They did the service on a Sunday when it was about a 100 degrees outside. The kid came out and said he had never seen an air conditioner like mine and he left and did not fix it. They sent a bill for $300.00 and did not even fix anything. I did not contest it as my mother was very ill and I just wrote the check and did away with the service.
The provider's response to my rating is untrue.
There is no other company called John Cahill on Church Street in Evanston. I have lived in this town since 1964, and had always heard they had a sterling reputation. But the "work" they did for me was no work for $300. If they really cared, they could have called me and fixed the problem or refunded the money. Also, I don't believe we ever called them before because we heard they were expensive. Our regular company came out in the next couple of days and fixed the AC condenser. So we paid twice!
"We have no records of ever going there in 2009. There is one record from 05/28/2006 and a bad circuit board was diagnosed. Cost $204.00. It is possible that another co with the same name from up north (no relationship) from up north was called in error"
"I do remember this. After the second call I did return the call to the phone # left on the message. It just rang and rang without a voice mail. We were going through some phone hardware issues at the time and some messages were a bit garbled so it is possible a wrong # was written down. I do apologize as we do not like to alienate our customers ( or potential customers)"
They took out the old furnace, A/C coil, and outside condenser and installed the new system. They were very methodical in the installation, and every wire was tied back, every seem sealed, and a very professional job with everything installed exactly as promised.
Very happy with the result, and would use them again.
What I get in return, however, is prompt service, qualified plumbers and work that they stand behind. I've used Cahill for 15 years on my 1950s ranch (where every pipe, frankly, is due for replacement).
I called Cahill on a Saturday in a panic because I had no hot water and lots of cold water flooding my basement floor. I'd been through this once before--why can't hot water heater manufacturers build in a warning light when the d*** thing is about to expire??--and so I was pretty clear on the situation.
They came out right away, were extremely courteous and professional, and installed a new energy-efficient hot water heater by noon. To paint a fuller picture, both our bathrooms were under construction, I had just installed new carpeting in the basement rec room and I was feeling a little panicky at incurring yet another substantial house project (and worried about my investment in the carpeting). Their prompt response prevented my carpeting from being ruined and their positive attitude was really what I needed.
As I said, they are expensive but qualified. On the rare occasion I've had a problem with a job they did, they take care of it with little hassle. I really appreciate that in this day and age, when everyone seems to be focused on today's profits at the expense of building a long term relationship. They will continue to get my business.
Was ready to just repair faucet but that couldn't be done
wore booties to protect carpet (company policy)
finished quickly - everything needed was in the toolbox or truck
cleanup was spotless.
a bit more expensive but worth every penny.
They are certainly not the cheapest, but we get what we pay for? and when it comes to plumbing we're not taking any chances. It's that simple for us, when we need a plumber, we call Cahill.
They came out when they said they would and found out the problem. They ordered the part and came back and put it on. They did a fine job. They've done all the work on our water heater and so forth.
