Over a month ago someone came out to look things over to give us an estimate. They repeatedly told…read moreus they were heading into thier busy season and wouldn't be able to start anything for probly a month. We were fine with that. Well, one week goes by, no estimate. I contact them. "Busy season. But I will get a quote to you." 2 weeks. I contact them again. "Busy season. But I still plan on getting the quote to you." 5 weeks later and nothing.

When it's 93° outside and the air conditioning takes a dump, these are the guys to call!!…read more I had to get a couple of different estimates and Phil Harris came to West Liberty right away. I promptly received a proposal via email. The next day, even before the estimated time of arrival, Bailey and Steven were here ready to work, with the new unit along with all of the necessary tools to install the new unit! The price of a new unit and installation was very competitive. These guys are polite professionals. I give them thumbs up all around!! Will definitely keep them in mind for future HVAC needs.

I called Sunday April 19, 2026 and the after hour person, Dane, took a thorough message, "What was…read morethe possibility of a service person coming between Monday or Tuesday to clean our fireplace gas insert as well as clean our Ac compressor. We were listing our home for sale much sooner than anticipated." I received a call Monday morning saying they received my message and they could schedule us that day as they had just had a cancellation that was actually for our area. By 11:00 Am that day the service person, TJ came out and cleaned the AC compressor and gas insert and glass. I was thrilled when I saw how fabulous the fireplace looked. Thank you Colony Heating and Ac and Thank you TJ!

2 years ago in the winter, I awoke to a cold house. I was new to the city, so I called around…read more Colony was the first available. The technician was efficient and the price reasonable. However, due to it being a Saturday, I was charged a $250 weekend service charge. The problem was that drifting snow had blocked the outflow pipe. While the technician was at my home, he received a call from my neighbor experiencing exactly the same thing. The technician advised him to clear his exhaust pipe. No charge. I did not object to the technician's service fee, but felt the weekend fee excessive, especially since my neighbor was treated fairly at NO CHARGE. Colony profited unreasonably and lost my business because of it. Dr. Sisson

Called to have a leaky toilet replaced. Kuenster showed up and upon seeing the toilet (not…read moreinspecting) they recommended buying a new toilet instead of replacing all the parts. I asked for an estimate to replace toilet, vent, and water and sewer to the bathroom sink. Two weeks passed before we got a quote during which time we called several times asking how long before we would receive it. Quote arrived, missing sink info, very high priced. We immediately called and were assured they simply forgot to list the sink on the estimate but it was included. Should have never trusted them. Kuenster recommended the floor be replaced around the toilet and we made 10 different calls setting up a date that the plumbers and contractors could work together on the same day. The day comes, first thing they do is leave because they brought the wrong sewer lines. Then they say the sink is not part of the work order. We called the company rep and she denied we spoke to her about the sink or that they knew the floor was being replaced (their request), and that they would not honor the estimate. They refused to do the work they were hired for, made dozens of excuses, then left. Later we found the main water line shutoff (they were supposed to replace) leaking all over the new floor we put in (at their recommendation). I spoke to the owner and he admitted they made a mistake but refused to honor the estimate and do the work requested. I asked for an itemized material and labor list. Several months pass and we receive two pass due bills. They tried to charge $100 for an estimate and the bill for work performed included parts they didnt use, prices marked up several times, and charged for hours they didn't work. When confronted they offered to correct the price on the parts they didn't use but that they were charging me for their mistake bringing the wrong parts and for the drive time to and from location. Having worked as a contractor and plumber, this is not a common practice. I would not recommend this company to anyone and the contractor who worked along with them said he would not recommend them to his customers either.

Quick , efficient, and very knowledgeable. Great Job!…read more I definitely recommend this company .

Normally I don't even say anything about businesses that I had poor service with but this is…read moreridiculous and dont want anyone to go through this too. I highly DONT recommend using Areguin Heating and Cooling. We called and asked for a QUOTE. When they showed up a few days later (which we were understanding about the wait with it being summer and lots of units needing work) it was 2 guys. They called my husband Cory saying they were 10-15 minutes away, Cory went outside to wait for them, but then they ended up sitting in their truck for another 10 minutes and got out laughing. One was an older guy who didn't speak any English at all and a younger guy who hardly spoke English. Which wouldn't be much of an issue either but it gets worse. Cory took the younger guy down to the basement to check out the furnace, the kid couldn't even figure out how to get the lid off of it and kept tapping it. So then Cory took the lid off and showed him that the filter was brand new and then Cory put it back and put the lid back on. Then they go outside to the unit. The two guys talk to each other (just talking and laughing in Spanish not communicating with Cory at all) and went to their truck, got a part, and started working on our unit. When Cory asked what they were replacing and what it was going to cost (again, no quote was given and we weren't even told what they were doing before they started working on it.) the kid told Cory that they don't do numbers and then kept tapping his head saying "English is hard" and finally said it was a capacitor and said the one that was in our unit was a 5.0 and literally said they replaced it with a 7.5 because it would do better at cooling our house off. Then they literally just left. Didn't check to make sure anything worked or anything. Just left. After they left we turned our unit back on, and the fan was going the wrong way and the unit was making weird noises that it never made before. After an hour we realized the temperature in our house was just rising. Cory went to check on the unit and it was extremely loud and the fan was spinning weird and slow. Then Cory came back in and checked the thermostat and it was blinking at him. So he turned the central air off using the thermostat. Then when he went to turn it back on, it wouldnt turn on. So Cory went down to the basement to check the breaker and saw it had blown and turned it back on just for it to blow again after not even a minute of him messing with it. And it just kept blowing every time he tried to turn it on so we left it off and called. Cory called a total of 10 times. Called twice the day of, July 10th, and then called right away at 8am when they opened and it took him called 4 times in a row to get an answer. So he told the lady on the phone everything and she said the owner was out in the field working so he would call when he could. Then we figured out the motor was blown in our unit. So Cory called again and they literally ignored his calls and sent him straight to voicemail until he called from my phone. Then the lady answered. He asked her if she had gotten ahold of him yet and she said she hadn't tried contacting him yet. So Cory told her that were pretty sure our motor is now blown after they worked on it and that we needed him to call us. She then said she would try again. (After saying she hadn't tried to contact him yet) this was after hours of waiting. Then after a bit Cory text the number saying that if we don't get any kind of response that we will contact the better business bureau and contacting who we need to for the Iowa Homeowner Protective Act. Literally finally got a call back minutes after sending that text from the owner, who then proceeded to tell Cory that they couldn't of caused that and for us to give the younger guy a break because he was 2 weeks new. Like what? We are paying for a service to be done and to be done right. If they don't know what they are doing they shouldn't even be out working! Then tried saying that they would replace our motor for $600something and said we should just get a new unit because ours is old, said it was 2 centuries old. Even though when Cory bought the house, he paid for 3 inspections for the house and they told him it was 5 years old, so now it's only 7 years old, so that's not true. Even the guy who came, not last year but the year before, through the same company, said it was a fairly new unit and was in good shape. So not only are they not admitting to anything they did wrong, the owner never even bothered to come look at the work the other kid did and is just taking the kids word for it on everything. Including the age of our unit. So yeah. Definitely do NOT recommend.

Schaal Plumbing, Heating & Cooling replaced our central air conditioning and furnace in our home…read more Schaal were great to work with the entire time as they made the complete project uneventful and painless. Starting with Sam Zeibol who came to our home and diagnosed and explained the reasons we were having the issues we were. Pricing was very reasonable and Sam gave us several options to choose from based on cost and efficiency. He also explained the tax credits and package discounts that were available at the time. The installation professionals from Schaal were efficient, clean and very friendly. They worked their tail off and was very respectful of there surroundings. These young men earn everything they are being paid and left a lasting impression. Overall, we had a first class experience during a very stressful and trying time.
