I needed service about a month or so ago and have been meaning to leave this review for Riley. I couldn't have asked for a better person to assist me with getting my issue resolved. He not only explained to me what was going on, but saved me a significant amount of time and money in the process. Thank you Riley for all your work!

Advantage did the initial installation of our furnace/air condition in our new home 3 years ago and I have continued to use them as my preferred contractor for preventive maintenance since that time. During our recent Preventive Maintenance to ensure we were ready for the summer air conditioner season, a problem with a water line developed that was unrelated to Advantage's actual service call. However, Mike Rosato, our Service Representative, immediately took it upon himself to make contact with a Plumber who was able to come and fix the problem within hours. Mike and Advantage went above and beyond in ensuring that our problem was resolved. He and his colleague, who was in training, were the utmost professional throughout the entire process and the follow up by Mike was excellent. This is why I have used Advantage for the past 3 years and will continue to use Advantage for all of my HVAC service needs in the future.

Excellent, quality service! Ventura installed a new humidifier system. He took the time to explain what he was going to do, and afterwards how to run the system effectively.

I noticed water on the floor in my utility room and figured it was coming from my humidifier. Ventura determined the small hose within the humidifier had a crack. He replaced that part, performed seasonal fine tuning on my 14 yr old furnace and had my systems up and running in no time. Very professional service and company. At last I have a HVAC company I am confident knows what they are doing. Thank you!

Eric is very efficient, he has done work for us previously and we have always been very pleased with his work. He always explains what he has done and if any additional work needs to be done. When he has completed his task, he always asks if we have any questions or if there is anything further he can help us with. During this pandemic, he had his mask on at all times even when working on the air conditioner. He also did the required distancing. GREAT JOB

So, our new sub-division had a power surge or something... As far as I know there was about 15-20 homes with no heat on the coldest night of the year. I called and he had said I was the 5th to call with the same issue. He was out in no time and was able to get us up and running in no time. Im sure it was a longer night for him than the rest of us. He was very polite and understanding of the situation we were in. Great guy, great service. Jerry, thank you sir. My 2 very young children were able to sleep in their warm beds in their warm home because of you. I will refer you to anyone I come across needing HVAC product and or service.

I had the best service ever from Advantage. The serviceman arrived right on the minute as promised. Went right to work, found the problem, and fixed it. Made no mess at all. All in a timely amount and at a reasonable charge. Very knowledgeable. I didn't know how cold the house was until the heat came back on. Thanks so much.

Jerry was a "unique" technician. Not only was he very personable but also very knowledgeable! Where technicians informed me that it was impossible to install a humidifier in our home, Jerry reviewed the situation, determined a plan, executed it and Installed a humidifier. Your organization is fortunate to have an employee such as Jerry. It would seem to me that he would also be invaluable in training other techs you have but do not have the experience and knowledge that Jerry has

We've had the same team (under prior company names as well) taking care of our HVAC for over a decade now. Referred by a neighbor a long time ago, they are helpful, proactive and trustworthy. I know they're trustworthy because they talked me OUT of installing a whole house humidification system a few years ago given that we had such hard water. Not only would they have made a sale installing, they'd have made money for years trying to keep the stupid thing running lol. When we replaced our furnace and a/c they did the work to size the system property (to avoid short cycling), they discussed with us which systems were most cost effective, balancing performance and reliability against the bottom line, and so on. This visit, a simple winter tuneup, they showed me the best way to handle the batteries in our new fancier thermostat. It's a wonderful thing when you can trust a service professional to be competent and NOT talk you into service or systems you simply don't need, while still informing you about the pros and cons of proactive work. A hard balance and they do it well. I love these guys.

We are so pleased with the exceptional job Jerry Saenz did installing our humidifier. He made sure everything was working properly and explained what we needed to do to turn it on/off and the maintenance of it. All questions were answered by him and we feel comfortable taking care of the humidifier. You have a great employee to be proud of.

I just wanted to let you know how pleased I am with my new AC and furnace installation from Advantage Contract Solutions. Your sales manager Randy and service tech Jerry are true professionals. Their knowledge and expertise were very evident from the very start of the whole process. In addition to giving them huge kudos for their excellent workmanship and professionalism, I want to express my appreciation for the extra effort they put in during the AC install, by staying late to make sure I would have AC in time for an upcoming warm and humid spell. Your company would come highly recommended by me to anyone in need of heating and air conditioning services and I would also recommend they request Randy and Jerry!

I had Advantage put in a new system (A/C and furnace) at my house. Maria set me up with Randy and then Randy took over. I have to tell you that I was extremely impressed with how Randy handled things. He obviously knows his stuff and was the least pushy contractor that I’ve ever dealt with. Randy offered us multiple different solutions – including fixing our 45 year old system. He gave us the pros and cons in a very unbiased manner. Although I thought of the old system as my personal science experiment, I knew in my heart that it was finally time to say goodbye. After we made the decision, Randy did his best to get his guys out here ASAP given that we were w/o any A/C. We are very happy with the new system and it’s running like a champ. I just wanted you to know that your people are fantastic!

So my air hasn't been working for about 2 weeks. I called Advantage Contractor Solutions (847-841-8905) and they sent Eric Sensor out to look at my problem. Apparently when I built the shop walls, I pinched a wire that lead to the condensor. DOH! Eric found and fixed the problem quickly without making me feel like an idiot!. He was great! I highly recommend them for your next HVAC job!!

The crew of Jerry and Nick were very, very professional. Did quality work, checked their work, explained things well, checked again, and communicated through out the entire process. They expertly installed a new AC, whole house dehumidifier and humidifier (plus thermostat) in about 6 hours. Plus removed old AC and humidifier. Everything was left clean. I would 100% recommend them and ACS to others, and am ready to sign up for a maintenance agreement!

I just moved into my new home in August 2018 (So I did not need to use the heat for a month or so). When I finally turned my heat on, nothing happened. I realized the temperature was dropping in my home on a Friday night about 4:30 pm. Frantic to get a hold of someone before closing time, I called Advantage Contractor Solutions. Renee was in the office until 5pm and she gave me the supervisors contact information (since no heat is considered an emergency). I was able to get a hold of Howard, the company supervisor, who was very polite and able to walk me through a couple things over the phone (basics like making sure certain knobs were turned properly, etc). We realized that one of the gas pipe knobs was not turned. Very simple fix! Howard was very responsive and thorough, even though he had about 11 other calls already lined up for the night. He assured me that if the fix was not simple, he would have been able to still be at my house that same night to further investigate. Very grateful!

I called your office yesterday after finding the packet with your company’s name and phone number on the side for our Lennox furnace which was installed a few yrs ago in our new Sweetwater subdivision house. Our furnace wasn’t working at all.
Renee was extremely helpful taking her time explaining why we should use your company (you've been in business 25 yrs, we don't offer lower initial charges for labor to come out and then charge much more on parts, we are very well versed in the 5 yr Lennox warranty). Renee then suggested that it just might be a “cleaning” issue and suggested she send someone to clean it who would then also make sure it was running well. We really appreciated that , as in our panic were thinking the worst about non-warranty labor charges. She assured me your company was honest. And we discussed the fact that after all, Pulte had chosen your company. (We’re new to McHenry County and have not had to call for any services).
Nick came out, removed his shoes and began to clean the furnace. That’s all it took as one of the holes was clogged! He suggested we clean it each year and in the spring get the air conditioning checked. Nick also told us about the contract we can get to have both checked and cleaned saving $20 each year.
Anyway, wanted to share how really happy we are that we didn’t use a random company. It seems you hire really good employees.

After receiving a quote from a local furnace service of $879 to replace the furnace collector box in my furnace. I called Advantage and asked for tech service. The next day Jerry Saenz of Advantage came out and showed me that the problem was with a leaking drain plug and the collector box was fine. He repaired the leak and informed me that the part in question is covered by a 10 year manufactures warranty. He did not charge for the service since they were the original equipment installer. I will never allow anyone other than Advantage to service my HVAC. Jerry was extremely helpful andI would trust him thoroughly. Their twice a year service contract is very good value I would highly recommend it.

Unbelievable Positive experience with Advantage Contractor Solutions. Honestly, it is the people in the organization that make it happen. This is where Jerry stepped up to the plate and hit a home run for us. Jerry is a professional, good nature, customer concentric, dedicated TEAM Member of Advantage whom went above and beyond any HVAC company I have dealt with in all of Chicago. Our story, I could tell you our story but at this time seems less relevant boring gibberish of a discussion regarding Condensers, evaporator coils, Freon and our first go to HVAC company that we use to work with. I highly recommend Jerry at Advantage for he will not leave you stranded. This is not an opportunistic company that wishes to profit on your misfortune but truly a partner in business.
Thank you Jerry for working extraordinary hours, in depth research to solve the problem expediently and caring about the cost involved.

I called Advantage Contractors for a second opinion on my A/C coil after the first opion said it needed to be replaced. Jerry set up an appointment to get it looked at and come to find out the coil did not need to be replaced. All it needed was a fitting adjustment and all was good. Had the coil needed to be replaced like the first opinion said it would have been covered under factory warrenty but I would of been on the hook for the labor. Since the coil wasn't bad after all, Advantage saved me lots of money in labor costs and they were more then fair on the repair cost! On top of that they helped me out with some registration issues on my unit that I needed to get in order. It is nice to see there are still helpful and honest people to count on. I will be using them for any future problems that my arise.

The TEAM at Advantage served us so well! From the financing to the service we've been extremely pleased with our decision to purchase from this company. The technician was knowledgeable, helpful and gracious with his time; courteous and kind. The staff is quick and efficient and they offered a 2-hr window of time for an appointment making me feel like they valued my time as well as their own. That really meant a lot to us! The technician was literally here 15 minutes. He walked in, solved the problem and spent the next 10 minutes answering my questions, again showing me that they cared about their customers. We feel we made the best decision by choosing Advantage and look forward to a long relationship and reoccurring purchases perhaps in flooring next time:)
