The Always Ready Ducts crew was very professional, cleaned up after themselves, and the ducts look great. Everything was finished in a timely manner and they were very easy to contact and set an appointment with. I would use their services again myself and highly recommend them to anyone looking to have their ducts clean!

Prompt service was provided and details were explained, along with maintenance information for preventing future problems. Pricing is better than most Vendors in the area. I have used Always Ready Repair services for more than 5 years and have made referrals in Homewood and Flossmoor Illinois.

Today's service was a quick and easy one - just replacing the humidifier pad and doing the yearly cleaning on our a/c, furnace, and humidifier system. Always Ready is the BEST!!! They are always great communicators with respect to setting up appointments - working with your busy schedule, always on time - if not early, always courteous and informative no matter how simple or complicated the job is, and always very reasonably priced. They have been my family's go-to guys for years and once I bought my own home I knew there was no one else I would call. When it came time to replace our almost 30 year old a/c & furnace, they took the time to carefully help us select which system would be the best for our home, both in functionality and price-wise, and showed us how it should be properly maintained for optimal performance. Every time they come back to check on us we're more than pleased with their work. The care and concern they show their customers is unmatched. They also have service coupons!!! Can't say enough great things about them. Call them - they'll take excellent care of you!!!

This is the third time we have used Always Ready Repair! They are excellent, prompt, and came out within 2 hour of our call. We had our gas turned off due to leaks and they fixed it and we had our gas on the same evening. THANK YOU. Our rep was extremely polite and very professional.

The technician showed up 90 minutes after I called Jason on a Saturday morning. He found the problem quickly (low on R410) and filled it. It was quick and easy and he explained what my choices are for the future with my unit.
Description of Work: Figured out the problem with my AC and fixed it. 4 months ago, my other AC unit was broken and they gave me a fair price to change it. The new one has been working great.

My old HVAC company changed their service area and I was outside their new territory. They recommended Always Ready and I gave them a shot. Very impressed by their service. They gave honest answers to my questions and did not try to push any extras. Will use them again.

C0ame out for a service call and let us know that we were going to need a new furnace and A/C unit. He gave us four different option, according to brand name and efficiency.Came back the next day when A/C stopped completely. Naturally it was in the nineties. He did temporary repairs until a new furnace could be installed for no charge.The repairman came on time and installed everything and explained the functions. They cleaned up all the mess and took the o.d units with them. They made at least four service calls over the years to fix our old furnace, and always came within an hour or less.

We called on a Friday, they came on Monday. They called before visit when they said they would, they came for visit when they said they would. He was professional and answered questions, he checked and cleaned furnace parts and performed a scan. He was here approximately 1 hour. He said he would put us on mailing list for maintenance twice a year for checkup in spring and fall for optimal performance of air conditioning and heat.

Everything was great that was performed. Always Ready Repair were prompt, courteous and they gave me a discount on an extra job so they couldn't have improved it much more. It hasn't rained yet so I don't know if the leak is going to hold up. They were prompt and on time.

My furnace began consistently not being able to keep up with the thermostat settings for heating up the house. I called Always Ready Repair. They came out the same day to troubleshoot the issue. The tech found the issue to be the furnace itself, and it needed to be replaced. The great thing about it was that I was walked through each step of the furnace heating process for my unit and was shown why it wasn't working correctly. Becase of this, I was completely comfortable with the assesment and knew it was accurate, nothing more nothing less. I went ahead and ordered a new furnace through them, and they installed it the very next day. Because of this very positive experience, I am now a committed customer to Always Ready Repair for any repairs/maintenance issues in the future, and I highly recommend them as knowledgeable, reliable, honest, and quick with their service.

Overall they were quick and cleaned up the debris from the old furnace. The furance runs longer in the winter for a 2300 s.f. home to keep the house warm that is why a 2 stage is needed, but the gas bills are a little cheaper than in previous years. One thing I did learn is that the HVAC companies make money on your old furance and your old AC units at the scrape yards. On the average it is about $200. or more per unit.
Description of Work: The furnace was not working correctly and needed work done it. They came out told me what was wrong and recommended a American Standard single stage furance. When I recently had my AC replaced the AC company said I should of had a 2 stage furance instead of a single stage to save more on my gas and electric bill. A live and learn lesson.

They weren't that good. They didn't come out the same day. The unit was low on Freon. I was three times lower on Freon and they said I was perfectly fine. I paid them $70 to come out and look at the unit where they just did maintenance. They didn't seem to know what they were doing. The system didn't last that long after they came.

The first visit he came out and did a quick diagnosis and did not charge me, which I thought was nice of them. After some work on my own, I called them back and they charged me for a service call. The price was the standard rate for the work they did and it was right in line with what anybody else would have charged me. They were very friendly and professional. They are a conscientious company. They are family owned and I would recommend them. I did refer them about 2 or 3 days ago.

My husband was out of town when our furnace stopped working. It was late at night, the kids were asleep and needless to say, I was not happy about the situation. He called Always Ready because they had 24 hour service and were local and explained our situation. I couldn't have been happier with the service I received. The servicer showed up about 50 minutes later and after just a few minutes called my husband to explain what the problem was. He fixed the furnace, cleaned up and was out of the house in just under an hour. I couldn't have been happier that it all happened so quickly. Most importantly, I felt safe while the servicer was here and my husband wasn't. Thanks Jason and Always Ready - we have told our friends and family about you.
