Very well.
Description of Work: Our disabled son's hvac system in his condo in Evanston has been serviced by Crne's for over a decade. His unit has been particularly challenging to heat and cool evenly, but Crne's technicians have been resourceful and very helpful in resolving all problems. Since I am the person to deal with these problems, I am grateful to have these friendly and professional technicians.

Our furnace was about 10 years old and poorly maintained. The poor thing was making a horrible noise and struggling to blow air. We had a different contractor out to diagnose the problem. The first contractor recommended a complete replacement. I called CRNE for a second opinion. CRNE came out, poked around, and gave me the option to attempt to repair our furnace or replace it. The technician patiently talked through all our options and helped us to pick a replacement furnace that was better AND cheaper than the other contractor's recommendation. CRNE was prompt and courteous at every interaction. When they came to replace the furnace they found the one I had purchased was out of stock. No problem! They gave me an upgrade to a better model in order to keep my appointment. While they had our HVAC apart they also fixed some crappy ductwork from years ago.
Description of Work: CRNE replaced our dying furnace with a faster, better, more powerful, quieter, AND cheaper furnace.

Al provided a lot of info about alternatives and their benefits. We picked what seems like a great new system. Chris and Al did a very neat and professional installation. They also gave us a good run down on the controls and how to get the most out of the new set up. I would highly recommend Crne's.

I Originally contacted them for a second opinion. They provided a thorough diagnosis and options to repair or replace my current furnace. The replacement options were cheaper and better than previous quotes. The installation team returned a week later and installed the furnace without a single problem. They even upgraded the unit because the unit I chose was backordered and they didn't want me to suffer without heat. It's been 3 weeks. So far so good.

Description of Work: CRNEs installed my new AC/HVAC units in 2009 and I've been on a service contract with them for the last two years. The come every 6 months to inspect the units, change filters, troubeshoot any issues, etc. AND they do it proactively, calling me to make an appointment that is convenient for me schedule. They have always been very flexible, responsive and prompt. Last year when me AC got clogged with cottonwood one week after my AC inspection they came back and cleaned it out for free. I trust this company with my heating and air needs.

I have used this company for many years. They are extremely professional. The office staff is great! They are always prompt to get back to me and go out of their way to help me. The technicians are always professional, timely and courteous. They take their time to make sure I understand how the equipment works and more importantly, they do not try to sell me on parts or services that I do not need! I feel they offer great products and services at reasonable prices. This company has some of the BEST customer service I have experienced - which is very hard to find these days!
Description of Work: Installed a new hot water heater. They also provide annual maintenance on my furnace, air conditioner and sump pump.

The technician was courteous, as always and explained how I could avoid the cost of repairs for the problem with my furnace in the future by showing me how the intake system worked and how to reset the device. H also helped bring the cost of the heater down and provided me with an affordable ac/furnace tune up service. This was all completed quickly and at a reasonable price.
Description of Work: They came to fix a problem with furnace and noticed a leak in my water heater. I was able to get a new water heater very quickly that fit my budget and the limited space but still provides enough hot water for my family's needs.
