A firm, all-in price confirmed before we start — no surprises.
On time, done to standard, and tidy when we leave.
No-heat calls, short-cycling, blower and igniter failures, and error-code diagnostics on gas and electric furnaces. Most single-part repairs are handled in one visit, and the technician confirms the price before pulling the part.
Full replacement of aging forced-air furnaces, including high-efficiency models sized to your square footage. Load calculation matters in older Chicago bungalows where an oversized unit short-cycles and wastes gas.
Warm-air complaints, refrigerant leaks, failed capacitors, and frozen coils on central cooling systems. Spring scheduling means shorter waits before the July heat peaks.
New central air and condenser installs, including high-SEER systems that cut summer bills. Correct sizing and drainage keep condensate lines from backing up in tight Wicker Park lot lines.
Repair and maintenance for the steam and hot-water boilers common in Chicago's older two-flats and greystones. Radiator systems get bled, tested, and pressure-checked ahead of heating season.
Seasonal tune-ups that catch worn parts before they fail, including fall heating checks and spring cooling checks. A scheduled visit is the cheapest way to avoid a first-freeze emergency call.
Ductless heating and cooling for additions, converted attics, and rooms a central system never reaches. A good fit for older homes where adding ductwork means opening finished walls.
Smart-thermostat installs, wiring corrections, and full system diagnostics when the cause of a heating or cooling problem isn't obvious. The $150 minimum covers the diagnostic visit.
If your furnace runs but heats unevenly or short-cycles, choose a repair and tune-up first, since a single failed igniter or flame sensor is often a sub-$300 fix. If the unit is 15-plus years old, needs a heat exchanger, and your bills keep climbing, choose replacement, because the repair cost starts approaching the value of a new high-efficiency system. If you own an older Chicago two-flat or greystone with radiators, a boiler service or replacement fits better than a forced-air swap, since tearing in ductwork means opening plaster walls. The trade-off is simple: repair costs less today but buys less time, while replacement costs more upfront and lowers monthly bills for a decade or more. For a summer cooling decision, a repair fits a system under 10 years old with good refrigerant history, while a new high-SEER install fits a home where the compressor has already failed once.

Chicago's housing stock runs old, and that shapes every HVAC call — the brick bungalows around Portage Park and the greystones near Logan Square and The 606 often still run radiator boilers, while newer condos near Lincoln Park and Wicker Park lean on forced air. Lake-effect cold and polar-vortex events push no-heat calls to their peak during the first hard freeze, so a fall tune-up is worth more here than in milder climates. Tight lot lines in Pilsen and Bridgeport also mean condenser placement and condensate drainage get planned carefully, not guessed.
Neighborhoods we cover: Logan Square, Lincoln Park, Wicker Park, Bridgeport, Hyde Park, Rogers Park, Pilsen, Beverly, Albany Park, Portage Park.
Yes. Same-day and after-hours emergency service is available across Chicago and the near suburbs for no-heat and no-cool calls, with priority given to lost heat during freezing weather. Call (773) 690-6234 and a live person will schedule the visit.
The on-site minimum is $150, which covers the diagnostic visit and a single-item check. The technician confirms the exact price on-site before starting any repair, so there are no surprise charges after the fact.
Repair fits a furnace under about 15 years old that needs a single part like an igniter or flame sensor. Replacement makes more sense once the unit is older, needs a heat exchanger, or your gas bills keep climbing — a new high-efficiency system lowers monthly costs for years.
Schedule furnace tune-ups in September or October to beat the first-freeze rush, and book central AC work in spring before the June-through-August cooling peak. Off-peak scheduling usually means shorter wait times and easier appointment slots.
Yes. Steam and hot-water boiler repair and service are common in Chicago's older two-flats and greystones, and radiators can be bled, tested, and pressure-checked before heating season. This fits homes near Logan Square, Beverly, and Hyde Park where forced air was never installed.
