I had both Costco and 4 Seasons come out to give me quotes before meeting with Shaun, LCM’S hands-on owner. I was impressed with his straight forward, honest approach, and he gave me a quote under the previous 2. They finished the installation last week, and I’m very pleased with the work, his people and the entire transaction. And I’m glad to have been able to keep it local. I feel like, if I ever need work done on a January night, I can count on these guys.
Description of Work: We had LCM replace our 27 year old furnace and AC with new Lennox equipment.

Service tech was nice and professional but not knowledgable to troubleshoot and repair this boiler system. I don't think he had tech support from his office so he couldn't diagnose the problem and his only solution was to begin to replace parts, starting at over $300 for one part. My husband replaced this part for $89, and it wasn't the problem. We were told we wouldn't be charged a service call, only 30 minutes. Tech went to his truck and talked with his office (I assume) for about 15-20 minutes and came back in and said he'd have to charge us for 45 minutes, even though 15-20 minutes he was talking to his office. This cost was more than a service call. We've paid a few hundred dollars to this company who couldn't locate the problem. When requested that the person who was very familiar and installed the system get involved, the answer was he wasn't available. We will never use this company again.
Description of Work: Not much. Have hot water boiler system which the merged company, Rick Keuhn installed in 2004. Heat was intermittent and we had to reset the system frequently each day to have heat. Had one service call and tapping pipes, lowering the boiler heat, but never tested any component. Tech thought it may be a calcification build up, but couldn't clean until Spring. He hoped what he did (which was nothing) would correct our lack of heat. Called back, explained that we still had intermittent heat. Same tech returned, confused as to cause, read manual but said it was too late to call tech support at manufacturer. No solution, suggested he start replacing parts until we found the problem, which I felt was pretty unacceptable.

Mrs. [Member Name Removed] we wanted to come back to follow up the next day, but you had a doctors appointment, and we haven't heard back from you. Unfortunately tech support was not available as this was an after hours call. We would like to get your issue resolved. I can have someone call you if you would like. Thank you, Shaun

Room addition had very old electric baseboard heating plus a window unit air conditioner. The Mitsubishi system seemed an energy efficient way to consolidate heating and cooling.They had to run a 220 power line before installing the wall unit which added to the cost. They vacuumed up all the dust and debris and explained both the interior and exterior units. All the workers were very nice and spent time showing me how to make different adjustments to control the heat.

Lake County Mechanical was great!!! Shaun answered my email request for a quote immediately. We spoke on the phone and set up an appointment to get a whole house humidifier installed. The process went exactly as planned and was very quick. From start to finish the install took an hour and 10 minutes. The technician was very professional and very knowledgeable. The air quality in my home has noticeably improved as a result of this humidifier and I am happy with my decision to hire L.C.M. Thanks guys!

They were very good. They did a superb job. They did a nice clean job. There were a few things they forgot to patch up. I called them right away and they were out here immediately fixing it. It was very good work. Their prices are great. He seemed like a down to earth person. He wasn't trying to pull something out of me.

Shaun the owner and his helper did a great job on cleaning the vents. They were professional and spent 2 1/2 hrs on the job. They did not track in any snow or ice into the house and explained everything they were doing. They were a little late but they called and advised us way before hand and as it was a no heat emergency at another home we did not mind. And they let us know exactly when they would arrive. I would use them for this service and more.

Shaun and team did the original install in 2012 and I've had them back for seasonal cleanings as well. Great value and the work was done professionally, explaining everything along the way. We had a high efficiency Trane heater along with matching Trane A/C installed to replace our 20+ year old unit. Shaun helped me choose the right unit and not overbuy capacity, which is a common problem with some HVAC contractors. We did run into a few issue with our house along the way and Shaun and team were quick to accommodate and explain our options for additional return capacity. I also asked them to help with improving a couple vents in our basement and they happily accommodated. They even came back to install a wireless thermostat I had ordered separately after the initial install. All in all, I would definitely use them again and highly recommend LCM to family, friends, and neighbors.

I contacted Lake County Mechanical after hearing about the ComEd and Nicor Home Efficiency Program. I had them come out for a quote and eventually went with them. They communicated very well throughout the whole process and the installation was fairly painless. All the workers were courteous and friendly and cleaned up after they were finished. In addition, they fixed some of the duct work around the furnace and made sure everything was running smoothly. I would not hesitate to contact these guys again in the future.

The gentleman was very courteous, HONEST and very helpful in explaining in detail what was needed to get things up and running correctly. I will definitely refer Lake County Mechanical to friends. He did an excellent job which is very rare nowadays!!! Thank you Angie's List.
Description of Work: First he pulled out the filter which could be causing the heating problem cause it was dirty. He suggested to purchase about six of them and to replace them very month which I normally due but as of course with holidays and it completely slipped my mind. I use the pleated filters versus the cheaper brands but I did ask him what the difference between the two were which he explained to me. He then brought me over to the other side of the furnace and explained about the flap within the furnace that needed to click 3 times and it wasn't (which he stated it may be due to the dirty filter & it turned out it was). I also had water on the floor due to the built in humidifier and he said he'd take a look at it. When he opened it, oh my lord, was it dirty. He is going to return tomorrow to replace the furnace filter along with humidifier filter.

Afer being away from home for several days. we found the home was at 46 degrees even tho the thermostat was set to 71. The repairman was out within the hour and found the problem with the ignitor within a half hour. Unfortunately the universal ignitor he had on his truck did not work because my furnace is a Lennox. He also cleaned my furnace burners for better performance. He contacted his supplier who sold the last two Lennox ignitor's yesterday. The part was backordered and repairman was here by 10 AM this morning with the exact part. I had a functioning furnace within 15 minutes. To keep us warm overnight, he manually lit the furnace which stayed on all night. He went out of his way to get the problem resolved ASAP.
Description of Work: Diagnosed furnace problem quickly, cleaned the furnace burners, and replaced ignitor quickly.

The initial price that they quoted was what they stuck to, so they didn't try to have any hidden fees or inflated charge afterwards. They were very neat and tidy. They let us go ahead and see the results and what they were able to filter out. They were very polite, courteous, and timely.
