Schwabel Heating & Cooling

We have young children so needless to say there were some grumpy one in our house on one of the hottest days of the year when the A/C stopped working.  Bruce discovered that the capacitor had burned up in the condenser after it had just recently been replaced by a different service company under a home warranty contract.  Bruce came out within the hour and found the other service company tech had replaced with a universal capacitor and the wires were not properly connected.  Bruce had the actual OEM capacitor for our model in his truck and replaced it for less than it would have cost me to call out the home warranty company again. <br />

The furnace and hot water tank are enclosed in a small closet because <br /> there is no basement.  He accounted for the square foot dimensions of <br /> the house and our concerns about not enough airflow.  He sized the <br /> two-stage 95% efficiency furnace and one A/C 16 SEER unit to <br /> specifically meet the house square footage requirements.  <br /> When installing the furnace, he found the hole leading into the main <br /> ductwork to be extremely small so he cut it as large as possible.  <br /> Then at his shop, he designed a specific stainless steel base that helped <br /> maximize the airflow into the ductwork.  He installed a Rheem hot water tank <br /> because the small closet and its location would not allow for tankless.  <br /> When installing the tank, he improved its location by moving the gas line, <br /> raised the tank off of the floor and built a new, straighter vent; he installed a <br /> water heater pan under the tank and piped an emergency overflow drain.  <br /> He did much more than simply replace the units.  By improving the layout and <br /> increasing the airflow, he completed the work as if it was his own <br /> house.  I was impressed that he went to the extra time and work to bring <br /> everything to maximum efficiency, including the layout of the closet <br /> and accessibility to the controls of each unit. <br />
