Get matched with top air conditioning pros in Des Plaines, IL

"Very well. The tech did a thorough job checking both the furnace and air conditioning unit. He answered any questions we had,"

"Excellent service from my first call to Hope and then Linda who explained in complete detail what would be required to service my air conditioner and the cost. The servicemen, Branden and Jose, were very professional and went over my HVAC unit completely. The only access to the unit’s condenser coil is from the outside which needed to be cleaned/hosed down. I’m in a 3rd floor condo which requires an extension ladder to reach. Most HVAC service will not go any higher than 25 feet but the Shavitz servicemen had no problem reaching my unit which is approximately 35 feet up. Price for the service was a little higher than I expected but I fully understand after observing the work done. I will highly recommend Shavitz to others in my condo building including our building manager and also anyone who is in need of HVAC service. Great service from my initial call thru service completion."

Last year, earlier this year and last week my furnace would short cycle and not put out any heat (furnace is only four years old and is a high efficiency unit.) The problem was the condensation in  air intake pipe was freezing and causing a blockage. Previous technicians from Ralph's heating (installer of unit) had come out twice last heating season and defrosted the pipe.

After evaluating the situation Shawn from Porterhouse heating established that the intake pipe was sucking in the moist air from the outtake pipe and was freezing up. We contacted Ralph's who stated that the freezing was due to the extreme weather and not the positioning of the pipes. The position of the installed pipes didn't follow any of the configurations that were in the installation manual. (which would have kept the air from being sucked into the intake pipe)

Shawn's solution was to cut the pipe inside the basement so that it would take in air from the basement instead of outside. Furnace has been working like a champ.

I am very grateful to Shawn, that he was able to solve the problem.. I called on Thursday 1/8 to make an appt. for routine cleaning. Got the appt for the next day, Friday 1/9. The furnace starting acting up right after I called him and by Friday night the heat wouldn't go over 65. He came out and cleaned the furnace, it was working fine but in the evening it started short cycling and wouldn't come all the way on until the temp was down to 59. I sent a text to Shawn at midnight to let him know what was going on. He called back Saturday morning and came out that morning.

I explained to him about the previous problem with the frozen pipe and when he checked it he found it to be frozen. He gave me two options , cut the pipe inside (regular service charge) or redo the pipes (several hundred dollars). After completing the work he asked me to let him know during the day how things were working and if necessary he would come back on Sunday at no charge if I was still having a problem. Not many technicians would be willing to come out on a Sunday.

"All temp did great job! My air conditioner wasn't working All Temp came out the same day, found and fixed the leak it in about 2 hours."

"Home AC went out when it was 90 degrees outside. BESCO Air came out the next day and Voila! Problem found and fixed. I've used these guys for years for both heating and AC. When other companies don't have the resources to respond promptly, BESCO comes through for me. With them, loyalty still matters."

"Home Comfort Systems replaced my old air conditioner with a new American Standard air conditioner. The day it was going to be installed, one of the owners, Steve, stopped by to look at the old air conditioner, and explain what was going to be done. The installers arrived an hour later, explained to me exactly what they were going to do, and all the specs of the new air conditioner. Roughly 2 hours later, they were finished. They explained the warranty, and cleaned up. The only evidence that they were there was the new air conditioner, no debris left behind. They were very professional, and I would gladly use them again!"

"Our AC unit had stopped working the previous day, so I called a few local companies in the morning.
The only one that answered without going through voicemail was Jon (the owner) at JML.
After explaining our problem he had a few ideas of the cause, so we scheduled a service call for the same day.  He called when he was on his way and arrived on time.
Once here, he checked over the unit and diagnosed the problem.  Fixed everything while he was here and kept the price to the service charge.
Jon also gave some advice on a separate issue with the location and sizing of our return air ducts that would make the system more efficient.

"This business is the company that bought the older Barrington Heating and Air Conditioning. I have relied on Barrington to service my house furnace and A/C for more than 50 years. They have come to my rescue more than once. My service technicians have become friends, not just repair people."
