Unique indoor Comfort Inc has been the provider for my HVAC for 14 years. They have always been highly professional and honest. They do not over sell. I know I can trust their word because they have done minor inexpensive repairs along the way. They have been able to trouble shoot issues that another company could not solve. They are easy to work with and trustworthy. They have kept my 3 AC/3 Furnaces units going. There are two original units which are over 25 years old and still working! If you want the job done right, go with Indoor.

When I called to inquire, the woman on the phone said she could send someone out for a free quote. I CLARIFIED on the phone that this free quote would actually be free and would not cost anything to me. She confirmed this. At the time of my scheduled appointment, a technician arrived at my house with a bunch of equipment stating that he was here to do a inspection and cleaning. I stopped him and clarified that I was told that someone would be coming to give a FREE ESTIMATE. He said that there was no such thing as this, and went on to explain the cost of a service call, plus the cleaning, etc. I did not agree to pay for this, so he called his supervisor to see what to do. The technician was very friendly and professional and offered to take a look at our furnace since he was already here. So in the end, I actually was able to get a free quote and a partial (not in-depth) inspection as well as get a lot of my questions answered. I was happy with the professionalism of the technician as well as how well everything turned out, but not with the misleading communication I initially had with the company. I am not sure I will trust this company in the future.
Description of Work: I called Unique Indoor Comfort in October to inquire about the potential of a furnace inspection in the home we recently purchased.

Repairs were made and AC works, but the process to do so was unbelievable.
Description of Work: We had an inspection performed of our SpacePac AC unit in June, 2016, which showed the unit was in good condition, although a few of flexible ducts had been compressed and needed to be reshaped. At the time, the serviceman recommended an annual inspection of the unit, so we rescheduled in June, 2017. During this visit, the repairman found some water in the catch pan under the air handler, which he vacuumed out.

Great. Long overdue review from Winter 2016 install. Dan from Unique and his installer team did an outstanding job. They installed a Unico A/C system and warm air humidifier in our ~1924 house in Evanston, including first floor (living room, kitchen, dining, hall), second floor (4 beds and one bath) and attic playroom (no need for it in basement, was cool even before the AC install). It works great, even in the attic which was the hottest room in the house (before install) and we have said many times how happy we are to have the system. Yes, it was expensive, but Unique was competitive with other bids and it makes a world of difference. His team took special care to solve challenges and place ducts in the best places possible. There was virtually no mess (much cleaner than I expected). Our neighbor did the same install a month later with a different supplier and I can tell you, after getting the tour, Unique did a much better job. Dan was patient and took time to explore options, answer questions and make several visits for planning before we signed. Dan's team also came back out to improve the drain pipe outside the house (basically, ran a bit more PVC to a nearby drain) happily and without hesitation (and was a much better solution that I was going to try on my own). One tip, listen to Dan's guidance. I pushed and decided to include a ~$2500 warm air humidifier. He recommended another style (forget the name) that would have probably been better and far less expensive, but my mind was made up - I hate static. While the warm air humidifier works as planned (and we have far less/almost no static in the house in the winter), it may be a bit too much for the space (though it does crank out the humidity). Price below includes the humidifier.

It was free. It was part of the service agreement. They actually call me, sometimes I have to call them. They called me, and arrived earlier than they actually schedule. They went through a very thorough check of the furnace. Checked everything out. Everything was fine, and there was no charge, because it was a part of my service agreement.

Unique has the best service of any home related items I have ever experienced. The technicians just keep getting better. Robbie, a recent hire, is exceptional. Besides being friendly and invested in his work, his dedication and commitment are incredible. He checked, inspected and addressed additional items that have not been asked about, questioned or supported in years (decades)! I appreciate Unique, have them for business as well and am grateful that Robbie K. joined the team!

Robbie was our service provider and he was fantastic..pleasant, patient, nicely dressed, friendly, early for the appointment( hurray) and was very thorough. He fully checked out all of the equipment and he gave us directions to maintain our filters and our Aprilaire unit. We highly recommend both Unique Indoor Comfort of Libertyville IL and their technician, Robbie. Ask for him!
Description of Work: This was the summer check for the A/C according to our Service Agreement. He checked the entire system both inside and out and helped us with an issue with our thermostat.

The technician arrived on time. I don't have his name but he's provided service for us on multiple occasions and he's very professional and courteous. He takes care to put protective shoe covers on his work boots to prevent tracking any dirt inside the home and he keeps his work area clean. The technician is knowledgeable and even goes out of his way to explain what he's doing if you ask (which I do). He has also offered helpful tips to make sure I'm using and maintaining the system properly to allow for maximum performance. I've used this company for approximately 3 years now since I've owned this home. The previous owners had employed them as well (their company sticker was on the furnace). I chose to hire Unique Indoor Comfort to continue maintenance on my HVAC system and I'm glad I have. I would recommend them.
Description of Work: Unique Indoor Comfort maintains my furnace and air conditioning system. This service appointment was the spring check-up on my air conditioner.

Very through. Knowledgeable technician. I asked him for advice on other things not covered under my service agreement and he gave me honest and sound advice. This is typical of all of the technicians who have done work for me. They really care about the relationship with their customers and they really know what they are doing.

Brian came over and was very professional and went the extra mile to give my wife heating and cooling tips. He also fixed/adjusted our utility closet doors in about 30 seconds. I had been messing around with those doors for years and could not get it just right. He was very friendly and we were very happy with their service. Over the past 10 years we have used UNIQUE about 4 times for our HVAC maintenance and every time we are 100% happy. Thank you!!

Called at 8:05 they opened at 8:00, asked if they could come out and look at the air conditioner same day. Was told they could come out and given a time slot of 1-3pm, around 5pm I called and was told they are running behind but we were the next stop. The technician Dan arrived around 6:30 and sat in the driveway doing something in the van until almost 6:50 When he came to the door we were told the call would have to be rescheduled due to the weather and he left. Seems too convenient they work until 7:00 and when he gets there at almost 7:00 can work anymore today. Very unprofessional should have received a call that he was boing to be more than 3 hours past the latest time I was given when the call was scheduled. If they would have been honest and told me they couldn't do the work it when I called it would have been appreciated so someone else could have been called to do the work. Instead I wasted the entire afternoon waiting on my only day off this week for nothing.
Description of Work: Declined to do any work, didn't even want to come in and find out why we called.

Response from Unique Indoor Comfort Inc
Everyone at Unique understands how uncomfortable and frustrating it can be on a 90 degree day without air conditioning. Unfortunately, with our 45+ years of providing exceptional service; we still cannot control Mother Nature. The two and a half hours of thunderstorms and heavy rain in the morning delayed our schedule on Monday, pushing- back the member’s and every other customers’ service times. The member was informed that we were running behind the scheduled time in the afternoon as a result of the morning storms. When our technician arrived at the member’s residence, a second wave of severe thunderstorms was rolling through the entire Chicagoland area. Our technician was met at the door by the member’s wife and walk through the house by the member himself and showed the location of his air conditioning unit outside through his back garage door. Our technician unfortunately had to bare bad news to the member that the service call would have to be rescheduled by trying to explain he could not address their cooling issue due to thunderstorm’s heavy rain and lightning. All air conditioner service companies and even airlines face delays with severe thunderstorms. Unique Indoor Comfort’s company policy in accordance with OSHA regulations is not to service air conditioners outside during thunderstorms due to the high risk of lightning strikes while working with electricity and high risk of electrocution because water and electricity do not mix. Our technician followed our company policy by addressing the environmental issues and informing the member of the reason why service could not be completed at that time and offered rescheduling which the member refused. We always try to service our customers providing heating and cooling but unfortunately the weather doesn’t always cooperate. Josh Henrich Operations Manager

The representative arrived on time and reviewed the situation. We received a quote by email later that same day, but the quote was for the full solution rather than giving us tiered options. Price was nearly 65% higher than the equivalent solution as quoted by the contractor we eventually hired to do the job. Knowing the cost of the parts and materials from doing research online, we believe the quote was heavily marked up beyond what should have been a reasonable amount of labor and profit.
Description of Work: Quoted on a solution for a cooling "trouble spot" in an upstairs bedroom, and a secondary issue with a main-level room. We asked to propose a tiered solution that would deal with the priority problem (cooling in upstairs office) and build up to a full cooling plus heat solution for both rooms.

We appreciated the opportunity to offer the member a solution to their problem. Unique Indoor Comfort feels this is a great comment and that this member’s comment with our response will be beneficial to all Angie’s List members. With over 45+ years experience and after innovating a solution to cool homes with the product Unico System, Unique Indoor Comfort can fully address homes that have no air conditioning or homes that have poorly designed ductwork resulting in rooms or sections of homes that do not heat or cool well. Our Comfort Adviser, Ed, with 45 years of HVAC experience himself knew how to address the member’s problem and proposed a solution that would address all concerns and comfort issues. Unfortunately, the member did not ask Ed for clarification and assistance in comparing the different solutions. Our solution could not be equivalent because our material costs alone, exceeds the member’s stated approximate purchase price. The permit fees for installing a new air conditioning system and running new electric to the unit in the member’s town ranges from $300 to $800; so- we know the member was not comparing apples to apples. Properly comparing proposals is very important to understanding the different solutions. Internet searches can give a basis and information certain on products, but a full system solution installed by a service provider requires many more items and material that the consumer is aware of. That’s why we want our customers to ask us questions; just like doctors who do not want you to self diagnose and treat yourself from an internet search. Josh Henrich Operations Manager

Unique was very professional in the estimate process. The American standard products they offer are great units at good price points. Their pricing is competitive, but ultimately I got a better deal from someone doing a side job. I will consider them in the future for replacing my HVAC at my larger home.
