Schaef Air was a life savor for our family. We had HVAC issues in our upstairs system. They scheduled an appointment very quickly and came out in a very timely manner. The technicians came out and were extremely professional and knowledgeable. A few months after they came out we had them come out a second time and again, they were awesome. I will be recommending them to anyone!
Always great service, friendly, timely, and they know what they are doing. This company installed my new HVAC system in 2022 and I have an ongoing maintenance plan with them, because I trust them.
Today Gary came out and did the annual maintenance on my heating and a/c unit. He took pictures of everything and showed me my blower fan was dirty. He quickly cleaned it to look like new! 5 stars for him!
Schaef Air has provided me with consistently excellent service since they installed my HVAC system 6 years ago. Their work is impeccable, their team is efficient, congenial, and helpful. They deserve every star of this 5-star rating and more!
I highly recommend Schaef Air for anyone looking into mini-split / heat pump installation. We had Schaef Air install mini split units in our 4 bedrooms & they did a ducted heat pump in our living space. We have never been this comfortable in our home on a hot day! Everyone at Schaef was great to work with. They are super polite, patient, and friendly.
