"Please Read my entire review: I had another contractor (ABC) come out to my home and told me I needed a blower motor assembly and the cost would be $1500, and was told I should also look into purchasing a new entire unit. after checking this site and seeing that the most I should pay is around $800 and confirming that the part was under $300 I decided to contact another company AIR SOLUTIONS MECHANICAL SERVICES,INC and upon arrival it took Robert approximately 12 minutes to determine that the blower motor assembly was just fine and had no problems at all and had it up and working immediately. He also determined that I had a bad capacitor which is a part I have replaced a handful of times. I really want to thank Robert and thank this company as it truly is an honest and trustworthy company that not only will I recommend to all my friends but to the Angie list community to use for all your air conditioning and heating needs as I will most definitely will be calling them for all of mine. On a side note this happened on the hottest day and week of the year and I was out of town at the time ABC Plumbing Heating Cooling & Electric 220 West Campus Drive Suite 200 Arlington Heights, IL 60004 came out to my home telling me that I needed to spend $1500 and look into purchasing a new unit which would of been as you all know at least $3000. I wanted to make sure the Angie list community was aware of this deceptive company and their deceptive practices. I also contacted them and received a response that they wouldn't pay the $225 I paid to fix the unit but again were willing to make me spend $1500 - $3000 on a repair that was 100% not necessary and not needed. They took full advantage of the weather and me being out of town to be very deceptive. I have ALL the paper work to confirm everything."
