We had been having problems with our boiler system and the pressure within it, among other things. After having our system maintenance done early in the autumn, we asked the serviceman for information on having some work done on the system. Joe Pedota at Besco called us that day and came out that afternoon to have a look and tell us what needed to be done. He prepared 2 quotes for work: one in which repiping, relocation, and replacement were done and the other in which the entire boiler was replaced in addition to the other work. We received the quotes within 1-2 days of his visit. Once we decided what we wanted to do, Joe scheduled the work. The professional who came out to do the work was absolutely fantastic. He and his helper were thorough and efficient yet personable, doing the above-mentioned work in just over half the day. He answered any questions we had. He explained, in layman's terms, the work he was doing. Coming and going from truck to house, they were unobtrusive (my office is in the basement and I was working that day). And, to top it all off, we received a handwritten thank-you note from Joe about a week after the work was done. Nice touch...nice to have our business appreciated. Our experience with Besco has been excellent. We will continue to use them for our home's heating needs in the future.
Description of Work: Repiped the boiler. Relocated the existing circulation pump from return to supply side of boiler. Installed isolation valve flanges, new spiral vent air eliminator, new expansion tank, pressure-reducing valve and isolation valves. Also completely bled the system, filled the boiler, and bled air from lines.

It was good. It worked well. It kind of escalated where we need a new furnace but they have been good. They are easy to work with. I didn’t feel like they were trying to take advantage considering my wife’s and my HVAC knowledge.
Description of Work: They did a whole diagnostics and they were here twice since to fix the furnace, and we are replacing it.

The process started with Ed, who created a design plan for the 1st floor and basement level. Several weeks later, Chris and Robert installed the furnance, A.C. and ductwork. Ed, Chris and Robert are easy to work with, professional and the quality of their work is excellent. I highly recommend Besco Air.
Description of Work: Besco installed a Trane 2-stage, variable speed 97% efficient upflow furnance (XV95) with PVC venting to the outside and a Trane 16 SEER A.C. condenser (XB16) with a matching evaporator coil. Besco also installed ductwork throughout the 1st floor and basement level. One main suppply trunk line with 17 supplies and one main return trunk line with 8 returns.

I have a neighbor who works in corporate HVAC and he said Besco performed all the necessary steps to keep the old one alive. When it came time to install the the furnace, the installers came on time and worked as fast as they could. The salesman, Joe was friendly and went through all the options with us. He even came a couple weeks later to see if everything was working ok. Our house has never felt more cozy! Thanks Besco!
Description of Work: Our 20-year-old furnace was failing and it was getting really cold (temps in the teens). Besco came and tried their best to keep the old one running and when they couldn't, they installed a top of the line Trane XV95.

From start to finish, we had a great experience. When shopping for the job, we found highly rated hvac companies on Angies List and after a few phone calls and quotes, we were almost convinced that none of them wanted the business. Then we spoke to Joe at Besco and we didn't want to go anywhere else. He came to our house multiple times to answer questions and walk us through the entire process. We even added an architect after the original quote and Joe worked with him, our contractor, and our electrician to make us feel at ease that we were getting exactly what we needed. Also, while we were waiting to get the job scheduled, Joe had to come to our house twice just to make sure we got the best financing available. Once the crew came to do the work, the process was more difficult than we expected, but we were very happy with the work. They needed to cut into floors and ceilings throughout the building and our contractor gave big complements for how cleanly they did this, which made his job much easier once they left. After they were done, we needed to call a few times for small issues and we are so pleased with the level of responsiveness from the person answering the phone, to Joe (who is still answering our questions), to anyone they send over here. Lastly, after the job, they took care of applying for any rebates which were available and we were so happy to get some money back. We would definitely recommend Besco and plan to use them for our regular service.
Description of Work: Installed forced heat and air conditioning in a 2-flat, including 2 furnaces and 2 condensers. They also installed all ductwork.

I received the offer from Angie's List and immediately searched the company's website to determine service areas. I live in Hyde Park - which is in the middle of the Cook County - so I purchased the deal. A day later, I received a follow-up Email from Angie's asking that I contact Besco to set up the appointment. I telephoned immediately only to be told that MY area is not covered! This is why they deserve a "F". Take Cook County off the listing if it's a lie! My true concern is that, while Angie's took my funds in less than a day, I'm now being told that it will take 7 to 10 business days for someone to even "look" into a refund. THIS is my issue. Besco may have misled me unintentionally, but Angie's is now intentionally holding my funds. I'm not OK with idle funds where there is no possibility that the service will be performed. This is my first order with Angie's List...I'm not impressed.

Response from Besco Air Inc
Hi [member name removed], I understand your frustration with this situation. Cook county is a very big county and ninety five percent of our customers are in there, so for us to eliminate that does not make sense. I wish there was a way for us to let you know in advance that we do not service your area but there is not. I hope you understand and will be able to remove this F from our list as I feel in this situation the F belongs to Angie and not us. I hope everything worked out for you in the end. Jim Cox

Couldn't ask for better service and beat all other firms on price!! Ed did an outstanding job offering what options would be best suitable for my home while exceeding my expectations on service and price. Some of the other HVAC firm quotes I received were ridiculously high for the same equipment and they didn't come close to having the knowledge with heat pump systems. If you want to save a lot of time and money, I'd recommend going with Besco! The technician , Cheech was outstanding! Will use again for my service and maintenance needs moving forward.

HI [member name removed], I am sorry you couldn't use our services and I am sorry for not being able to get to you until December 1st. We are in the busiest time of the year and for clean n checks we can only schedule so many a day to leave openings for people that have no heat. As far as doing more on a clean and check I am not aware of what else you are looking for but a furnace clean n check is exactly that, we check over the furnace and doing a cleaning on it. I hope you can use us in the future. Sincerely Jim Cox

The installation went quickly and and neatly. The persons who came for the installation were friendly and knowledgeable and were happy to answer any questions I had. The furnace to be replaced was located in a closet and was a snug fit, but the installers came in and did the job without any complaints or comments on the difficulty of the space in which they had to work, which I appreciated as the homeowner. We recently used Besco Air again to replace the lower level furnace, and have recommended them to several friends and neighbors.

The process to set-up an appointment was uneventful. The technician arrived on time and quickly diagnosed the problem as a worn out motor. Since I was working, I was unable to attend, but the tenant said the employee was professional and friendly. The technician called and gave me a status on my voice mail. I called back approximately 15 minutes later and was told a new motor was ordered and he would install it the next day (~$575). I never gave approval to order the motor. I thought it seemed quite expensive and wanted to do a little research. I checked it out and it was excessive. A called the technician back in 15 minutes and I told him not to order the motor. He explained that I would be charged for the time it took to order the part. Why should I be charged for the time it took to order something that I never approved? I called the owner and the story changed. I was told that I was being charged for the time the technician waited for me to call him back. I find this very odd since the technician was not waiting around for me to give him approval to start the work since he didn't even have the part! Good thing I called back quickly or this visit could have been incredibly expensive. I hired another service and was charged $350 for the work.

Hi (member name), I'm sorry you feel that way about the service we provided. You were charge dfor the time my service technician was in your home. When you called in for the service call it was explained the service call was $80.00 and then $95.00 per hour there after. When my guy arrived he determined the inducer motor was bad, and when he called you he could not get a hold of you. When you did call back we quoted you the price you told him to wait and you will call him back. He waited for you to call to see if he was going to pick up the part and come back and replace it. He called you again and could not get a hold of you so he did leave. I'm sorry that you feel you should not be charged for the time my guy was at your home. If you would have met my guy at the house I'm sure a lot of this would have been avoided but I am also aware that you are busy so we try to help you in anyway we can. So the time you were charged was the time we were waiting on you. I pay me guys hourly so if they have to wait on you they are on the clock. I hope you can understand the situation. Thank You Jim Cox
