We decided to go with TRG after getting a few quotes for AC ( unico system) because we felt that they would provide the overall best strategy for the house in conjunction with safety and dust precautions they take. The team at TRG was easy to work with and available to answer any questions throughout the whole process. I feel positive about having Will and his team help us navigate our cooling and heat maintenance as well. read more

Seem to be a lot of 5 star reviews.....if you can get them. I made an appointment for an estimate for 2 new furnaces & 2 air conditioners. I'm rather close to the Skokie office. They no showed for the appointment. Called later on & apologized and asked to reschedule. Sure. Will came out & seemed competent. Said he'd be in touch with an estimate. It's been 2 MONTHS now. Crickets. Another company took the job & work was fabulous. This company is way too disorganized unfortunately. read more

TRG Heating & Cooling - Left his card. - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Our furnace was having issues on a cold Saturday morning . Will, and his stellar team at TRG jumped into action and helped solve the problem. Victor was able to quickly diagnose what was going wrong with our furnace, and he fixed the furnace within 15 minutes. He is phenomenal! My wife and I highly recommend TRG read more

I was scared when my air conditioner stopped working, because it's medically necessary for me to have cool air all year round. My old AC and furnace were 20 years old and I decided to replace both because that made the best financial sense. There are SO many HVAC companies. SO MANY! I went to Yelp and sorted by ratings while looking for companies that were not too far away from where I lived. Despite TRG Heating and Cooling not having a very descriptive name, their reviews were very high and all of the comments were just intensely enthusiastic (kinda like this one is!). I'm immunocompromised, and before I could finish telling Will will that I would need him and any of his staff to wear a respirator while in my home, he said that he had one with him him and that they're familiar with precautions for immunocompromised clients. Most of my healthcare providers fail in this area, but this HVAC company knows what to do? He did a few measurements, and then checked out my compressor on the roof, and then he chatted with me for longer than I thought we might. The first quote I received made it clear that he was listening to me about what I needed for my home. After a 30-40 minute phone call, Will drafted a second quote that was almost perfect. I asked for one change, and then they installed a furnace, hear pump, and some accessories a few days later. You can see the new compressor on the roof in one picture, and the other two pictures are the before and after for my HVAC closet. Will and his team made everything so easy for me, including registering all the products for me. I hope I don't need to leave my home before the next 20 years, but if I do and I need a new system, I'll be letting Will at TRG Heating & Cooling know! read more

See all

Thank you so much to Angel and Gio on the TRG team who came to our house in Evanston to fix our AC - just in time before the next heatwave! Not only were they dedicated to determining the problem, staying until 9:00 pm on a Friday night, they were both incredibly courteous and considerate. Will with TRG had given us recommendations on a renovation project a few years ago, and has always been ready to share his expert advice. We highly recommend these guys - they are the best for heating and cooling, and work hand-in-hand with other contractors to get the electrical and drywall work completed as well. Communication is excellent, and text notices about the tech, their name and photo, and arrival time are all hugely helpful. Thank you!! read more

Will came out 2 weeks ago for an estimate on a small furnace and AC condenser replacement. Super friendly, knowledgeable, and on time. I was impressed with his demeanor and easy communication style. We went through the diagnosis and all seemed on track for an estimate. Two weeks later and after a couple of attempts to get an estimate, I still have not received one, email/text/or mail. So, I cannot attest to the quality of the product or installation, but I am disappointed that for some reason the estimate was never produced. Bummer. EDIT 09/10/24: Will reached out to me yesterday and resolved the issue and I have received the estimate from TRG. Thanks, Will! read more

I have been using TRG for all my HVAC usage issues for some years now and after using other HVAC service companies TRG stands out as the most competent, most efficient, most fair priced company I have ever dealt with. They keep their appointments, explain all issues and answer all questions clearly. Highly rec commended. read more

I had a recent boiler emergency and only needed to make one call to Will at TRG to get immediate attention and service. I appreciated that Will himself came out to check the work his men did and made sure I was completely informed about what was done. I highly recommend TRG as an excellent HVAC company! read more

TRG recently replaced my furnace and air conditioner and they were great from start to finish. Will is so knowledgeable and friendly and was incredibly patient with my protracted decision making timeline. He answered all of my questions and concerns quickly but was also patient in letting me come to a decision. Gio, Victor and Rocky did a great job on the install and worked well into the evening on the first day after running into a few unexpected issues. They were very respectful of my home and I appreciate the care they took with the job. I'm so glad a neighbor referred me to TRG. I would wholeheartedly recommend them. read more

We hired TRG to install a new heat pump and furnace for our house. The existing furnace and condensing unit were 25+ years old and beyond end of life. We wanted a new heat pump system to replace the old equipment. Will and his team were fantastic to work with and very professional throughout the process. Will was very knowledgeable, helpful, and responsive when reviewing different efficiency options. The pricing was very reasonable relative to other proposals and TRG helped with rebates to make it even more affordable. Once we moved forward with the project, Will and his team did a great job on the install. They were on time, friendly, and professional and the installation was very neat. The system has been up and running for about 6 months and we've been very happy with the results. I recommend TRG for all of your HVAC needs! read more

They replaced our furnace and we couldn't be happier! Professional, friendly, and knowledgeable - it was a great experience from start to finish. George, Gio, and Jr were great onsite technicians and they got the job done quickly. Definitely would recommend this company. read more

I will never go with another company other than TRG. They have always promptly respond to our requests, sent over a tech quickly, thoroughly explained things, and have always treated us with respect. Our AC needed service 5 days after I gave birth to our baby and Will himself came out about an hour after our inquiry, and this was during their off hours! If you're looking for a company to provide you service, you would be silly to look elsewhere! read more

I live out of state and recently had to help my mom in Evanston with her furnace issue. I searched and found TRG. Told them the situation. I was able to help my mom remotely with getting her heat again. TRG was very helpful and accommodating on getting things repaired. I now also have her signed up for a maintenance plan with them. Definitely recommend this company! read more

Highly highly recommend Will and TRG! Will found a perfect solution to meet our AC needs without having to remove our landscaping (while other big box sellers said that wasn't possible). We loved every step of the process, from Will coming over a couple of times to inspect our house and determine our needs, preparing a quote with good/better/best options, unbelievably responsive to countless questions to help decide which option was best for us, easy scheduling, hard working and friendly installers who provided online updates during every step of the installation process, and confidence knowing that TRG's maintenance plan would continue to ensure that our equipment was properly serviced and maintained for years to come. Will is extremely trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely cares about the customer (and not just a sale), unlike many other HVAC salesmen. We're beyond glad that we joined the TRG family - I know we're in good hands for all of our HVAC needs! read more

Really great service. They were able to fit me in same day to check on my AC as Chicagoland was heating up and sadly so was my house. Very prompt, professional and witty. Offered very practical solutions for my situation and budget (in middle of kitchen remodel and had AC issues ) Will definitely call next summer when ready to replace. Thank you to Will & Craig! read more

TRG was so responsive. Fixed my AC fast. Their experience showed and really nice people too.

I have hired The Rayes Group to replaced my existing thermostat. They are the only one company to contacted me on my request for quote. None of other companies from Angie's list did not even consider giving me a quote. -Communications with Will from TRG was beyond exceptional. -Showed up on time introduce himself, very professional and friendly -Spend extra time with installation of Ecobee thermostat, which was not an easy installation replacing and old Honeywell unit. -Help with set up and programming new unit and setting up an iPhone application. -Offer to set up an appointment for spring time to see how the thermostat would work with air-condition. Was so pleasantly surprised and happy the way this project was handled, thank you! read more

TRG Heating & Cooling - My new Ecobee - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Skokie, Illinois

Will and Oscar are so helpful and responsive they are truly trying to help you with your home issue and not try to put you in a tough spot. Will was able to help me trouble shoot my furnace issues over the phone then he got Oscar to my house within a few hours even though it was late Saturday. I was able to understand the problem and fix the issue myself but without the TRG team I could not have done it. Thanks a bunch! read more

I can't say enough good things about Will and his team. I live in Highland Park and was in immediate need of help when my furnace stopped working on one of the coldest nights of the year. Will came out within a couple hours and had the heat working again in no time. He and his team treated me with respect and professionalism. I use their services for all of my heating and air needs! read more

Will and his team did a great job servicing our heating system. Knowledgeable, friendly, and professional. I've known Will for a long time... the best. Signed up for their service agreement. read more

We hired TRG to install a new heat pump and from start to finish, Will and company were complete pros! Great communication, competitive pricing and I'm totally satisfied. It was a great experience - would recommend TRG for your next HVAC project. read more

Will was so kind and helpful! I recently got a home inspection and was looking for quotes on the price of a new HVAC humidifier. He was quick and responsive and help me out tremendously. I received a response and quote in a little over an hour. Very convenient and clearly running a wonderful business! If you need work done, I highly suggest reaching out to The Rayes Group! Thank you again, Christine read more

Will and his guys are MY SECRET WEAPON!!!!! Cannot recommend them highly enough!!! My wife and I bought a 100 year-old house in the North Shore burbs that had been rented for many years and was a bit neglected. The HVAC was buggy, as the previous owners had installed inferior gear and really hadn't looked after it. Will and his guys got a heat exchanger running beautifully with an ingenious, economical fix that saved me thousands!!! And they pulled it off in very short order in the height of their busy season! More recently, as the winter months approached, will and his team addressed a number of issues with my boiler/radiators, and earlier this week prepped two gas jets serving my fireplaces for renovation. Will is a now a trusted contractor, has a key to my house, and has all of the systems running like a top. He and his team are very, VERY good at what they do and extremely dedicated. Great client services orientation. Great results every time at the best price you will get. A+++ read more

Will & his team are the best!! We contacted TRG Heating to service our HVAC units, and they came out the very next day! The guys were friendly, knowledgeable and professional, and the job was completed in a timely manner. I highly recommend TRG! Give them a call, you won't regret it! read more

I used The Rayes Group (TRG) for the first time last week, and man I was blown away. Their communication was amazing, they showed up on time and left my spaces the way they found them. They also gave me the full story on anything that needed to be done, and didn't talk down to me when answering my numerous questions about what they were doing. I will definitely be calling them again, great experience!!! read more

The team at TRG are very professional, timely and efficient. They took all safety precautions regarding Covid which made my family feel very comfortable. We have used TRG to replace a water heater and an HVAC unit. We also use them for our HVAC maintenance. Each time they come to our house, they complete the work in a timely manner and clean up any mess. When removing our old water heater, the metal edge ripped our thread hold weatherstripping. They informed me that it happened and promptly returned with a new strip and installed it. I was very impressed! I would highly recommend TRG. read more

This review was in no way requested. In fact, I'm writing about service we had 7 months ago. In fall, TRG performs an annual preventive maintenance visit to service our aged heating system and PTAC HVAC unit. The inspection was careful and thorough, potential problems were explained and demonstrated, and recommendations were provided in language I could understand. TRG's charge was very reasonable. Our Chicago 2023-4 winter brought the usual polar vortexes, with long spells of subfreezing - even subzero - weather and storms that made driving treacherous. I prayed every day that the heating system was up to the challenge and worried about the freezing pipes that could result, if it failed. Thanks to TRG, there was no reason for concern. It is chugging along. As one who consults and appreciates honest business reviews, I would like others to know that TRG is a quality, trustworthy and dependable HVAC service provider. read more

I hadn't serviced my 2 HVAC units in a couple of years. Will at TRG, scheduled his guys the next day! Jorge and Junior were great. On time and I didn't even have to ask them to put shoe coverings on when they came into my house. They were very professional and serviced and cleaned both my units. Gave me pointers on how to prolong the life of the units and got me scheduled for my annual service. read more

How do I give more than 5 stars?? Craig and Will were super professional and friendly! We started with a quick phone call and i messaged over some photos of the issue. They came by the next day super prepared and explained everything they were doing in layman's terms. The work was done quickly, precisely and within budget. I would highly recommend them for your home project. In addition, they had their masks on the whole time, and put on booties to enter the space. They were also dog friendly and watched out that she didn't run out as they made their way in and out of the house. I will definitely we hiring them again, and recommending them to everyone I know :D read more

You will not have any regrets having Will and his team take care of your HVAC needs. We decided to do a number of upgrades and necessary fixes, including a brand new furnace in our attic, improvements to ductwork, etc. Will and his team diagnosed several issues in our home that we had been stumped on. Someone had installed a dryer in our home in a manner that was not safe; Will and Manny rerouted everything and made it safe, efficient, and so much better. The new furnace was an investment; so we were so happy that everything was explained to such a good level of detail, with multiple levels of product to accommodate various budgets. We are so happy that we sprung for a higher grade model which is high-efficiency and has dramatically improved our quality of life in our home for heating and cooling. I cannot say enough good things. This team is super trustworthy, top results, and someone I recommend without hesitation. Thank you! A+! read more

I was very impressed with how professional, efficient, and polite your technician Craig was, and how fast he got the job done. He did an outstanding job. Thank you ! read more

Will and the entire TRG team are awesome and have been so great to work with. They're always responsive, on time and thorough in their work. Will is great about explaining exactly what the issue is when something is wrong and also generous with his time when explaining the best ways to care for and maintain your HVAC systems. I highly recommend TRG! read more

Will @ TRG was absolutely fantastic. Our AC went out in the middle of the hottest week we had this summer, and despite all of the techs being booked, Will made time to come out at the end of his work day. He was able to breathe some life into our old unit & get us back up and running in short order. He was incredibly courteous & informative, and could not have been more prompt nor generous with his time, even though he was clearly working overtime to get us cool again. The part he needed wasn't on the truck, but he was back the next day with it, and gave me some great pointers on how & when to maintain my system to get a few more years out of it. We have tried working with other HVAC outfits in the area that specialized in 'vintage' homes and have had lackluster experiences, but in TRG we have now found our go-to HVAC family! read more

Great and quick service from Will and team. He did a very thorough job on cleaning our HVAC system and replacing the filters. Will offered helpful solutions, providing thorough reports and pictures. We couldn't have been more pleased with the service! read more

Will was phenomenal in helping my parents with diagnosing and resolving their HVAC issues. He was able to quickly assess their AC was poorly wired (done by former HVAC company) and rewired and tested in a few hours. I found Will thru Houzz and he was very responsive and was the first one to respond to my contractor inquiry that same night. I recommend Will and the entire TRG team for all HVAC inquiries and/or repairs! Lastly, he treated my parents with respect and was very detailed in explaining the rewiring process, whilst answering all of their questions. read more

During the hottest part of the summer this year our outside A/C unit stopped working. We had another 3-4 days of 90+ weather in the forecast. We called 3 different companies and no one was able to come out for at least a week.Finally, we did what we should have done first. We called TRG and they came out the next day and quickly diagnosed the issue. They were very straight forward with their assessment and gave us some hard truths that we needed to hear. TRG gave us our options, and within 48 hours we had cold air pumping through our home. After having our options carefully explained to us, we opted to replace our entire A/C unit inside and outside. In the long run, we know that we made the best decision because TRG explained the savings that would occur with the choice that we made. TRG's technicians and engineers were very thorough and they provided us with all the information and details that we needed to know for us to get the most out of our new A/C system. Our heating unit has got some years behind it, but we are not worried because TRG will come through once again. If you're in a bind, or you are looking to be proactive, we highly recommend you give them a call for anything related to HVAC! Thank you, TRG!!! read more

Great service. I called regarding an air conditioning repair and got a callback within minutes and service later that day. Will, one of the owners, came out to assess my air conditioning and was able to get things up and running. He was extremely polite and throughly explained my options and the steps he was taking to repair my unit. Would definitely recommend!! read more

Will and his team came highly recommended and did an excellent job for us replacing one straightforward forced air heating system, and also replacing a 60+ year-old boiler and hot water tank. We made the big change to install a high efficiency combi unit. This was a challenge, but it was successfully installed, and all little issues resolved promptly. The team were a pleasure to work with. They were efficient, neat, and prompt. read more

TRG totally ROCKS!! Every interaction with Will and the team is incredibly professional, responses are quick, and the whole crew is super knowlegable. I cannot recommend these heat & cooling pros enough! read more

A+ in all respects. TRG replaced a furnace, AC and two hot water tanks in our home. Will spent significant time going over options and explaining things and was a pleasure to work with.. TRG's price was very competitive, the work was done on schedule . . . and quickly because the project was fully staffed. The professionalism of the entire crew was outstanding. read more
