    Schaal Plumbing, Heating and Cooling - hat's the sound of comfort being delivered. HVAC install? Done and done.

    Schaal Plumbing, Heating and Cooling

    Had a new bathroom installed in our basement and the brand new sewer kept backing up. The…read morecontractor said that it couldn't have been from his work and refused to do anything about it. Called Schaal and they came out right away with a camera. Turns out the contractor dropped the flange knockout plug into the sewer line.

    Schaal installed a new furnace, AC and water heater in the spring of 2021. We also enrolled in the…read moremaintenance program and still have that. Every year the AC fails to work until someone comes out to look at it. We try to book the free AC service from the maintenance program for late April/early May to have it ready for summer but they constantly call to push those appointments due to "high demand for service calls" and frequently don't get that free visit until we call because the AC is working, usually on the hottest day of the year to that point. This year is no different and we have not had AC since Friday July 17th. Called to set up an appointment and the earliest I was told was available is Monday (July 20) afternoon. I asked about priority scheduling with the maintenance program and they said they would put us on an emergency services waitlist. It is now Sunday afternoon and when I called to check they said nobody will be coming before tomorrow with our scheduled appointment. I cannot believe there are that many other priority customers that with all their technicians they cannot get someone out to my house within 3 days. I can only assume it is because the terms of the program also mean I don't have to pay overtime/weekend rates so they are prioritizing higher revenue customers. If I were a potential customer looking to replace an HVAC system I would not go with Schaal again. If I were a potential customer needing service I would not call Schaal either; look for a better locally owned company (Schall was bought out by private equity a few years ago). I'm giving 2 stars as the installation and service in 2021 and 2022 was as expected but fell off quickly after ownership changed in 2022.

    The technicians did a great job and I would give them five stars. However, the office manager was…read morequite disappointing. I received a call today stating that they never received payment for a service that was provided in August 2023, even though they did receive payment for another location that was serviced on the same day. This was due to them not writing down the correct email for the second location. I do understand that mistakes can happen and that payments are necessary to run the company. However, the way the office manager spoke to me about the payment was very unprofessional. It felt like she was the owner of the company. Due to this, I have decided not to call them back for any of my seven locations in Des Moines. I read on Yelp that "72 is about creating and developing relationships with our customers by providing superior service". However, this is not how they can build a relationship with customers. I have been working in customer service for the past seven years and I have never encountered anyone who has spoken to me in such a manner. I just hope that the owner, Kendel Richlen, reads this and takes action to improve his business for future customers.

    Just had these guys out for a minor toilet repair. Work was fine, and the fellow who came out was…read morecompetent and courteous. But OMG, the price: $368 for 20-30 min of work to replace $45 worth of parts (that's if I buy them retail). So, $320 for 20-30 min of labor. It's America, I don't mind paying people well. But this is just offensive. And they charge you $99 just for showing up, so you're caught in the trap that if you don't hire them, you lose $99. Frame of reference: $368 is roughly equal to what the average American household earns in a WHOLE DAY. (Note: I'm in Des Moines, although my Yelp location shows me in San Francisco).

    If I could give 6 stars I would. Firstly, I want to state I called in around Thanksgiving for an…read moreemergency - the day we had winds & negative degree blowing winds my furnace went out. I had a young gentleman within 30minutes of my call on location. He stated I may need a new Control Board & we set a time for the next morning to have it addressed. The next day, Chris was out at our house & what a blessing. Not only did he get everything fixed for us, without any new board needed - he walked me through the simple fix that was required. When I forgot, my husband was able to jump on a call with him & Chris even FaceTimed him to help. Talk about above & beyond service!!!! Our furnace did end up calling it quits, as it's many years past its expected life - and him & his team provided the most cost efficient quote, with the fastest turn around time & continuously throughout the process checked in, was overly communicative, and so very helpful throughout the entire process. To be certain I had the best service - I would like it stated that I vetted 6 other companies before deciding on APS. We are now recommending them to everyone & genuinly can't say thank you enough. From the team who answers the phones to the actual techs working to provide heat to our homes, everyone was professional, helpful, extremely kind and informative. A big thank you!!!

    They cleaned our duct work. From quote to service day was nothing but professional. The cleaning…read morewas thorough with some issues fixed to make the furnace more efficient. They communicated throughout the cleaning and the clean up was well done. Highly recommend this company if you're looking!!!
