We had Phil Lantz come in and he was just amazing! Super knowledgeable and efficient. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue. Turned out it was our water softeners that were the main culprit. Phil was able to replace them the following day and now we have running water! Thanks Phil! read more

I previously bought a Carrier Infinity furnace from Dykstra services. Upon calling Dykstra for a furnace repair I had Precision Today showup at my home. Apparently, Dykstra has been sold. The service representative quoted me a price to fix my furnace of $1950. I was informed that since I did not have yearly maintenance I would have to pay for labor but the part would be covered under warranty. I asked him how long it would take to replace the part and he stated one hour. The service representative also told me it would be $4000 to fix my furnace if I did not have my 10-year warranty. I subsequently chased him out of my home. I called another Carrier dealer (Fire N Ice) and was charged one hour labor to replace the part. Precision Today also tried to do the same to my cousin ($1750). Whereas, he used Fire N Ice and was charged $145. Both of us are senior citizens. i WOULD RATE PRECISION TODAY AT ZERO IF i COULD. read more

left with more questions than answers. overheard talking about up prices vs solving. multiple people involved over a 4 day process and was charged separately after "review" for an issue we asked about the first day. we called the next morning and someone was supposed to come out .... our sink wouldn't drain... left without checking.... we waited 48 hours after they originally came. we have no water pressure anymore. my bathroom panels have gouges that were random and never addressed. ive had to glue paneling down since then. I can't wash any dishes anymore. also after all the pushing of more expensive services.... never gave an electronic or physical warranty. still waiting on it after it was requested and paid for. left with leaking pipes minutes after leaving. guess it's our problem now. read more

After smelling gas in our utility room, we called NICOR to have them check for a leak. Two leaks were detected in the pipes. NICOR marked the locations and turned off the gas, leaving us without heat and hot water. We immediately called AWE (the company we have used for many, many years for maintenance and repair of our AC and furnace) and asked for a plumber to come out to fix the leaks. The plumber worked on the pipes for 2 hours or so, and determined it was best to do a temporary fix on the pipe with the significant leak, to get us heat for the night. His decision was due in part because he didn't have the supplies/tools needed to make the permanent fix! NICOR came back out after he completed the temporary fix and turned the gas back on. The same plumber returned the next afternoon to start the permanent fix. After more than six hours the two pipes with leaks were "fixed." The plumber told us that the pipes were no longer leaking and the strong gas smell would dissipate. He charged us over $2,000 and we thought we were good to go. NICOR returned after the permanent job was completed, tested for leaks, and gas was still detected. The percentage was even higher than what was previously detected and sometime throughout this whole process, a new leak was found in a connection that the plumber had disassembled and reassembled. NICOR turned the gas off once again. This same process continued for 5 days. A plumber would come out, claim he fixed the leaks, NICOR would come back, find leaks were still detected, and shut off the gas. Precision sent 3 different plumbers for a total of 5 service calls before the last plumber finally solved the problem. Nicor restored the gas, and we finally had heat and hot water after 4 days without! We would call Precision Today to tell them about the continued leaks after they "fixed" it, and the customer service rep who answered the phone would always express their concern and say that they would notify dispatch. Multiple times, hours would pass (or even into the next day) before we would get a return call or a plumber would show up. Aren't you a 24/7 emergency company? Eventually, when we would call Precision Today, and ask to speak with a manager. "Oh yes, I will put a message through to the manager and have him call you." was their canned reply. Again, days would pass before the manager would return our call. Don't be fooled by their website and marketing: "We employ trained, certified plumbers and technicians, and our team is dedicated to superior service in everything we do. We strive to get the work done right the first time and hold our team to high standards." "If we don't exceed your expectations, we'll give you your money back. That's our industry-leading guarantee, which you get every time you work with Precision Today." Neither of those statements could be farther from the truth. We have ended our HVAC preventative maintenance agreement, and will never use this company again. Be warned!! UPDATE: We received a phone call from a supervisor who acknowledged our concerns. We appreciated his phone call. read more

Very annoyed I agreed to have them come to my shop. They assured me they would beat the ridiculous price another plumber gave us, promoting discounts, and then they charged us more-- $700+ an hour in labor. Parts are $150 that's super scummy. We are a struggling small business in an inflamed world. read more

I would stay far away from this company!! I was convienced by the service tech in December of 2024 that I would be needing a new furance and airconditioner soon - my unit was 12 years old - I purchased a new furnance and air conditioner and it was installed a few days later. This summer when the air conditioner is on my family room and kitchen vibrate. I have had mutiple people out and no one appears to be able to fix it. The last person was out two months ago and said he would talk to his manager and get back to me - I have heard absolutely NOTHING. I had a family party 9/13 people sitting in the kitchen and family room - wanted to know why they felt like they were on a vibrating couch or chair. My son laid on the couch and said it vibrates so much it gave him a headache. I had some water in a glass on the side table in the family room and the glass was making noise from the vibration. It appears the only time someone reaches out to me in when I do a YELP review - so here is my 2nd review and it is the same as before - I would stay away from this comapny read more

I contracted Precision Today to perform an installation of a new Heater, AC, and Humidifier in May of 2024. Here we are three months later, making payments on an $18K loan and the installation is still incomplete. No call backs, no replies to my emails, no one following up on the installation. I've even inquired about having the equipment removed and the money refunded per their guarantee in contract and still I receive no response. Next steps will have to be involving the Illinois Attorney General. I'm going to go out on a limb here and say if getting service from a vendor necessitates looping in Kwame Raoul then there's something wrong here. read more

Terrible Communications. Called June 2nd to schedule a annual clean and check of my AC unit. They scheduled me for July 3rd, with a 4 hour window between 12pm-4pm. I waited 4 hours for them to show up and no one came. NO SHOW and NO CALL. I called the following Monday to find why there was a no call no show on my scheduled day. Their explanation was "Sorry" we had more important calls due to the hot weather. I understand emergency calls would come before a cleaning, but to not contact me and make me wait 4 hours for nothing is poor business. So then they rescheduled my cleaning for the end of August! 7 weeks later! You think I would have been given some priority scheduling since they were a no call and no show. I see their ads on TV and how you can get service in one day. I guess not in my case. I was a customer of AWE (air water and energy. I had a great experience with them). Since it was taken over by Precision Today I thought I would give them a try. read more

I had paid for Annual Monthly Combo Membership PRT for $300. Included in the member ship is: -Priority Service -Three year warranty (Plumbing and Electrical), one year warranty HVAC -Never a dispatch fee for maintenance -100% satisfaction guaranteed -Never Pay twice for the same repair -Never pay full price savings -Seasonal A/C system check and filter change -Seasonal furnace check -Air purification system check There are additional perks of membership, but IT DOESN'T MATTER!!! I had scheduled Air Conditioning maintenance in May, I was delayed due to "other priorities" to August. In August I was told I would be delayed until September. I don't think I need to have my Air Conditioning checked in September, I would need my heat checked. I'll probably be delayed for my inspection until April when I would need my air conditioning checked. This membership is a complete rip off. I've never been a priority for Precision Today. They no longer need to call or e-mail me, I can find alternative providers. For Precision Today reference, Invoice 172167256. read more

Terrible experience. Had a severe plumbing issue - wouldn't come out same day even though they are "Precision Today." Next day waited around half day and then they cancelled on me and asked to reschedule. When I complained stating "I needed someone yesterday" they offered me $50 on upcoming service. Don't hold yourself out as an emergency/quick solution company when you can't deliver. Clearly they don't have the staff or commitment to "same day" solutions. I would never contact this business again. read more

I just wanted to let you know how disappointed I was with the charge I paid for Ray Santiago to come out and assess my noisy toilet problem on 1/13/2025. Ray did a great job and noticed the problem almost immediately. It was a split gasket on the flapper that was leaking. Ray provided me with an estimate and I assumed it was going to take a little time and effort to fix replacing the flapper system. Well, to my surprise, he removed the split gasket and took out a new one that might have cost $5.00. Ray slid it over the tube and had it on in 5 minutes. For this, I was charged $190 plus the service fee of $59.90. I just want you to know that I don't mind paying for a service but this was ridiculous for a rubber gasket and maybe 20 minutes of Ray's time. I would have been responsive to the service fee and tops, a $100 gasket job but this was crazy. I won't be calling Precision Today for any future jobs. read more

Stop trying to push a 6k furnace for every issue!!! Had a tech come out and tell me what the issue is, but basically said we won't do the repair, it wasn't worth it. They'd rather do a furnace. Please don't waste your time. There was a time I loved this place. Well they have definitely changed. read more

They come out fast to make the sale and leave you hanging for the things that are promised, and to remediate their failed inspection. I regret every moment of using them. Do your research and stay far away. read more

ittbeen another day of broken promises by Precision Today. in March, they installed a new HVAC system at my home with no coolant in it. I did not discover this until the temperature suddenly hit 90 degrees and I had a house guest. I tried for 3 days to get help from Precision. Depending on who I talked to, it's the norm to install a cooling unit with no fluid in it. others in the company were horrified. I finally got an appointment for between 1-4 today. No one showed, despite my repeated calls and their promises to get back to me, which they did not. finally, at 4pm, I was told that someone would be here between 8 and 10pm. I called at 8 and 9:39 and was told I was next up. at 10, I was told they were all booked for the night and did I want to reschedule. Now, presumably, someone will call tomorrow to schedule. What are the chances that will happen? PRECISION TODAY IS A NIGHTMARE. DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT HIRING THEM. read more

After spending over $21K in May on a new Trane furnace and A/C System. After the installer of this system provided false information and shoddy work forcing him to come back twice To Cochise work. After told that a years supply of filters were provided with the system and having to request these filters twice after installation. After opening the box of filters now to change the one in the furnace and finding that the replacements are the wrong size. And after being promised for six consecutive days that the correct filters would be delivered and still no receipt. After offering to pick up the filters myself, and being told that I don't need to. Today there was a firm scheduled appointment for a technician to deliver these filters "around mid-morning ". It is now the end of the day and no one has come or called. I am cautioning all to beware of Precision Air sales and services. With all of this aggravation there has never been a gesture of remorse or consideration For all of my trouble. Prior to the acquisition of 5 Star Heating and Air, by Precision, a customer would have never experienced these things. I will be blogging and posting my experiences here and in other places online and possibly with the BBB. If this is the treatment you get with buying an expensive HVAC system, what happens when you need service? read more

Wow, wish I would've looked at Yelp reviews after seeing their "five star" rating on Google. I used them because I had a coupon which they honored even though it was expired, so that was nice. Turns out I really needed it though because the prices advertised on their website are complete lies. No hidden fees, what a joke! And no, I'm not referring to the $59 dispatch fee as an unexpected cost. All of the customer services reps, dispatchers, and water heater technician TJ were very nice and efficient. Our sewer technician Alex not so much. The advertised $99 sewer camera inspection became $260 because he had to access it inside even though no one at any point (even within the website promo's fine print) mentioned that $99 was for outside access only. I don't know if we had an outside access point, and he didn't even ask or check before going inside. He made up a false reason on the spot that the $99 promo is only in combination with a cleaning... then customer service later said it was due to the access point, which was after I reluctantly agreed to the higher cost so he could get started. The advertised $59 water heater flush became $110 for no reason at all. And the standard price, without the promo, is listed as $79 on their website. What??? Thankfully, the technician honored the $59 promo after seeing it one the website (which was a complete surprise to him... you love to see it). Pricing wasn't the only issue. Alex, the technician that did my sewer line camera inspection, left a disgusting mess behind. Sewer water splatters everywhere. To be fair, before he parted, he asked if I was ok with cleaning up. I thought he meant putting everything I had to pull out of the utility closet back in, not sewage cleanup. Come on, man... have some common decency and wipe up the obvious sewage splatters on my walls, floors, and doors before charging me double what your company advertises... I'm only giving them more than one star because they honored an expired coupon, had a very efficient dispatch system, and one of our technicians was very friendly. read more

Horrible. $1000 quote to replace a kitchen faucet and a Moen cartridge that costs $25 online. Highway robbery. I am reporting them to the BBB. I am very angry I had to pay a $99 assessment/travel fee for this outrageous price gouging. This isn't a business--it's a mob shake down. 0 STARS read more

Terrible pricing $450 to install a faucet. got it done for $150 service tech was like " we're a 5 star company " so you get what you pay for...lol read more

Don't believe their time frame! They lie and tell you that they will come out to secure your business and then under deliver on their promises. Our air conditioning started to make a loud noise so after speaking to several repair businesses we settled on precision today because they said they could come out same day. We later received an email with a picture of the technician who would be coming out, but 5 mins later a lady from the shop called to tell us that no one would be coming until next week and couldn't even give us a date. This business is a scam promising things they have no intention of doing. We had another business tell us they could come out and we told them no because we believed that Precision would keep their commitment and now we have to go all weekend without AC because available spots filled up. Don't make the same mistake, hire another company who will do what they say they will do!!! read more

Precision Today - Email from business - Plumbing Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

I do not recommend using this plumbing co due to broken promises and their overcommit. I was told the job would be finished in 1 day. My home was uninhabitable for over a week. With no water/sewer, no air conditioning during 90 degree week, or gas. They sent two men to dig four foot deep trench. When they should have used equipment. They required power equipment to clear sewer drain that was not available or included in the original quote. This is the what they considered a finished job. See picture. We had to hire someone on a Sunday at $1,200 to finish the job so we can live there. I'm so disappointed. I trusted them. They got to my house so quick and underestimated to get the contract for this job. They encouraged us to do it immediately when they didn't have equipment or manpower. On Friday afternoon workers left job site to enjoy their weekend with a dug out pit and our utilities turned off. I don't usually write negative reviews but this had to be documented. read more

Precision Today - This is a finished job. What a disaster - Plumbing Near Me - Carol Stream, Illinois

Another home run for Precision Today! Andrew Z ~ he was so patient and knowledgeable and answered all my questions! He showed up on time, both days! He took care not to track any dirt, etc into my home. When he diagnosed the problem he showed me pictures and explained what needed to be done and why. He gave me at least 4 options on fixing it, that really impressed me. Bonus points for Andrew, he was really cool with my staffie dog, Roman; Roman knows when a person is 'good people' and he liked Andrew!! Water heater and a few extras done, made sure water pressure was good and area left clean! Andrew came prepared and ready to get the job done! HIGHLY recommend Precision Today and make sure you ask for Andrew Z.!! read more

In-line shut off water valve installation costs $520 after their 10% discount. 20 min of work. Parts are very cheap... some celebrity pricing idk. I feel taken advantage of! A young lady who knows NOTHING in plumbing, yet needs to have a valve done to have a new fridge working... my father in law said the price I paid seems like a scam and it really can't be more than $100! Very nice people very ridiculous prices. Also some ideas of pricing: faucet replacement $500 with your faucet, simple fridge hook up $250, simple toilet plunger replacement $250... where on earth do they take these numbers from... Ps. Everything is based on ridiculous prices and their desire to sell you stuff. Initially I invited this company to figure out why my water bill is so high, perhaps there's a leak? A guy came and gave an estimate for all toilet replacements just because new ones might be more efficient Later I found a water leak in our faucet myself and the plumber never mentioned it. Had this company over once again and was told the best idea is to replace the whole faucet cuz it's old. This time is the valve time - this time they were trying to get me looking into water heaters even tho mine work just fine. Ugh. Ridiculous prices and a great desire to sell. But hey, still very nice and sweet people no complaints there. read more

they charged me $100 four years ago. Last month for the same service I was charged over $700. I understand prices have gone up, but a 700% increase seems unreasonable. I attempted to work with their customer service and was told there was nothing they could do. Extremely unhappy with this company!! read more

Brandon did a great job. Identified a problem with our shower valve/cartridge and had it fixed along with water heater fush, maintenance check & valve and flapper replacements on 2 toilets. ..all in less than than 2 hrs. read more

James was quick and efficient. Had a couple options to consider installing but no pressure to buy. Only issue I had was with scheduling. Said would be here after 12 noon (no time frame) and had to wait until til 4:45 before he showed up. ​​Not a big fan of sitting around for over 4 hours waiting. Although they did keep in touch so will give them credit for that. read more

CONSUMERS BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!! READ REVIEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ZERO STARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP OFF!!!!!!!!!!!! I had a leaking water heater and didn't have time to shop around and get estimates so I went ahead and scheduled with this company since they were local and had decent Yelp reviews. The tech that showed up was courteous, did a good job, and cleaned up after the work was completed so no problems there. I have two issues with this company. First issue is with their pricing which is ridiculously high and basically a rip off so my advice is for you is get some other estimates before choosing this company. Actually my recommendation is to not even use this company. Again I knew the estimate was outrageous but based on timing constraints on my end, I went ahead with the work. Here was the scope of work. Replace a 40 gallon gas water heater. It was a 6 year warranty contractor grade AMERICAN® water heater probably no more than $600. There was some additional piping replacement, replaced flue pipe, gas valve, shut-off valve. All minor work I would estimate the parts at no more than $100. I was charged around $1900 total for the job. Let's do some math. The guy showed up, scoped the job, generated an estimate, did all the work, wrote up the invoice, took payment and was all done and gone in around 3 hours. $1900 minus $700 of materials is $1200 for labor. That's $400/hour. The guy even tells me the rate is high because they have to charge for travel and a bunch of other misc crap. Second issue with with the product they resell. The AMERICAN® water heater is a piece of crap. The shower and sink faucets have to have the cold water almost turned off in order to get any hot water. I already have the temperature setting on the water heater set higher than normal. Any higher of a setting and the water would be dangerously scolding. I did not have this problem with the old water heater with any of the faucets. I think the guy even knew he sells a crappy product and this is a known issue because he told me if I don't get enough hot water to try turning up the temperature setting on the water heater. If you like an inferior product and getting ripped off, then go ahead and give them a call otherwise keep looking. Trust me, reading this post just saved you a lot of $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ read more

See all

It began 3 years ago. Our sewer/water drain(s) were backing up in our laundry room. TWO other plumbing companies showed me just a ball of roots, but they could only remove about 15% of the blockage, and no more. The roots grew back, and the backups began again. Called Precision Today late last Friday and they were here early Monday. My technician, Stephen, could not have been more professional to work with and educated in water and sewer lines. While the other two pluming companies could not cleat my sewer line roots, Stephen used a Hydr-jet (?) and cleared out all the roots. As both of the previous plumbers suggested we put a cleanout valve in front of the house, Stephen found that there is already one there!!! It was just buried under some dirt and decorative stone. It appears the roots of some Junipers I have planted there, grew straight down that cleanout. Stephen took it further and found that a pipe the Village had installed about 30 years ago, had flattened and "pancaked", making the opening smaller than it should be. I "thought" the first two companies I contacted were professionals, but Stephen, with Precision Today, just raised the bar as to what "professionalism" should be. Our thanks to both Precision Today, and especially, to Stephen. We will be using them again. read more

I had the pipes clogged at my house. The technician came and said that he has to perform a hydrojet service and because the pipe was in a crawl space he should charge $2,746 even though a crawl space is clean and high enough. Their service is extremely overpriced!!! (just a camera inspection cost $455) He did not even try to come up with different solutions and said " that is my option" I paid $59 travel charges and let him go. Waist of time! read more

Overpriced compared to competition, they also one of those companies that charges a travel fee. I called the office to give this feedback directly to try so I would consider them in the future but no charges were adjusted and no manager reached out to discuss. I would stay away from this company and use another one in best pick reports. read more

horrible service. they kept rescheduling and then finally they no-showed with no communication or notification.

It costed 455$ just to have a guy come out and put a camera in my toilet. Then he tells me the "problem" and tells me it's illegal to jet through a toilet in Illinois and gave me a random quote for 7,000$ to put in one trap. Thank God I called another company for a 2nd opinion. This company is just salesmen. read more

I had them come out to restore water flow by milling main sewer line via outside clean out. They advertise $199 for restoring water flow and then surprise you with an additional $99 for travel expenses. What a scam. No where on their site it says there is a travel charge. They do falsely advertise no hidden fees. Wish I could have rated them better, but a scam is a scam. read more

Paul was our technician and he was fantastic. We are selling our house and the new buyers were concerned about the water heater leaking due to water on the ground. Paul walked in and within minutes identified the leak was on the out going pipe and the water heater was working perfectly. He fixed the pipe within 45 minutes and did solid documentation so the buyers could feel confident in his pipe repair and the condiction of the water heater. We are moving soon and we will continue to use Precision, hopefully, Paul in the future! read more

This is the 1st time I used this company and was very pleased and happy with the service. Howard, the plumber assigned to my plumbing job was more than impressive. It was a difficult work order in my condo, and Howard was persistent until he identified the source of the problem and resolved the issue. Howard was easy and quite flexible to work with, additionally just frendly, and very competent in his work. if I have any other home or condo work that needs to be fixed, i will be calling Precision Today. And if its a plumbing matter I will he asking for Howard. I strongly recommend this company! read more

I received a quote of $1,400 to have a chimney liner installed at my house. I called to set up the service and they ended up rescheduling on me twice. Not a huge deal, but not off to a great start. Once the guys showed up at my house to complete the job, they said the employee that originally quoted the job no longer works there and it would now cost over $4,000 to have the same job completed. Precision was not willing to honor the quote they provided. There is no time limit on the quote in order to complete the job. Total bait and switch. Avoid this company. I certainly will. read more

Our toilet and shower flooded, I was charge $1700 plus cleaning the root outside the house. They told I have one year warranty if it happens again. A week later the shower flooded again and clogged up. Call this company again and they said it doesn't cover the the warranty and they don't have tools to unclogged the inside the house problem. They recommend to change the old pipe and charging me again $1700. Do you really want to this company? read more

Initially we used them for a drain back up and they came same day. The guy was nice and he said we needed the line milled for $824. We are a 2 person household. He did shame our toilet paper choice. Lol. So we got it fixed out of necessity. Plus there was a 6 month warranty. 3 weeks later we had to call them again and the new guy gave me the same song and dance about TP. Now mind you my husband was out of town for nearly 3 weeks so it was just me. They said they couldn't reach the main from my clean out, they told me there were other residents tied into my line, that I needed an additional clean out in back yard (which no one in my 75 unit hoa has) and it would need to be jetted. Cost $5400. Plus they said I needed a pipe fixed underneath my floor for $8k. I called the city and several nice men came out and inspected the issue with cameras. They went all the way through my line with no issue and saw no other lines attached. They basically said these guys are trying to take advantage. And even if I needed a clean out installed it should cost no more than 1k. So SHOP around. And the man from the city said, when you don't have back up issues it's a good idea to fill up an upstairs bath tub full of water and drain it. The amount of pressure will clean your line clean all the way to the main. read more
