Nick took his time and determined the problem with our furnace.  He was very thorough in his explanation.  He performed the furnace cleaning, checked to make sure the furnace was functioning properly and cleaned everything up.  The bill was for the exact amount quoted over the phone.  The service was professional, friendly, timely and there were no surprises.  We were very satisfied.

"Whole gaggle of people showed up at my home on time and ready to go. Removed the old furnace (1977 circa with a pinch of 1989) and the A/C unit, arranged for its removal and proceed to install a new furnace and a/c unit. They spent the whole day getting it in, wiring, and installing the new thermostat. They cleaned up before they left and wore shoe covering when walking through the house. The project manager Rich came by to check on the progress and everything we talked about when he did an estimate happened with no problems. The crew was efficient and knew what they were doing. Rich said Shavitz did not subcontract and everyone was an employee and trained in their job. They were very professional and friendly. Answered any questions I had and I felt very comfortable using them. I called Shavitz to do a 6-month check on the furnace and the service person showed me how to change the air filter and reviewed how to set the thermostat. I was having problems working the thermostat since it was more complicated then old one and I was not able to control the settings via my smartphone. This turned out to be a systemic issue with the manufacturer and has since been corrected via a software update. So far there has been no further problems."

"Home Comfort Systems did a fantastic job with the replacement of my furnace (and my A/C five years ago). Steve is a highly reputable person and explains things easily for people not in the Heating & A/C industry. He is very straight-forward with his quote and doesn't try to pressure or scare you into purchasing something you do not need. Their 10-year labor warranty is also very impressive, and they stand behind their work. A couple of weeks prior, they were able to take a look at my old furnace right away despite having tons of calls due to the first cold snap of the year. The furnace install only took about three hours and was smooth as can be. The installer took great care in making sure floors were protected when hauling equipment in and out of the house. He also made sure to repair some ductwork that extended off the furnace. My suggestion is to make sure you call Home Comfort Systems if you need service or replacement of your furnace and/or air conditioning."

"Went very well. Nice guys, professional and respectful. Installed top equipment. Not the cheapest price I got, but seemed the most up front and honest. Great customer service when I had a minor adjustment issue a few weeks later."

"You can call there and they will be there. He'll call you back right away. I mean, he accommodates the people that he services. Just overall nice company, nice guy that owns it, reasonable. Did I find other people that were cheaper, yes, but I couldn't find the quality of work, and that is definitely worth paying for. He was there before I could get there."

"The technician Jose, was easy to work with and thoroughly checked and cleaned our systems. He suggested some preventative maintenance actions to make sure our 9 year old furnace and 7 year old AC would last another few seasons. Jose replaced a capacitor and contactor in the nick of time - we sailed through a recent heatwave with our AC running like new! Highly recommend Aire Serv."

FAQs for window a/c unit service or relocation projects in Northbrook, IL

If your window air conditioner is relatively new or of high quality, repairing it can restore optimal performance and protect your investment. However, for older units or those with ongoing issues, it might be more cost-effective to replace the unit to ensure long-term efficiency and reliability. Consider the unit's age, the severity of the problem, repair costs versus replacement, and energy efficiency ratings when making your decision. If repairs cost more than half the price of a new unit, replacement is typically the better option.

Window air conditioners last eight to ten years on average. After this time, you may notice decreased efficiency and component wear. Replacing an older unit can improve energy savings and provide updated features like remote controls and better overall performance. With proper maintenance including regular filter cleaning, coil checks, and professional servicing, you can maximize your unit's lifespan.

If your portable AC isn't cooling, it might have a refrigerant leak or a circuit malfunction that's preventing it from working properly. It's best to contact a local air conditioner contractor to inspect and repair the unit. If your AC is older and repairs don't fix the issue, replacing it might be the most effective solution.

Removing a wall-mounted AC costs $55 to $75. Completing the removal yourself at the end of each summer season, being sure to do so according to proper guidelines, keeps you within this cost range. Should you require professional assistance for removal and disposal, if you can't move the unit yourself, expect an added fee of $25 to $50 to the overall cost.
