A year or two back we had one of two furnaces go out. ARR had someone here quickly and it was fixed. Yesterday the furnace was serviced and a tragic leak was found. Today there is a new furnace in the basement. So fast, easy and efficient. Very glad to get it done before the expected frigid weekend!!. read more

I got my annual furnace cleaning this morning. As always, the technician (it was Josh today) was courteous, competent, and able to explain a couple thinks to me in a way that I could understand. Thank you Always Ready! read more

Recently had Always Ready Repair out for inspection and cleaning. They have become my regularly relied upon HVAC contractor. Always professional. Always available. Always competent. Best of all, they are extremely trustworthy! Awesome owners and technicians. read more

I had 4 different companies come out to do assessment of AC system that was not working in my home. ARR was first to respond and first to come out. All the others said i needed an entirely new system because they couldn't get needed parts. ARR was able to get part needed easily. Sam and Antonio came out and in a couple hours had the system working perfectly and at a fraction of the cost of other bids. I also feel like Sam's assessment and options were the most honest and in my best interests and needs. It was refreshing to see a AC repair company providing excellent service with integrity which is unfortunately missing from orher companies I was considering. I will definitely use this company again. read more

Updated from last post 8/28/2023 Finally received the refund in mid September of $3200.00 my balance paid to Always Ready Repair In December 2022. read more

My annual furnace check up was upgraded to a cleaning g for the nominal cost $149. I have used this service for more than 12 years and this timely, quality experience leaves me at ease for the rest of the fall and winter season. The service personnel are extremely knowledgeable, honest and fair. A great company to do business with. read more

On the coldest day of the year so far, my furnace decided to stop running...on a Sunday morning. The temperature was falling in the house so I called Always Ready Repair who I've used numerous times since owning the house. I texted and emailed and, as always, got a prompt response from Paige. From the time I contacted until the time Tim arrived was probably less than an hour. He did some magic and got it running and working. Thank you to them and everyone I have ever dealt with at this company. If you live in their service area, you should check them out. read more

We had ARR out for duct cleaning service. Dan and Tim were here and they were both friendly and easy to deal with. They got to work on the duct cleaning and we also had them help us out by working up an estimate for another project we may need in the future. The house feels cleaner with no nasties in the ducts! Thanks guys! read more

Danny inspected and cleaned the A/C and replaced my humidifier pad. Removed the A/C cover and carefully and thoroughly hosed out all the accumulated dirt and debris. Very skilled, professional, friendly and reasonably priced. Highly recommended. read more

Delighted with their services! This was @the 4th company that we had called to diagnose our ailing furnace. Finally, we all agreed that it had to be replaced and they gave us a quote. Two workmen arrived promptly in the morning , worked hard all day, and didn't leave until after 5:00. Apparently the original furnace setup had been incorrect and had to be redone from scratch (at no extra charge). They did a thoroughly professional job.The rest of the winter, the new furnace worked perfectly. I highly recommend this company! read more

If you need your AC repaired or replaced, I highly recommend them. Very honest and reliable. I was told by another company that my AC needed replacing because of the condenser. I called Always Ready for a second opinion and was told that it could be repaired and only needed a new capacitor. It was repaired on the spot saving me thousands of dollars and allowing me to save up for next year when my AC will actually need replacing. Thank you Always Ready! read more

These are my new homies. I mean that. My tenant called on a Sunday night stating that the house was "freezing". I called the company that inspected my unit before the tenant moved and they now state they don't service boiler systems. Wait. a. minute. How does that work now??? Anyway, I'm deep in yelp and cruising reviews and I landed on these fine folks. They ANSWERED the phone at 8:49 pm on a Sunday night. Promptly scheduled someone to come and meet me the next morning at the property. Yes, they did confirm that I'd be present to authorize and pay the service fee. The next day- they show up ON TIME! I mean ON TIME people and promptly spent about 45 min diagnosing and effectively solving the issue. The technician also spent time answering my questions and educating me on how to better maintain the unit. There was no upsell, no extra fees nothing but excellent service and a swift resolution. read more

We've used them several times for various services. They respond really quickly, and worked hard to fix our problems.

Always Ready Repair was extremely efficient, affordable and professional. Having my furnace fixed by the company's technician Tim was a very pleasant experience. My furnace stopped working overnight and I called Always Ready Repair around 3pm on the following day. The receptionist was very helpful and sent a technician to my home within the hour. The technician arrived and was very professional and friendly. He wore a protective mask and foot coverings while in my home. He explained every discovery he made and all the possible fixes for my furnace. Ultimately, he discovered that the circuit board had been blown. He ordered a new one and waited for the delivery in my driveway. Once it arrived he installed the new component and showed me the bad one. After only an hour of being in my home he had the furnace fixed and running like new. I am extremely happy with the service that Always Ready Repair provided and I highly recommend using this company. read more

We love using Always Ready Repair. They are very responsive for quotes, and it's easy to set up an appointment. He always explains what he's doing and it's a very reasonable price. We love our new go to hvac company! read more

Cleaned the dryer vent and was disgusted and shocked how much lint was int it. I am surprised we didn't have a fire. read more

Always Ready Repair - Picture of dryer vent that had to be replaced (this didn't get cleaned obviously) . . . Shows that you need them cleaned - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Palos Park, Illinois

Our dryer wasn't drying our clothes well so after doing a bit of research, I learned that it's probably our duct. We had just moved in a year ago and the old owners probably never had it cleaned. The technician was quick and efficient with getting our duct cleaned. I would definitely recommend this company. read more

This is how you do business. Had an emergency when my carbon monoxide alarm went off, these guys responded immediately with two techs and found the issue, very thorough and honest! They also installed a new split system, everyone was professional, timely and the installation looks great. They'll treat you like family. We'll done! read more

We were happy with their service until today. We had a service person look at our furnace about a month ago. He said he needed to order a part. We called two times before they said they still hadn't gone to get the part. We called a third time and they said they still didn't have the part. Finally they scheduled a time to come to replace the part. The repair person spent about 30 minutes in our house between the two visits. The part was covered by the warranty. The repair total was about $500. There was a "handling" fee for getting the part. We expressed our displeasure. We will never, ever call them again. read more

ME: "Let's do Wednesday. Cleaning include A-coil ? really dirty" REPLY.... Wed, Sep 14, 8:16 AM (7 days ago) "You are all set for Wednesday. Yes it does. It is a thorough cleaning of the entire unit." 7 DAYS LATER : Serviceman comes to our home, didn't tell me til he finished that the A-Coil was NOT cleaned. THE ONE THING WE SPECIFICALLY ASKED FOR ! Otherwise we would have used another company. Complained to ARR , "$5 off next service !" , they replied. Unhappy read more

Their name says it all! Fantastic and came same day! Called to get dryer vent cleaned. Two gentlemen came promptly on time. They gave me a call first to let me know they were on their way. Very friendly, courteous, wore masks. Diagnosed the issue and recommended a solution. My vent didn't exit my home properly which I would have never known about until they told me. It was a big fire hazard. Lint was collecting inside a small area. They cleaned the vent as requested, And recommended a solution which I was pleased with. They also took time to answer a million other questions I had even though they work on a time budget they helped with so much more than they originally intended. I would highly recommend. They left the area nice and clean too. read more

Excellent service from Tim! Came to our house at 8:00 pm on Saturday evening. Repair broken air conditioner in record time, extremely knowledgeable and friendly. Our second floor went from 85* to 72* in a few hours! Thank you! read more

I have been a customer if Always Ready for decades. They are a great family business. Their prices are great, and the service and integrity are unmatched in the industry. I have recommended them to many family and friends , and all have been super satisfied. read more

This company is SO RUDE and unprofessional! Called this company for service my property's furnace for a simple fix. The lady on the phone took my information then asked if someone would be there to pay. Really!? She didn't even give me an ETA or anything! I chuckled and told her "yes ma'am"... When the service guy (MICK) arrived he was RUDE when he found out they were tenants and not the owners of the own and demanded to know who would pay him before even looking at the furnace. What gave them the impression that they were not going to get paid!? Tenants called me and we confirmed that he would get paid so he took a look and was able to make the repairs. There are many ways to confirm payment without making assumptions and demands before even assessing the problem. Needless to say I will NEVER use this company in the future and they will not be recommended. It's unfortunate because they came highly recommended by my neighbors. Poor customer service, bad communication, and very unprofessional. read more

Bob was the greatest, a real down to earth guy who came over on a very hot day to fix my air conditioning. If u go through all my reviews u know that I don't write a lot of positive reviews. If your looking for a good and knowledgeable person to fix your air conditioning for a good price, call Bob, he is "Always Ready" to help. I promise u won't regret it!! read more

Our problem was not a big one: after our insulation project we were getting cellulose in the AC filter, and our insulation folk said there was a duct problem. This was the company that responded to our Yelp request, and we quickly set up an inspection. Dan came, diagnosed the problem quickly, and fixed the duct. Air return is now great. We'll keep watch over the filter for awhile, but I'm pretty sure the problem was solved quickly and permanently. Thanks so much for your responsiveness and help. read more

My tenant had no heat in any of her rooms except the kitchen. I feared we might have to replace most of the baseboard heating units. Always Ready Repair answered their phone, had availability the next day (Saturday which had a surcharge), texted my tenant that evening with a 3 hour window to expect them and showed up during that window. That found an electrical issue and fixed it without trying to sell me a new heating system. If I have problems again, I'll definitely call them. I also recommended them to other owners in the building. read more

Requested an estimate for an HVAC/Furnace replacement and was able to be seen the next day. Walked through several options and explained the pros and cons of each configuration. Very responsive and professional, would recommend. read more

Our water heater sensor broke and our house was without hot water. We had our hardwood floors refinished and the vapors of the wood stain caused the sensor to shut off. I was calling around for help to get the sensor fixed.The model water heater we had was a difficult one to get serviced. I called the company that was listed on the water heater unit but were like no we don't do that service. They recommended another company and they couldn't do it either. I went to yelp and was so happy to find Always Ready repair fixed water heaters. I reached out to them gave them my water heater model and number information buy sending pictures of the water heater model and serial numbers. They ordered the part needed and was available as soon as the next day. WOW! Such great service. So helpful and kind. The repair man came and fixed the sensor so quickly. We finally had hot water!!!! Thank you so much. Great customer service I made sure I have a list handy of all the items they fix, service and install. They will be the first company we will call. Thank you again. 10 stars!!!!!! read more

My A/C wasn't blowing cold air and I called Always Ready Repair and made an appointment. The guy came out and found that I blew a capacitor (one of the cheapest parts to repair he stated). He had another capacitor in his truck and installed it and got me running within a half hour. I appreciate him properly troubleshooting and fixing my A/C instead of trying to selling me a new unit. read more

We have used this company for years. Years! This 3rd generation family business has always been professional and responsive. Just had them install a new furnace this month and they explained everything. My parents used this company and now we do too. They are very honest so we'd highly suggest you give them a call. read more

Always Ready Repair was wonderful. They came out and cleaned our ducts and dryer vent. The technicians were very professional and friendly. I had been having issues with my dryer vent and the technicians went above and beyond to make sure the vent was cleaned. I really appreciated them taking the extra steps and would highly recommend them. read more

Called Always Ready Repair on a Friday night after 10pm during a late September heatwave when the A/C went out and they were out within an hour or so. A/C unit is admittingly very old and they diagnosed the problem as being bad capacitors and a fried board, but, said he didn't have those parts available and wasn't sure if that would completely fix the issue and pushed a new system, at $4,000, as being the best option. Since it would be a day or two before they claimed they could schedule anything, I had another company come out the next day who confirmed the capacitors were bad, but, the board was perfectly fine and they fixed the issue on the spot. TL;DR: Price was fair for a late night emergency call and they were out within an hour and a half. Diagnosis was close to accurate, but, not as severe and they didn't even have the parts to attempt repair, instead pushing a brand new system, which left the experience on a sour note. read more

They were quick to reply and had my boiler back up and running early the next morning. Great service and very professional.

The technician showed up on time and fixed my furnace in under an hour. He explained exactly what the problem was and how he fixed it. Reasonable rates. Would do business with them again and again. I'm very pleased! read more

September 11th and it's 88 degrees when our 21 year old air conditioner decides to conk out first in the morning. I yelped Always Ready Repair, saw their good ratings and called them at noon and they were over in less than a half hour. Our air conditioner needed a new capacitor and cleaning. The repair man Mick was done in less than 20 minutes. I consider the bill to be reasonable for the service provided. read more

Bob came to our rescue today. He cleaned up behind the last guy who didn't do such a great job. Bob without badmouthing the last guy got us up and running and explained things in a clear and concise manner. He installed a digital thermostat and explained very simply how to operate it. read more

Fast, honest, with reasonable rates. Great service and staff!! Very informative and we won't use anyone else. Love that they don't try to upsell you with a bunch of crap and just do the job right the first time. Highly recommend!!! read more

A friend recommended them to me. I came home late one night and realized my furnace was not working. Too tired to do anything about it, I called the next day and made an appointment. Jason came out and explained what the problem was. He answered all my questions-I had plenty and the whole job was started and finished in about 20 minutes. Would definitely use them again. read more

We had heard great things about this company from several friends and family members- even mere acquaintances. They lived up to their name. We live in an old condo in Oak Lawn. Our air conditioning/heating unit was ancient and didn't work. It was also located in the ceiling, which is abnormal. We also got a quote from Integrity in Orland Park and they told us they couldn't help us at all! Thank goodness Always Ready was able to tackle the project. They used a crane to lift the fan onto the roof of our building and spent two days in and out of the 120 degree attic. They modified the unit and ceiling for a perfect fit. They also cleaned our ducting and removed all kinds of debris from it. They were friendly, helpful, explained things to us, and went above and beyond to make us happy. They even placed their mats on the floor and brought their own vacuum to clean as they worked. They left the place spotless! (Except for some insulation in the hallway.) I definitely recommend using them for any project, big or small. They are dedicated, helpful, friendly, and punctual. read more
