Keith from Freedom came for scheduled checkup and suggested replacing the furnace. The overall process went smoothly with good communication on the progress. Josh was very professional throughout the installation process and ensured my tenant on-site understood the basics. In addition, Josh sent Miguel the same day to ensure the humidifier was working properly.

Keith called 30 minutes in advance and arrived at the promised time. He inspected the furnace system and humidifier for issues, photographing the different parts of the system and educating me about the need to replace the humidifier filter. He had a filter on hand and showed me how to replace it going forward. I've always had a great experience with Freedom, and this time was no exception...

We bought an older house. We know the HVAC will need both heating and AC repair. We have been calling for a month to redeem a deal - that is still up on Angi's list - and nobody has returned our call. I guess our money isn't good enough for you. If you're too busy, take the deal down. We'll take our business elsewhere.

We claimed two A/C Tune-up Deals for $39 each. Rick arrived on time, and he checked our filters and mentioned that the coolant line had a small area that needed insulation. He saw we had some pipe insulation, so he took some and installed it. After that he went outside to test and "clean" the condensers. He tested them and then took a hose and sprayed around the outside of the units, including opening the corner of one. All told he was here for under 30 minutes. When he brought the bill, I asked him why he didn't open the units, and he said he didn't need to because they were really clean on the inside. I looked into the units after the fact, and they are not clean on the inside. There is quite a bit of sludge on the bottom, as well as leaves and branches.

Thank you for the review, for a normal maintenance check the cleaning is normally done on the outside of the unit, if there is a real need to open the units up we would definitely let you know, because of the fact that there are additional labor costs involved when having to open the unit up and do a deep cleaning making it considerably more expensive for that visit. Our technician would have definitely let you know if that was a service that was needed at the time. Since, to him, it seemed fine at that time he did not see the point in charging more for a deeper cleaning of the unit. We definitely never try to over sell, so that is why he had said that the inside looked fine at that visit. We thank you very much for letting us know how you felt about the visit, this way we can explain what has happened to allow others to know what it is to be expected.

Willy was extremely thorough in troubleshooting potential causes for the lack of heat coming from my heater. He progressively eliminated the thermostat and multiple other components before concluding the heater was having air flow issues and had been repeatedly overheating. He educated me along the way about how to decipher heater status codes, what the heater behavior told him as he was trying different things, what he believed the problem was, and what options I had. He also educated me about filters and suggested I use a more porous filter, despite my allergies. Ultimately, my best option was to replace the heater and air conditioner, given the repeated stress the heater had been under for multiple years, its current performance, the interconnectedness of the heater and air conditioner, and the fact I planned to stay in the condo for years more. Because Willy did such a nice job educating me and helping me understand the implications of each option, I feel good about the decision to replace the units.

Thank you so much for the great review! We really are happy that our tech was a great help to you in understanding the ins and outs of how these systems work. Sometimes it is better to start new rather than to keep placing band aides on older units, it does save money in the long run. We are grateful to have you as a customer and look forward to seeing you every season for the maintenance on your new system. Be well, always.

We set up an appointment using a $49 service and diagnosis deal. The morning of the appointment we got a call from Nick at 7:45, asking if they could change our time to their first appointment instead of the afternoon. We agreed and changed our morning around to accommodate the change. Since they said they were about to leave, we figured it would take at most an hour for them to arrive. He and Pete finally got to our house around 10:30, about an hour and a half late. Nick came to the door without a mask. When I asked if he had one, he told me they only put them on when they go inside, and they would only be working outside, which we don’t have a problem with. The problem is that he knocked on the door several times and since he was maskless (We weren’t.), we were very uncomfortable opening the door. He finally put his mask on when he came into the house to have us sign the invoice. They began by spraying water from our hose into the AC condenser and then telling us several times how filthy it was. Could it have had some debris in it? Of course, but we had hosed it down in the spring. Nick even told us how filthy our other condenser was, which is unlikely because it is only a few months old. In discussing our filthy AC unit, Nick said they charge $69 for the cleaning, which we didn’t authorize and which consisted of about five minutes of spraying with our hose. I told him I was surprised to see that this was considered to be a cleaning because when we had AC cleaning before, the technician had taken the unit apart. He said that was a deep cleaning. The worst part was the recommendation for service. Nick told us that we needed refrigerant for $89 a pound (significantly more than other companies we have called), but they couldn’t tell us how much until they filled it and weighed the tank to see how much was used. We questioned this since he said it could be up to four pounds, which would be $366, and were perplexed about why they couldn’t tell us how much was needed since they seemed to have a gage attached to the unit. Pete then told us it was too cold to fill the refrigerant. It was 55 degrees, and it needed to be 65 degrees or higher. Then we were even more confused. How would they know how much refrigerant was actually going in? This is particularly concerning because overfilling the refrigerant can harm the AC unit. What’s more, why would they even schedule the appointment when it was too cold to properly assess or address the problem? In the end we paid the $49 for the service call, despite the fact that we really didn’t feel like we got a true assessment of the problem or a real solution, but were not charged the $69 for the five minute hose cleaning. It was pretty much a waste of time and money. They did have time to put a Freedom Heating and Cooling sticker on the other AC unit that they did not service or install, which fortunately we were able to remove. We never understand why companies think it is okay to do that. The customer doesn’t get anything out of the free advertising, and it is really akin to property defacement.

The technicians caught a train 1 hour away from you, which was explained to you. They are required to wear masks when entering any customers home. The unit needed to be washed off before checking pressures. Pictures show your unit was one of the dirtiest any of us have ever seen. They diagnosed the problem, told you the solution. They did not up-sale you on anything and honored the $49 deal. The entire situation could have been avoided if you had basic maintenance on your system. You left your A/C in such bad condition and are upset because we told you the problem. Instead of taking a gamble with charging the unit on a colder day, they told you the truth about false readings. Most people would respect honesty, we are sorry you feel this way. Thanks and God bless.

Our AC stopped working one night and we did research and the reviews seemed positive on Freedom. That's why we chose them. My wife called them the next morning and they promptly answered and said they could have a tech out here in the afternoon which was great. The tech noticed the fan motor wasn't working and assumed it was the capacitor. He was correct and replaced it. We had cold air so that was that. The service fee to come out was $129 and an additional $216 for the capacitor and labor. He was not here more than 20 minutes to replace a $20 part. Talk about price gouging. Moreover our motor went out about 8 hours later and the AC broke again. This was not Freedom's fault because the motor was a tad rough and the internal bearings were probably about to go. I spoke to a tech two days later over the phone and he gave me a quick ballpark figure for a new motor and it would be anywhere between $550-$750. That was too much for a motor so I ended up replacing it myself for a mere $169 shipped overnight to me.

Thanks for the review, seems a bit harsh though. You had a problem, we fixed it. We didn't force you to buy anything, you agreed on the price before repairs. We aren't a company that works out of a house garage, our prices are structured on the same level as the top 5 HVAC companies in Chicago. We gave you a price over the phone and you didn't like it? Okay no problem, you don't have to actually go with our repair. You had the part shipped to you? That's awesome! So let us take what we've learned from your thoughts. Price "F" which you agreed upon before repairs. Nice! Quality "C" seems like great quality if your system worked after the repairs, guess not though. Responsiveness/Punctuality "B" okay fair enough! Professionalism "C" That's odd, your technician has his EPA license, electricians license, and 11 years of experience. Glad everything worked out for you, thanks for your business!

I have been having my boiler seasonally checked or repaired every year by Freedom Heating and Cooling. However this call was the most expensive and as an Angies List member I tried to use a 10% off coupon from Freedom Heating and Cooling and they refused. There were no stipulations that you had to be a first time customer or anything because I checked that before even asking to apply the coupon! I found this to be dishonorable misrepresentation.
