Settled on a smaller unit over the phone but was then encouraged to bump up in size. They were unable to install new valve so had to stick with older style. Overall it went well with minor hiccups. Return call to set appointment came a day later than expected due to their being busy
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"Thank you so much for your review. We are so happy to hear that everything went well. Sizing of your humidifier is so important and we always verify the square footage of your home and base our recommendations off of Aprilaire's specifications. We are very sorry if we didn't meet your expectations in responsiveness. We received the email on 11/28 and responded on the same day so maybe there was a delay from Angie's List. We will certainly look into that. However, thank you for allowing us to provide you with indoor comfort and for being our Client!"

The installation went well. The price was advertised as $349 but the technician charged me an additional $65 to install a valve on my hot water line. The deal said that it includes al necessary hardware to do the job, but he told me this valve was required by city code an costs more.
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy to hear that your installation went well. We apologize if you feel that there was any misunderstanding in the ad. We advised in fine print that any additional part would not be covered. If you needed the valve in order to be up to Illinois plumbing code, that is a part and is chargeable and was advised upon the initial phone call. However, we would've had you sign a waiver stating that you didn't want the valve. We certainly don't ever want our clients thinking that we are hiding anything from them so we apologize tat you do. However, we promise to uphold all promises we make as our client's are our GREATEST asset! Thank you so much for choosing us and for being our Valued Client!!"

The installation itself was done correctly. But there was an issue with the total price. The deal indicated $349 for installation that included all materials and labor. They informed me that there will be another $64 for another part (a valve) which is not part of the included material or labor as it supposedly is a part and not material. I decided to go with the installation as we needed to get a humidifier either way. There was also an issue with the installation date where they had to move it another 2 weeks than the original scheduled date.

Purchased an Angie's list deal for humidifier installation of a humidifier. In the add it states that all plumbing, electrical and ducting is included. When I scheduled the install all of the sudden there is a $65.00 up charge for a valve they need to install to make it up to code. If they installed it the way it was advertised it wouldn't meet code. They would be happy to install it out of code.To me any company that would advertise work that does not meet code and offers to do work that does not meet code is terrible. Obvious bait and switch tactic to drive up the price. DO THE WORK YOU PROMISED IN YOUR AD!! Very Disappointed.
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"Thank you very much for your feedback. We are very sorry you feel this way. We understand that you had a very detailed conversation with one of our Client Care Specialists last night. It was explained to you completely. The ad is not hiding anything and is very clear. It is $65 to have your unit brought up to Illinois Plumbing Code. It is also an additional charge to upgrade from the unit that is advertised. We advised you of all of this upon the very first phone call and it was agreed upon. We also advised that, if you didn't want the valve, you would need to sign a waiver stating as such, signing off that you agreed to have the installation done without the correct valve that is required. Everything was agreed upon and explained very clearly. All labor and materials for an installation of an Aprilaire 500M is included. This is a part that is recommended for Illinois Plumbing Code. We certainly feel bad for the poor rating and if there was a misunderstanding in reading our ad. We are a quality company that doesn't hide anything from our clients. As you experienced, we were upfront and honest and, if this was not something that you felt was honest, then we certainly wouldn't do the work, yet it was agreed upon. We didn't stay in business for 30 years due to a bait and switch. We have stayed in business for 30 years because we are honest and do right by our clients. Again, we thank you for your feedback and certainly apologize that you feel the way you do."

Making the appointment was very easy, they arrived as scheduled both times, Spring & Fall, and conducted their work in a very honest and professional manner. In the past I have had a company tell me I needed a new furnace and also a new humidifier. It has been three years since then, and I still have the same furnace and humidifier. AWE is very honest and professional, and both their office staff as well as their service personnel are very courteous and professional. I will continue to use them for all of my HVAC needs!
Response from AWE Air Water Energy

I replaced the air filter and water filter myself and save more than $90. I was forced to renew the maintenance contract..
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"Thank you very much for your feedback. We have been going back and forth for a year about the unit that you purchased from us and we thought that your concern had been resolved. However, it seems that it isn't. You Googled the cost of an install. For the amount of work that we did and fixed from the other company you had out who installed your air conditioner, plus the amount of free items that you received, we were VERY fair with our pricing. As for the warranty, that was all approved by you as that is how we do business. EVERY manufacturer requires annual maintenance that is NOT part of a warranty. It's like the oil changes on your vehicles....always chargeable. We are honoring n additional 9 years onto a labor warranty if you stay on our MVP And we make sure you never miss a visit. We also realize that there is a little confusion here. Our water pads are not $59.00. We did not charge you $59.00 for a water pad for your humidifier. Our water pads are $14.00 on the MVP. The $59.00 was for a pad and a cleaning. In business, there is a cost to do business. There is overhead to have a Client Care Specialist answer your call, the building, the lights, the insurance, the tech, the vehicle, etc.....If you find the exact manufacturer's filter, please, be sure that you get it from that manufacturer because they make them to fit their equipment. A lot of the ones sold at local stores are NOT the correct size and cause leaking. However, we will always be here to help in that too! If there is anything else that we may be able to clear up for you, please don't hesitate to call us. 630-AWESOME! That's 630-293-7663. Thank you for your feedback and for being our Valued Client!"

They charged too much. I'm definitely going to be using them again because I have them scheduled to come out in October to assess my furnace. I have a contract with them.
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"Thank you very much for your feedback. We are happy that you were very honest with your grading. However, not thrilled about the F in price. We know that we are very competitive in price as we continue to research costs in the industry. We charge flat rate prices and that means that whatever you are quoted, is what you will be paying. No hidden costs. No hidden fees. Upfront and honest pricing. We see that a similar situation happened back in May 2017 when you posted the same rating on a different review site and we discounted your repairs $50.00. It seems that your units are from 2004 and 2005 and that you have payed quite a bit in repairs. We will ALWAYS give you an option of repair versus replacement and, being of the age they are, the repairs are adding up, that's why it has been so costly to you. However, it's a GREAT thing that you are on our Member Value Plan so that you are saving 20% each visit that we are called out to your home for service, and getting the diagnostic fee waived when you decided to go with the repair. We are so grateful that you are our client and we THANK YOU for continuing to trust us in your home.....since 2002 or before! THANK YOU for your continued support! We are here for every possible situation that arises with your indoor comfort and we are so grateful that you continue to be happy with our services. THANK YOU for being our Valued Client!"

The team at AWE was outstanding. The sales team, customer service, and installation group was stellar. We do our homework on home purchases, and the team at AWE actually welcomed the questions and provided thoughtful and thorough responses. Even during the install, they made it a point to let us know what was going on and why.

I have used A.W.E for many years and have always found them to be responsive and professional. They arrived on time and did my annual furnace service. I have a maintenance contract with them, so everything was covered under that.
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"Thank you so much for your review! We are always happy to hear from our MVP Clients. We are so happy that you recognize the importance of having annual maintenance done on your heating and cooling system. It not only keeps your units running up to manufacturer's standards, but it also helps us catch any potential situations that may arise, so you don't get caught in a situation where you may have a problem with the unit.

The installation itself was fine. I originally went with AWE because of all of the comments about great customer service. After using a brand new AC unit for 2 months, the unit stopped working, leaving an error code about a blower malfunction. I called the code in to the office, where someone instructed me to turn off the unit (which cleared the code), They sent a technician the next day. When technician arrived, the unit was working fine - with no sign of the error code. I was charged an $89 service fee because there was no code. Not sure why I needed to pay for that - did they think I made up the legitimate code number? They said if the code ever appeared again I wouldn't be charged. How about not charging me this time and charge me if the issue persists? Especially for a client who dropped 12 grand on a brand new furnace/AC unit, plus another grand for a sump pump, and also pays monthly for the maintenance program. Can you say "nickel and dime?" Very short-sighted of the company to collect the $89, but lose the support of this client.
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"Thank you SO much for your feedback. We will definitely look into this for you. We do apologize for the misunderstanding. However, our technician did find a dirty filter and that is not covered under warranty. With that being said, our Office Manager did void your transaction so you were not charged the $89.00. We, as a company, need to know situations like this when they arise so thank you for letting us know. Though, we would've rather appreciated a phone call as opposed to coming on here to vent when the situation was already handled and no money was charged, but we understand you frustration and we thank you again! We thank you for your honesty and for being our Valued Client!"

got an estimate to replace almost everything on the system for about $2000, paid the inspection fee, about $89 Called another ac outfit I used before, they came out right away, added freon for about the same cost as the above inspection. Freedom AC & Heating
Response from AWE Air Water Energy
"We certainly thank you for your feedback. In reviewing the invoice from 6/14/17 and the recommendation sheet left, there isn't any pricing that adds up to $2000.00. It is our responsibility, as the trustworthy and honest company that we offer repair versus replacement. The highest amount quoted was for the leak search and R22 refrigerant. There was an option sheet given with 3 different options to repair your system the correct way, not to just add refrigerant, leave and have you call us because it leaked out again, which seems that this other company may have done. We have policies and procedures that our highly trained technicians follow and we do it right the first time, or you get a manager to come to your home at no charge. We hope that everything works out for you and that your unit is, indeed, repaired. Please call us for any future services that you may need. Thank you for your feedback and best of luck!"
