Saturn Heating Cooling and Electrical Services has been a trusted service partner for homes and businesses for 25 years. Serving the west, northwest, and southwest suburbs of Chicago for electrical services, backup power generators, electric vehicle chargers and heating and cooling.

"Initially contacted Saturn on 12/21/2021 and scheduled a tech visit. On 12/24 or 12/27, a tech stated that we needed a new engine or a new generator but was unable to provide additional information on where to purchase. I researched and determined that a comparable generator would take 4 to 6 months to arrive but found a new engine from an aftermarket supply outlet. I ordered the engine with a 30 day return option costing $750. I advised Saturn and scheduled an appointment for the tech to install on 1/13/2022. This appointment had to be rescheduled for 1/27/2022 to due to Covid affecting Saturn's workforce. That appointment was also missed. On 2/1/2022, two techs arrived and determined that a new engine was not needed but a new starter and gas valve were necessary. Unfortunately the 30 day return policy on the new engine had already expired. I was told an estimate would be completed for me to review. On 2/7/2022 I called the Saturn office and told them I was still waiting for an estimate. A service call was eventually scheduled on 2/22/2022 for 3/2/2022. I never received an estimate for parts and labor. The tech that performed the service that day replaced parts and performed multiple successful tests but left before I could speak with him. One week later the generator failed a test start. I tried contacting the tech to get some troubleshooting suggestions but he didn't return my call. I called the office and was told they would contact the tech. That was the last time I spoke with anyone a Saturn. On 3/14/2022 I contacted another vendor who was able to send a tech on 3/28/2022. He determined that spider webs in the gas valve needed to be cleaned out (an issue that was supposedly addressed by Saturn) and the automatic voltage regulator wasn't working. I ordered and replaced the AVR and the generator has been running fine since. On 6/27/2022 I was emailed an invoice automatically generated by QuickBooks dated 3/22 and due on 5/11 for $906 ($418 parts/$489 labor). I emailed them back that they never presented an estimate nor finished the job and asked them to contact me to discuss. No contact was made so I sent Saturn a check to pay for parts. Two more invoices were automatically sent for $489. I gave up and paid the invoice this week. Seeing how I unnecessarily purchased a new engine, the long time lag in service visits, didn't get an estimate, had no follow-up when informed the generator wouldn't start after repairs plus no communications concerning billing, I will not be using Saturn again."

At Brian and Sons, we are continuing to move forward and strive on the promise of always providing first-rate service and professionalism to our customers. Our devoted staff is continuously staying up to date on the new, and ever-changing, HVAC industry so that we will always provide the best service we can. Honesty and quality work by people who care. We care about you and the services we provide with no high pitched sales. We service our customers and stand behind the services we provide. Additionally, we can offer a 2 year warranty on the change out of OEM parts. Additional address - 2284 Cornell Ave Montgomery IL 60538. The cost is determined on a job by job basis. Lastly, we offer 0%, no credit check, financing, fixed and leasing programs, and funding for commercial sites!

"I would steer clear. 1. Pay with check discount is not guaranteed. We had a service done in mid-February, and were mistakenly charged the full amount, even though we were told we would receive a 3% discount. We were then told they would mail a check. No luck. Debbie has my Zelle QR code and info and still refuses to refund the overcharge. She would rather argue than honor her discount. 2. Does not stand behind their "100% Money-Back Satisfaction Guarantee on Service." We had an error code on our furnace. Tech came out and diagnosed as a bad inducer. We believed him and purchased a new one. They installed it right away and also did an inspection. Total was about $1100. Steep, but not bad since the tech said that should get us a few more years on an 18 y.o. furnace. The inspection went well and we were happy. Next day the error code was back. Different tech came out and diagnosed as a control board issues. $900 to fix. Ouch. He was at the house for a long time to do the diag. After asking for detailed information, Debbie refused to give any insights and lied to us about not being charged any mark up on the inducer. At this point I was definitely not satisfied! The more questions I asked to get to the truth, the more Debbie blamed us for the age of our furnace. I asked for a refund of the service and told her she could come get the part once we received the refund. This was because we STILL had not gotten the check discount she promised us! The part was charged at $600+ so the remaining amount for the service is $475 which includes the inspection that failed to find the control board issue. That and the check discount comes to $500. on a nearly $1100 bill. But Debbie would rather blame us for asking questions and not being grateful for the time they spent NOT FIXING THE ISSUE! Debbie lied to me when she said she would give the refund and come get the inducer. She has gone back on her word and refuses to make it right according to her own posted "promise." Debbie can send the refund amount through Zelle or bring a check when she picks up the inducer to resolve this issue. The BBB has now directed me to the IL Attorney General."

"Fantastic. Marty got us a quote the day I called him and followed up with me the next day to make sure I got it. The other two companies I called never even called me back. Marty was quick to come out to our house (the day after we called and confirmed we'd like to move forward with Alternating Current) and get our power back. He knew that without our power we were basically homeless so did everything he could to get to us and get us back on the grid."

Generator Install questions, answered by experts

Yes. You can connect your home back-up battery to a generator with its designated charger. Be sure that the output of the generator matches the input requirements for the battery for best results.

When properly maintained, natural gas generators can last a long time, as much as 20 to 40 years. They have relatively few needs compared to generators with other fuel types. However, the generator’s lifespan ultimately depends on how often the generator is used and for how long it’s left running.

In some situations, yes. Never try to put biofuel into any home generator without checking the specifics first. If a generator has the ability to run on diesel, it can also run pure biofuel (the clear kind made from seed oils, for example). But if you are using biofuel made from animal fats or vegetable oils, the generator will need significant modifications before it can handle a sludgier type of biofuel.

A home that is 2,500 square feet will likely need a 20kW to 25kW generator. Consult your local generator installer to confirm the generator size needed to power your home before purchasing a new one. Be sure to consider how much power your necessary devices need to run.

In many cases, you’ll need a permit or basic inspection to install one of these large generators. Since they include significant alterations to your home electrical system and many produce exhaust fumes, local governments often require jumping through a few hoops for general safety purposes. Your installer may be able to help you with these permits.
