We bought a big deal with assured air for air duct cleaning and had a very good experience. The technician was very professional and was prompt when starting and ending the job. He also did a good job cleaning after the job was completed. I highly recommend the company and intend to use them in the future.

Thanks for the nice report. The guys really want to do a high quality job. They will do their best and spend extra time to get the job done right if needed. Duct cleanings are good to do every 10 years and customers can easily see how we do it by going to our web site. Once you are there, click on the duct cleaning tab and watch the video "The Meyer difference". Also you can see our specials and pricing. We also recommend getting the dryer vent cleaned occasionally. We have a special "while we are there" price available. Thanks again.

The service was completed quite a while ago, but the job went perfectly from start to finish. Got an excellent quote, quick installation, and a good product. I was completely satisfied with everything, and have recommended them to other home owners in my area who also have older houses that can't install standard AC. We have used Assured Air for subsequent AC inspections post installation, and they would be our first call should we ever need service.

The job was completed the fourth month of 2005. The customer bought a Space Pak unit 4.0 ton. Everything went well. The customer has also used us for cleaning the a couple times has well. Space Pak systems should be cleaned yearly if possible to avoid break downs or nuisance calls. Currently the cleaning runs just under $100.00 from our professionals. Thanks for the nice report.

They called and explained that the deal would not work since it is for the replacement of an existing air conditioner rather than just installing a new one.

Thanks for the nice report. This customer bought a deal through Angie's list that was for a replacement a/c system for customers that already have a air conditioner in place. Upon contacting her and asking her some questions, I quickly found out that she has a hot water heated home and at one time had some functional duct work that has been abandoned. I recommended to her to return the deal and when she is ready, to schedule for a through estimate. I have also contacted Angie's list and they have slightly revised the deal to make it more clear for customers to understand. Also I would highly recommend that customers read the entire offer before a purchase is made.

Technician came on time and was very professional. He installed a while house humidifier and made sure he answered all my questions. Installation was very clean and good. Technician cleaned up after him and didn't leave any trash. The only comment is that he installed the humidifier water line on the cold line, I asked him and he said this is this is the best way to do it. I've seen it installed on the hot lines only, so if you want more humidity it's best to install on hot line and tell him before he begins. I would use them again for other work.

This customer purchased a humidifier special through Angie's list. We installed a 500m humidifier and everything went well. The tech did inform me about the customer wanting the water line on the hot piping and I explained to the tech that he was correct to put it on the cold first. The only time we recommend hooking up to the hot side of the water lines, is if the customer is not getting enough humidity. When we get this complaint we can either move the water line or add a blower activation relay. Both would have the same end result and get the customer more humidity. Although we rarely get that complaint. Thanks for the nice report. All went has expected and we appreciate the business.

This customer bought the humidifier from Angie's list. We responded to the purchase set up the installation date and did the work. Everything went well and worked well. Aprilaire makes very good humidifiers I would say the best in the business. They provide good needed humidity durring the winter months making the home more comfortable. Humidification helps to alleviate dry skin, bloody noses and makes you feel a little bit warmer. Also the added humidity decreases drafts in the homes. Overall adding a humidifier to a new or existing system is a good choice providing the unit is maintained yearly to insure proper function.

We bought this Angies List Big Deal back in november, but The Polar Vortex prevented the service until today. (4/17/2014) I spoke with Assured Air several times over the winter and was assured that our deal would not expire Sergio did a great job! He explained the whole process and was extremely clean with both the set up and clean up. Sergio arrived around 9:30 and left at 2:00 pm. Thorough out, Sergio was polite and professional.

We really try to do our very best for our customers. At Assured Air customer service is high on our priority list. We have told the guys to put their best foot forward and to treat the customer like they would want to be treated. We have also emphasised to them to take a little extra time, if needed, to complete the job 100% and thoroughly. We feel that sice we install duct work, that we know how to clean it best. We have 3 duct cleaning machines and we keep them maintained and running properly. Customers can see the process we use by simply going to assuredair.com and watching a video under the air duct cleaning tab. If desired we will deodorize the ducts for free towards the end of the job. We are looking to create a long time relationship with our customers and to do so by offering very fair pricing, quality equipment and quality service.

We clean and check forced air furnaces for $69.99 currently. For that price we are performing a 21 point clean and check. The servicemen go over the system electrically, clean the flame sensor, clean the burner area, vacuum any debris from the by products of combustion and cycle the system. It is nice to do this yearly to insure safe operation durring the winter season. We service areas has far south has Tinley Park and has far north has Park Ridge. We also go out west to Naperville and service parts of the city of Chicago. Our service rates are fair and we work on residential and light commercial. We also offer service agreements where customers can get maintainence, discounts and preferred service as well. Should you have a problem after hours we have 24 hour service available if needed. Thanks for the nice report. Assured Air, Ltd.

This customer purchased the air duct cleaning through Angie's list. We got a confirmation e mail, responded and they booked the call and selected a date that worked for them. They added a dryer vent cleaning for $60.00 that we do with the air duct cleaning machine. It cleans the dryer vents very well, even commercial dryer vents. The machine has a lot of suction that we can adjust to provide a accurate cleaning. Potential customers can see the specials and process on our web site as well. We take the time to do the work right and want to satisfy our customers.

We sent Sergio out to te customers home for a 10 am call. He reported that everything went well. We have 3 air duct cleaning machines and are able to handle home and light commercial air duct cleanings. We have found that in order to get a good end result, that the combination of time and the right equipment are important. We clean all the duct work and since we install duct work, we know how to clean it. The machines are specifically disigned for air duct cleaning. Towards the end of the job, if desired, we offer to deodorize the duct work as well. We even show the customer what was removed from the ducts if asked. We feature fair pricing and do a great job. Our process and specials can be seen on our web site under the duct claning tab. Ducts should be cleaned every handfull of years and if you are moving into a new home, I would get it done before you move in. A special thanks to this customer for a nice report.

We do very fair priced service. Our furnace clean and checks have been $69.99 for years now. We also clean and check boilers for a bit more. A clean and check is essential to any system. I would recommend doing it every year or two at the start of the fall season. We do try to take a proactive approach while doing the clean and check and should the system need a noticeable repair, we will note it in the recommendation section of the service ticket and bring it to the customers attention as well. Some customers will try to skip this on newer system which does not make sense, you would not buy a new car and not change the oil after 3 to 5,000 miles. It is good to do, inexpensive and provides peach of mind. A clean and check takes 30 minutes to a hour and can be scheduled for early mornings or end of the day if needed. We open up Saturdays has needed during peak times as well. We do offer a nice special through Angie's list. Please check it out! Get a clean and check done today, get rid of the byproducts of combustion (dirt) and have peace of mind tonight.

This job was done about a year ago. The customer had a 30 year old Space Pak system that needed to be upgraded. Upon doing a heat load calculation and listening to the customer we also found out that the system was undersized. We proposed a larger system with a few more outlets. We upgraded a good portion of the system, when doing this almost everything is replaced with the exception of the branches and face plates. The freon and outdoor portion were also upgraded to ozone friendly equipment. We strive to give our customers the best price we can, but Space Pak components are on the expensive side. Although in comparison to automobiles, the Space Pak pricing has not went up considerably for years now. I have been working with these systems since 1988 and have found them to be a great solution to get central air into a older home without major remodeling. When a customer weighs out space considerations and remodeling costs, Space Pak is the better solution and boasts better dehumidification. The job went well. The customer was satisfied and updated for the next 20 to 30 years. Great thanks go out to the customer for the nice report.

Sergio arrived on time as scheduled. He explained the process. The equipment used appeared to be more than adequate for the job. The job was scheduled to take at least 3 hours but ran almost 5 hours with the 30 minute dryer vent cleaning. I was instructed to replace the air filter in 2 weeks.

Our workers take the time needed to make sure the ducts are has clean has possible. They understand that customers do not have the ducts cleaned frequently, so if a job needs a little more time to get it right, they are directed to do so. We feel that ducts should be cleaned every 7 to 10 years and the more time that is spent cleaning them, the better they come out. We have 2 duct cleaning machines and yearly we go over them to make sure they are working properly. We have been doing duct cleanings since we first opened 20 years ago. Since we install ducts, we know how to clean them. Our machines work well in both residential and lite commercial applications. We can also deodorize the ducts when we are done if desired. The ducts are cleaned by a combination of three things a vacuum unit, compressed air and if needed brushes. We agitate the duct and dirt that is in the duct work and it gets drawn out the the vacuum unit where it is contained in a bag. The machine will suck out almost any debris, when I used to use it, I found on one job that it removed close to a case go beer cans. The bottom line is, the more time that is spent on it, the better the results. We offer 3 and 4 hour duct cleanings for one furnace homes. If a customer has more than one unit they should call the office for pricing.

Thanks for the great report. This summer has been a odd one with humidity levels being high and temperature ranges all over the board. During a hot spell we found that one customer had a estimate from another contractor for $1500.00 more than our regular price. We do not up our pricing due to weather conditions. We have fair pricing year round and we take great pride in offering our customers fair prices, quality equipment and a nice job. We are said to feature very fair pricing on both service and installations. This customers job went has expected. We showed up on time and finished the work promtly so they could enjoy the air. We really try to satisfy our customers needs and offer them good solutions that will last for years to come without breaking the bank.

Called Assured Air in morning, was told they could come out later in the day to diagnose problem. Technician ran a little late due to previous job, however, he was very prompt in calling us to let us know ahead of time, which was great... so many service companies don't call if they are running late. When he arrived, Sergio, the technician, was very pleasant and polite. Diagnosed problem, had part in truck and replaced it. Part came with a 5 year warranty, which is great. All fixed in 1/2 hour for a reasonable price... painless. Would definitely recommend and hire again. A+

We do typically run on schedule, but sometimes calls take longer than the time we allotted for. Most customers give a really good description of their problem, this allows us to block off a certain amount of time between calls. Some customers have no idea of what is going on with their system so we have to make a educated guess on the amount of time needed between calls. All workers have cell phones and are trained to communicate with our customers. We are way better than cable companies that give you a four hour window and then show up at the end of the four hours. We take great pride in being prompt and we are always customer focused and in tune to their needs. Sergio has been with us for a while. We have found him to be a good communicator, friendly and attentive to customer needs. We really try our best to satisfy our customers.

The gentleman who installed the equipment (furnace and A/C) did an excellent job of installation. It was obvious that he new what he was doing. The furnace heats well but the output volume of warm air out of the duct work is nowhere as good as the unit that was replaced. Consequently, on some real cold days our basement rec-room feels cold and the only solution is to turn the thermostat up higher than the setting that we normally use. I understand that such things as how well the house is insulated and how good the windows are at keeping the cold out will have a bearing on the temperature control. I was told, however, that the lower input therm rating of the new furnace would be made up by the fact that the new furnace was a high efficiency unit. The new furnace - 90+% and the old furnace 80%. The furnace has a variable speed D.C. motor in it and it does occasionally speed up by itself to get the job done. Still it ain't quite the same folks! We haven't tried the A/C yet. It hasn't been hot enough yet for that. I would commend Assured Air LTD for helping us get the rebate that was available at the time of purchase. They filled out all of the forms.

Unfortunately we do not build the equipment, but when a customer is un happy with a two stage furnaces operation we can easily correct it. We have found over the years that some customers do not really like the first stage of heating on a two stage furnace. They are used to the hotter air of a single stage and view the two stage heating has a draft since the air is much cooler. we can easily flip a dip switch on the circuit board of the new furnace and then the unit will only fire in the second stage of heat and produce the hotter air the customer is used to. I will contact the customer to inform him of this option. The idea of two stage hearing is good. It eliminates the blast of hot and blast of cold produced by single stage units by having longer run times and two levels of heating. On days when it is cooler outside the unit works at about half the capacity to get the smaller job done and also saves you a few bucks while doing so. Should the temperature drastically drop then it would go to the second stage of heating and get the job done. The variable speed motor inside these units is similar to a cfl lite bulb, being that it will only use a small amount of electric to get the job done. This customer was very specific on how he wanted the PVC piping done at his home, so we decided to use a termination kit that would get him a finished look on his face brick home. The job came out great. Unfortunately when customers are wanting to attain the nicor gas rebate, they have to purchase qualifying equipment. Typically higher efficiency. It does cost money to go green and the units are fairly expensive, but the will cost the customer less to operate in the long run. Everyone is happier with a lower utility bill and it is good for the planet. A added benefit over entry level units is a longer life expectancy. Entry level units typically last about fifteen years, while mid and high level units last about twenty. Add in quieter operation and overall it is a win, win for the consumer. The bottom line on the efficiency issue is to consider how much longer you will live in the home. If you are only going to be there for the next five years, then it is ok to purchase entry level equipment. If you are going to be there for eight to twelve years, then purchase mid level equipment. If you are staying there for the rest of you life, I would comsider the best. Over time the unit will pay for itself through lower utility bills and increased comfort.

Great service, will definitely use again.
Description of Work: They cleaned and inspected the boiler as well as provided advise on how to limit the heat on the second floor. I had asked for an estimate for individual thermostats for each radiator on the second floor. They informed me to first try and adjust the radiator valve (which were in good working order). That should take care of the excessive heat on the second floor and won't cost anything. They were right, it worked. What a great company. I had another company come out to provide an estimate, and they didn't provide me any guidance, just a $1200 estimate. What a waste that would've been. Thanks Assured Air. You're a truly honest company.

Part of our job is to educate the customer. We often make recommendations and give the customers tips and advice. On a hot water boiler system with radiators usually each radiator has a adjustable valve on the side of it. A lot of them are older and have many layers of paint on them from over the years. If they are older and inoperable we can replace them with a new valve. These valves when functioning allow the customer o adjust the flow of water into the radiator. The more open it is, the hotter it gets. If you close it down a bit, less water will flow to the radiator and it will provide less heat. We have good honest workers that really try to pin point the customers problem and make cost effective recommendations. We do not promote parts swapping and we understand that the customer wants a proper diagnosis. Most calls can be properly diagnosed within the first 30 minutes of the service call. We are a customer focused company that offers very fair pricing and quality work. We are looking to create a relationship with or customers that will hopefully last for many years to come. Customer satisfaction is indeed a top priority at our company.

It worked out well. Overall, they were really good. They were professional, they were quick and they were clean. The price came in as quoted and there were no surprises. I would definitely recommend them for air conditioning and specifically spacepak installation. They were more competitive than the other quotes that I had. I haven’t turned on the system yet because it is not summer and I may have to get back to that. I am perceiving that the quality of the installation, everything is done well. I haven’t used the air conditioning. I will not be able to test the system for another month or two. Quality grade withheld until summer when unit is activated. It was a very positive experience. I want to make sure when it gets to 80 or 90 degrees, they comeback after tuning that everything works well. I don’t anticipate any problems based on my experience with them.

This customers home was for sale and he needed to install the Space Pak for resale reasons. When we last talked shortly after the job was completed he had a offer on the home. Today most people are used to having central air. When potential buyers are searching for a home, many will not look at homes that are not air conditioned. I would recommend that if possible the installation be done a few years prior to marketing the home. This way the homeowner can enjoy the central air before selling the home. Some customers have said that by adding central air, we have even saved a couple marriages. The job went very well has expected. There was a room addition with a vaulted ceiling and we added the outlets sidewall, it came out great. In oe spot in the finished attic bedroom we ran the main trunk line under a window for about 4 feet. The customer paid is a little extra to box it in giving it a window seat look. The customer was made aware of the sidewall outlets and need for a window seat during the initial estimate. The workers always treat the customers home like it were theirs. They do a good job cleaning up and will even let the dog out if you ask them to. Our workers have been with us for years. We do not use subcontractors. They also communicate very well on a regular basis while the job is going on. We really try to got the distance for our customers. Pricing is kept has fair as possible. We are said to have the best pricing on this type of installation in the Chicagoland area.

We had gone out to breakfast (because it was cold) so said we needed extra time to get back home and it wasn't a problem (wasn't like we got bumped down in the queue). Tech came, assessed the issue and was able to repair a part with the pilot light starter. As he was leaving he also gave us a heads up that he looked at the water heater and that it looked like it would go sometime in the near future. (He was right - it went within the month - was extremely old - was helpful that we were earmarking that expense after his heads up. He gave us an estimate for doing that job - but when it did go, someone else was able to do it that day - a weekend of course - and had models that received a Nicor tax credit.)
Description of Work: Our (older) furnace went out during the night, and Assured was out by mid-morning to fix it. Luckily it was just a part repair for the pilot lite - and for the prompt service and installation I think anything just a little north of $100 isn't a bad deal.

We are said to have some very fair prices on service. I have been told by other hvac contractors that we should raise our service rates. That was a few years back and our pricing is pretty much the same. We tell our servicemen to do their best when out on a call and replace only the part that is bad. We offer no extra incentives for them to change out multipiple parts. We want our servicemen to be honest and fair with our customers as well has provide a excellent service at a reasonable price. We do carry regular recovery and efficiency 40 and 50 gallon water heaters in stock. The cost currently ranges from just under $800 and $900 dollars installed with regular installation. We have found that the water heaters that qualify for the rebate are much more costly (close to double) and since the unit has a inducer motor on it, the customer will pick up some extra noise in the installation area. We have found that the water heaters of today are only lasting about 7 to 10 years. We have also found that the installation of a tankless water heater is very expensive. We try to give our customers all their options and we are happy to explore items we do not typically offer. Keep us in mind for your heating, a/c, and water heating needs.

Carl came out assessed the situation and made recommendations. Once the vents were changed I noticed a little wind noise. I contacted Carl and he promptly returned my messages. He found a replacement vent for the kitchen and the problem was fixed. Great service, fair price, nice people made the experience great.

We were called out to replace a couple of vent hoods. The customer was interested in a higher quality vent termination that when the wind would kick up minimal noise would be created. We installed a higher quality dryer hood (white) with a heavier duty look. For the microwave vent we picked up a Broan (black) steel hood which has a damper with a gasket making for a tighter seal and less noise. The job went well and the customer was very happy with the work. Carl spent a little extra time finding the customer what he wanted. At our company we try to go the extra distance to satisfy out customers. We also survey many of our customers to make sure that we are doing a good job for them. Recently we have a 100% referral rating and a 98% satisfaction rating. We also recently were given a award for customer care excellence. All the workers are very friendly and willing to help our customers. We really try to go the extra distance.

We have been doing work for the customer since July of 2008. He has used us for a installation and service. On this date we serviced his boiler and a furnace in the home. The serviceman preformed 2 clean and checks and found everything to be running properly at this time. We usually send out heating clean and check reminder cards in fall. At that time we offer a discount as well. The postcard is a reminder for the customer to have their equipment serviced just before the need to use it everyday exists. We recommend that the customer have the a/c done in spring and the furnace or boiler cleaned in fall. Customers that have used us in the past get the card in the mail automatically. Remember to keep a eye out for our reminder postcard both in spring and fall.

Our house is about 100 years old, and we have radiator heat with a boiler. I got estimates for central A/C from 7 different companies. Some proposals were for conventional systems (forced air heating and cooling with sheet metal ducts), and some were for SpacePak or similar systems. I was reluctant to make a complete shift from radiator heat to forced air, and have to add all that duct work, just to get central A/C. The SpacePak system lets us keep the radiators, and still get central A/C. SpacePak uses narrow, flexible ducts that look like giant "octopus arms." Since they are skinny, they just go between the walls. So it is a big plus that there is very little disruption of layout, and hardly any loss of storage space (closets, etc.). Assured Air was very competitive price-wise, and I liked how he brought samples of the product and photos to show me. The project was started on time, and finished ahead of schedule (5 days completion instead of 6)! I am looking forward to Spring and Summer (of 2013), to really test it out.

This customer hired us to put a Space Pak system in her house. The home has radiators and the system adds central air typically without remodeling. The base price of the job was just under $14,500.00. The customer added a couple of options to tailor the system to her needs. The job took about a week and everything went has suspected. We are happy to add this customer to our list of satisfied customers and appreciate the business. During the estimate we do a very good job of explaining the system, informing the customer of how it will be installed in their home and we do show the customer some samples of material as well has pictures. When we come out to do the actual work we again go over the job and during the job our workers maintain communication with the customer. We also clean up after ourselves and at the end of the job typically only a lite dusting is needed. Back at the office we even register the customers outdoor unit. At our company we really try to go the distance for our customers.

It was pretty good each time they were out here. They went over everything in detail, recommendations and how to even do some maintenance myself so I don’t have to call them, some minor stuff. With respect to punctuality, they were here within 15 minutes of the scheduled window.
Description of Work: I used Assured Air, Ltd. for heating & a/c. They came out and serviced my furnaces and my air-conditioners.

This customer has been using us since 2011. We cleaned and checked 2 central a/c units for him. We found the outdoor units very dirty with cotton wood, which we cleaned. Everything else checked out fine and no parts were needed. We do run into dirty outdoor units quite a bit. It is a good idea for the customer to check the unit 1 to 2 times per month when they are using the a/c. The best time to do this is when the customer cuts the grass. Should you notice any dirt or debris on the coil simply take a garden hose with no adapter on it and move the water across the coil until all the dirt is washed out (on all 4 sides of the unit). To make this a trouble free and safe experience I would turn the unit off at the thermostat and the circuit breaker. We always try to give our customers little tips like the above so they are not paying for a wasted call. We also leave behind a sticker with some very good information on it. We try to be proactive in our customers needs and strive to keep their costs relative.

They installed spaecpak in our 100 year old home in Western Suburbs. This is not a cheap product, but their quote was very reasonable and cheaper than one provider by several thousand dollars. They spent a lot of time working up the right equipment and placement of the piping. The install was complicated since it was spacepak and they were onsite for several days which I appreciated since they didn't seem to be rushing to get the equipment installed. Very professional and I would use again. Spacepak is noisier and won't make your house as frigid as traditional A/C but we knew that going in and love radiotor heat. I have definitely not second guessed using Assured or getting Spacepak.

Thank you for the nice reort. This customer had the Space Pak system installed in 2007. The cost of the project was just under $14,000.00. It is a 3.5 ton system with 1 return and 20 outlets. Upon pulling their file, they did take us up in financing. Since the system was installed we have had no repair history on this job. Also no clean and check history. Just like getting an oil change on your car. We recommend getting you a/c cleaned if not yearly at least every other year. We have found that customers that do maintain their systems have less overall repair calls. Currently clan and checks on these systems run $97.99. We also do alot of boiler work and will clean and check your boiler for another $97.99 if desired. All of our customers get a reminder card mailed to their home. This is their call to action and they should book their cleaning shortly thereafter. We also offer service agreements. It is good to have one, since you get priority service over non-contract customers, discounts on emergency service and discounts on parts. Call us for all your residential and lite commercial heating and cooling needs.

This customer had a Lennox furnace and a/c replacement done by us in 2006. They also had a humidifier, media air cleaner and a digital thermostat added to the job. The equipment they purchased was a 80% furnace, and 13+ seer a/c. Cost was just under $5,000.00. In their file we did do a service call in 2010 to check the system and it ran them $60.00. This year they had us clean and check the furnace while replacing the thermostat that had went bad and caused a no heat situation. We recommend that customers have their systems clean and checked yearly, but we can show our customers a few things to check so they can have it maintained every other year if desired. Filter replacement is a very important thing to do. On a media air cleaner the customer is to check the filter for cleanliness every 3 months and replace it at least one time per year. The filters life can be extended by removing the filter and vacuuming off any visable dirt or debris. Properly maintaining any hvac system aids in less breakdowns and the equipment will meet its life expectancy. Thanks for the nice report and remember to maintain your sytem.
