"I had some backup into the basement, they came to rod it out and told me I needed to check the line going to the street and they could come back for a video check. Well they said they came back and took the video and I needed some expensive work to clear the line. I called to ask them for the video, they said that they'd have someone call me back. They called me back and said that there was no video, their worker didn't put in a USB drive and besides they said I didn't ask for one. What did they expect I was asking for??? I said I expected and wanted a video, how do I know they even really performed the work. They said they would call me back. THEY DIDN'T. I called them back, they again said they'd call me. Again no call. The last time they told me, the owner was on another call but would definitely call me back. One week later NO CALLBACK. I firmly believe they didn't do a video, charged me for one and took me for a sucker. I will NEVER use this company again. I think they are crooks. P.S. Ever since they rodded the drain one of my toilets started have trouble flushing. I won't doubt they messed it up so they could come back again for more money. DO NOT USE. P.P.S. I wonder if they will contact me on this posting, I doubt it."

"Everything than can go wrong, has gone wrong with this company. None of their technicians know how to diagnose issues so their go to is to sell you a new unit. They once told me I needed a new sump pump for 3000 dollars, only for another company tell me I only needed a 250 dollar switch. This is after I had already bought a new furnace from four seasons a year prior. They clearly only care about selling you new equipment. Against my better judgement, I called them to service my AC as it stopped working during 100 degree weather. They tell me I need a new one. They took their time coming out to me during this heatwave and then are unable to install it because the previous technician misdiagnosed the issue. A BRAND NEW UNIT IS NOT WORKING FROM THEM. And they left without finishing the job, I am now sleeping in a near 90 degree house with 2 seniors and a dog that just had surgery. This company is soulless."

FAQs for window a/c unit installation projects in Great Lakes, IL
Running a window air conditioner to cool a small room often costs less than $4 per day, making it cheaper than central air for single-room cooling. However, central air might be more efficient if you're using multiple window units or need to cool a space larger than 1,000 square feet. Choosing the right size AC is crucial—a unit that's too big or small can waste energy and increase costs.
Window AC units can use a significant amount of energy. These units use about 12 to 17 kilowatt-hours per day, significantly more than a refrigerator's one to 1.5 kilowatt-hours per day. To keep your energy costs down, run your window AC only when necessary, keep doors closed to contain the cool air, regularly clean filters and coils, and seal any gaps around the unit to prevent cold air from escaping.
Inexpensive air conditioner units are often not worth it. Low-cost products from popular brands like General Electric, LG, Whirlpool, or Frigidaire may be a reasonable investment. However, putting a small, budget-friendly unit in a large room wastes energy and shortens the life span of the AC since it has to draw more power and work much harder to cool the space. The unit will consume more energy and stress the motor and other internal parts, resulting in early breakdown and costly repairs.
The best deals on window AC units come during the fall when businesses slash prices to clear out old inventory. You can also speak with your local AC installer, who may get you a good deal on a window AC unit since they have access to trade pricing. You can also watch for discontinued products and flash sales in your area.
Window AC repair costs between $110 and $390, with most people paying around $250. Parts cost between $2 and $150, with the rest going toward labor, at around $30 per hour. The occasional one-off repair or a routine AC tuneup cost $75 to $200. Servicing can keep your AC running in good condition for several more years before you need to pay for a replacement unit.
Window AC units last eight to 10 years when installed and maintained correctly. High-quality models last up to 20 years with proper care and routine maintenance. The unit’s longevity depends on its construction quality, regular cleaning, and electrical safety inspections. Keeping the filters and coils clean and addressing minor repairs promptly extends its effective performance and ensures reliable cooling.
