There service was okay, but their pricing was over-inflated. They charged me over four times what a part cost. I called up the person in the organization and he gave me a bit of bull so I decided to let it go. The parts were way, way too overcharged. For a $30 capacitor part they charged me something, like, around $178. They came out a few days after I bought the deal. I said that I would not used those guys again. They cleaned up after they left.

We thank you for the review, when a company charges an amount to change parts it's important to remember that there is much more than the $30 part that is being paid for, for one is the time it takes to do the repair, the insurances needed for the tech to be able to take the risks of the job to make the repair, and also covers the warranty time for if something happens to that part so we can replace it within a year.

All I have to say is WOW. I never usually write reviews but I had to for this one. I have two 50 gallon water tanks in my home that were both broken (one has been out since 2013). Freedom came out and absolutely made my day by fixing the one that has been out since 2013 and told me it should work fine for quite a while. Another company tried to get me to replace both units for $4000. Guillermo was the tech and he was simply amazing. Honest, to the point, and talented. Thanks for saving me $3700. When these water heaters finally die, I know who to call!

It went very well! We've actually been having an issue with the furnace for the last couple of years where it randomly would stop working and then eventually would kick back on. We called a couple of different providers and they could not figure out what was wrong, and honestly we gave up on it since it happened so sporadically. Well, Freedom came out to tune up the A/C which they did a great job on. He also checked out the furnace while he was here and pointed out a part on the furnace that was not functioning properly and told us that it could cause the furnace to not work properly (and we didn't even mention this was an issue)! So, not only did we have an AC ready to go, we now have a fully functional furnace! Outside of the visit going well, we loved working with Freedom. They show up on time, and even call to let us know they are on their way. Very clean and friendly while in the house, and the tech explained everything he was doing as he was doing it. I will definitely be using them again when it is time to tune up the furnace for the start of winter.
Description of Work: We purchased a deal for an air conditioner checkup for the upcoming summer season. The tech that came out not only did the tune up on the A/C but also checked out our furnace.

Willie is fabulous; talked me through the technical details and then walked me through the maze of actual conditioning units up on my roof. What a pity that the identifying numbers have worn off of most of the machines, mine included, of course. Willie narrowed it down, and there she was: the most dilapidated pile of ruins up there. I expressed my concerns about the languishing furnace situation which prompted Willie to call his boss to see if a deal could be had. Good fortune was smiling down on me that day and I was offered and promptly accepted an excellent deal on a new Lennox Air Conditioner and a new Lennox Furnace( plus installation and excellent warranties). The following Monday Genti, another expert from Freedom, and his coworkers arrived early and stayed late arranging my shiny new HVAC system in all it's glory. Genti was amazing in his persistence; who knew that the previous furnace installers had cemented the furnace into the floor? Not to mention it was hotter than Hades in my little bathroom with that soot filled utility closet. A job well done, thank you Freedom Heating and Cooling. Wish I would have known about that Angie's List COUPON the previous reviewer was whining about! Checking Angie's List is key, people. Checking Angie's List is KEY.
Description of Work: The air conditioning in my condo up and died on July 14, 2016 just before midnight; a very unfortunate turn of events considering the blazing heat in Chicago this summer and how poorly I function in it. My first thought was to call Freedom H & C because they have been in my home on previous occasions( originally found them on Angie's ) and the guys were great. I called them the next day( Friday ) and Willy arrived around 6pm( I think; I was in a sweaty stupor by then ) and he checked out my cooling system. My ancient and completely FRIED cooling system which was beyond any hope of repair. That was not a big surprise: I had been anxious about my HVAC situation for well over a year. The furnace was barely functional the previous November, but that's a tragic story for another day...Maintenance is key, people. Seasonal maintenance is KEY.

It didn't' happen. Despite not including any service area limitations in their offer, they refused to honor the deal because they do not "service the area I live in"….Chicago?!?!. I am 5-7 minutes south of downtown and about 18 miles from their office or 20-25 minutes during the non-rush hour period. What is this really about?

The tech that came out was really great. He was on time and communicative. He was honest with me about the state of my furnace and air conditioner, he explained everything that he was doing, and explained my options with various price ranges. When I am looking to replace my units or for future repairs, I will definitely be working with Freedom Heating & Cooling.

I had a tech name WILLIE come out to trouble shoot, he end up telling me that i needed freon for my AC unit but the price he was giving me was for the wrong FREON and i knew it but he kept saying that i was wrong and try to charge me $95 per pound when it should of cost only $65 per pound. The total charge would of been close to $500. I called and complain to someone in the office and he said that there was nothing he can do and that his manager or owner would call me back but that never happen. I end up hiring someone else who give me the correct freon for the right price. I offer to send the invoice to Freedom Heating & Cooling but they decline. Please do not deal with them or work with the tech Willie, totally bad service.

Technician was great and did a very good job, but I bought an "Angie's List deal" $199 for an HVAC assessment (not entirely sure what that was other than him saying that my unit is dirty and checking to see how cold the hose was) and an extra $160 for cleaning and freon, which all told is a pretty steep price. Looking back it wasn't much of a deal, but a con. In the future I will avoid the "Angie's list deal" for this and just contact an HVAC service provider independently and ask them for a cleaning and add freon. Hint: Watch YouTube videos on how to clean the AC unit yourself.

Thank you for the review, as for the allegation of us possibly committing a scam as for your opinion, we would like to explain our side since we do not feel that way. Running a "scam" operation is a serious legal offense and an allegation such as that can have serious consequences. By definition a scam is , "One who takes money from others by deceiving them". In our case here, there was no deceit, the system needed a cleaning that was more in depth than what was paid for, keep in mind the technicians time, supplies and any parts needed are counted in all the pricing we have. We are not ones whom would take money for no work at all or for work that isn't needed, trust is a huge part of what we do for our business, and hurting the trust of our customers would be the downfall of us. We are not a business of the "take the money and run" type, we here realize that there is no future in that type of model, we much rather would like to build lasting relationships with our customers in order to reciprocate their needs for their equipment for our need to run our business. We have been well established for years and have no need to practice any act of "scamming" of any type. There are so many whom are very quick to jump to the conclusion that we are out to make a "quick buck" and run. In these times those companies are fairly easy to spot, and usually have not been in business very long, many feel at times that prices may be too high when dealing with these things, but make sure of what you'll be getting when you see those "low" prices, to avoid the "scams" that are truly out there. When you pay money for anything you should receive either your product or your service, extremely low pricing should be a Huge red flag when it comes to HVAC work. As far as doing it yourself, we love seeing those who are able to clean & check their own systems, it saves a lot of money and in the long run helps your unit last. We thank you so much for opening up such a discussion, we learn from everything and from this we learn so much. We pray you have a wonderful Upcoming Holiday Weekend.

I purchased the seasonal AC tune-up. Upon arrival the technician repeatedly complained about the AC unit being on the roof and told me there would be a "ladder fee" of $90 because he had to use a 10 foot ladder to get on the roof. I had never been charged a "ladder fee" in 10 years of having hvac technicians out to my property, but I was in a time crunch so I agreed. During the check-up he ended up changing the capacitor and said the unit otherwise looked good. Since he serviced the unit I have had problems with the ac tripping the main circuit breaker. I bought out a different company to look at it and they said the wiring was shot and had to be replaced. Now the unit runs fine. The new technician said the problem was fairly obvious which makes me think something was missed during the AC inspection or the wiring was done wrong when the capacitor was replaced.

The best part of it is that, I called in the day before and they were able to fit me in the next day. They were able to get me in the day after I called, early in the morning. It was really impressive. We will continue to use them. We have had them service our other furnace one time as well. We always call them because they provide us with wonderful customer service.
