A 2015 customer said Lou came to the home on time, walked through the options for a new hot water heater and e-mailed a full estimate the next day, and that the installers cleaned up after themselves. A 2016 customer said a Schede employee named Clinton replaced the old water heater, replumbed the pipes and took the old heater away. In a 2017 review, a customer said Schede oversaw an oil to gas conversion and installed a new boiler. A 2023 customer said Randy worked on a ductwork installation and explained everything he was doing. A 2024 customer credited Schede with fixing central air issues and named the two technicians who came as Paul and Randy. A 2026 customer said Lou and Nick were responsive and the prices were competitive. A 2025 Angi review about a toilet that was not working said the job was not finished, and the homeowner said the technician, Mike, was racist.
