“I would definitely recommend Benchmark HVAC!

Jack evaluated the needs of my very small home which needed its first centralized HVAC system, figured out the problems that might be encountered along the way and developed a perfect configuration using the Mitsubishi Mr. Slim system. He did a great job of explaining everything to me as we worked through the configuration and the installation. As the other testimonials indicate, his experience with all facets of the inner-workings of the house helped him see the big picture of the work involved. He worked well with my electrical contractors to develop a solution and to troubleshoot problems as they arose. The installation went smoothly and the house – both inside and out – was cleaned up when they were finished. Jack and J.C. were both professional and knowledgeable. I look forward to seeing the low electric bills this summer!”

“I use a lot of contractors on my jobs or recommend them to my clients directly. Every one of them over the last six or seven years has had nothing but adoration for Jack Schmidt’s professionalism and skill. In my 30 years in business I’ve never seen a better HVAC man.”

Jack,

“It was a pleasure having you and your crew complete the work at my home today. What a breath of fresh air! I have worked with many contractors and way too many subs to count! To have you guys show up on time, not cussin’ and smokin’, actually only take an hour for lunch, and most importantly – completed the work as promised at the price quoted – is nothing short of outstanding! THANK YOU! If anybody needs a reference, feel free to have them call me.”

Thanks,

Dale


“I cannot recommend Benchmark Service highly enough. Jack’s knowledge of HVAC systems is vast and is complemented by a background in general contracting that allows him to see the “whole picture.” He has the unique perspective of understanding all of the working parts in a home, which helps him to quickly diagnose problems and suggest the best and most cost effective solutions. Jack is professional, knowledgeable, and courteous, and his attention to detail is truly remarkable and refreshing. Every time Benchmark Service has completed work for me I am thoroughly impressed with the product, which is why I have referred them to everyone I know. I assure you, this is a man you want on your home maintenance team!”

Dear Jack,

The Mitsubishi system you installed on our sun porch is working very well. It is both powerful and quiet.

Thanks,

Dear Jack,

Thank you so much for the new AC system! We have been enjoying it the last couple of days with the front that came in….we got it in just in time!

Thanks,

Dear Mr. Schmidt,

My Mitsubishi AC’s are perfect, my office is as chilled as I ask for, and all is right with the AC world. Thanks for the terrific work.

Respectfully,

Jack,

Thanks to you and your crew for a great job. The Mitsubishi Mr. Slims are working great and the house is nice and cool now. It was so nice to come home to a comfortable house today. They are also very silent as promised. Joel and I are extremely happy to finally have this problem solved.

Thank you so much.

We have known Jack Schmidt for several years and have always been impressed by his honesty and attention to detail. He installed a new air conditioning unit last August (we have two) and our electric bills this summer have averaged $150 to $200 less than those of last year before he installed our new unit. Jack has done outstanding work, has arrived exactly when he said he would and cleaned up so well that one would not even know he had been there. We are very satisfied customers and have recommended Benchmark Service to our friends and neighbors.

We used Benchmark Service to give us a second opinion about the problems with the HVAC system in our newly purchased home.  They gave us a full report on the functionality and needs of our system which was not the best news for us.  However, Jack thoroughly explained the issues and gave us options to meet our budget, safely repair our system and increase our energy efficiency.  The Benchmark team was flawless from inspection to install to follow up.  They were able to come out and replace our system the next day, they finished ahead of schedule and the unit is now is functioning beautifully.  The areas that they worked in were left organized and clean.  Working with Jack was the easiest part of our move.  They were professional and pleasant to have at our home from the start.  We would highly recommend Benchmark Service to anyone that has HVAC needs.

“Jack at Benchmark Service has great service at a great price! He is very quick and reliable with very competitive prices. I would definitely use him again and I wouldn’t hesitate to refer him to anyone for all their a/c and heating needs.”

“I have relied on Jack Schmidt over the past twenty years for all my household maintenance problems.  He installed a new air conditioning and heating system for me some years ago and it has worked perfectly.  What I especially value in Jack is the knowledge that the work will be done well and that I will be given an honest and just price. It gives one a very great sense of relief, to say the least, to know that the work will be done well and that you will not be cheated. Furthermore, because he has such a wide knowledge and expertise in household maintenance, he is able to see what other problems there might be and he is ingenious in finding ways to solve them.  I have called upon him for advice as to what needs to be done for every maintenance difficulty that has come up in my household. Jack has definitely saved me a great deal of money and, especially, worries.”

Dear Jack,

It is the end of July, and I just got my electric bill of $261.02 from TXU.  As you know, my house is over 4000 square feet with at least 7 people living in it, it is all electric, and I have multiple appliances running at all times.  I have to thank you very much for all the honest and hard
work you put into my home.  Normally my electric bills would have been at least double this amount.   I was very nervous about the electric cost when I decided to purchase this 1953 home and I can’t thank you enough for all the recommendations and all the work you did to get my electric bill to this low level. It is with great pleasure that I can recommend my clients to you.

Thank you,

Scott Killian


Benchmark is honest and reliable! Hard to find this kind of workmanship nowadays. Jack helped me out with some urgent heating/ventilation worries in my home and went out of his way to help me on the same day that I contacted him.

Jack was very professional, on time, did a great job from the first phone call to completing the job of removing an old Mitsubishi Mr. Slim AC and Heating Unit and replacing it with a new one. They did a beautiful job of wiring and installing. Took the old unit away and left the job site in great shape. Highly recommend him and his company. He is a Diamond Dealer for Mitsubishi, which means he has undergone extensive training, and it shows.

Hi, Jack,

Hope you are doing well. Please reference us as a happy customer. Our last electric bill was $63. xx and the one before, when it was SO hot, was only $114.xx. The new HVAC system plus the radiant barrier and the extra ventilation for the attic added when we got our new roof are working wonders.

Thank you.

Lynn Beumer


Benchmark designed and installed a new radiant floor heating system in our living room. Their bid was much better than the others I received. They were prompt, clean and very professional. The system works wonderfully. Only 2 days from start to finish. I would recommend them to anyone.
