Top quality at a fair price. Eli always returns my calls in a very reasonable timeframe. I would call any one else.

A friend recommended Elie to us. I have five rental units, several with old furnaces and ac units, and needed a trustworthy, reliable hvac person who was reasonably priced. Over the last eight years, I have used Comfort Zone numerous times, including a new furnace in my own unit recently. I cannot recommend Elie enough. Out of all the contractors, maintenance, and repair people I have used, he has been the best by far. read more

Eli and his crew were very professional, and they were always responsive to our questions and concerns. We would absolutely hire them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality workmanship. read more

Highly recommend. Comfort Zone does a really great job. You can trust them. Takes care of the problem fast & very affordable!!

Eli has helped me twice now with repairs, first a new HVAC and then recently my furnace. I can tell huge difference between these large businesses (four seasons) vs. Eli (comfort zone) and the service and care they provide. You can't even compare...Go with Eli every time. Highly recommend! read more

Furnace went on the Fritz today and I learned my furnace guy for the last ten years left the business. I connected with Elie at Comfort Zone and he came out same day. Elie was a super nice guy, professional, and with over 35 years of experience, knew his stuff. He fixed me up with a rebuilt motor and my Bryant is purring like a kitten. Thank you again Elie for helping me out in a jam and I am so glad I now have you as my new HVAC expert! Highly recommended A++ read more

In response to the excuse made for my last 1 star review.....I called and said my furnace would cut out regularly. So the heat stops working daily. Yes when people call about furnace issues it's typically because it isn't producing heat. That's pretty much all furnaces do. So the excuse here is I somehow used the wrong terminology? What's the excuse for multiple no show/ no call on service days? What's the excuse for not responding to texts when I was asked to text? I own multiple properties & deal with contractors regularly. I've never seen this level of rudeness to a customer from another hvac company. I thoroughly stand by the 1 star review. I only wish I could give 0 stars. read more

Highly recommend. Elie was very pleasant to work with. Communicated well and was very polite. He came out on a snowy day and wore shoe covers to prevent from tracking it in the house. He quickly diagnosed my issue and fixed it with no effort to oversell on anything. He walked me through everything and answered all questions very clearly before heading out. Great experience. read more

Called Comfort Zone heating with an emergency furnace breakdown the day before NYE. Quick diagnostic. Parts weren't readily available due to the holidays, but I appreciate the prompt responsiveness and clear communication. Comfort zone made an earnest effort to source and install repairs in as timely as possible manner as possible. read more

Elie was so fast to assess the problem, completed the repairs quickly and explained everything we needed to know about what he did. Super reasonably priced, honest, local business. Couldn't recommend more. read more

After a couple weeks of my furnace acting up, it finally stopped starting. I called Comfort Zone around Noon on Saturday, they answered promptly, set an appointment for that afternoon at 2pm, showed up on time, and were efficient, courteous, and professional. Eli listened to my issue, diagnosed the problem quickly, and was able to make the needed repair. He also advised on how the furnace was functioning, what could cause the problems, and advised to schedule a tune up again in the Fall. We also discussed replacement costs, at my request. He did not push replacing the machine, but did provide information I requested and answered a number of questions. The price was more than fair for a last minute appointment on a freezing cold January day. I highly recommend Comfort Zone. read more

Over the past few months our heating/air conditioning blower was not working. At the start of the fall season, the blower decides to have a heart attack. We had Deljoe come out and give us an estimate of what the job would entail and they told us we needed a whole new system. To replace the blower would have been over $1,300. Deljoe tried to sell us on getting a whole new system that would have cost more than 6K. So, we didn't do anything for several months. Decided to look a little more closely at what it would cost to just replace the blower and discovered it would be less than $700. I called Eli and on the same day he came out. After having services being done by Deljoe, my expectations were not that high. Elie went straight to work and discovered other issues that were created by Deljoe, such as wires being disconnected from the thermostat making it virtually impossible to turn the heating on. We have Ecobee as our thermostat, but he was not able to figure out why the thermostat was not working. Throughout the entire time he was there he kept me informed of what he was doing and why. Was very helpful, knowledgeable and thorough. read more

Thank you, Elie and COMFORT ZONE HEATING for your prompt response and your constant effort in always explaining the repairs and maintenance needed. You are highly dependable and knowledgeable. There's no other company I would work with, other than COMFORT ZONE HEATING. Highly Recommended. 10 out 10! read more

Comfort Zone came out and fixed my broken furnace. I called at 9am, they were at the house by 10:30am, and done before noon. They are speedy, efficient, friendly, knowledgeable, and professional - Great experience! read more

I called Comfort Zone on Saturday morning and Elie came over within a few hours on the timeframe he advised. He was very professional and methodical in helping sort out the issue with my AC that suddenly stopped the night before during a heatwave. He pointed out the issue with the condensation build up that tripped the sensor and caused the AC to shutdown. He also did a thorough job with the AC unit that badly needed cleaning and replaced the insulation of the pipes. I definitely recommend Elie! read more

After it being so cold, I couldn't handle not having heating. The furnace in one area wasn't working correctly, and a thermostat hadn't been working in another, so although I ignored the thermostat for the second furnace I couldn't have no heat at all. Thankfully they were able to come out the next day and get everything fixed up. New blower motor, new thermostat, and everything was good as new--and warm! He had booties which I asked if he would wear when he entered. He was using a neck gaiter, not a mask, and had I known that would be his mask (which he forgot to put back on when he came downstairs...). I would have had one of my disposable KN95s available for his use. You may wish to confirm whether or not he will be wearing a proper mask or if he will wear one provided by you if that is a concern. There's some sort of confusion about the whole house humidifier; I was told that a plumber should look at it, but when I had a plumber in later in the week the plumber said there was no issue. I'm not going to have the HVAC person in again because I don't want to pay for that at the moment and if it hasn't been working for a while a bit longer won't hurt anything. He had been to this unit before, and does good work, so I would use him again and keep him in mind as someone to suggest to others. read more

My furnace stopped emitting warm air during the subzero temperatures hitting the region, leaving the house temperature in the 50s and dropping. I found this company through Yelp, and am quite glad I called them. Eli was at the house within 90 minutes. The cause for the issue was not at all straightforward, and Eli meticulously examined the furnace and ducts before coming to an accurate diagnosis of the issue. The solution he provided was creative and affordable, likely saving me a lot of headache and money had he not figured out the complicated problem. He charged me an incredibly fair price for the amount of time and effort he went through to figure out the problem. I will be definitely be reaching out to Eli again should further problems arise in the future. read more

Elie and Comfort Zone Heating were total lifesavers when my AC started fizzling out during a heat wave! I have a condition that makes me very susceptible to warm temperatures. Elie and his coworker came out within an hour of receiving my call at 4:00 pm to diagnose my 20 year old AC unit when all of the other services couldn't come out until the next day. Elie is honest, thorough, patient, and accommodating. He does great work at a very fair price and explains every detail in layman's terms. He was able to install a brand new unit next day for me, which I was extremely grateful for. He even started working outside in the morning to limit noise when I was presenting on Zoom. He also texted to let me know when he was going to be using a torch in the house! Very considerate and accommodating. Felt very comfortable having him and his coworker in my home. Could not recommend more highly. read more

The furnace broke over the weekend. The fast response of deploying a technician despite it being the weekend. Eli came back with a replacement part first thing on Monday and fixed the issue. Overall experience was great, knowledgeable, and professional. I highly recommend them for furnace repairs. read more

I highly recommend Comfort Zone. Eli provided timely service and was helpful in solving my furnace problem.

The BEST!!! Thank you guys so much for saving the day Eli Super affordable and professional, and made it so easy to work with read more

In below zero temperatures I called seeking for help. Heater was down and have a newborn at home, they came within the hour, fixed the issue, and left. Their price? Beyond fair!!! Super professional, great at what they do, and will knock any competitors pricing out. Thanks for saving the day BoyZ read more

Elie, following an electrical surge and fire, came to our home to help us figure out if we could salvage one of our two AC units. Although the space to service the furnace was tiny and cramped, Elie and his employee squeezed in and got my air conditioner up and running in no time. He was patient, kind and explained all the work he did and associated charges (which were very reasonable and fair). Not only is Elie an extremely knowledgable person, he is also a very HONEST, fair, and KIND person. You can trust this company with all of your heating and cooling needs. read more

My furnace stopped working during the cold snap and I consider myself very lucky that I chose Eli at comfort zone heating. I called and was afraid they would be booked but Eli had just finished a job close by and said he could be over in 30 minutes. He was out front in only 10 minutes. Luckily for me it was an easy fix and he walked me through what he was doing and possible causes. Got it going again right away and charged only for the visit since no parts had to be replaced. I highly recommend Eli and this company. read more

Eli answered our call at 8am when our furnace went out and it was 42 degrees in our house! He was able to get to us before noon and did a thorough check of our whole system. He charged a fair price and was extremely professional! read more

Prompt, pleasant, and knowlegeable service! I arrived home late on a Friday evening during extreme cold in the Chicagoland area to no heat. A chance meeting with Elie the next morning proved quite fortunate, as he happened to be serving another client in my building but gladly agreed to assess my situation. By the following Monday morning, I had heat again. Kudos! read more

I recently hired Elie to replace 2 furnaces in a multifamily unit I own. I have been a landlord for 20+ years and self manage my properties. I am also a Realtor and have worked with many contractors and service providers over the years. I am so glad I called Elie and Comfort Zone Heating. It was the kind of experience you HOPE to have but rarely do. I always start my search online reading reviews, then I start making the calls once I narrow down the companies that have great reviews. Elie had amazing reviews and when I called he immediately answered. He was very responsive and was able to go out the same day. My tenants had no heat at the end of November!! and I was very grateful for the fast response. He went to the property, sent me pictures and called to explain everything in great detail. I felt very comfortable with him and could tell he was very knowledgeable and I found him to be very trustworthy. The underlying cause of my furnace issue was water damage that I had not been able to pinpoint the source of, and I don't live in the area so I was not able to fully investigate. Elie actually went (above and beyond) and checked my chimney to see if the water was coming from there and he recommended I have a chimney company take a look, I had not thought of that and ultimately that was the cause of the water intrusion. I had a plumber come out as well and nothing was leaking from the plumbing. I asked Elie to give me a quote to replace both furnaces and I was pleasantly surprised to find out his pricing was very reasonable and extremely competitive. He and his team got the work done on a Saturday and spent at least 9-10 hours getting it done in one day. Elie also came out to the property the day before to make sure he would have everything needed to get the job done the following day. This is the difference you experience when working with a professional, small business owner that takes pride in their work. To say Elie and his team went above and beyond is an understatement! I will be calling him again in the Spring to install 2 new A/C units at the property. I cannot recommend Elie and his company enough. This was by far one of the best experiences I have had and I am so thankful that I called him and equally impressed with his top notch service. read more

Comfort Zone - 2 new furnaces installed in one day! - Heating & Air Conditioning/HVAC Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

See all

Our air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. These folks were prompt, knowledgeable and efficient. I will use them again!

Mistakes happen, but it is how you handle them that makes a company. Unfortunately, when Elie and two other HVAC techs installed a new HVAC combo unit in our condo during the winter months, they failed to attach the primary drain valve on the AC unit to the main drainage pipe in our condo. As a result, several months later, when we started using the AC, our condo neighbor notices water damage to her hardwood floors. Upon further inspection, we found the source of the water damage was because the drainage valve was never connected, and water seeped into our neighbors unit and damaged our floors too. I reached out to Elie via email and phone, he never responded. Next, I had to contact Jerald, Rockford Insurance, who had the Liability Policy that Comfort Zone was required to provide for the installation. Rockford denied the claim by simply stating, "They are not liable for the water damage." Much like Elie, Jerald won't respond to phone calls or emails asking for further explanation of why they aren't liable. Honestly, I'm shocked that I now have to pay for the damages to the hard floors in my condo and my neighbors because Elie and Comfort Zone forgot to attach a drainage valve. I'm writing this review as a buyer beware; when trying to support a small business, you can sometimes get burned when there is an issue. I was 100% satisfied with everything they did during the original installation, from price, timing, and professionalism. Just know if anything goes wrong, they will leave you hanging.

Comfort Zone get's 5 stars!  Our AC went out on a Sunday and Elie was at our house on Monday to inspect the situation.  I told him we had family coming into town so he was quick to jump into action.  He sent me a quote that day, ordered the unit the next day, and had it installed the day after that!  The unit came in with a dent so he took the initiative to send it back and have a new one delivered the same day!  He also did us a huge favor by hooking up our new HVAC scent machine, going above and beyond his original scope.  His pricing was very reasonable, communication during the process was on point, and overall customer service went above and beyond!  We also appreciated the follow up call post install to check on everything.  Thank you Elie read more

We called Comfort Zone on a cold call and they were onsite within hours and fixed the problem immediately. They were professional, took time to explain the situation, and gave advice on general maintenance moving forward. I will be entrusting them for maintenance for my whole building after this experience. read more

Eli has been a tremendous partner in helping resolve my heating/cooling needs. He's responsive, articulate, and gets the job done quickly - even when it's on short notice or requires additional parts. He's worked on both my boiler system as well as my furnace and I've found his rates competitive along with his great service! read more

My AC went out on the hottest day of the summer and 4th of July so everyone was closed. Elie made time in his schedule the next morning to come fix my AC unit. He had the faulty part on him so the AC was fixed in under an hour. He explained everything to me thoroughly so now I understand why this happened even when I recently serviced the unit. Awesome experience and service - highly recommend! read more

Eli is the most honest, direct and responsive service person we have ever used. We have used his services several times, and each time, he quickly responded, discovered what the problem is, and had everything on hand to fix it immediately. We have referred everyone who asks to Eli, and we will continue to do that. read more

I've had great experiences with Eli the past few years that we've been using Comfort Zone. He has serviced our older boiler system, fixed emergency heat and AC issues, and performed a number of other tasks--including fixing the boiler during a cold snap and the AC during a heat wave. Great service and very responsive. read more

I want to thank Elie and Comfort Zone for outstanding service and advice on my furnace. I will definitely call Comfort Zone again. Highly recommended! read more

I just had the pleasure of meeting with Elie Ewan, the owner and president of Comfort Zone Heating and Air-conditioning & Refrigeration. I have two boilers on the property where we live, one in the front house and one in a rented coach house in back - and Elie came to conduct annual maintenance and inspection. We have used several heating and air-conditioning companies over the years and based on those experiences I want people to know that Elie (pronounced 'Eli') was terrific. He was considerate, soft spoken, not aggressive, clearly knowledgeable, reasonable regarding cost, and willing to explain what he was doing and why. I asked what was perhaps too many questions and he was patient and took the time to answer every question. When I asked about making changes to the system which we would have gladly paid for, he politely talked me out of it - saying though he would do what we were asking, the things I was asking about were not necessary. This to me is the essence of integrity - not just thinking about making money, but doing the right thing. As the winter is approaching I go into the heating season feeling good about having made contact with Comfort Zone and Elie - knowing that if we run into difficulties - we have a reliable, knowledgable, "go to" service provider. I asked Elie whether he minded getting calls from customers in who were in trouble, and he chuckled and said, "...I worked all weekend... this is my business and what I do. It is what customers expect of me and I want them to feel safe and that they can rely on me." What a great way to answer this question. I recommend Elie to other Yelp viewers without hesitation. This guy is a prince. read more

My heater was fixed on the same day that it went out and called them. The service was extremely professional, and the pricing was super affordable. Thanks Comfort Zone Team read more

Called Comfort Zone regarding an AC issue. Eli was out the next morning. He had the issue resolved very quickly. He showed me some potential problems, which I will call to correct after the cooling season, so the unit is ready for next season. Great person! Very knowledgeable! Reasonably priced! read more

Called New Years Eve afternoon, got a response instantly and less than 30 minutes Eli, the owner, was at our business. Our heat had gone out a few days prior during the coldest days of the year and our management company had zone nothing. Eli showed up right away, was in constant communication, diagnosed and fixed our heating unit in under 30 minutes. A true life saver, as now we can open for business after New Years Day. He's also a super nice guy and happy to explain exactly what broke/went wrong and how prevent it in the future, as well as explaining some great maintenance tips. Prices were super reasonable as well. If I could, I'd give him 10 stars. Next time anything HVAC related happens at my work or even at home, Eli will be the first guy I call. read more
