My AC stopped working Sunday evening, after all HVAC businesses were closed, so by the next morning…read moreI was hot and miserable. After doing some research online looking for local recommendations, I called Ziegler Heating & Cooling on Monday morning at 7am. I was sent to voicemail when I contacted Ziegler, so I hung up and called Knoechel. (I called Ziegler first because I have an American Standard AC unit, and based on Zieglers website, it appeared that American Standard was a preferred brand of theirs/they may specialize in. Whereas Lennox appears to be the preferred brand at Knoechel. - my thought process was, if I was going to need a replacement, then I'd want an American Standard, hence Ziegler was my first call). Spoke with a woman who answers incoming calls for Knoechel, who took all of my information (contact info and description of the problem) and informed me that I'd receive a call back shortly. 30 minutes later I received a call from one of their techs who then arrived at my house less than 10 minutes later (I am local in Zelienople, where they are headquartered). Within an hour my AC was running normally again without any attempts to upsell/oversell. (Thorough cleaning of AC coils on the outside unit, replacement of dual capacitor, and temperature checks - about an hours worth of work, $177) All that work PLUS the expediency in response time came at a price that was in line with a competitor a family member had used last week located in Pittsburgh (which was too far away to service my house in Zelie). Without question, I'd recommend Knoechel!

He got me scheduled immediately and on a weekend which allowed me to be home for the work. He and his assistant showed up at 4pm on Friday and by 8, had the first unit out. The next 2 days, they were right on time and hammered through it. I can't say enough about them. Extremely professional, punctual, polite and honest. Finally found an HVAC company I don't mind dealing with. Going forward, I would not use anyone else. Fantastic job gentlemen. You set the standard!

(I should start by mentioning we don't know which location this was from, but as one branch shakes,…read morethe whole tree moves.) We made an appointment for our boiler furnace check up and reset thermostat. We were given an appointment window between 8:00-12:00. It's now after 4:00 and still no one showed! We called them around noon and were told we indeed have an appointment. The worse part for us is that my husband scheduled off for today so we could do something together. Instead we wasted an entire Friday waiting. No calls to apologize or explain. What kind of company does that?! So, at 4:30, the McVay guy showed up. 4 and a half hours past the window time given us! He looked at thermostat, saw it go blank, and informed us we needed a new one at $285! We declined. Turns out, our thermostat needed new batteries. So, not only do they not honor appointment times, they try to sell highly marked up products to people that don't need them. Too bad they can't be honest and punctual, they would get life time customers. We will certainly never use them again.

I called him a half hour later and told him the vents were still blowing and cold air.(mind you. It's January) He then asked me to go down to the furnace and tries to guide me to fix it when I have no idea absolutely no experience doing anything like that just a girl I tried and was not able to fix it. He comes back three hours later. completely hostile very rude. I asked him. Would he be able to fix it and he said I don't have a crystal ball I don't know and began to get very unprofessional. He asked me where the light was in the basement. I told him where the light was and his response was I can't see it with all the shit on the wall (they are coats) Again, he gets very hostile and he says you do it. I didn't have any shoes on at the time in my basement is completely unfinished and so I said wow OK I get up to turn on the light and he gets extremely angry and says you know what I'm not fixing anything use his vulgar language as he's leaving and slams the door and called me a fucking idiot very very unprofessional. I would never use this company ever.
