Overpriced. Demanded payment in cash or would disconnect main power line. Rude. Do not hire.

They do provide the service requested and gave me a link to make an appointment. We'll see how things go in a couple of days. The repair man, Alex, was prompt and identified the problem - two problems, actually. He was able to get the dryer running again, better than it had been. Reasonable price

Do not call or trust these people! They were supposed to do a routine maintenance on our a/c unit…read more They claimed it would cost $79 on the phone, which sounds more than fair. But when they came, the technician claimed it would be another $180 to clean the unit and that we needed to clean the unit before he could finish the inspection, which is totally a scam as we have used another company who did all of it for one flat $99 fee but wasn't available since we are selling our home and wanted to get it done sooner than later. And then he tried to upsell again by saying our Freon was low. But we declined since we had to pay $80 just for him to visually inspect our unit without being able to complete the inspection. So now we have to do the entire thing again with another hvac servicer, one that is actually honest and not upsell a routine maintenance into an almost $300 charge! We even spoke with the owner/manager who said nothing could be done. So they won't even work with you, and you have to pay $80 just to get them to leave without really doing anything of any value. So save yourself the money and the headache and look elsewhere! In response to the business manager: I gave AI screen shots of our interactions and people can read their take on our situation. The fact that you deleted the part where I took a screen shot of you telling us to go ahead and allow the technician to do the work and that we would discuss price later is proof of your dishonesty (see photos). I never said it was for 3 furnaces. I said that we had 3 hvac units and one furnace was being repaired for a minor gas leak, which was fixed. And that we don't have a/c bc we need a functioning furnace. And who services furnaces in the summer? And the fact remains that we were told one price, and that you guys could not complete the maintenance per that quoted price. If that was the case, he should have left and not charge us anything. Instead we had to pay $80 for nothing essentially since the maintenance could not be completed. It also doesn't change the fact that you guys charge an egregious fee for cleaning, which is why we declined the service. He said he had to open up the unit and even maybe clean it with chemicals. This is absolutely unheard of. Our normal HVAC service providers are honest people and have been maintaining our units for many years and they have never told us we had to open up our unit to clean it (which is risky for routine maintenance). You guys have proven that you do not behave honestly, and instead, are a lower/reasonable cost on the phone and up charge for unnecessary work when on site when most people feel they are already stuck with you. Who in their right mind would agree to have someone do the work and then decide on the cost (as you admitted to below)? That is just another way to get us stuck with the work with no idea of what the total actual cost would be. No professional contractor operates like that, and no one should agree to work before knowing the cost. And we are not the only customers who felt scammed and over priced if you read other unhappy customers. I should have read the reviews more closely as you also service appliances which skews your reviews for smaller less complex jobs, making it harder to ascertain your credibility and affordability for just HVAC. But my review stands as is, and nothing is being misrepresented. Maybe this review will help you take another look at your business practices, and if you cannot complete the job you were sent for, you shouldn't charge for it. You should also do a better job getting clarification on the work. I assumed you knew it was for a/c annual maintenance. The fact that we had our furnace repaired shouldn't impact that and you guys should know better than that. Otherwise, how can you call yourself an hvac service provider if you don't even know that you need to service air conditioners in the summer and furnaces for the winter? So your excuse about the wrong work being performed is entirely on you as the service provider, not on me and not on my husband. And I never said I wanted 3 furnaces to be maintained so go back and listen to the call as that was never said. And my husband never agreed about the wrong work being scheduled, further reducing your credibility. They can quote whatever they like, but it doesn't excuse that they pressured us to do work before even telling us the price (see photo), they are over priced, incompetent if they think they need to open up an a/c unit to clean it (which is risky) plus no one maintains their furnaces in the summer. Given that we had to repair a gas leak in our furnace, I just wanted to see if it was working okay because the a/c won't work if the furnace won't work. So there are no inaccuracies in my review, but there are glaring issues with this company and how they operate. People can read all of this should they choose to and make up their own minds. IMHO this business is someone you want to avoid.

I have to give a shout out to Precision Today, particularly to the Grayslake office, formerly…read moreMiller Area Heating and Cooling. They did an absolutely fantastic job installing a new furnace and a/c unit in my house. They far exceeded my expectations and did a more than complete job, replacing everything inside and outside including new electrical, sheet metal, pad , humidifier, electrostatic filter, flue, thermostat and even provided a new condensate pump. I did not expect all that I got and could not ask for more! All this and completed the same day we made the agreement!

Update: Precision Today reached out quickly after my review was posted, and seemed genuinely…read moreconcerned about my negative experiences. Communication lapses do happen,that would have taken 1 star off the review if that was it. But quoting 3x the price for as far as I can see a very similar unit is still mind boggling. My quoting agent sold the known higher costs in general as the value of the 100% satisfaction guarantee, but from what I've read in other reviews, people are having a hard time getting covered repairs or replacements done at all. Again the person contacting me to try to resolve my concerns seemed very sincere, but I still would NOT consider using Precision Today as my HVAC hardware or service provider. Precision Today purchased Miller's Area Heating, which was highly recommended by two different friends. I requested a quote from Precision re: a replacement boiler for the radiant baseboard system in my house. After a good phone response the first day, I had no confirmation to set up the actual quote visit. After a mid-day call to them, they gave me a 3;30-5:00 window that day. At 5:55 I got a call saying the agent was on my doorstep. After reviewing my system, I was quoted $22,000, AFTER DISCOUNTS. My research indicated it should be about $4.000- $9,000 for a new boiler and install. I then read many Yelp reviews and saw reports similar to my experience; bad communication and very very high quotes and charges for relatively simple repairs/replacements. Also bad reports on following through with their lofty guarantees, which I mention because those are the reported reasoning behind their admittedly high prices. Very unfortunate.

They said they would check it in a few weeks to see if it was leaking. When they came back, they said we had lost about 4 ounces of refrigerant and showed me where they found the leaks. They gave me a quote to replace the A/C. I checked with a few other contractors and they were more costly than Tom's quote. We have used them for many years and i am very confident with the quality ofwork they do. We made an appointment to have the system replaced. They came out on time, did the work efficiently and cleaned up when they were done. Tom, Tommy and Marcus are very knowledgeable and kept us informed every step of the way, I would highly recommend them for your heating/cooling needs A big "Thank you" to Tom, Tommy and Marcus.

This morning,…read morewhile leaving Grayslake, I was cut off in traffic after making a left-hand turn onto rte 120 from hwy 45. As I was getting up to full speed + at least 10pmh over the speed limit on this stretch of road, I was passed by a van doing at least 70 in a 35-40, then the van slammed on the brakes so that I would have to as well and all of my belongings flew into the front seat; I admit, I wasn't on my best behavior either as I sped up when I noticed what he was obviously & illegally trying to do. This act was followed by continued bullying as we both drove west on 120, with the right lane being closed a short distance ahead due to road construction. The van (picture attached) then drove about 45, riding shotgun next to a construction vehicle, knowing that this vehicle would have to move to the right; he was hoping I would be cut off a second time. When I called the number on the van to report the driver, he laughed at me and called me a "F**king C**t" (when I came into full view of him as he merged onto 94E he was on older gentleman with gray hair & a moustache so I can only assume he was Tom Sr.). I would NOT want this person in my home--NOT ever. He doesn't respect or have regard for others, esp. women or Veterans (I am both--my car is clearly marked with both). We use Advantage Heating & Cooling for all our service needs, and they have always been extremely professional. Maybe that's why they have quite a few 1-star reviews on Google citing erratic driving & rudeness.

On Monday about 4 o'clock I called to check on the status. They told me there would be no one out because I was on the waitlist. Waitlist? Why didn't anyone tell me about a waitlist when I first scheduled the call. I asked where I was on the waitlist and was told I was number 10. They said I would be scheduled if someone canceled their appointment and it was unlikely that anyone would be out within the next week. I understand this business was sold since they originally installed my unit. They might want to revisit their customer service policy.

They said they could come out on Tuesday for service. They asked morning or afternoon. I said afternoon please because I have a doctors appointment in the morning. She said it'll be between one and five. At 4:30 PM on Tuesday. I hadn't received a call so I called to check on the status of the service. I was told at that time that I didn't have an actual appointment, I was on standby. Standby? What the heck is standby? Standby means that if they have a cancellation, they would work through their standby list. After some discussion I found out I was 10th on the list. That probably means I would have Service sometime in July or August. I can't believe that they run a company that wouldn't tell me about standby when I booked the appointment. Why would they ask morning or afternoon if they weren't even sure whether they were going to be here. I am a very dissatisfied customer and found another heating and air conditioning service that will be out here tomorrow.
