It went great. They were very efficient, got everything done in the time they allotted and even returned when we asked them to check a drain that they had used for clean-up. We are very happy with our furnace and water heater. We had gotten three quotes and they were the most competitive and responsive.
Description of Work: John's crew installed a high efficiency Rheem furnace, tankless water heater and ran a gas line to our kitchen.

Level unit, reroute drain line, raise drain, and install transformer. We have attempted to perform this work prior to Angie's List. We have supplied Angie's List with detailed supporting documentation and we are happy to allow the information to be shared with all of Angie's List customers. We feel we are being wrongfully accused ad this hurts the integrity of our whole staff.

The service I received was excellent. Their prices also seemed excellent when compared to the estimates I got from other companies. They were there before the scheduled time. I would use them again.

We have been doing business with Thiele since they replaced our huge, cast iron boiler more than ten years ago. They have replaced the pump, upgraded our thermostat and changed the thermocouple as needed. Because of their consistently friendly,knowledgeable and efficient service, we have never considered calling anyone else. This year we called for our annual maintenance and start up and were able to get an appointment within a week. Their serviceman Jason was extraordinary, friendly and knowledgeable, even providing tips for better service that we had not heard before. There is no reason for us to call anyone else for our boiler and radiators.
Description of Work: Thiele performed our annual check up and startup of our gas-powered hot water residential boiler.

Our air conditioner went out and we contacted 3 area HVAC companies. We researched the Dept of Energy website, great info to help make informed decisions on HVAC. We got 2 excellent proposals for different but competitive systems. The energy rating both companies did came within a small margin of variance so we felt their estimations of BTUs needed were accurate. We then came across a coupon for Thiele and called to see what they offered. John met with us, devised a Rheem system and it's perfect. Didn't think we could afford Rheem, but we were wrong. Heat pump is new technology to this area but absolutely the way to go, variable heat furnace is fantastic. Together they operate seamlessly. Very quiet, clean, efficient. Rheem is a state-of-the-art product and Thiele an exceptional provider. Can't say enough about John and his team. If I had 10 houses I'd have 10 Rheems through Thiele!
Description of Work: This past summer we replaced 19 yr old air conditioner, which had died, with heat pump. Replaced 22 yr old furnace which worked but was an energy nightmare, having to run almost non-stop but could not heat to a desired level. Added air filter. Connected our existing humidifier into new programmable thermostat. Installers were excellent, efficient and very clean. After installation, we had a service call so we could get a full explanation of how the programmable thermostat worked, its many functions, and how to take full advantage of its energy savings options by setting temperatures according to when we are home, asleep, etc. We're very excited about the technology of the heat pump and have waited until now to post this report so we could accurately comment on function of heat pump and furnace. Energy efficiency was a big factor for us. The president, John Traub, was fantastic to work with as was every member of his team. We highly recommend them

The price includes installation and the subsequent repair. They did whatever they could do to avoid any future problems, as far as the recommendations that they made. I was able to save some money by getting in before changes in requirements for air conditioning were made. They did a great job overall.
Description of Work: They came out to check air conditioning and put in a new a/c unit. They also did a repair afterwards, adding freon.

I CALLED THEM BECAUSE THEY HAD INSTALLED THE SYSTEM ORIGINALLY. AT THE TIME I CALLED, THEY WOULDN'T GIVE AN APPROXIMATE DATE OR TIME WHEN THEY COULD COME. I DIDN'T EVEN INQUIRE ABOUT THE COST, I JUST WANTED SERVICE AND I HAVEN'T GOTTEN IT YET, THAT WAS A MONTH AGO AND THEY HAVEN'T CALLED BACK OR ANYTHING. WE ENDED UP CALLING THEM BACK AND WE STILL COULDN'T GET ANY INFORMATION FROM THEM.
