Yesterday morning on a 98 degree day, our AC stopped working. We contacted Lyle from Lisle, and Robert was at our house within an hour or so. Which was amazing since we have been in a long heat wave, and I am sure they have been very busy fixing many AC units. He diagnosed the 2 problems that caused our AC to fail. He had to get new parts, and was back by noon today to fix the 2 issues. We now having a working air conditioner! They were very personable, professional, experienced and knowledgeable about finding out what caused our AC to stop working. We highly recommend this company!! read more

Another outstanding visit today from this company!!! Marty came over today and did an exceptional job checking and cleaning my furnace and changing my water filter. Marty answered all my questions and went above and beyond in providing excellent customer service today! Please reach out to this company to service your furnace if you want your job completed the right way! read more

Lyle from Lisle replaced my HVAC unit about 6 years ago and did quality work at a reasonable price. Rob with Lyle from Lisle came out to diagnose an intermittent buzzing sound that was coming from near my electrical panel when the HVAC was turning on or so I thought yesterday. Rob made himself available on a day when I was working from home which really helped with my schedule. After checking my unit and the panel (of course the sounds wouldn't happen when we cycled my HVAC), he thoroughly explained possibilities for the issue and recommended leaving the HVAC off to see if the noise returned. Hours later the noise come back and I was able to track it down to another neighbors unit causing the issue (condo building) and will be contacting the owner an HOA to get the situation fixed. I will recommend Rob at Lyle from Lisle to the other owners as they have always taken care of my HVAC needs. read more

Outstanding. HIGHLY Recommended. Robert arrived precisely at the time of the appointment and swiftly got to work. We recently purchased a new home and wanted to be sure the A/C system was working well. Robert walked me through the house, pointing out the locations of the filters, as well as explaining how the fresh air intake system works as this was foreign to me. Friendly, informative, educational, quick and reasonable cost. I will most certainly have then back to take a look at the furnace before Winter and will continue to use their services! read more

Lyle installed a new furnace and a/c in 2020. 5/11/2022 92 degrees at 9pm a/c pooped out. Had a very warm night and called Lyle at 8am the next day. Another 90 degree day but Robert got there at noon. Replaced a part under warranty and I will be sleeping in air conditioned comfort tonight. I gotta love this guy. Thanks Lyle and Robert! read more

Lyle from Lisle installed our furnace in July last year (2020) and we waited until the furnace was in use for a winter before writing a review of the installation. Our 19 year old two stage variable speed furnace had a small crack in the secondary heat exchanger, and we needed a replacement furnace. After much research, we decided to replace it with a single stage 96% AFUE furnace with a multi-speed ECM motor. Every installer we called, except Lyle, said we should replace our furnace with the same type 2 stage variable speed furnace because of the savings and the extra comfort we would get from such a replacement. Our 'monetary savings' experience with the two stage variable speed furnace has not been a positive one. In those 19 years, I had to replace the variable speed motor ($1200) and Motor Module ($1197). The total cost of those two repairs was equivalent to 2/3's the cost of what we paid for the furnace originally. Any savings we made in fuel efficiency disappeared with those repairs. Also, we did not notice any significant savings in our gas bill over the years from installing the 2 stage furnace. Lyle was in full agreement with the installation of the single stage furnace. He said: "More complex furnaces with "bells and whistles" will have problems down the road; their replacement parts are expensive, and they will cost you in labor to install (which I already knew from experience). With a BASIC furnace, your parts and labor will be less expensive down the line." Lyle's knowledge of HVAC systems, his not pushing us to upgrade and add bells and whistles to our new furnace, and his ability to answer all of our questions put him "head and shoulders" above everyone we contacted for an estimate. One thing that surprised us was his advising us to purchase a 100,000 BTU versus our current 120,000 BTU furnace. We live in the Chicago area and had a polar vortex winter in 2019 and my wife was worried a 100,000 BTU furnace would not give us sufficient heat in such a situation. His response was the two stage furnace was 120,000 x.95 x.67 = 76,380 btuh delivered in low heat; the new furnace 100,000 x .96 = 96,000 btuh delivered constant. He said it would deliver enough heat in polar vortex weather. We waited for winter to see how our new furnace would perform. We had a mild early 2020 winter, the furnace ran fine with no problems, and kept us cozy and warm. There was no significant increase in our heating bills as they were about the same as last winter. It could just be us, but my wife and I could tell no difference between the single stage and two stage furnaces. Still, before we submitted a review on Lyle, we waited for "polar vortex" type weather to see how our smaller 100,000 btu furnace would perform. In February, an arctic cold hit Chicago for 2 weeks (along with 18 inches of snowfall in some areas in two days' time), and although we did not experience 2019 "polar vortex" temperatures, the wind chill was as low as -23F outside. We were comfortable inside, the temperature in the house never dropped and was holding steady at 68 degrees, and all rooms were comfortable. We have a two story house, and our bedroom is on the second floor on the opposite side of the house where our furnace is located in the basement, and we felt cozy during this entire time (we also ran a room humidifier in our bedroom). Lyle's recommendation of a 100,000 btu furnace versus the 120,000 btu we had previously was spot on. One reads over and over on HVAC forums that it's NOT the 'furnace brand' that's most important in the selection of a furnace, but the most important part is the contractor you select in the installation of the furnace. We hit the "bulls eye" with Lyle. We highly recommend him for any of your HVAC needs! He is honest, reliable, knowledgeable, and reasonably priced. read more

Initial contact was to have the house air recharged. This was done quickly with a simple text message. The result was a recharged system at about 1/3 the cost of "what was " my regular system maintenance company! UNFORTUNATELY, the compressor failed. Called Lyle again. Received a quote to replace my 23 year old system. Price and new product were perfect. But the most important fact was an install 4 days later. Install team members were knowledgeable, efficient, thorough, courteous and Very Neat. My interaction with Lyle and company was A+! I found myself a NEW HVAC connection! read more

Lyle never saw fit to return my call to fix my broken AC so I went elsewhere. Maybe he lives up to the reviews (I smell a few shills), but ignoring service requests is unprofessional one-star behavior in my book. I don't beg businesses to take my money by leaving more than one message, but maybe others do. YMMV read more

The guys from Lyle of Lisle were true professionals! They installed a new thermostat and cleaned our furnace. They were quick,clean,and accommodating. Very easy to work with! Reasonable rates as well. read more

Lisle was very responsive and extremely knowledgeable about our air conditioning and furnace replacement. His prices are fair and he provides excellent customer service. His crew was very professional and had the job done quickly during a very hot spell this summer. We would highly recommend his business to anyone needing HVAC services. read more

I called Lyle after my furnace was on the fritz. He was very courteous and attempted to give me some tips over the phone to try before having to come out for a service call in case it was something I could easily do. I could not lol. He came in an attempted to fix but unfortunately a specific part ended up being fried. The furnace was older (17 yrs) and Lyle was nice enough to give me some different options. He also lent me five space heaters since it was still the winter to keep warm. My wife and I decided to just go and get a new furnace and Lyle gave me his quote and suggested I get some others to compare. He also let us keep the space heaters until we made our decision. His quote came right around the same as others but with a slightly more efficient furnace so we went with him. Lyle's crew came quickly and was able to get everything swapped out for us. He also taught me a great deal about HVAC which was nice. He also installed my new smart thermostat free of charge while they were here. I really recommend Lyle for all your HVAC needs and will be using him in the future! read more

I met Lyle at the Lisle Car Show. Our tastes in cars were different, but as we talked, I figured that this is the kind of guy I look to do business with. I called him up 18 months later and he remembered me. The temps had hit 95 degrees and everybody needed a/c service ASAP. He scheduled me in 3 days, but 1/2 hour later he called and said he had time available that same afternoon. He knew it would be a quick visit and he was flexible enough to move and adjust his schedules. We have long had an ongoing very slow refrigerant leak, usually needing a "top off" once a year. This had been a regular thing for several years, it was just cheaper to do that than pay for a leak test and repair as quoted by our former service company. Lyle did the recharge for about 1/2 price of the big name guys that advertise in those mailers that we all get. Lyle had given us his second yearly dose of refrigerant and a month later, we noticed that the leak, formerly a once-a-year event, has recurred much faster this time. He came right out and put another dose of refrigerant. He said it was time to rethink doing some replacing, and it might make better sense for us to think about the numbers again. He did that service call for free, including the 1.5# of refrigerant since we agreed to have him replace the outside condenser and the a/c inside coil... Plus a nifty Honeywell daily programmable thermostat giving us a much improved efficiency rating. He did his work for what amounted to 40% less than that other big name company (the one with the 800#, answering service, a fleet of trucks, mailers, and constant phone calls for service reminders). He installed this new a/c unit while taking with him an intern from an HVAC school. Just listening in to what Lyle was explaining to him spoke well of the kind of intelligence of service that he provides. He only travels to work in Lisle, so he might be one of the best reasons to live here. Highly recommended in every way. read more

Lyle has replaced both furnaces/AC's in our home. After calling literally dozens of other companies it was obvious that his knowledge and service can't be beat. His price was right to boot. Great people. Great work. Don't call anybody else. read more

Lyle was quick to respond to phone calls. He explains your problem well. Does good quality work. Quoted a price and kept it at that price. Scheduled a time for work and was punctual. Lyle replaced my furnace and hauled away the old one. read more

We were freezing!!!!! Our furnace went out on the coldest night of the year. We put in a all to Lyle from Lisle and he came out early the next morning. He was right on time and gave us heat . At 11 pm the heat went out again and he came over immediately to make sure we had heat for the night. He has since installed a new furnace and thermostat. Fast , efficient and affordable! All is well thanks to Lyle from Lisle. We highly recommend him! Mike and Maria Rohloff Indian Head Park read more

Lyle installed a new furnace and AC unit for us. He came to the house for a service call and we determined due to the age of my furnace/AC it was best to replace. Lyle was so clear in his explanation, offered many options , no pressure on sales, and his prices are low. He came with 2 other guys for the installation. The team was timely, efficient, and clean. Highly recommended!!!!! Chuck Goff Woodridge, IL read more

I was having trouble with my furnace and noticed it was intermittently blowing hot air and them after a few hours it would stop and cold air would start to blow. Wasn't sure if it was my burners that were going out or if it was a sensor issue. I found Lyle on Yelp and after reading the favorable reviews, I decided to call him. He came out right away and was able to do a full inspection and also deter!one the issue that was causing my furnace to blowout cold air. He made the repairs and within an hour everything was firing up again! His pricing was fair and he was very professional and courteous. I would definitely recommend Lyle from Lisle to my friends and family, and of course he will be my go to HVAC guy. (Work completed in October 2013) read more

Integrity is everything. Fantastic, prompt, practical evaluation and honest report. I would not work with anyone else.

Lyle from Lisle literally saved us over $600 on a repair of our furnace versus a quote from a big company that was trying to sell us a new furnace instead of repairing ours which is less than 12 years old. Don't call the big companies, call Lyle. He was completely professional, honest, and very knowledgeable. read more

Our furnace went out the first cold night this year...on a weekend...naturally. We called Lyle from Lisle Sunday morning based on positive Yelp reviews. We agree--Lyle is great. He came ASAP, was fairly priced, and showed how to fix the problem ourselves if it happens again. We will def use him again, and highly recommend! read more

Very happy with the service provided by Lyle. He was very professional and helpful. We had him install a new furnace, whole house humidifier and air filter. His work looks great and our house is now being heated by a high efficiency heater. He explained exactly what our house needed and didn't up sell us on products we didn't need. We are very satisfied with his work and would recommend him for any furnace or ac work! He will be taking care of any heating or cooling issues we have in the future. read more

Fast, reliable, professional and clean. Had service on furnance from another company which we had been using for years . Same problem came up 1 day latter. Contacted Lyle who responded quickly. He resolved the issue with a simple fix and gave the furnance a thorough inspection and cleaning Other company had told me I would probaby need a new furnance/air conditioner. Lysle informed us our unit was fine, in great shape and go easily go at least 10 more years .The other Company did not even update the service log that should be kept by the unit. I am disabled and Lysle worked around my schedule. Very honest and trusting. Lyle is our new heating and a/c repair man. I strongly recommend him. read more

Our air conditioning went out and my husband called Lyle. He said he was in the area and could stop by. My husband and I were both at work. He told my husband not to worry he would look at it and give him a call back. That said he fixed our A/C while we were gone and we popped a check in the mail to him! He was quick, was able to repair it right away, did quality work and price was very fair. We would highly recommend Lyle from Lisle. He did a great job!! read more

Lyle did a great job diagnosing and repairing my electric furnace from the 1970's. He talked me through the process and gave recommendations on upkeep as well. Most important, when I put in the call on Sunday, he loaned me FOR FREE 2 space heaters to save me from buying/renting them until he could come do the full repair. Very professional and accommodating. If your in 4 lakes, Lyle is your go to guy! read more

As others have pointed out, Lyle is courteous, knowledgeable, passionate about his work, and most importantly- FAIR! He took the time to explain everything he was doing. Before taking any action he listened to our overall goals and explained the options. He suggested a simple fix rather than an expensive replacement. It's rare to find a genuinely decent person you can trust with major appliances your family relies on but knows nothing about repairing. Lyle will treat you fairly. If you're like my family and you're trying to do what's best for your kids and budget you can't ask for anything more. read more

Lyle was recommended by my agent who is also a property manager. I manage properties as well and Lyle is doing a few things right. First, he is experienced, knowledgeable and very respectful of you and your home. He is also very honest which is rare, he will let you know what products/services are not needed and would be a waste of money. I was looking up a fin comb and he advised its not needed unless the fins are totally bent over. He will also take the time to educate you about his trade. Did you know those thick expensive air filters are actually not good for your AC unit? Lyle was on time and fair when it came to pricing. He also prices in a new filter, and several other "freebies" which may vary depending on the call but is still a huge competitive advantage. I will be using Lyle for all my HVAC needs in my home as well as rentals. He does not service window units however, this is important to know but he will recommend a place that can replace those. Lyle is more like a neighbor than a service provider but business done right is good business. I highly recommend him. read more

I called Lyle recently when our furnace's inducer motor went kaput. His business came up on a Google search, and he was local, with good reviews. He lived up to everything: He was prompt, a straight shooter, and gave us some good advice on our furnace going forward. The price was also very reasonable. Definitely keeping his business card for future needs. read more

I called last Tuesday and got a call back the same day indicating Lyle could be at my place the next day as he was coming back from vacation. I picked Thursday to meet (based on my work schedule) and Lyle was a little early (nice!). My a/c was out but he did a general inspection of my heater unit as well as a courtesy. It was apparent that he knew exactly what he was talking about. He spent about 15 minutes looking at my a/c and let me know he would be back in 20 mins with a part. He replaced my capacitor and was done within an hour. He could have told me anything and charged me a lot more. He was honest, explained everything to me in great detail so I could understand, and I was charged much less than I thought it would have been. I will be using and recommending Lyle from Lisle going forward and recommend him to all friends and family in the area. Lyle is exactly what you want when calling for an HVAC repair: honest, affordable, and with great people skills. read more

Disclaimer: I never got a chance to actually become a paying customer. I called lysle in a mild panic because the nest thermostat I installed wouldn't power up and I had to leave home. He said he was booked for several days and couldn't come out but spent time on the phone coaching me through things to troubleshoot. It's tough to inside anyone as busy as he is taking time out to do that. I look forward to becoming a paying customer very soon. read more

Couldn't ask for better service! Lyle had a personal emergency, yet still managed to assist my family with my air-condition freon issue. Very personable and professional service. Was honest and gave me a lesson in the basics of air condition maintenance and input on how to extend the life of the unit. He is very fair and gave a great price based on what the need of the call was. Highly recommend Lyle and am very appreciative of him taking the time from his personal emergency to assist my family! read more

Lyle from Lisle is the only HVAC company I trust. Lyle is kind, honest and makes every attempt to make it out as quickly as possible. I've recommended him to quite a few of my friends and family and they've all had the same great experiences! read more

We had a proposal for a new air conditioner from another company that seemed high to me. In doing my initial homework to replace our old air conditioner I remembered seeing reviews for Lyle from Lisle. The thing that had stuck in my mind was he didn't have a single negative review. Well that and the company name (clever). Lyle came out and reviewed our home and current equipment. Lyle recommended a smaller air conditioner (our current unit was too large and did not properly remove the humidity). We got our new air conditioner AND furnace from Lyle for less than the quote we had for just a new air conditioner from the other company. The timeliness and workmanship were second to none. We couldn't be happier. The furnace and air conditioner were a good brand (same as our old furnace). Thank you, Lyle! read more

I live in a 2 story home and the second story is much warmer than the first floor so we are always turning the thermostat, which is on the first floor, down to get the second floor cooler. I asked Lyle from Lisle to come out and quote dual-zoning the house, either by retrofitting the existing duct work or redoing it with dual furnace/ac units. He looked the system over and the layout of the house and recommended against dual-zoning because of the 2 story entry and the layout of the duct work. Instead he recommended an attic exhaust fan, refering me to a provider since he doesn't do that work, and a multiphase approach to upgrading my 10 yr old builder grade furnace/ac unit to something that would be more energy efficient, cool the home faster, and still work within my budget. Thanks Lyle. read more

Lyle made time at the end of his day on short notice to fix my mom's furnace. He fixed the issue and gave her tips to help maintain. My mom has used him a couple of times and has amazing g experience. He is always explains everything in a way that is easy to understand and is very friendly. I would highly recommend his service. read more

In all my years as a homeowner, I've not experienced the terrific level of knowledge and professionalism that I saw in Lyle. I received a home inspection report from a buyer of one of my condos that had a list of requests/action items including several for HVAC. I reached out to Lyle who was personally recommended by one of my friends. Lyle carefully reviewed each and every item on that report and addressed all the points knowledgeable and thoroughly. His help and support was priceless at a time of significant stress. I can't recommend Lyle from Lisle highly enough. Look forward to using his services in the years to come for any/all other properties as well as passing on his information to all my friends, colleagues and neighbors! read more

Lyle did a great job. I had a furnace and central air unit installed. Also tracked down a gas leak on my stove top without charging anything. Pricing is good and insures he cleans up after himself. So far VERY happy! read more

Simply the best. This is the only place you shouild go for your HVAC needs. I own and have owned multiple homes and had used various providers over the years until I found Lyle. I've also recommended him to many friends, family, clients and co-workers and each time he exceeds their expecations. read more
