Description of Work: I have used A Custome Heating over 20 years.Since they got rid of an employee named Keith,I have no complaints. Because of their overall intergrity, I've learned to trust them explicitly. They have a pricing book which they have shown me what my cost is upfront so i know it isn't a made up number. My comfort level is high as I only use them for all my heating and cooling needs as I had numerous problems with companies prior to using them.

Hi [member name removed], thank you for the review. I look through our records and do not see we have ever serviced you. Also we don't do duct cleaning, we have been referring American duct cleaning to our customers for over 10 years. They are out of Northbrook. You may have called us looking for duct cleaning and we referred you to American duct cleaning out of Northbrook. I can't see any records under your address or name. Sometimes this happens when names change due to marriages. Any way I wanted you to know incase you are reviewing the wrong company. There is A Custom Climate which is not us. We are A Custom Heating And Air Conditioning Inc. on Chicago's North West Side. We also don't do duct cleaning. Thanks again for the kind words. Thanks Tom

The work turned out okay. The guys were nice. They came out and were there for two hours or longer; they were very thorough in doing the inspection. I was expecting to get some type of the report with the results. The guy came back a week later with a list of recommendations he had, instead of a report, which is more what I was looking for. The list of recommendations seemed excessive in list of number and expense. For that reason, I decided not to work with them further.
Description of Work: I purchased an Angie’s List big deal for an HVAC inspection.

The team at ACustom were wonderful. They were on-time, personable and honest. After cleaning the furnace unit, they also recommended a few options for better performance and suggested that we actually choose the least expensive option for better air quality - just using a different quality filter. Since following their advice, I see like the rooms that seemed warmer in comparison to others are cooler and more comfortable. I highly recommend then and would use them again if I needed addition service.
Description of Work: We required a tune-up and more advanced duct performance testing. The ACustom team visited us once for the tune-up and we had them come back for the advanced service 10 days later since we were so impressed after the first visit.

The technician who came was prompt and very nice. However, they installed a subpar part in the unit which had to be replaced by another company at a later time. Therefore, the work that A Custom Heating & Air Conditioning did wasn?t helpful. Last april they put in a water heater for me and it has been good, I have had no problems with it.
Description of Work: I hired them to fix my unit.

It was a pleasure to serve these members.Unfortunatley when we got there there were existing problems.The company who installed there furnace installed a larger one than needed.Also the air intake system had a design fault and made the system short cycle,it also hadn't been maintained in years.We evaluated the whole system and gave them the option to fix all the need repairs at once and they declined and only wanted the immediate problem fixed which we did.A week or two later they called us back out one of the other coprimised parts went out which we alerted them to at our earlier visit [kind of like getting a tune up and only replacing the fouled plug].I am sorry they called someone else out to replace a part that we warranty part and labor for one yr.and explained warranty at time of doing the work and is also on the invoice.We install only factory part's and don't make them.If the part malfuntioned or we would have gladly replaced free of charge.My apologies to the member for obviously not comunicating to them better as service, customer service, value and integrity is what A Custom is all about.

We realized our furnace had stopped working at 9:00 pm on the coldest day of the year. I found the company on Angie's List and looked at their website, which promised 24-hour emergency service and touted the fact that they do not use subcontractors. I called their number and spoke to a dispatcher who was very helpful and promised to page a technician right away. I got a call back from technician Mike Kaufmann in about 15-20 minutes. Mike talked me through the issues and asked lots of questions so we could save time and money on the site visit. Because the furnace was safe for the night and Mike could see me at 10:00 am the next day, I decided to pull out the electric blanket and fore go having him come out so late. The only reason I did not hire A Custom is because I decided to use my usual repairman, with whom I had left a voicemail before seeking night time service from A Custom. Based on my experience with A Custom, I would definitely hire them in the future. Estimated cost was $400
Description of Work: The company gave us an estimate for the replacement of a blower motor for a (discontinued) Quatro furnace. While on the phone, technician Mike Kaufmann talked me through the entire process, explained how the furnace worked, and worked with me to diagnose the problem and pick the right replacement part before coming out (so we could save time and money during the on-site repair visit).

The serviceman showed up late (2pm), and physically unable to service the unit. We would NOT recommend this firm to anyone.
Description of Work: We requested service at 4pm on a Friday on a sleeve AC unit. Keith from A Custom was scheduled to perform the service on a Saturday between 9am-12pm.

I am glad to have read this. Their were two problems 1 we don't work on sleeve units. We haven't ever it is it's own line of work and only a few companies i know of work on them. 2nd the tech didn't ask the proper questions to find what type of equipment the customer had to continue her search. Which is our fault and do apologize.

Having used A-Custom in the past, I knew they were reliable. Despite a sudden, early cold snap, with lots of heat emergencies, they scheduled my "routine check-up" with only a couple of days wait. On the day of the appointment, they called ahead to let me know about a delay, and re-scheduled at a convenient time that same day. Tom Peterson was friendly, efficient, knowledgeable and honest. He looked at my ancient boiler and marveled at how much carbon had built up, but cleaned it cheerfully and didn't try to sell me anything. Although he had brought a fairly expensive programmable thermostat, he was willing to install a less expensive one I had purchased. Finally, he inspected and vacuumed my tenant's forced-air system. He answered all of my questions honestly and personable.
Description of Work: Winter check-up and cleaning of boiler, and forced air system plus installation of programmable thermostat.
