I could not be more disappointed in what I thought was a 'family' company. A plumber 'fixed' my basement drain by shoving 6 towels down it before adding a cap to help with a foul odor. This action has flooded my basement 3 times since. My basement never flooded prior to the 'fix'. After asking the company to resolve the new problem cause by their plumber, they told me no one would come out to fix the problem Schneller created because they can't find record of someone at their company doing this specific task. I know for a fact two men from Schneller were at my house and 'fixed' my drain, one left to get a part to fix the drain and returned. However, the company doesn't care enough to ask those two men about the drain fix. Extremely disappointing.

Response from Schneller Knochelmann Plumbing Heating Air
[Member Name Removed], we do apologize for the frustration and inconvenience that this is causing you and your family. We are a family company that has been in business since 1928 and have a 98% customer satisfaction rating and it's backed up with our A+ rating on Angie's List. Our Plumbers have many years experience in the field and any reputable company/plumber would never entertain the idea to shove towels in a clean out. Our company has been built on honesty and integrity for our customers. We won the BBB Marketplace Ethics Award this year for how we do business. We offer complete solutions and not band aid fixes. As an example to fix a foul odor coming out of a drain clean out, it may warrant the replacement of the entire stack. We are 100% positive that at no time did Schneller have two technicians at your home at the same time. We again apologize for the trouble you are having with this. If there is any way we can help we will. We are more than happy to take action on this for you. After speaking with Nick, who was in your home in October to install a water heater and Gene, who was in your home in November for pipe vibration, and Nate, who was the heating and air technician that did a tuneup in December on your furnace; they have clarified that they have not shoved towels down your clean out on the drain. We trust our technicians 100% and stand behind them. We also know how important customer service is and WANT to MAKE THIS RIGHT FOR YOU. When did the back ups occur? Was it after the Furnace maintenance in December which was a full month after the time Gene was in your home?

We've been pretty happy with them except for this time it seems like every time they come it incurs a lot more money than we expected. It's a good company and they always call you know for the feed back and follow up and everything which I like. I like the fact that the company call, and do the follow up. I'm surprised at how they didn't call me yet, normally they'd do so, I like that.
Description of Work: They just tuned up our heating, we have two heating units and they tuned up and replace filters and everything.

My initial score would have been F. I had to have two visits. The first technician sold me a new toilet. The second one said the lines were just dry and to flush more often. When I complained to management they refunded the overcharge. Because they backed up their customer service, I have continued with a maintenance program on my HVAC. I have also recommended them to others.
Description of Work: I had them work on a slow flushing toilet.

Obviously, it didn't go at all. (The service required was rather simple. Clean out an obstruction in a drain.)
Description of Work: I went online to setup an appointment on 12/26/16 for Wed. 12/28/16, which they confirmed via e-mail. At 8:15, the scheduled, they left a message that they were "booked" up for the day. The earliest I could reschedule was Jan, 3rd. I have been a customer with them for a couple of years for heating & A/C service. Not that I'm special, but a phone call on Mon. or Tues. would have allowed me to find another plumber today. Hardly the "service" they tout on their website.

Response from Schneller Knochelmann Plumbing Heating Air
[Member Name Removed], thank you for taking the time to send in this review. We apologize for this inconvenience of not being able to make it on the 12/28/2016 or the second choice of 12/29/2016. We definitely try to provide 100% customer satisfaction every time and we dropped the ball this time. We would love to be able to make this right for you. We do our best to make it to everyone in a given day. Once we hit capacity, we give priority to our PMA customers. They have annual maintenance agreements that give them priority status which is a benefit of the plan. Your PMA expired 12/2015. Again we would love the opportunity to make this right, our plumbing manager will be reaching out to discuss further. Thank you and we hope that we can earn your business back.

My unit has been working very good. They’ve always done a good job. The company changed hands maybe 2 or 3 times since I started with them and one of the owners wasn’t that great but the current owners are good. I’ve been using them for 27 years.
Description of Work: They came out to do furnace cleaning. I get a maintenance agreement for the whole year like for air conditioner and everything. They just totally cleaned the furnace and set it for the winter and do the humidifier and clean the electronic air cleaner. They come twice a year. For the air conditioner, they come in the spring and they come in the fall for the furnace.

First attempt... 12/6/2016, scheduled 8-10am. First guy showed up at 9:30am after they had computer problems and he could not get his schedule, otherwise would have been at my house at 8am. He did not have parts for an oil furnace (strike one), you would think he would know what type of furnace he was to tune up. Second attempt....12/6/2016, arrived around 12 noon. First guy called the company to get another guy out that had parts for an oil furnace. He spent 5 1/2 hours doing a tune up. Twice had to run out for parts. He told me that the ignition transformer is going. He proceeded to ask me if I wanted a quote for an entire new furnace (must work on commission). I had to pay $350 for an ignition transformer, the part by itself cost at best $80. 16 years of getting service every year from several different companies, never took longer than 1 hour for tune up. He could not get the furnace carbon monoxide reading low enough so a third tech had to be scheduled (Strike 2). Lost an entire day of work for these two visits. Third attempt, scheduled on 12/9/2016 at 10am-12pm. Had to take another half day off work for this visit. He arrived around 10:30am. He spent about 1 hour dialing everything in to get the reading acceptable. The second guy above should have known how to do all of this. He removed wires and added jumpers on the furnace to control the functions on the furnace. This has never been done before. When complete he reattached the wires. Strike three...12/11/2016. noticed the fan does not shutoff. It is on continually. I am sure this is shorting the life of the motor. Now I have to have a fourth tech to come out. Possibly take time off work again. Final score...one furnace tune up, 4 technicians, 1 week work of work. Lost 1 1/2 days of work and paid for a weekend of electricity with the fan continually running.

I first want to state that one of the primary reasons that I gave this company an excellent rating was due to their follow up and care about the customer and ensuring that the customer was satisfied. I understand that "glitches" occur and I think that the character of the company is in how they resolve issues. I also thought that the Tech was knowledgable and explained what he found. He found a primary source of the leak and sealed that (there ended up being a second one from the dishwasher). However, I felt that I was double dinged on the repair the way that it was charged on the invoice. I sent an email to the company on a Sunday and had a very quick response (on a Sunday!) and worked out a resolution. A few days later had another follow up call from another person who wasn't aware that I was in contact with someone else to ask about the appointment. Based on the company's commitment to me as a customer, I decided to do a Preventative Maintenance Agreement with them for my Heater, A/C and Plumbing.

He plunged the drain and replaced toilet mechanism. Work was done quickly and cleanly, but before I checked the cost. I thought $89 to plunge a drain (which took about 30 seconds) was pretty excessive, especially when you add the $99 just to come out, the $99 diagnostic fee, and roughly $150 for toilet work. The estimate I was given for the other work was excruciatingly high. I ended up having it done by an acquaintance who does plumbing "on the side" for about 75% less ($2100 less) than what Schneller was going to charge. That's pretty significant!
Description of Work: Most importantly, replace tub/shower plumbing behind tile wall. Also, repair/replace running toilet & leaky faucet, and plunge slow running bathroom sink drain.

It took a few weeks to get into their schedule but the technician came right when they promised and was knowledgeable and professional. As part of the cleaning and tune up, he found and cured a vibration in the flue fan. He found a weak blower fan motor capacitor and recommended replacement. He did put his selling hat on, recommending a maintenance plan, a low level CO monitor and a humidifier. Overall, I am happy with the performance of the Schneller technician and scheduling person.

I got them off Angie's List. I really love them. We bought a maintenance plan that they clean our furnace and the air conditioning for the $180 and you get a certain percentage off on anything that goes wrong with your furnace and air conditioning throughout the year. It is like a maintenance plan. They seem to know what they are doing. They are very good and the technicians are great.

I chose Schneller because I liked the salesman. I called and got an estimate on the 28th of June and hired them in August and we scheduled an appointment. A day or two before the scheduled apt, I received a call from them wanting to push back the scheduled apt. They offered me a discount so I decided to wait. The Schneller plumbers showed up the next day without notice. I wasn?t prepared and they said they had to wait on another truck to arrive anyway. I let my dogs out and went back to check on the plumbers and they were gone. I called the company and they said they couldn?t do the job because they would have to dig up my driveway. I have had several plumbers out and knew that they would not have to dig up the driveway. I called Jolly Plumbing and they showed up to fix the waterline on Monday without digging up my driveway. Having to wait two weeks for Schneller to do the job and then telling me they couldn?t do the job cost me money and a higher water bill.
