They scheduled a service with our client a week out, I explained we are on a deadline, they said it wasn't a problem. We scheduled someone to meet them on site. I followed up to confirm service the night before- no response. An hour after they were supposed to be on site they called and decided they didn't want to do the work any longer, I asked to speak with a manger and the lady hung up on me.

Requested a technician to come diagnose and repair my furnace. Paul arrived on time, quickly understood the problem, and made the repairs. He explained the issue to me very clearly. It was overall a great experience. I'll be sure to give them a call in the future if my furnace system has issues again. Service: HVAC system maintenance

I called them at 730 am and they had a service technician at my home by 9 am. He was very nice, explained all my issues thoroughly and options for my furnace. I usually get several estimates, but I felt so comfortable with what I was being told I let him order the parts that day. 3 days later my furnace was working. The staff at the office was very accommodating and the service technician was great! I would recommend their services and definitely use them again.

My experience with Schmitt started off great with excellent service, but their quality of communication, reliability showing up at the job site and getting the work done has really suffered recently. I'd like to revise this review upwards and truly hope this is lapse in quality is temporary and improves soon.

Our building is configured with Mitsubishi split-type inverters in all 5 apartments. When one of the condensation pumps failed, we called around and were able to schedule an appointment for the very next week with Schmitt. Alex arrived right on time and was able to quickly assess the problem. Even though the condensation pump part had been discontinued by the manufacturer, he was able to source it through one of his regular suppliers.

It arrived promptly the following week and Alex returned, again right on time, to swap out the unit. Throughout the entire process, Alex was courteous, professional, and most of all, extremely knowledgable. Our tenant now has his air conditioning working again thanks to Alex of Schmitt Heating and Air Conditioning. Two thumbs way up!

Would give a 0 if I could! Terrible experience with them. We had a gas leak from our furnace and called PG&E who came out and identified the leak. We called Associated Heating and the guy came out to have a look only to tell us there is no leak. We soon smelled gas again the next day and called PG&E back out who confirmed once again it was a gas leak. We called a different provider and they came out and confirmed indeed there was a gas leak and fixed it.

The negligence of Associated Heating in this matter could have cost us our lives if the gas leak would have continued and PG&E was shocked that someone would come out and say there is no gas leak. People make mistakes and I get that, but in this industry and the severity of the issue, I needed to leave this review. They are also trying to come after us for the cost of the lack of service received! The gall!

My AC went out on a hot day. It was a Saturday and I could not stand to sit in my house without air conditioning. My only other alternative would be to go to a hotel with my pets. I decided to call the AC company early in the day. They came out and serviced my air conditioner. The motor had gone out. Yes, it was expensive, but it would be expensive no matter who you called. These people were good, provided good service, cleaned up after themselves and gave me a fair price.
