Excellent company, excellent techs. As for the review about the tech not "wanting to install a dishwasher or do his job that day" - Home Depot contracts EHG to do their appliance plumbing and installations. EHG must follow the rules set in place by Home Depot. If a technician bypasses said rules, not only can it be a hazard, but EHG may not get paid, if they don't abide by HD's rules on those jobs. (note - this is only regarding when they do appliance installs for home depot) So the technician has no choice but to do the job a very specific way.

If he cannot, he will advise the customer what needs to be taken care of. Frank is an AMAZING technician! He gets the job done, knowledgeably, efficiently, and tests to make sure all work is sound. Very pleased.

We have been using Gochnauer Services for years for our maintenance/repairs of our HVAC system and could not be happier with the professionalism of the company and their technicians. Julian was on time, thorough and responsive to all my needs at this year's maintenance call. As always - I am pleased with the service call. Service: Heating system maintenance

Very glad we were referred to Gochnanuer & Sons to come out to help us with some plumbing problems in our home. Mark, the service tech, was just amazing. He really took the time to explain what was going on and he found great solutions to the problems. I also appreciated how friendly, knowledgeable, and professional he was. I will definitely be requesting Mark in the future if we ever have more plumbing needs.

I bought a dishwasher from home depot. I was very leary to have thier 3rd party delivery/install team install another dishwasher as the last one they did wasn't hooked up correctly and I had water all over the floor and damaged ceiling tiles in the basement. When I saw the Gochnauer van pull up I took a sigh of relief. I was amazed at how quickly he had the old dishwasher out and the new one hooked up and running. I would definitely use them in the future for plumbing jobs.

We purchased a new dishwasher from Home Depot and they have a outsourced company come in to install it which was Gochnauer &Sons. Holden was the young man that came out and seen we needed pipes replaced under sink and was very good and efficient at replacing them and getting our dishwasher in! We are very pleased with the service we got and will be contacting them to do some other work we need around the house!

I used this company because they bought out the old company who installed my new furnace, oil tank and AC unit a little over a year ago. I had nothing but problems with the old company and their installation and a lingering oil smell in my house they couldn't really diagnose. Needless to say, I was not happy. The new company, Gochnauer, sent over a technician, JASON, who was wonderful and ended up figuring out what was wrong when no one else could. JASON was great.

He was professional and knowledgeable and worked incredibly hard to figure out what was wrong. I could tell he knew what he was doing. JASON took the time to show me exactly what was wrong and walk me through it in a way I could understand. It's hard to find someone who you can just tell is honest and cares about doing a good job. His work was great and he was a pleasure to talk to. Very friendly and open.

I enjoyed meeting him. The company, including the owner, was great in working with me to fix what turned out to be shoddy workmanship from the last company. They really took care of me. I would definitely use them again and JASON as my technician. I would recommend them to anyone.
