Schneider Plumbing & Heating does plumbing and heating work, and a Nextdoor commenter in Westhampton writes that it has done several jobs for them, including replacing an old leaking outdoor faucet. Robert B Schneider's Massachusetts plumber license, number 9170-PL-M, is active on the state registry. His Massachusetts HVAC license, number 5400-SM-M1, is also active on the state registry. A 2025 Google reviewer said the company had helped them in their house a few times and explained everything in ways they could understand. In a 2023 review, a customer said Bob helped them out of a jam when rats had destroyed their mom's hot water heater with Thanksgiving around the corner. A 2020 reviewer said the company fit them in for a dishwasher installation needed right before a scheduled transplant surgery, despite a jam-packed schedule. In a 2016 Angi review, a customer said a plumber came out the same day they called, and that Carl ripped out a built-in bookcase and cut into the ceiling to repair the pipe, then cleaned up afterward. A 2016 Angi reviewer said the company had replaced their steam boiler about five years earlier and that the owner, Bob, was far more knowledgeable than competitors. A 2023 Google reviewer said the company put in a furnace six years earlier whose condensation drain backed up and filled the inside mechanical with water. That 2023 customer said the motor burned out after the company's fix, that the on-call person asked whether they had paid their gas bill, and that the company then refused to fix it at all. In a 2019 review, a new customer said the company assured them it could come within two days and did not, leaving them still without running water two days later. A 2014 Angi reviewer said the company cancelled a leak appointment twice, each time citing an emergency. In a 2012 Angi review, a customer said the company cancelled a kitchen plumbing appointment over an emergency, and that at the rescheduled visit the plumber arrived at 3:30pm and left for another emergency call after barely starting. That 2012 customer said they were billed for the hour drive plus 15 minutes at the house, and that two fittings from earlier work had leaked.
“I use Schneider Plumbing - great guy: 413-584-1634 He's done several jobs for us, including replacing an old leaking outdoor faucet.”
Schneider plumbing/heating has helped me out in my house a few times already-And all I can say is what a wonderful job and what knowledge!!! They never talked down to me, they explained everything in ways that I could understand, and I am extremely happy with the company!!
Schneider put in a furnace 6 years ago. They screwed up the condensation drain from the beginning and it backed up. The entire inside mechanical filled with water. They “fixed” it and the motor burned out. When i called the on call person he responded saying “did you pay your gas bill” and “do you need me to come out.” When i responded yes they were annoyed. It’s was 22 degrees! We called the next day to get it fixed and i questioned if the condensation was the issue all along and now they are refusing to fix it at all. It’s December and we have kids. Do not use this business.
Bob really helped us out of a jam, rats had destroyed my mom's hot water heater, Thanksgiving was around the corner, and we were having Thanksgiving dinner in my mom's house which would not be possible without Schneider Plumbing & Heating. They saved our holiday. Definitely recommend them, they will not let you down.
These folks are great. Came out for an emergency plumbing issue without any notice a few years back and they charged us super fairly despite the opportunity to price gouge and exploit. Plumber was a kind man who explained everything clearly and went above and beyond to get our house back in working order. More recently, they were willing to modify their jam packed schedule to fit us in for a dishwasher installation that was needed right before I was scheduled for a major transplant surgery despite them being booked out to the max- those little bits of community care and compassion make Scheider's our neighborhood go-to plumber. Thanks again for being so compassionate and going above and beyond to help out a neighbor in a time of need. Highly recommend!
Clear communication is a pretty essential part of doing business. My experience with Schneider Plumbing is that the connection between the office and the plumber in the field is totally chaotic. I put in a call to these folks as a new customer and I clearly asked if they could come within two days time. They assured me they could. They didn't. If they said the may not be able to, I would have been happy to keep looking around. Two days later, we're still without running water, and we're starting the process over. They may provide quality service when they show up, but making false promises and sharing misinformation two days in a row gets you a 1 star rating from this guy.
