We bought an Angie's List deal. They showed up on the date and time scheduled and performed the cleaning and inspection for the coupon price. No added charges. I would hire again

Very nice guy, gave us some information on furnace/AC replacement, safety tips on carbon monoxide detector placement, and cleaned the sensor. I felt like we got honest service. It was quick and well done.

Sarge was right on schedule, took care of both items and gave me some pointers on care for humidifier and condensate pump. He also explained it’d be best to wait until spring to do the a/c inspection/tune-up. I would certainly hire again!

The man on the phone was very helpful. Even though they do not do the work that I needed, he helped give me wording to search for someone. After weeks of trying to figure this out, I believe I have finally found someone. Thanks so much for your help!
Response from Freedom Heating & Cooling

"Thanks so much for the review, we're glad we were able to get you in a direction to get your problems there resolved. There are times where there are other vendors that will be more suited for your needs, and asking the proper questions will get you to what you'll need much faster, so we are grateful that we were able to help."

Freedom Heating & Cooling came out to provide an estimate to replace an old furnace and AC unit. I never received the estimate. They did call a week later to try and sell their AC tune up service. I told them I wasn't interested in the tune up and then let them know I never received my quote. They put me on the phone with another person and I was told I'd get the quote soon. Never got it. I took time off of work to be there for the estimate.

Sarge was great. Cleaned the filters and helped me know how to maintain on my own, and on what schedule. Very thoroughly cleaned the aging outside A/C unit, and let me know what to expect with its upcoming inevitable demise. Thanks!

Serviceman came and looked over the unit, and explained to me what I could do to better take care of my unit. He was punctual and took appropriate amount of time to do the work.

This is a terrific company. Easy to book, and Willie, in particular, is terrific. He explains what he’s doing, gives good tips (like use the cheaper one-month filters if you don’t have lots of pet hair), and is just an all-around nice guy. And because the technicians don’t work on commission, there is no trying to up sell or tell you that work needs to be done when it doesn’t. This was the third time we’ve used them, and I highly recommend them.
Response from Freedom Heating & Cooling

"Thanks so much for the review, we are so happy to have you as a customer because of your understanding on how everything with us really works with us. We will definitely let the tech you had mentioned know of your compliments to him, we definitely look forward to working with you more in the future."

I had an appointment set up and specifically discussed the timing of the appointment and calls regarding my work schedule when placing the appointment. They said it would not be a problem. However, they did not call within the discussed time frame and canceled the appointment without leaving any voicemails or notifications. I found out by calling them after they did not show at the specified time and was told I was marked as unavailable and the appointment cancelled for the day.
Response from Freedom Heating & Cooling

"Hello there, with regards to your appointment, on that day we had tried over and over again to reach you. You see, when we send technicians out to you, we need to confirm that you will be at the property once we start heading them over to you. Us here in the office got notice that when the technician was trying to call you, he could not get a response. When we make the appointments we always make it clear that we do call ahead of time and that there must be an answer to that phone call in order for us to dispatch our technician to you, without an answer, we cannot send a technician anyone out to you. On that day, we tried and received no answer, so we kept the technician moving to other appointments and tried to contact you after each one and to no avail. We had left messages, and called many times to make sure that we wouldn't miss you, yet we had received no answer to our attempts to contact you whatsoever until you had called at 3:05pm asking if anyone is going to show up. After many , and I mean so many attempts, we had to have our technician move on with his day to other appointments. We would have kept your appointment for that day but you did get upset and told us to cancel the appointment. In all honesty , we made every attempt, not just once or twice , but many many many times and we had received no answers to our calls. Many times, some may not answer because they do not recognize the phone # right away, and we understand that so we do leave voicemails for that reason and that is also why we tell everyone that we will be calling while our tech is on the way so it's important to answer that phone call, because without an answer we cannot send anyone by. It's a rule we need to abide by, due to the fact that technicians are expensive to keep employed, and we can not blindly send someone over without confirming that the customer is home, because many times - we had not found them to be home, even though we made the appointment at certain time windows. We do apologize for any miss-understanding,"

After Freedom did my tune up for the furnace on the 1st floor it strangely no longer blew warm air; I decided to replace it at that point because it was no longer under warranty. I decided to go with a different well-known Chicago Furnace/AC installer that I had dealt with before. It was later discovered by the furnace installer that the thermostat merely needed replacing - so an unnecessary furnace replacement was just done just to prevent future expense of furnace breakdowns. Last summer I had new A/C units installed on the 2nd and 3rd floors. My 2nd floor tenant just recently complained that there was water leaking through the ceiling of their furnace closet. I remembered that I saw the Freedom tech had disconnected the A/C PVC drain pipe for some reason while he was doing the furnace tune up for the 3rd floor but I assumed he would put it back together and re-caulk it. Since it has been hot my tenants have been running their A/C (beginning of June) which creates more condensation that drains into the PVC pipe then the kitchen drain. The drains were both rodded after the new A/C was installed so that was definitely not the issue. The ceiling above the 2nd floor furnace (and under the 3rd floor furnace) is now ruined - the plaster fell down and the joists got wet from the leak that was not immediately unnoticed because A/C units have just been turned since the beginning of June. Upon inspecting the PVC drain pipe, I discovered all of the caulk had been cut from around the pipe where it connects to the galvanized drain and not replaced. After some silicone application by myself and waiting for it to cure, the leak has stopped. I wonder what the reason would be to disconnect the A/C drain pipe if the furnace is being serviced? When the new A/C units were installed for 2nd/3rd floors and the units ran the entire summer, nobody had complained about any leaks so I do not believe that is when the problem first started. So now I have to deal with a damaged ceiling that a furnace is sitting on top of (there is a concrete block under the 3rd floor furnace) due to contractor error. I really don't appreciate my property being damaged by a careless contractor nor the headaches that I now have to deal with to fix this problem. The old saying goes, "sometimes you get what you pay for" - I am learning that the cheapest deal is not always the best one out there.
