I needed a new furnace, and that's what I got. The only thing is I kinda wish I didn't allow my ladder to be used. It's an extension ladder, and now it seems to be slightly bent and will not completely close. But furnace works great at least!

The service was great. They actually returned my call the same day. We setup an appointment. The guy who came out was Mike Garcia, he was very courteous, knowledgeable and had great customer service. He did not try to overcharge me for unnecessary repair. I would greatly recommend him. I would definitely use him again.

I got 3 estimates for replacing my old air conditioner with a new one. Reeder explained that Carrier owns several different brands but that all of the brands under the Carrier umbrella are basically the same quality. Some of the lesser known Carrier brands are cheaper, and I went with one of the lesser known brands. New AC was installed in late April. We are now in the midst of a heat wave and the new AC (Bryant) is working great!

I received a response that they wanted to charge $25 for every 15 minutes they were onsite in addition to the one-time charge of $90. I told them I would get another company since Iβve never heard of this type of charge. Another company came out and the issue was due to a dirty furnace which means they did not clean this when the did the maintenance in October. I have maintenance done every year and change filters monthly so Iβve asked them to credit me for the maintenance in this unit and they are coming back to check and redo the work on the other 2 units.
Description of Work: I had them put to do a furnace maintenance before winter in October for 3 furnaces. Had issues with one furnace on 1/27. I contacted them to see if they could check the furnace since it was not heating higher than 66 degrees.

I am sorry you feel this way. We have been trying to settle this with you, please see attached conversation, and let us know if you will be available March 1st. Thank you. copy of conversation: [Member Name Removed] This is the beginning of your conversation Wednesday, Sep 19, 2018 I'm interested in your AC and Furnace tuneup deal. I have a 3 unit rental property and I'm looking for each unit to be maintenance. Can I apply this deal. I'm also looking for a company that can Service annually and make repairs when needed. Call me at [Member Information Removed] 5:33 AM someone will call you as soon as office opens at 8 am 7:03 AM Thursday, Sep 20, 2018 I forgot what day you will be doing the service. I think it was 10/19 from 10am-2pm. Can you confirm? Thanks! 8:29 AM that is correct 10/19 between 10 & 2 8:50 AM Wednesday, Oct 3, 2018 I need to reschedule since I have to be in the office for a meeting? Are you available to do the 3 units at [Member Information Removed] on 10/26? 5:02 PM Thursday, Oct 4, 2018 Yes tht would be fine. 12:11 PM Would it be the same window or do you have an earlier time slot? 12:15 PM 10 to 2 would be the earliest 12:27 PM Ok, thanks! I've updated my calendar for 10/26 1:02 PM thank you 1:12 PM Sunday, Jan 27, 2019 My Tenant's furnace is going any higher than 69 degrees. I was wondering if you can check it out since it has maintenance in October. 10:29 PM Monday, Jan 28, 2019 Would anyone be available tomorrow either between 8 & 12 10 & 2 or 1 & 5. It is $89.95 to come out and $25.00 every 15 minutes. Have they tried changing the filters also, they are supposed to be changed monthly? Angies list people get 10% off also. 4:43 AM Yes the filters are changed monthly, I change them. I need someone out there today so will contact another firm since the other companies that I use do not charge the $25 fee for every $15 minutes. 4:46 AM I'm getting another firm since I can't wait until tomorrow. Thank you. 5:09 AM I am sorry--We are trying to get the complete no heats first--Would you like me to put you on a list for today I can not promise today but can call before hand. It is up to you. Getting around today is gonna be rough and some customers have been reporting 40's and 50's in their homes. We have to get to them before their homes freeze. Thank you and I will do my best but cannot guarantee this if you would like this option. 5:24 AM Thanks, I am getting someone else. I understand. 5:25 AM I just got the furnace fixed and was surprised that the issues were related to dirty ignitor, sensor and burners. I'm questioning what was done when the maintenance was done in October and why this wasn't mentioned. The whole purpose of having maintenance is to check these things even the work is not covered under the maintenance visit. I've provided the work that was done. I'd like to have an explanation since I don't think the maintenance was done. At a minimum, the ignitor and sensor should have been cleaned. furnace was working but not keeping up with set point. Indoor temp is at 67F and set point is 72F. Checked furnace operation. Took readings. Found flame sensor signal at 0.3microamps. Needs to be around 3. Flame sensor needs to be replaced. Found ignitor sparking against inshot burner and not against ground rod. Ignitor needs to be cleaned. Found burners dirty on the inside. Inshot burners need to be removed and cleaned. 2:33 PM We understand your concern, if you are concerned this was not cleaned properly, We can definately come out at no charge an take a look next week when temps are not as bad. It would be disappointing if our service tech did not do a thorough job. But I am a little confused because you can clean the burners and flame sensor but you can not clean an ignitor. I pulled the paperwork, and noticed that there are 2 other units and we can look at them also. Sorry for any inconvenience with this but we would like to put our eyes on the equipment and better explain this rather than over the e-mail. 2:57 PM Saturday, Feb 2, 2019 I would like to have you look st the other units since I'm not confident that the person you sent out cleaned the other furnaces. Based on the work done it was basically a cleaning that when speaking with the repair person on 1/28, said should have been addressed when the unit had maintenance in the fall. I don't need you to look st the 1st floor unit since it was just cleaned on 1/28 when the furnace wasn't heating properly. I'd like a credit for that cleaning since it obviously was not done. I need to check my schedule since I want to be present when they come out. I'm very disappointed with the service since the point of doing maintenance is to be proactive. I probably can schedule something the following week since I'm very busy next week. 2:52 PM Sunday, Feb 10, 2019 Following up on this since I have not heard back about the credit for unit 1. Also what days are you available to look at the other units and make sure they were maintenances properly. You can call me at [Member Information Removed] 2:26 PM Monday, Feb 11, 2019 I am sorry I thought this was replied to, I would gladly refund the money if this was not done correctly but this is cause for dismissal of the employee if it was in fact incorrect so in order to refund the money would also have to assess the unit and the invoice of the other company for our records. I am sure you can appreciate that we would like to assure our quality of services and that our technicians are doing what they are suppose to but as I have said we would need to have our own assessment as this may be cause for dismissal. Thank you, would like to have access by end of the month if at all possible. 7:39 AM Tuesday, Feb 12, 2019 Can someone come out on a Saturday? Otherwise, I have to arrange WFH and I won't be able to do this until March 1st. Please confirm. I can see if the company who addressed this can be available by phone. I'm also going to make Angie's list aware of this. 3:00 AM March 1st would be fine - and the ticket of the company will be fine or phone conversation because I have stated there is no way to clean an ignitor and we want to also be fair to the technician who was out on October 26th that will be dismissed if in fact the unit was not cleaned properly as you had stated on January 28th when unit would not go above 68 degrees (almost 3 months later) Please advise if March 1st between 8 & 12 is okay with your schedule. 6:52 AM

I couldn't be more pleased with the professionalism and attention to detail that every member of the Reeder organization exhibited while working on our home. From the technician who was meticulous in his documenting the case and work area, who answered all of my questions. To the back-office staff who always answered the phone and worked with me when I needed to make some changes to the work. To the installation crew who were polite, clean, and went above & beyond by ensuring that all of the required piping, cabling, and sealant were installed in a clean and safe way to ensure we could make the most out of our mechanical/laundry room. And finally to the David who offered to come out on a Sunday to fix an issue with the water pressure in our kitchen sink after the water heater had been installed (i believe some debris was stuck in the aerator after the pipes had been flushed). While they cost just slightly more than several other companies I contacted about the job, it was more than worth it. I would absolutely use them again, if the need arises.

It was a dirty flame sensor (which we forgot to have cleaned this winter). He also checked the airflow, which was too low (which could burn out the motor), and solved that problem by using a different filter. Knowledgeable, thoughtful, helpful, informative, professional and courteous service. Just fantastic.

When I bought a very old house with an 18 year old furnace and AC, I knew it would need immediate replacement. Reeder helped me pick the best options for my home, by dual-zoning my system and putting in 2 smaller ACs and 2 smaller furnaces. Reeder fit a small furnace in a small attic mechanical closet that other companies said was impossible, and they also added additional vents in order to address persistently cold rooms. Reeder moved thermostats to make sure they were getting a more accurate read on the room temperatures, and in anticipation of a 3rd floor renovation, they installed a gas line and dryer vent at a much more reasonable price than my general contractor was able to do. 10 months later, I can safely say that Reeder has made a 100+ year old drafty home into a comfortable space, that is warm when it is cold out and cool when it's hot out. Their technicians were always on time, answered my many questions, got along with my big crazy dog, and did a great job. The moment I raised concerns, they were addressed, and they made sure to work out any small hiccup that came along. I was so satisfied, that I hired Reeder later in the year to install a tankless hot water heater, which I am also very happy with. I recommend them with enthusiasm.

The hvac crew never showed up at the time scheduled. I called and asked where they were, and was told the foreman made a scheduling mistake and did not have the job on the schedule. I told him I had taken the day off, and was really disappointed the work could not get done on that day. I asked him to call me back with another date and time where he would be able to do the work. I never received a call back, and ultimately had to contact another HVAC company to do the work. Mistakes happen. I like the company and usually they are really good. So I'm going to chalk this up as an exception and not the rule. However, I would have appreciated the professional courtesy to call me back to resolve the mistake that happened on their end. That's just bad customer service at the end of the day.

It cost me a little bit more than expected. The Big Deal was for a tune up and it ended up costing me $500.

I have been woeking exclusevely with Reeder for the past 2 years. I am a property manager for 7 apartment buildings and 3 single family homes. Reeder has always been great to work with. Michelle is my main contact for scheduling emergency repairs as well as my clean and checks in the spring (for AC) and in the fall (for heat). She is always lovely to deal with on the phone, and very responsive in getting people out to me - or one of my tenants. David is their Sales & Installation manager. He has met me personally countless times to check on equipment and determine what to replace it with. These installations happen the same or next day. I have been a property manager for 23 years, and dealt with all kinds when it comes to HVAC - including many large companies that are big names in Chicago. NEVER have I received the curtesy or the professionalism that I receive when dealing with Reeder. The pricing is alway fair. The installs are done well - and CLEAN. My tenants are happy with the responsiveness, and so am I! I have worked with Bryan, Josh, 2 Tims and several others over the years. Everyone I have met was professional, communicated clearly what was being done, how much everything would be in writing, and I have never been charged more later. They welcome checks and every credit card I carry. A few weeks ago we installed 2 AC systems - both Lenox, and they are amazingly quiet. Tim B. did both installs over two days, and was incredibly clean and professional. Two days ago, while doing clean and checks at an apartment building, we walked into the furnace room and found that the hot water heater was leaking. The new one was installed that day. No inconvenience to my tenants! Yesterday afternoon we found that it was time to say goodbye to a 20 year old furnace in another apartment. A new Lenox is currently being installed. I could not be happier with the price or the service. Reeder is my go to for heating and cooling as well as hot water heater needs. I can't say enough about how happy I am with their work, and our relationship. 5 Stars!
