Do not use Lake Effect - zero response and my newly installed AC still doesn't work despite reaching out through all means of communication since March (it's now 7/6/25). They will not even call back - completely MIA.

The job was done properly. Unfortunately, it appears the leak was larger then we thought and the problem occurred two weeks later.

They did a great and very thorough job and didn't nickel-and-dimed. They did everything from checking the vents topping up the Freon, and even washing the cotton weed out of the unit and the price was a lot lest costly than the people I had hired a couple years before who didn't do anywhere near as thorough a job

The technician took the time to explain, in terms I could understand, what he was doing and why. He also explained the in and out and care and feeding of a boiler and hot water system so I would not unintentionally screw it up in my ignorance.

Other contractors (not from Home Advisor) wanted double the price for service call. Lake Effect Heating and Air arrived on schedule and stayed until the job was done. I am very satisfied with the work they did (my heating boiler wouldn't stay lit, it required new valve and cleaning of the pilot assembly)

He was knowledgeable, skilled, best-priced and fixed my problem. The inflation of the price was due to the cost of the part. I'd work with him again.

I listed on HomeAdvisor and had a call from Scott at Lake Effect Heating & Air within 10 minutes of my post. Talked to Scott on Tuesday late; he was at my house Wednesday afternoon. On time; super nice guy; told me a lot of facts about the A/C unit that I didn't know, and completed the work within about an hour. Good & fair pricing from what I found from other companies. Would definitely recommend. Great customer service.

He came out very quickly, told us how much ahead of time for service and when we needed a part the cost before he fixed it. Very quick and professional I would highly recommend and if I need help I will call again.

Scott was efficient, thorough and and friendly. I appreciate that he arrived when he said he would and explained my problem which was just a simple cleaning. He didn t try to sell me anything that I didn t need in fact he made suggestions on how to make my furnace work more efficiently. Awesome customer service!!! I will definitely call him again if I need him and also refer him to my friends and family.
