Jose arrived at our home to replace one of our furnaces. He explained the whole process to us, time frame, etc. He was very patient and answered all of our questions. He was on time, covered flooring to prevent any damage, left the basement area and the area around the truck on the drive free of old parts, etc. He is welcome to do work in our home any time.

Once again, American Weathermakers saved the day! Have used them for over 30 years and they’ve been consistently good and very responsive in critical situations and still continue to deliver quality service. During the last sub-zero cold spell with wind chills running in the minus 30 degree range, I woke on Sunday morning, about 6am, with the house a very chilly 52 degrees. Seems the furnace was not working! Immediately called American Weathermakers and reached their answering service. A very nice lady took my information and said someone call me back. About twenty minutes later, Zlatan Pasic, their Installation Manager, called and said he was headed into the office and would be going past my home and could stop and see if he could find the problem. When he arrived, he was immediately able to solve one problem but there was a blown circuit board that would need replacing. Obviously, he didn’t have one with him but said he would check as soon as he was in the office and and let me know. Told me it would take an hour or so to get back to me because he also needed to coordinate all the service calls coming in due to the storm and cold. He called about an hour later and said they had the circuit board (!!) and as soon as a technician was free and could get to the warehouse to pick it up, they would be out. Matt Merkelz, one of their service technicians, arrived within a couple hours with the part and up had the unit up and running in short order. By late afternoon, my house was once again warm and snuggy!

Corey Krause was at my home to tune-up and check my boiler which was installed in October 2022. He performed his work efficiently and I am satisfied with American Weathermakers and Corey's work. I do like your commercials on WGN radio. I also referred my daughter for a new furnace with you.

Didn't go well. They don't stand behind there work. Very unprofessional.
Response from

"Looked into the situation, I will reach out today. Looks like all conditions in and around boiler were documented both in November 2022 when installed and then the follow up trip in March 2023 to look at the domestic water pipe issues. We can help solve those as well. Our offer still stands to resolve the plumbing issues. 6/14/2023- Install manager spook with customer. They decided not to have us assist them with leaking pipes. If that changes we are ready to assist."

I asked them for a receipt in detail for future reference, and they said they will send it by mail, no receipt came, so I called and spoke to 2 people in American Weathermakers, and asked for an actual receipt, and they said they will send a receipt, I received a blank receipt with my name is written wrong, there was no phone number on it, and so I called to ask for an itemized receipt, asked for the credit the $30.00 that was promised, but they said the original price was $288, but the actual payment I made was $258, Bad attitude of this provider. The way I was treated was not acceptable, so I do not like these people. They should give out a receipt right after the service just like a car repair does, and not run after them for a receipt and deal with Miss America and her bad attitude.
Response from

"[Member Name Removed], I apologize for all the run around. I will look into this and get everything corrected on your service ticket. Also I will review the phone call with the office to see why a simple request wasn't fulfilled. Will follow up with you directly soon."

We hired American Weathermakers to come rewire our heater in Sept 2021, here we are not 90 days later and the wiring is failing. A call to Am Weathermakers has them telling us we must pay a new service fee just to get someone out to fix the mess. We keep getting fed the line of “it’s most likely a new problem”, it’s not, it’s the wiring, the same brand new wiring installed in Sept. Don’t make the same mistake we did, find someone who will stand by their work instead of jabbing you with paying for service calls from jobs not done correctly.

This is a horrible company that does not stand by their work. Flooded our basement by installing our sump pump wrong and then saying it wasn't their fault. They cam out and did the start up and told us we were all set. Then our basement flooded. Their service guy was in our sump room for 20 minutes and told us it was not installed correctly and they would make it right - but the next day said he was not in the room for 20 minutes fixing their mistake. The owner told us they were not going to do anything and to call our insurance company since the basement will probably mold. Shysters.
Response from

"There we a lot of mitigating circumstances related to this incident. I am very concerned that things weren't more clear. We absolutely would take responsibility if it was our fault, for fairness we had to let it go to the insurance company to make sure that you'd be taking care of and that someone impartial could decide fault. Three months between install and issue with multiple people other than use looking at it, it just does not make sense. We stand behind out work. I'm sorry it came to this, this is very uncommon."

American Weathermakers did a great job replacing a damaged cooling line to our outdoor compressor. Was on time and came in under the original projected cost by about $100.

American Weathermakers installed a new furnace, new humidifier, and new ductwork for the exhaust. The job was performed professionally, on time, and cleanly. Would recommend and hire again.

I have been a customer of American Weathermakers in Chicago since 2005. As a Comfort Club member, they come twice a year for maintenance on my hot water heater, furnace, humidifier, and air conditioner. The annual maintenance has extended the life of these items. The technicians and office folks have always been experienced and professional in all conversations. In July 2020, they installed an Aprilaire Model 1410 Air Purifier onto my furnace. Now that I am working from home full time I was looking for ways to improve my indoor air quality. In December 2020, it was time to replace my 15-year-old hot water heater. The hot water tank was starting to get a bit corroded on the top and I deiced to replace it before I was forced to replace it. For both visits, the technician adhered to Covid protocols. The work was done quickly, efficiently, and the work area was cleaned up before they left. They walked me through the products before leaving. I will continue to use American Weathermakers for my HVAC needs. Thank You American Weathermakers!

Absolutely perfect! The new boiler and the boiler room around it looks gorgeous, the piping is perfect and has cutoff valves to simplify maintenance (if ever a component requires repair). From the outside door all the way to the boiler, every area was left clean and neat. Most importantly, every area of our home has the exactly perfect amount of heat (That is radically different from the old system!) Finally, their team was fantastic to work with. They answered every question, asked for our preferences, and never stopped their work pace. And they were great individuals!

I called at 3:00 PM and they had a technician at our house by 5:00 PM. He wore a mask the entire time he was in the house. He quickly diagnosed the problem. He explained what was wrong and did the repair. By 5:45 we had s working furnace.

It went very well, thanks and bravo! to Jose Lara, our friendly and expert American Weathermakers installer. We also appreciate our regular service technician who recommended replacing our water heater, 16 years old with Rheem, a top rated brand. Thanks for providing us great, responsive service for over 20+ years.

Have used for over 30 years. Have been great for furnace replacement and maintenance and A/C replacement and maintenance. Also used them to do my last water heater replacement. They also take care of the central humidifier and air cleaner. Love the Comfort Club for the ease of scheduling all annual servicing.
