I had some electrical issues in my electric box, so I had to get an electrician to fix that issue, after I had electric service box fixed, then I called Smart Choice again, and once again, they came out in less than 24 hours, since this was a second call for the same problem, Victor didn't charge me! Victor found that my A/C unit outside was filthy, he cleaned it, as soon as he cleaned it, the A/C started blowing cold! quick easy, inexpensive fix! many Thanks Victor for the open honest communication! We liked Smart Choice, and will use them again for sure, if we have some A/C issues! And they stayed until they were sure it was working properly! NICE :D

I was connect with Smart Choice HVAC through my home warranty. In previous experiences I've been…read moreconnected to companies after normal business hours (9-5) with a set appointment but that time never holds true. With smart HVAC I called about 730pm after obtaining the appointment notification through the warranty company to confirm my appointment. Not only did they answer, the narrowed my appointment window. Victor was our service technician. He arrived on time and was able to process payments via phone. I am an active Solider not in the area that was extremely important to me. Ultimately I had a clogged drain and it was not covered by my warranty as it's considered maintenance. Really enjoyed the experience of company. I've never had such a great experience. I also inquired about their service plans and decided to purchase the service plan to conduct the regular maintenance for the furnace and A/C units. Highly recommend.

I wish I could write about a similar experience as others have, but my experience with this company…read morehas been less than stellar. I contacted him prior to Christmas for a second opinion on a furnace. Originally, I was told the furnace needed to be replaced but Priority said it was an issue regarding airflow. At this time I am still unsure as to what the actual problem is as no work has been done. It was not an emergency nor urgent but it did take him over four weeks to finally get to our house. There were missed appointments, a lack of follow through and very poor communication. He missed a scheduled appointments, missed stopping by on a Saturday as he had promised and had issues with a broken windshield that prevented him from showing up. The problem has not been resolved as yet but I have decided to tackle the problem myself. I will pay the invoice he sent me today but will not be calling him again. While my issue was not an emergency, it still deserved an appropriate response like any other customer would receive. UPDATE: Two minutes after posting this review I have both a text message and a voicemail from the company asking to resolve the issue. I wish this offer had come sometime during the previous month during which I've had no contact from him at all.

Tom had 3 other jobs before us, but when he finished early he gave us a call saying that he'll be able to come earlier. He arrived right on time, put on shoe covers to make sure our floors are kept clean, and went straight to work. In about 5 minutes he was able to figure out the cause, and after 15minutes he was able to fix it. The job was done right and the price was fair. He knows his stuff and even our 20+yr old furnace. Tom is very professional and you can just tell he enjoys fixing things.

He was professional and arrived on time. However, when I got a quote to install a Nest thermostat it was $200 for maybe 20 minutes of work. I got a quote (attached) for Aprilaire 500 bypass Humidifier installed to replace an existing one that's failing and I was told the unit is worth $600 and it would be $1170.00 to install (which included a 5% discount if I bought a service agreement with them). I said it seemed a little high so I got more quotes. So far two reputable places quoted $550 and $425 installed and the unit is $230 at most online. Update: so my Aprilaire 500 humidifier was installed by Green Air Care and everything was great with them (see review). They even fixed a couple quirks with my system. Per Brian's Heating & A/C's request I did call Brian's to see why their quotes were so high but they were unavailable so I asked for an email response. If their response email makes sense this may be updated but $600-900 an hour for labor seems really high to me. As with all large projects I'd recommend getting multiple quotes if time allows but the quotes I received from this business were a little outrageous in my opinion.

We had a small issue afterwords, but they came back and corrected it with absolutely no problem. I HIGHLY recommend this company for any HVAC work needed.

As part of a remodel project, I needed makeup air to compensate for walls and ductwork that would be removed. First, they conducted an on-site assessment of the residence and provided a detailed proposal for their services. Months later they were able to quickly assign a crew to do the work before the remodeling began. Multiple, seasoned team members got the job done well under the time estimated. Professional, kind and thorough, the Corcoran team ensured the automated controller and electrical setup with the damper was in working order and even took time to explain how it was implemented, including placement for easy maintenance in the future. No detail was left undone. They were happy to explain the inner workings to me so that I felt comfortable with how it all worked end-to-end. Their team lead also capitalized on an unexpected opportunity to coordinate their efforts with our remodeler, who was also on-site the same day. He made sure he understood how the makeup air system and damper control could work with the new kitchen range hood that would be installed the following month. The sheet metal fabrication fit and finish on the new ductwork shows how much attention to detail the ownership instills in their team. They care about their craft and doing things right the first time. I continue to be a customer of Corcoran because of experiences like this one. I'm never disappointed and am always left with the feeling like the work was done correctly and communicated respectfully. Kudos to Corcoran for making customers for life!

Water Heater Repair…read more A few years ago we had a new water heater installed through Chicago Heating Repair. Last week we had an inspection (we are selling the house) and somehow it stopped working. We still have a warranty on the water heater. We needed a check-up and repair. The water is getting cold! After 3 days reaching out via email, voicemails finally Kevin picks up. I told him the situation, gave him the original invoice # etc. "No, we don't service Chicago anymore, we moved to Naperville". Turns out, he really doesn't want to provide service in Chicago, doesn't care about the work he did here, doesn't respect the warranty and money he made on us. We are stuck with a water heater installed by Kevin's company (actually himself) and he was quite rude explain that he doesn't care and we are on our own. It says Chicago in the corporate name! It says "live operators are standing by"! "Best Chicago Heating and Cooling .... "!

My dad had his HVAC serviced less than 2 weeks ago for the winter and Bret didn't realize that a pressure switch needed to be replaced. We don't know what was actually done for service. So instead we had to pay a different HVAC technician to come and fix it on one of the coldest days this winter. We called multiple times and left many messages with no follow up. We understand it's busy and we need their help because we aren't hvac technicians ourselves - but this isn't how to treat customers. They wouldn't appreciate their friends and family being serviced this way, so why should we?
