Illiana came to fix our 2nd floor A/C unit that was leaking. The tech, Jim, said he there was a blockage in the drain line and that he would get it cleared by blowing it out. He blew it out---ALL OVER OUR MASTER BATHROOM!!! It was a complete eruption of the sink drain! Smelly, black, grimmy, and grotesque slime coated our custom walnut vanity cabinets, granite countertops, tile floor, walls, ceiling, mirrors, light fixtures, doors, clothes, cologne/perfume bottles, makeup, and my $5000 hearing aids and charger were submerged in sludge. RUINED. I immediately sent photos and video to their office and explained the situation to one of the girls that took my call. I then asked Jim what he was going to do and he said that there was nothing he can do about it, but someone would call me tomorrow. He then told me to have a good night and he left. As he walked away, I asked if he was just going to leave this mess for my wife and I to deal with and he said it wasn't his fault, and nothing he could do about it. He got in his truck and drove away. I called the office and Mary (general manager) said that she was aware of the situation and had spoken to the owner, but there wasn't anything else they could do about it. I asked if a cleaning crew was on the way to handle the mess Jim caused, and she said that she hadn't been advised to do anything about the situation. I asked to speak to the owner, but she said that wasn't possible. She said there wasn't anything else they could do, but she would try an have someone call me tomorrow. I asked her what we were supposed to do with the disaster left by the exploded sink drain, and she said that she didn't understand what I wanted done, but it was too late in the day for them to do anything. It was about 4pm CDT. We ended the call. I called Americlean and they showed up in under an hour to clean and sanitize the bathroom. $958.63 for the three-hour cleaning, $600 worth of makeup and perfume in the trash, $5000 hearing aids ruined, and several other minor incidental damages. Illiana never called us. Worst customer service imaginable. Unspeakable way to be treated. My wife and I are frustrated beyond description. Had it not been for the hearing aids, we likely would have just accepted it, but because of the lack of response, lack of accountability, and cost of the damages they caused we are pursuing legal action against Illiana. Check out the photos of this disaster that we posted in our Google review!

There was an unfortunate accident that occurred while clearing this customer's drain out. Due to the size and nature of the accident we elected to have our insurance cover the damages. We have been in consistent communication with the customer throughout the process, contrary to their assertion we have ignored and abandoned them. While we wish this unfortunate accident had not occurred in the first place, we are not behaving in the manner portrayed in this review and hope the overwhelmingly positive review from hundreds of other customers can serve to portray how we treat our customers

This was the worse company I have ever worked with. It started with them not getting the proper permits even though I reminded them many times they needed them. Then they failed the inspection from the HVAC inspector miserably. They were going to leave a huge hole in my ceiling. When they finally passed, but the system is worthless. They have come back a few times and have not been able to get the system to work as they promised. The A/C cannot even maintain 10 degrees below outside temps and they promised 30. They first blamed my filter. Then the unit which they turned the blower way up on so it sounds like a jet engine. Finally my insulation which, I made them well aware of from the beginning, and was assure it would just not be as efficient but give me the desired 30 degrees below outside temp I needed. They also added 2 new runs into a room that are completely ineffective. They promised to make sure I had enough CFM in there but never checked it as they promised they would. I would never use them or recommend them. I WASTED MY MONEY on them, the new system is as loud as my old one because they had to crank the blower up to try to get the little cooling I do.

Everything was fine until I looked at the furnace diffuser they installed on the side of my house. It's a big white diffuser drilled through the side of my house at eye level. I asked Dan if we could change the color and make it less of an eyesore. Or even lower it a few feet. He said the only color it came in was white and he would ask his installer if we could move it, I waited a week or two and never heard from him. I had to reach out to him again and he said he I could stop over and have a look at it so it looks like I'll have to take another day off work.

Excellent in all aspects, from the quality of their equipment to the technical proficiency and professionalism of their technicians.
Description of Work: I have been using ILLIANA HEATING & A/C INC for a number of years, with very satisfactory results. They started by servicing the existing equipment and over time, as the equipment were getting older, we replaced both the furnace and the air conditioning units. Their quality of work is top of the line and their responsiveness is excellent!

The were good. For price I don't have a lot of comparison, I think they do good so price isn't much of a concern. They put the furnace in this house, but that was a long time ago like 18 years or so. I think they are fair and honest.

They charged $99 per furnace. That's who I use. I think they are knowledgeable, competent and thorough with their work. They are very open to explain if the consumer may have a question about their furnace or air conditioning units. I have two furnaces and two air conditioners so it took them about two hours to maintenance my furnaces.

I needed the air ducts cleaned so I called Illiana. Pam was very courteous over the phone and gave me an exact quote along with several discounts and was able to send someone over the following day. Zach did a very good job in cleaning all the air ducts with the exception of one in the kitchen. He offered a fair explanation as to how the duct was at a steep angle so that getting the brush in there was not possible without damaging the equipment. He offered advice on filters and other explanations before the work was done so that there were no suprises. Overall, I am very satisfied and would use the company's services in the future.

I have been using them for at least 10 years. They have a maintenance contract. When you don't know what you are doing, like me, they come in twice a year to clean my air conditioner and furnace. With the furnace I kind of feel like they saved my life because they told me there were some cracks in my heat exchanger that were emitting carbon monoxide back into the house, which I did not know, so I had to get a new furnace lickety split. That maintenance contract helped me a lot because I probably would not have done it and maybe died in my house. He even showed me what was going on. I pay $200 for my maintenance agreement.

From the minute I called, everything went extremely well. The ladies that took my call Mary and Pam were extremely helpful. Called at 08:06 am. Expected arrival time was between 09:30-10:30 am. Was called back at 08:32 to say a Tech was on his way. The Tech, Kevin Parsley, arrived shortly thereafter. Kevin was very polite and efficient. He was done in less than an hour. Illiana Heating and A/C installed a whole house system in our house in Calumet City back in the 80's. I was extremely happy with them then and are still extremely happy with them now. The price indicated was minus a 10% percent discount on the total bill, not just the service call, for Angie's List Members.
Description of Work: Checked out our A/C. Found it was low on charge. Recharged the system.

It was great. He was very professional and the price is reasonable I guess. The extra work was fine because we were selling the house so we just want to make sure that there’s nothing major issue. Their prices are not cheap but they are not super expensive. The price is slightly higher price for the job. The guy who came in, he was a very friendly guy. He was punctual.

First, let me apologize that you had a poor experience with our company. It is our goal to help customers that find themselves in less than ideal situations and help get them back to happy and safe. Unfortunately that's not what happened in your case. You called our company on October 27th, 2014 and said you have a zone heating system that was not working and needed to have it looked at. On October 29th, we sent one of our qualified technicians to your home to diagnose the problem that was keeping your home from being heated properly. Because we needed to send a technician to diagnose the malfunction of an existing system, it was subject to our regular service and diagnostic charge. The technician arrived at your home and spent over an hour and a half going over your system to determine the cause of the problem and the reason you did not have proper heating in your home. It was the technician’s determination that the problem with your system was not simply a matter of replacing malfunctioning parts, but rather the overall design and configuration of the ductwork was what contributed to the failure of the system and was causing the system to not deliver proper operation of your HVAC system. It was the technician's and our company's recommendation that the larger issue of the ductwork configuration needed to be addressed and rather than just putting a "bandaid" fix on the issue it would be more appropriate to have our comfort consultant out to the home to review the needed changes and associated investment. However, this happened to be at the end of October, our busiest time of the year. Our installation schedule was pushed out over 2 weeks for the next available appointment and we could not tackle a large ductwork modification project at the time. The sales manager left a voicemail with the homeowner explaining the situation and asked that they call with any questions or call back in a month or so if they would like us to work on their ductwork project. In hindsight, we should have done better getting them up and heating and addressed the larger issues at a later time. We did not hear from the homeowner until they completed a customer satisfaction survey in which they indicated they were very dissatisfied with Illiana Heating. Our sales manager followed up with the woman of the house and she indicated she was upset that we had been unable to perform the repair, had left a voicemail message, and had charged a service call for initial visit despite not fixing anything. The sales manager explained that at the time of the initial call we were simply unable to perform the work they needed done to properly repair their system. He apologized for leaving a voicemail, but the customer had received it as they indicated in both their initial survey and the follow up phone call. Finally, he sent a gift certificate in the amount of the service call to the customer for use with future services at Illiana Heating as a show of good will, despite the technician having been at the home for more than an hour and a half diagnosing the issues and talking with the customers about them. The homeowner had elected to get another company to make some repairs to the system and were not interested in us performing any ductwork modifications. At this time it was thought that the customers concerns had been addressed and the customer agreed to be resurveyed. I can only assume they did not intend to give us the same rating they had the first time. Unfortunately due to a change in our survey system I am not able to see what the results of that resurvey. Once again, I apologize this is how things have turned out. In hindsight, we should have done something more immediately to get your heat working and scheduled the more extensive work at a later time. That might have been the conversation if we had received a call back, but that is water under the bridge at this time. If there is anything we can do to convince you we are not an “F” company, please give me a call to discuss it. Call the office and ask for Kevin.

They were wonderful. We have a duplex apartment across the street from our house and they put a furnace in each side. They were professional. Once the heating came on, they had to adjust something and once he air conditioning came on, they had to come back and adjust something on one side and they did that without any problem at all. They came out when they were supposed to. They did fine. They knew what they were doing.
