El Boes was punctual, patient, and professional throughout the entire process, and it was really great to find a qualified furnace repair man who worked on the south side of Chicago and south suburbs.
Description of Work: El Boes came in initially to repair a faulty heater. Once he got into the work however, we discovered that many parts had to be replaced before the furnace could function properly. We almost bought a new furnace from the start, but El Boes convinced us to try repairing parts individually before buying a whole new furnace. It turns out all the parts we had to replace almost equaled buying a new furnace, but none of us this at the time. It wasn't El Boes' faulty diagnosis, it was that the furnace was submerged in water for awhile which caused the damage.

He went the extra mile on our project. Tenant called a few days after he installed the new thermostat saying that the heat still was not working. He went over to the property immediately. When he discovered that the tenant simply did not know how to work the new thermostat, he simply showed her how and did not charge for the added inconveience. It's this kind of integrity which will cause us to definitely work with him again.
Description of Work: Heat went out at our rental property. Called El Boes he came out to the property a couple of hours later. He determined that the issue was that the thermostat needed to be replaced. He had a new thermostat with him and proceeded to install it. The price was fair and the responsiveness was great!

Excellent. I called at 10am, and after letting me know he would be there in the afternoon, he arrived at 2pm. He not only fixed the problem but also cleaned the heating unit. This only cost us $60, which i thought was a bargain, as we had a little girl, and this was one of the coldest nights since 7 months ago. So we needed the help, and he did it, within an hour.
Description of Work: Our heat went out, such that the fan was running, but only blew out cold air. He was able to fix that, and then cleaned the unit.

In my opinion the job went extremely well. It was explained to me in detail what needed to be done and how he would accomplish this. A small area in one wall needed to be cut to install a return and the supply in another room was expanded. Work was performed neatly, completed in a timely manner; the technician cleaned behind himself and even took the garbage with him.
Description of Work: A return needed to be added in one area of my home and the supply in one room needed to be increasd.

We called in the morning and needed the service done the same day because we were leaving town for our wedding the next day. He arrived on time (at noon), and was very respectful and professional. It turned out that we had a broken motor. He went to purchase a replacement right away and had it installed by 2pm. Also, he actually asked for our permission to contact us next year for maintenance (instead of assuming it was OK to solicit future service ).
Description of Work: Fixed a broken motor and performed maintenance.

Our AC went down. Going to the big guys we could only get an appointment in 4 days; I needed something quicker. Called Elikai at 9am, he was around at 11am! Arrived all geared up including knee pads to crawl into our small lofted furnace area (he's a slim and fairly short guy, a requirement for the job!). Our fans were not running because the coolant pressure was low. He identified the problem and charged the unit with extra coolant. Elikai will return in a couple of days once the unit has fully thawed to fine tune the pressure. He is a nice guy, though he sounds a little blunt and gruff over the phone. Efficient worker and certainly cheap. A service fee of $60 applies in all cases. He was here for 45 minutes plus he will drop in at no charge for a follow up. I'll be using him again. Says he has 10 years experience.
Description of Work: AC unit checked and coolant recharged with a follow up visit at no extra cost.

They were here a day and a half. They charged very reasonable prices and we had no complaints. They were excellent. They were respectful of our home. They did exactly what they said they would do in the time frame promised. They really did a fine job, it was such a pleasure to work with someone who really knew what he was doing.
Description of Work: They came in and went through the radiators on my home and had to do some rather extensive repairs. There were some leaky valves and missing bleaders. They inspected the system and brought it to first rate working order
