Schoonover Plumbing & Heating Inc

Heater os fine water line had unintended consequences and they have been unresponsive thus far.

I called them, described the work that I needed done. They said they would do it and would call me back to set up a time. I never heard from them.

For security and convenience I wanted to purchase motion detector floodlights for two garage buildings.  Because electrical wiring would need to be done I wanted an electrical contractor to do the job.  I called Schoonover to get an estimate.  I am recently retired so timing and appointments are not a big concern.  I got a call that someone could look at the job and give me an estimate within a few days of my initial call.  At the time of the estimate I gave the okay to do the work.  There was no urgency to get the job done right away.  Again, within a few days the office called early in the morning and said a technician had time to do my job in the afternoon.  I gave them the green light and the work was completed.  The installer took the time to ask me how sensitive I wanted the settings to be and for how long I wanted the lights to be on after they would be activated.  The installer also gave me the owner's manual and explained how to turn the lights on and have them stay on when needed.

It went smooth after the generator came in.

NOT GOOD AT ALL!!!  After the ducting was replaced in May 2013, a year later when the warm days of last spring 2014 came, the obnoxious odor was again very prevalent throughout much of the ranch house.  I called Eric and he sent a serviceman to check out the ducting.  He cut holes in various places in the ducting, and there was moisture.  He said he could spray.  That was done a previous time with the old ducting.  The combination of the spray and the mold was even more troublesome to my allergies, so I did not let him.  He told me Eric would call me, but I had to call him.  Eric told me mold did show in the pictures taken.  He told me on nice days to open all the windows and turn just the AC fan on, and let it circulate.  I assumed, to dry the ducting. Well I did do that for as many days as I could until the hot days of summer forced me to use the AC for cooling.     I also had the air quality in my home tested, and it showed a mold problem.

When my allergic health issues worsened, I realized this was probably the worst advice Eric could have given me. Now I had even more mold spores distributed throughout the whole house again.   Stupid me for taking his advice!!!   I was sick over the whole matter - emotionally and physically.  Would I have to start over and replace all the ducting again???  Could I regain my health and feel good again??  Could I ever be comfortable in my home again??

I called two other businesses but they were not much help.  I have not known just what to do, but I was able to find proper shields for the vents and the return and put them up last fall.  I've done a lot of searching on the internet.  There is a possible helpful solution I've read about - using a diffuser with therapeutic Thieves's Oil which is supposed to kill the mold spores.  I thought I might try that this spring and summer.  Hopefully there will be no more condensation issues in the ducting and hopefully no more mold than was already there. 

If anybody has any suggestions, they would surely be welcome. 

I noticed my attic fans were no longer turning on and off automatically.  They were old and I thought they had burned out and needed to be replaced.  The electrician found one fan was jammed with a bird nest and cleaned out the nest.  The fan still worked.  Nothing further was needed.  It was not an easy job to climb around the attic.  This is why I waited until September to call for the repair, when it would be cool in the attic.  The second fan was indeed old and had reached end of life.  The electrician had to go back to the office and order a new fan.  He found one that he could replace without having to do any work on the roof.  The new fan could be installed from inside the attic.  The electrician came back a second time to finish the job.  I was very satisfied with the results.

This was a major renovation converting a house from baseboard electric, and wood to geothermal.  The workmanship was excellent and the staff were neat and friendly.  We had some start-up hick-ups but they were responsive and have worked to get the system up and running at 100%.

the quote was right on and the job was well done the workers were very professional and left no mess they had ideas for all the hard installs and were very receptive to keeping the old farm charm in the house

I had been trying to get an electrician to do a residential non-emergency service call for about 4 to 5 months.  Most contractors said they were busy helping victims of the September 2011 flood.  I waited until January 2012 and made calls to about 4 different providers who, as of Mid-March 2012, have not called me back or said they would come and were no-shows.  I had used Schoonover previously but thought they only did plumbing and heating - not electrical.  I noticed their ad in our Church bulletin said they did electrical work.  I called them, and they sent someone promptly.  Schoonover actually visited my home twice.  The electrician worked on an estimate for re-wiring my living room and replaced a circuit breaker for an out-building.  I decided not to do the living room job because of the high cost of the estimate.  However, the electrician completed part 2 of my job - installing a new electrical outlet in my bathroom.

They came to my house a week earlier than scheduled. They came in and performed very professionally.They went right to work in my basement and kept all the noise to a minimum.They were very neat and kept all mess to a very minimum. They arrived on Friday and put in all the piping and hung the new heater from the rafters in the basement.It was a natural gas heater they put in because our old oil fired furnace was ruined in a flood caused by tropical storm Lee. They left the old heater hooked up as a courtesy over the weekend so we had heat. They came back on Monday morning and we had heat by Noon.There are still a couple of minor things that have to be done but the major stuff is done and we have heat. They will be back to finish as soon as I have the oil tank pumped dry to remove it and the old heater. They were friendly,professional and very knowledgeable about their work. I would definetly recommend them to anybody.
