 % energy efficient furnace and a/c - and we look forward to the savings as our energy bills go down! I would advise other customers to be leery of other companies that offer "too many coupons" - might not be a good thing.
Description of Work: Our 9 year old Payne furnace started experiencing problems while being serviced by another fairly high rated company. I became suspicious and called in Thiele for a review of our situation. Thiele's engineer determined that the heating and a/c were oversized for this house and pointed out the massive savings and that a new furnace comes with a longer term guarantee. After looking at the energy savings, rebates, tax credits and peace of mind - not having to wonder which part was going to fail next on the old furnace we agreed to the installation.

See story under "services performed" (site would not let me copy and paste).
Description of Work: We had had a service contract for a furnace that Thiele put in a few years ago. This was the second visit on the year's contract. This technician found a problem with the way one of the original pipes had been put in (by Thiele), so he replaced it. I'm glad to have the problem corrected, but the installation by this firm was what created the problem. Also, on this visit, the technician criticized the earlier technician (understandable, but unprofessional) and then criticized us for having dust in the laundry room in part due to "cheap cat litter" (which was not true; we use expensive stuff), so it seemed to me the technician wished to appear knowledgeable but was kind of showing off. I believe I will try another company to avoid similar issues in the future.

Response from Thiele Heating & Air Conditioning
I (John Traub) have left messages with the [removed member name] with no response. I wanted to apologize for any miscommunication that may have occurred with our technician. My technician informed me he had recommended "low dust litter control" because the litter box sits right next to the furnace. He also fixed an issue with a Carrier furnace that was not installed by Thiele. I was not there and so therefore can only rely on what I am being told and what the paperwork states. We strive for 100% satisfaction and obviously we came up short on this call and again I wish to apologize from all of us here at team Thiele.

Absolutely amazing. Communication was easy, very responsive, confirmed the appointment, arrived on time, and performed the services at a very high level. The worker did not try and upsell services, and even educated us and what to look for in the future. I would easily use again and most likely go with them when the time comes to replacing the furnace, which is in the near future (a year or two).

I am very happy with them. I pay them $20.00 a month for each one. Then twice a year they do like cleaning and tune-up on the system. If there were any repairs they gave us a discount on the repairs. It was like an automatic reduction. I pay $500.00 for the year and I think it was $49.00 a month for all the units. They were experts in what they were doing. I had two other companies come out to diagnosis a problem with my air conditioner and they just could not figure it out. They were not good. I then found out the Thiele Heating & Air Conditioning worked on this kind of system before so I had them come out and they figured it out what was wrong and got it fixed. They got the warranty company to pay for it. Mainly they just seemed to understand the system to figure out the problem, when the other guys could not.

It went well. He used a small camera to see the condition of the heat exchanger and he showed me that it is in good condition. I was impressed. As the furnace is over 30 years old the serviceman suggested he send a sales person out to give an estimate. Later the blower started screaching so I oiled the pulley's and loosened the belt. The serviceman had tightened it. The noise stopped. I did get another furnace estimate from another company but am not going forward because of the present condition of my furnace.

We took multiple bids, and chose Theile because the quote was competitive, and we appreciated the effort that the Service Manager (Jason) made to explain the bid and answer all of our questions and concerns. On the day of installation, the installation crew (Duane and Dee) were prompt, courteous (to us and our dog), and had the new furnace, air conditioner, and tank water heater up and running (as well as all old equipment removed) in approximately 5 1/2 hours. After that a review of the operation of the new thermostat was done, as well as a walk around of the completed work. It has been a month since the installation, and so far the new Rheem equipment is working flawlessly. It is very quiet, is keeping our home comfortable, and if the first gas bill is any indication, noticeably more efficient and economical to operate. (This was expected, of course, but nice to see nonetheless.)
Description of Work: Replacement of furnace/air conditioner, and water heater.. The old HVAC equipment was still functional, but nearing 19 years old. We wanted to replace it on our terms, before a major equipment failure made the decision for us.

I am a new member of Angie's List and so much appreciated having an "A" company recommended for the furnance work. I have had so many bad experiences with maintenance/service companies in the past. It was such a pleasant experenice having work performed by a professional, top-notch company and not having to deal with problems caused by poor workmanship.
Description of Work: I purchased the Big Deal with Thiele Heating and Air Conditioning. The tech (Frank) was very knowledgeable and explained to me the different types of tests that he performed on my furnace. He also brought to my attention that a blower capacitor had a low reading and would need to be replaced. The tech cleaned, inspected and made extensive tests that no other company had completed.

The technician was fantastic, explained certain aspects of the furnace, addressing my concerns. In addition, his findings showed the other company had not "cleaned" the sensors which should have been part of a normal fall check up.
Description of Work: We have a 10 year old furnace which has been serviced regularly and cleaned in December, we started having problems and called another company. After multiple attempts to get the furnace "right" - I began to feel uncomfortable with the work the other company performed and called Thiele - I wanted a 2nd opinion. Originally it was for a furnace tune-up, but I ended up buying a service contract. The technician stopped the booming duct noises and corrected two wires that were incorrectly positioned.

On Saturday we awoke to house temperatures in the low 60's and found the furnace was not working. After we turned did a reset, it began to work again so we did not take action. On Sunday morning we again awoke to temperatures in the low 60s, the furnace was not operating and this time it did not respond to a reset. We tried to reach our regular service provider, Bob Birbiglia. He was out of town but returned our call from Florida and recommended we call Thiele. We called Thiele around noon. Their answering service took our message, and about 45 minutes later we received a return call. The owner apologized because his service had not given him our message immediately. We described the problem and he said a technician could be there by late afternoon. The house was not too uncomfortable so we agreed. Pat arrived around 4:45. By then our furnace was operating once again. Pat spent quite a bit of time checking everything. The only thing he found was a loose connection at a gas valve, which he tightened and reconnected. Before he left, Pat instructed us on what to do if we had another problem, i.e., check a signal on the control board, record the pattern and call him immediately BEFORE doing a reset. It has been one week and we are happy to report that the furnace is operating properly. We paid a premium for Sunday but it was well worth it.
Description of Work: Systematically checked our furnace, which was not working properly (intermittant operation).

The technician, Sal, arrived and introduced himself and proceeded to do a tune-up on the gas furnace. He was very informative about explaining each step of the inspection and service. He pulled the burners and brushed and rinsed them, cleaned the flame sensor, ohmed the ignitor, and inspected the heat exchanger among other things. He also changed the filter. He was very professional and easy to talk to, answering all the questions I had such as whether a more expensive filter would necessarily do a better job, etc. (only if one had pets or allergies). All in all, I was very pleased with the service and with Sal's knowledge and friendliness.
Description of Work: My gas furnace was overdue for an annual tune-up. I purchased The Big Deal coupon to have Thiele Heating and Air Conditioning do the work. I am very pleased with the service provided and would use this company again.

I contacted Thiele Heating and Air Conditioning to give me the third of 3 estimates to replace my old gas furnace. They gave me the best price of the 3 and based on their history they gave me the confidence to select them for the job. On the day of the installation the Technicians arrived on time and they worked non stop until the job was completed. Very professional. Everything about the removal of the old furnace and the installation of the new one was exactly as promised. Also, the cost was what was quoted. No hidden charges

They were fantastic. I had a last minute scheduling issue and they were happy to accommodate by pushing my appointment back a few hours without a problem. Frank, the tech was extremely pleasant and very through in explaining what what he had done and one part that would need to be replace at sometime in the future. He did not give me the hard sell and was very complete in his work. I felt he was much more through in his work than any other company that has serviced my furnace in the past. Definitely would use them in the future and definitely ask for Frank.

Well I signed up for and found them on Angie's list after returning from a trip to Texas and my air conditioner had stopped working while I was away... Lucky for me it was a simple loose wire up inside it, a cat or something had to have gone behind it an hit it just right, he checked my coolant levels and mentioned it was a good thing it wasn't the capacitor and tested it as well, then sprayed it down and cleaned it up for me... Since he didn't actually do any work just plugged in a wire he only charged me for a service call. Good honest company, I'd use them again.

We noticed that though our fan was running, there wasn't any warm air circulating through the house. It was 6:30 p.m., so we were sure we had a cold night ahead. We called Thiele, who sent out a tech in a half hour. The tech found that the gas line to our pilot was obstructed, so he cleared the obstruction and everything worked great.

They were very responsive. On a Saturday one of the guys who normally doesn't do the quoting came out to do that for me. They did a good job of scheduling and went out of their way to accommodate. They were on time and kept their work space clean which I was happy with. They did a good job of making sure the air gaps were sealed correctly and fireproofing was back in place around the flue.

I did have a few other companies out and did get other estimates. I liked Thiele from the beginning. They knew what they were talking about. Didn't try to sell me what I didn't need, which others did. I have a strange configuration for upstairs sysem in attic area and a normal unit in the garage. They sized and replaced both units and outdoor ac units quickly. All workers were very helpful and worked fast, cleaned up nicely. I was quite impressed with their speedy work. I would highly recommend them.

On Saturday, they came out and opened it up. They said that the compressor was broken and it would cost as much to purchase a new system. They were not as thorough as the company that came out afterward to inspect the air conditioner. Apparently all that really was needed was to refurbish a wire! Thiele had not even looked inside of the compressor.

Response from Thiele Heating & Air Conditioning
The member is correct, we in fact mistakenly diagnosed the compressor as bad. Our technician found some issues in this 21 year old unit and jumped to a wrong conclusion. His check has been shredded and our sincerest apologies to the member and his entire family.
