"Our furnace went out the afternoon before Thanksgiving day, we called another repair place and made an appointment for Friday, they never showed up and were not returning calls. So we started calling around and got hold of Carlson's. They came over within half an hour and diagnosed the problem. The circuit board wasn't available until Monday but they had it up and running then and were reasonably priced. We will call them next time our furnace needs any repairs."

"Mr. Ferrell first connected his computer to my computer via internet and worked for quite a few hours trying to determine what exactly was wrong. The next day he continued working from his computer for several hours. He determined he would have to have my desktop tower to complete the repair. He and my son met in Huntsville to exchange the tower. He then cleaned up a lot of what was wrong and reloaded Windows 10. He deleted the D: drive which had way too much memory allotted to it. The tower was returned and I plugged it all back together and it is working better than it did when I first purchased it. I would use him again and I recommend him highly to anyone needing computer updating and/or repair. His work is warrantied and he is very personable, knowledgeable, and helpful."

Initially things went well. A/C was not working so we called Harker.  Nice guy came out to check what we had and convinced us to replace furnace as well as the A/C.  Installation was prompt and went well.  So far, so good.  Three weeks later, on a hot Sunday, the A/C stopped working.  I called and was told there was nothing they could do on the weekend, but they'd come right away on Monday.  After we had a hot, sleepless night, someone did come on Monday and "fixed" the A/C.  He left no paperwork or info about what he did, but the A/C worked so we didn't care.  The next Sunday, hot and more humid that the last, the A/C again stopped working.  I called and the on-call guy (Jordan?) came out even though it was Sunday, since we had already gone through a "repair" that didn't last.  He found the unit couldn't be repaired and would have to be replaced.  So again, no A/C.  But he said we would be on the priority list on Monday to get the unit replaced.  On Monday we got a call from Harker saying they needed to order the part and it would take 7-10 days! They said they cannot replace the unit from inventory since Carrier will not cover that under warranty.  The replacement had to be ordered from the factory, and the factory would not ship for about 5 days.  And neither Carrier nor Harker was willing to pay for fast shipping.  So another week or more without A/C.  But that's not Carrier's problem and it's not Harker's problem, it's OUR problem.  The measure of quality and service is best shown when something goes wrong, and both Harker and Carrier come up very short on both quality and service. 

Update---after I posted the very negative review above, the very next day I got a call from Harker saying they would install a new replacement unit the next day.  And they did.  And it's been working well since.  So everything is good now. Thank you Angies List.  Nothing else was working, but a negative review here got their attention.  Too bad my original concerns were not addressed until I resorted to a public negative review.

"Ace Handyman Services Chicagoland did a fantastic job for me. I have them remove 2 gas, ventless fireplaces, and build a wall with a door. They also repaired and painted the walls behind fireplaces. The work was great, they got it done with in the budget, and completed the work on time. Very nice job and I strongly recommend going with Ace Handyman. Chicagoland. I'll certainly use them again for future work."

"The young lady that I spoke to (twice) was very pleasant. I TOLD her it was a very small job and if they were too busy, perhaps they could recommend a handy man or someone who specializes in "little" jobs. She assured me that someone would come out and take a look. NEVER happened, no phone call. Very disappointing."

"CHW was very responsive to our urgent need! We filed a claim the evening prior when we notices our A/C was blowing warm air into the rooms. Then by 8AM the next day, we had a call from the service technician saying he was on his way to address the issue! CHW worked with the technician to find out the compressor was the culprit and approved it's repair! Great customer service for a family in need during the hot south central Texas summer!"

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Shirland, IL

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
