We live in a two story house and have central air/heat with upstairs and downstairs units of ac and upstairs and downstairs furnaces. We used Fitch for a long time even though we found them frequently rude and unprofessional in their behavior because we just assumed this was how everyone would be. Last Wednesday our downstairs air conditioning was not working. Fitch sent someone out. He looked and said it was frozen. He said the filters needed to be cleaned, which he did. He also checked the freon and said it was fine but that he was going to "top it off anyway." We wanted him to give the upstairs unit the once over since he was there and he did and said it was fine. The next day (Thursday) the downstairs ac was only pumping hot air. We called them and they sent the same driver out. He looked at it and said he shouldn't have top it off with freon. He said that he overfiled it it and and that when it was running today it caused the breaker to trip. He did not apologize for causing this situation or for wasting our time having him come out again. He said he had to drain the whole system and refill the freon (which was going to take some time). While the freon was draining and refillng he was looking at the upstairs unit again. He ran tests on it and said the capacitor was not working. Which sounded shady since he said it was fine the day before. He installed a new capacitor from the truck which also did not work. I asked him if maybe there was nothing wrong with the capacitors but that maybe the piece of equipment he was using to test them was faulty since is said ours and a brand new one wasn't working. He got VERY angry saying I was questioning him. I pointed out that the reason the downstairs ac tripped the circuit and he had to come back was because he over filled it. He raged at me and told me that no woman is allowed to question him and that as a woman I needed to learn my place (I am old enough to be his mother and my place is anywhere I want it to be). He started cursing at me using the F word and the S word repeatedly. My elderly father was there and utterly shocked. The workman tried to order me to go inside my home and tell me that I was not allowed in his presence but I stood my ground. He cleaned up his work area on the downstairs unit (which seemed to work after the tank was refilled) and left us with no working upstairs ac. He said our original capacitor did not work and he would not hook it up even though we asked him to. He said he did not have another on the truck. He said he would come back the next day and fix it if I sat quietly in the house (like we were ever having this lunatic back in our house???). I went inside and wrote a yelp review to warn women to not to hire these people. My father was trying to find another contractor to call. As soon as the review was posted the owner of the company called us. Not to apologize but to threaten us. The owner (who apparently will also not talk to women because he would not discuss the situation with me) called my father and told him it was my father's job to "get me in line." The owner tried to threaten us by saying if I did not take down my review he would not send the workman back out the next day. He actually believed we would ever do business with them again which was hilarious! My father (who witnessed the whole thing) told the owner that ever bit of the review was true. We asked around and found another company that numerous friends recommended. Called the new company on Friday morning and even though we were new customers they had someone out in 20 minutes. After all the years of dealing with Fitch where everyone is always miserable and sullen I was shocked to open the door to someone with a huge, warm, friendly grin. I swear this guy was the nicest, friendliest workman that I ever met in my life. He was happy and smiling and talkative the whole time he was there. After he was here for a while I told him about what had happened with the driver telling me to learn my place and he was mortified. He could not believe in 2023 anyone would come into a woman's home and say that to her. He could not stop apologizing for Fitch's bad behavior. Most importantly he checked out both ac units and guess what? There was nothing wrong with the original capacitor that was in upstairs unit. All that time and money wasted on Fitch this week when Fitch invented the problem with the capacitor and created the other problem by over filling the freon tank. The moral of the story? Do not do business with Fitch. They are unprofessional AND do not know how to do their jobs. I waited till Saturday to post this just to make absolutely sure all the ac is working fine (which it is). My dad and I are very happy not to have to deal with Fitch anymore!

The recommended Edward Chomko in Scranton and we were blown away by their professionalism and attentiveness. It is a long running family business and we dealt with Andy. He went so far above and beyond, that it lifted such a huge burden in the midst of our grieving. He not only picked us up at our hotel since our car's " check engine" light was on, he called Geisinger's to make arrangements for us to pick up Aaron's belongings and he drove us there, came in and waited for us to pick them up and he drove us back to the hotel. He made the arrangements so easy and even sat with us when we had to speak to the local bank about closing the account and getting the death certificate over to them. It really restored our faith in humanity seeing how far out of his way Andy went; especially at a time when its hard to think clearly and grieve at the same time. I cannot recommend them enough.

One of the most difficult situations in life is experiencing the death of a parent. The emotion,…read morepain and grief can be overwhelming to a family. Writing a review on a funeral home is a little peculiar, admittedly, but I think it is important for anyone looking for a stress-free way to experience a loss with a funeral home that truly has the family's best interest at heart. The planning for a funeral, burial, service all starts ahead of time. Those living in the NEPA area should never be afraid to stop in or make an appointment to talk about planning with the owners Tammy and John. They could take much of the stress and worry away from a funeral so that the healing process and memorial could begin. My mom, siblings and I wanted to ensure that we honored our dad's life, showcased his life achievements and his life relationships in an honorable manner. With the help of Semians funeral staff, we were able to do just that. What to expect: After the loss of a loved one, we had to make one call for all of the arrangements for my dad. Semians gave us a booklet to keep notes for guests bringing food, gifts, and mementos so that we could thank those who helped support our family. We planned the viewing and funeral service, which included the church liturgy and gravesite blessing. We calmly picked out the coffin and burial details--while a very rough, heart wrenching thing to do, Tammy helped navigate the tough situation by using the right words, explaining differences and just helping traverse the whole situation. Semians also has a beautiful and very easy online process for all to leave condolence comments or to order flowers. What we found the most helpful was in creating the PERFECT video of my dad's life. The program that Semians uses allows for VERY EASY upload from a mobile device or computer. Once all of the photos were uploaded (or scanned), Semians created a very beautiful video of his life that was also placed on their website. Friends and family could see the video and were able to share the video on social media and via email. Further, Semians provided a beautiful book for guests to sign in, prayer cards with a prayer/saying of our choosing and thank you cards. We did not have to stress out about the details--we just had to be there for our mom and to support her (which is the way it should be). Semians cars were beautiful, clean, neat and my dad got to make his final ride in a Cadillac (this would have made him smile). The funeral home facility has easy access parking and is clean and welcoming. Tammy and John were always professional, hospitable, and catered to every need we had as a family. They were a phone call or email away from any question we had. I could go on and on about the support we received from Tammy and John at Semian's funeral home, but I just wanted the area to know that there is no doubt that this is one of the best funeral homes in NEPA. I'm not sure if other funeral homes cost more or less, but just know that you get what you pay for, and there is no beating the hospitality, honesty, dedication and support our family received from the Semians.
