Tried to tune the furnace anyway to accommodate it, which was actually kind of fun to watch all the different ways it could be done. No other HVAC technician I've ever worked with before has done that. A/C maintenance went great too. First company I've ever hired that didn't try to sell me an entirely new unit just due to a faulty capacitor. Even gave me the model number of the capacitor to replace if I want to save money and do it myself (I'm reasonably handy so it's something I'd probably do). I'll be using them for as long as they give great service!

They said they could try to do a repair for about $1.3k but that they couldn't guarantee the repair would be effective because of the condenser. They then tried to sell me on their highest end heat-pump for about $24k, which was too much for our needs, since our furnace was also functional. We ended up choosing a basic AC replacement for around $9k. They were able to install the new unit two days later. However, on the day of the install, they saw some surface level rust on the furnace heat exchanger and tried to get me to replace it for an additional $4k. When I said no, they backed off and recommended a CO alarm (which we already have). It felt like I was being heavily taken advantage of because I was in a dire situation. The installation went fine, but my experience of being pressured and hard sold to during the process made it feel like I was being milked for every penny they could get out of me. Take this as a precaution to check your HVAC AC/furnace/heat pump regularly, and get multiple quotes before deciding on work. If you go with this company, they will seemingly do an effective job, but they will try their best to get as much money out of you as possible.

Jessy offered some advice on another HVAC question I had, and Carlos even helped my neighbor out with a stuck door--what a guy. Businesses like Super Heat make our neighborhood great.

Then, earlier this August, the AC stopped working, and an All Temp tech came out to investigate. Below are the events that unfolded. Aug 5 - Tech comes to house and identifies part that needs to be replaced Aug 10 - Parts person at All Temp had not ordered part because he was unable to find the part number. My husband found the part number in about 5 minutes by looking at the manual for our machine online. After we provided the part number to All Temp, they finally ordered the part (which they said needed to be shipped from China) Aug 13 - I called the sales person who sold us our unit and asked him to help us because we had not received an update on when the part would be received despite calling numerous times. He looked into it and said they would order us a whole new compressor instead of just the individual part of the compressor, and that would be received in their office "soon." Aug 17 - I called the sales person again because we had not received an update. He said the compressor would be in soon. Aug 19 - Received a call from All Temp saying they received our compressor, and they would come and install it the next day. I told them we were out of town, but our neighbor would be there. Aug 20 - A tech came to install the compressor. We received a call when they were done and the AC was working, and we were asked to pay $1,690. This was the estimate quoted to us on Aug 19 when they said they had the part. Aug 22 - Our neighbor informed us when we got home that All Temp DID NOT INSTALL A COMPRESSOR! We called and asked them what they actually did and why we were charged $1,690. As of Aug 26th, they still have not provided an answer. All Temp 1) misdiagnosed the issue with the AC, needlessly causing us to be without AC for over 2 weeks while we waited for a part we didn't need and 2) charged us for services they didn't perform.

On my first visit, I observed behavior from staff, David, that struck me as sexist toward women. On a second visit, my assistant was present to meet with them, and staff were dismissive and rude to her -- they largely refused to engage with her directly. Even more troubling, they reported to our building's front desk that they "thought something weird was going on," which felt like an inappropriate and baseless insinuation with no basis in reality. In my opinion, this reflects a broader pattern of unprofessional and sexist conduct that reflects poorly on how this company treats women, whether customers or staff. I'd caution anyone considering hiring them, especially if you're a woman who will be interacting with their team directly.

We hired this company to install a radiant floor heating system and asked that it be integrated with Ecobee thermostats so one thermostat could control both the radiant heat and the air conditioning. Unfortunately, they were unable to make that work. After spending considerable time trying, we ultimately agreed to a compromise of using separate thermostats for the radiant heat and the AC. Although this wasn't the solution we originally wanted, we accepted it and paid the invoice in full. Initially, Jordan gave us the impression that he was knowledgeable, trustworthy, and would stand behind the company's work. I genuinely thought we had found an HVAC company we could rely on for years to come. Because the installation was completed outside of the cooling season, we couldn't fully test the air conditioning until the weather became warm enough to use it. When we finally turned on the AC, neither unit worked properly. Jordan came out and discovered that one Ecobee thermostat had been miswired. He corrected the wiring, and that unit began working. However, he could not determine why the second unit was not working. Before leaving, he told us he would return within a day or two to continue troubleshooting. It has now been more than a week. We have called the company's call center multiple times, and every time we are told our message will be forwarded and someone will call us back. Despite our repeated attempts, we have never received a callback or been able to schedule the promised follow-up visit. We even asked to speak with a manager or another owner, but were told that information could not be provided. What disappoints me most is not that there were installation issues--those can happen on any project. It's what happened afterward. Once the final payment was made, it became nearly impossible to get anyone to respond or honor the follow-up that was promised. A warranty only has value if a company responds when customers need service. I truly wanted this company to be our long-term HVAC contractor. Instead, based on my experience, I was left with an unresolved HVAC issue, repeated unanswered service requests, and the feeling that the level of customer support changed after payment was received. I hope they improve their communication and follow-through, but based on my experience, I cannot recommend them.

While there's lots of the typical products like nuts and bolts, there's also the power tool and equipment rentals. If needing something like that and you aren't planning on using it again after that then this is where to go. The store can be hard to find things but the staff is friendly and helpful.

Only, the entire endeavor took way too long, meanwhile, the house is a mess while you're gallivanting the aisles. Enter Clark Devon Hardware. As soon as you walk in, you are greeted and offered assistance. Even if you are just browsing, others will ask you along the way. If you do ask for help, you will either be taken to the item or shown to a person who can help (as in, 'ask this person right over here,' who sees and waves). The team at Clark Devon is knowledgeable, kind, and no nonsense. They know you have things to do and places to be. They will be happy to help you and send you on your merry way. Clark Devon may not be the prettiest hardware store, and perhaps the big boxes may even have slightly cheaper prices (this is unconfirmed). However, it is my go-to for all hardware and home improvement needs, not only out of a desire to support a locally owned business, but because customer service counts for something too. If I am to offer one smidgen of feedback, it's that I wish they were open until later in the evening.

We have used Mark twice and been VERY impressed with his service. The first time he came to our place, it was because our space pack unit wasn't working and another vendor claimed it would likely cost over $1K to repair. We were suspicious of this and when we called Mark, he found that the other vendor had actually cut a few of our wires and the real problem was that we just needed a new air filter! Mark showed us the issues, explained things in plain English, quickly fixed the problem and charged us a fair price. There are a lot of sketchy vendors out there who are looking to fleece you and having someone like Mark you can trust is huge. He came out again when our AC unit had problems again and did his usual top-notch job. Yes, he isn't the most responsive guy - but keep in mind that he's a small business owner without a lot of infrastructure. It's basically him responding on his cell phone while going from job to job - and he's busy! Sometimes you have to be patient/ follow up with him. But trust me, that patience will be rewarded. Can't recommend him highly enough. read more

I can't say enough about Mark's terrific customer service, responsiveness, and knowledge - he's truly an expert! He was one of the only service technicians in the area that was available for an after hours call during the deep freeze. He quickly diagnosed the problem and got the boiler up and running while explaining the troubleshooting techniques so I could manage the issue until the necessary replacement part came in. He even offered to pick up the part for us if we were able to purchase it from a local supplier. Mark checked in frequently over the 5 days that it took the replacement part to come in to ensure the boiler was still running. We were so thankful that his work kept our boiler running while we waited for the delivery. He was very flexible in scheduling time to come back and finish the replacement and I can say that our boiler is running better than it ever has before. I'm beyond grateful to Mark for his service and expertise and I'd be the first to recommend his work! read more

Mark is a saint and a scholar. He is an engineer by trade and enjoys problem solving. After years of dealing with incompetent HVAC techs, Mark came along and discovered the root cause of our long standing issue. Not only did he offer a competitive price, but he also went through the trouble of investigating our unit's warranty and was gracious enough to pick up our replacement. Unlike other HVAC guys, he invested many hours to ensure there were no leaks and that the unit was working properly. You will not find a better HVAC service in Chicago. I must also mention that Mark inspected the entire unit and discovered another heating-related issue that was potentially a fire hazard. He replaced yet another part and most likely saved my house from a fire down the road. My family and I are incredibly grateful for the thoughtfulness and care that Mark puts into his work. read more

A few days ago, Mark fixed my boiler. I had detected a problem. A faint smell of gas was coming from the old reliable Peerless boiler which heats my home. (I suspect this leak was the cause of a persistent headache I had been dealing with.) I called Mark and he immediately fit me into his schedule. Mark was thorough, conscientious, expert, and worth it. He really knows his stuff, and I appreciate his ability to communicate the science in layman's terms. There truly are no silly questions with him. I also appreciate the way he considers the various options and pathways for solving a problem.

During install the owner showed up with 2 additional techs that looked like they were hangover from alcohol. I cought them looking into my fridge without a permition. They damaged my walls while uninstalling the old heater. But the biggest disappointment came when I saw how they installed new unit. Very sloppy job. Missing parts, missing seals, equipment not installed properly. Water dripping from a pipe in a closet, water dripping inside the heater unit. Wiring exposed. I'm not even sure how can this type of service can survive nowadays. Stay away!!! I spent another 1000$ to fix all this mess

What's great about Rory is he gives you the chance to understand what's going on with your HVAC system as a whole in a very simple abdominal patient way. He originally came by to balance the baffles in my home to better distribute the cold air where needed and the hot air where needed. We figured out the controls and then he taught me how to do it so I can do it myself when the seasons change. Since that initial balancing Rory has come to do seasonal checkups on my equipment at a very reasonable cost. We finally replaced had to replace my ac system this past week do to a leak/ burst coil. It was a 2011 system that was oversized for my space. We replaced it with a more eco-friendly Bosch system- condenser and coil. It took Rory and his team of 2 about 6 hours. They came in laid down tarps to protect my floors and disconnected everything, documenting the old equipment with photos. Hen then brought in connected and tested all the new equipment. The team was friendly, focused and considering they were hauling huge hvac equipment through my home, up and down stairs, they were very contained. Rory and Northwind are fair, honest, and work with you to figure out the best solution to your home and budget. He's in the wicker park area so central to most neighborhoods, and best of all he's never nickel and dimed me. Could not recommend more.

Our insurance put us over to Joe's and today is the FOURTH time they didn't show up. I tried to call with no answer and the mailbox is full so I can't even leave a voicemail.

Surprise early heatwave in Chicago and my central AC stopped working completely. When I reached out to Joe it was 98 degrees inside and I was living on a prayer - I figured I'd need one to find someone to come take a look for me. First call I made was not in fact to Joe but another competitor in the area & I got an estimate of 5 business days for them to come take a look. My next call was to Joe which was at around 4:30 pm on Tuesday. I got through to him right away. Joe was friendly and very receptive. Right off the bat he was up front and honest with me saying that the soonest he could come would be about 24 hours give or take because of already booked appointments. I appreciated the honesty, opened my day, and booked the service appointment. To get technical it was only in fact 17 hours that I had to wait & when Joe showed up I was so worried that something major was wrong and that I would either not be able to afford it or I'd empty my bank account trying . Long story short, Joe reassured me and it turned out that my AC system just needed a really good cleaning and a shot of Free-on. I spent PENNIES compared to what I thought I was going to have to shell out and I was absolutely blown away to have met such an honest, capable AC guy. Less than 2 hours and it's already 5 degrees cooler inside. I was so taken aback, to be honest. To have such a wonderful customer service experience seems so rare these days. Joe is already booked to come back and do a maintenance system clean in 6 months. I highly, HIGHLY recommend Joe for any and honestly all HVAC jobs. There's a comfort in knowing you've "got someone to take a look". I snagged my "hvac guy", should too! : )

This is a red flag, but they had done major work on our house years ago, so we went with it. They showed up on time, spent five minutes tightening a wire, got the electric to turn on, and then asked if there was anything else they could do, as they were charging us the full fee. We had them check out a few things we could think of, and they were gone within an hour. You might think, as we did, that that was pricey, but the job got done? NO. five days later, the electric in the garage is out again. We call and they send an estimate with Zeroes in the fee lines, so we OK their return. That morning, a technician comes and asks us how er'e going to pay. Turns out they want to charge us another $800. We called another company, which found the root problem and charged us $200 to fix it. Lesson learned. By the way, the well-praised Todd, who used to be our electrician, no longer works for them.

To note: I have articulated challenges over the years to multiple other vendors (two who came recommended). No matter the challenge, convo would start with sounds like you need to change your filter. Pardonnez-moi? You are under the impression that as a homeowner of this home for over a decade that I am unaware of filter grades and replacement schedules? They would pretend great confidence and then their recommendations would scream "guess" and typically come with a big bill. Not with Ruben. Service requested. Prompt and communicative response. He listened, did a thorough inspection, walked through the recommendations, they were clearly root causes easily remediated. I'm telling you: high quality, value, expertise, no sales pitch, incredibly responsive, communicative and just his whole team is a pleasure.
