FAQs
How quickly can you respond to a no-heat emergency in Rockford?
Because we have fully stocked service vehicles based right here in Rockford, a technician can usually be at your door within 2 hours—24/7, 365 days a year. During severe weather we add extra on-call techs so response times stay fast. If we can’t reach you in the quoted window, your diagnostic fee is waived—part of our customer-first promise.
What types or brands of heating systems do you repair?
Our NATE-certified team repairs every major heating technology used in Northern Illinois, including gas and electric furnaces, heat pumps, boilers, ductless mini-splits, and hybrid systems. We carry OEM and high-quality universal parts for Trane, Carrier, Lennox, Bryant, Goodman, Rheem, Amana, York, and more, so most fixes can be completed on the first visit.
How does your “customer-first” approach show during a heat-repair visit?
• Up-front scheduling: You pick the arrival window that works for you, and we text you the tech’s photo and live GPS tracker. • Transparent diagnostics: We invite you to watch our testing, explain every reading in plain language, and show you photos of any damaged components. • Menu pricing: You receive written repair options—good, better, best—before we touch a tool. No pressure, no surprises. • Respect for your home: Shoe covers, drop cloths, and a thorough clean-up are mandatory on every job. • Follow-up call: Our office checks in 24 hours later to confirm that your system is running perfectly and that you’re 100 % satisfied.
Are your technicians licensed, insured, and background-checked?
Yes. All field personnel hold Illinois HVAC licenses, are bonded and insured for both liability and workers’ compensation, and pass annual background and drug screenings. Continuous training is part of our charter, so each technician completes at least 40 hours of factory and safety education every year.
What will my heat repair cost, and do you offer financing?
Diagnostic service starts at a flat $89, which is waived if you proceed with the repair. Because every situation is unique, repair costs vary ($150–$900 on average), but you’ll receive a printed quote before work starts. We never bill above the agreed amount. For larger repairs, we offer 0 % interest financing for up to 12 months, subject to credit approval.
Do you back your repairs with any warranty or guarantee?
Absolutely. Parts are covered by a 1-year warranty (longer if the manufacturer provides it), and our labor is guaranteed for 365 days. If the same part we replaced fails within that period, we’ll fix it at no charge—nights, weekends, or holidays. Plus, if you’re not completely satisfied with our service, you don’t pay until we make it right.
