Darryl is great. He's not out to make a big buck like other contractors. He seems very knowledgeable and explained how to upkeep my water heater to last longer. read more

6 year update I originally wrote this review after D's Air & Heating came out to troubleshoot our Pioneer mini-split system. At the time, I was very pleased with the service and specifically praised Darryl and his team for being prompt, courteous, knowledgeable, and professional. Unfortunately, six years later, my experience with the system has been very different. We invested approximately $16,000 in a three-unit Pioneer mini-split system for our home. The first two years were good, but after that the system began losing refrigerant. We have continued to experience problems, and now, after having the coils professionally cleaned, the system is not operating and is displaying an E1 error code. I am disappointed because this was a significant investment, and I expected a reliable system for many years. At this point, I am having another HVAC company independently diagnose the system to determine the actual cause of the problem, including whether there is a refrigerant leak and what is causing the E1 error. I wanted to update my original review because my initial experience was positive, but six years of ownership has given me a much different perspective on the long-term reliability of the installation and system. I believe potential customers deserve to hear both sides of my experience: the service was good when I originally posted this review, but unfortunately, the long-term performance of the system has been disappointing. read more

I found Darryl on Yelp after 1 of our wall-in air conditioners was crackling and not producing cool air. After sending out a quote message, he was the only one in the area that serviced wall-in air conditioners. Him and 2 guys showed up and did a great job with cleaning up all 3 of our air conditioners at a reasonable price, I highly recommend these guys, and the only thing I'd change is their response time and them arriving on time. It was still worth the wait and better late than never. read more

The A\C always goes out on the hottest of days! We called Darryl and he fit us in on his way home at the end of a busy day. He assessed the situation quickly and accurately realizing that our problem was actually in the thermostat rather than in the AC unit. We had replaced batteries ourself twice thinking that was the issue, but screen kept glitching in and out. Thought maybe something in the AC unit was tripping and cutting power to thermostat. But with a few easy wire tests D showed us that the thermostat was getting power from the unit. Once we agreed on a replacement, Darryl was no more than 20 minutes to replace. His charge was very reasonable and we even paid him a little extra because other places were going to charge us an emergency fee if they would come out that evening. The replacement thermostat has been in for over a week now and everything is back on track and working properly. Excellent work, DJ. Thank you so much for taking GREAT care of us. read more

Darryl is a rare find. He was very quick to respond, very flexible in our multiple revisions to the scope and very professional and knowledgeable. He is my new go to guy for HVAC. It was a pleasure to work with his company, ask for an estimate, you will not be dissappointed! read more

I scheduled an estimate and repair for 2pm. No show. I called again and left messages at at 3, 4, and 5pm. A crying baby in an 85 degree (or more) house made me impatient. So I cancelled and booked Enright Heating and Air. D's might do good AC work, but I wouldn't know. I hope you have better luck than me and my baby. read more

Received phenomenal service. Problem with my AC unit was communicated and repaired in a reasonable timeframe.

I called Darryl to get a last minute comparison quote on Lennox products after finding him through their website's authorized dealers. He responded to my call late in the evening, sent me quotes the same night, ensured he matched the model #'s I was originally quoted on and beat the price by $500 for the exact same Lennox models. He even sent me quotes for 2 other brands that he recommended as more affordable options. Much appreciated, great customer service! read more

We've used Darryl a couple times and he is always prompt to return calls, friendly, trustworthy and fair in pricing. Service was completed quickly and we were informed about the diagnosis, solution and future prevention. Will definitely use for any future heating and a/c needs. read more

Darrel and his son did a great job cleaning the air ducts in my condo. They were professional and friendly and I would use them again or recommend their services to anyone. They also had the best prices I could find in the area for this service. read more

Great service, great communication. I highly recommend! We'll be using them for many years to come for HVAC maintenance and any other service like duct cleaning when time comes. read more

Here is the timeline of events: June 26: Basement flooded due to storm. Once the water receded, my furnace/blower was making a rattling noise. Contacted D, made an appointment for July 1. July 1: D arrived and replaced the blower motor for $370. Good deal, I thought. July 3: I noticed D had not put the air filter back in the unit. No big deal, I put it in myself - and the unit started rattling again, just like after the flood. Took the filter out, the rattling stopped. Put the filter back in, rattling returned. I texted D to get his opinion - he recommended "a thinner filter." This is already a 1-inch filter, the thinnest they carry at hardware stores. I bought several different styles of filters, all of them caused the unit to rattle. July 6: I had another HVAC service tech come, who noticed that the replacement motor was not OEM. He replaced D's motor with an OEM motor, and the rattling stopped, even with a filter in place. July 14: I texted D asking for a refund. He asked why I didn't call him back. We of course had exchanged texts about the filter issue, but "thinner filter" was his only option. I again asked for refund, but was told that D had to "honor the warranty for the part replacement," whatever that means. So, I'm $370 poorer and have a non-OEM motor sitting in my basement. Anyone want it? read more

You will not find a more honest, hard-working, and committed person to help you with your HVAC needs. Darryl and his sons were professional, friendly, punctual, and well priced. They completely replaced my ductwork, it looks amazing and has no leaks and keeps my place nice and comfortable. There wasn't a moment that I doubted their quality of work and you shouldn't either. Will always call Darryl moving forward. Thanks!!!!! read more

We had a great experience with D's. It started with a VERY fast response on initial contact. Multiple options were presented and proposals were delivered rapidly. Install was problem free starting with quick scheduling and prompt arrival on install day. Work was efficient and professional. Workers were friendly and respectful. The new Lennox system (furnace and AC) work great and were at at good price. I would highly recommend D's based on my experience and will likely use them for service moving forward. Thanks Darryl. read more

Very quick, efficient, and knowledgeable! Thanks for being a great team and talking me through the problem with our heater.

Darrel is diligent, knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with - super friendly. My heat was not working and I sent out requests for quotes on yelp. Darrel was quick to respond and came over the next day - on a Sunday, for no extra fee. His price was fair, if not below average. I highly recommend him. Darrel makes the heating and cooling industry look good. I am keeping his card forever. read more

I've been using Darryl for the past few years and I just wanna say thank you for all the excellent work that you've been done. Couple years back there was a significant break down in my AC unit and I've been searching for vendors who can fix the units but had no luck. I've used four seasons, northtown, and many others - except for recommending changing to a new unit which will cost me $10k+ (it's a combo unit and there's limited people in Chicago have knowledge about how to fix it), no one could actually fix the problem until I found D. He's super knowledgeable and nice. His customer service is awesome as he usually comes really fast, spent an hour then my problem was gone. I really appreciated his great work and EXTREMELY REASONABLE charge - I'd STRONGLY recommend him to everyone even your AC unit is not as complicated as mine : ) read more

Great job installing a new heater and air conditioner. Super responsive with great pricing. Couldn't have been happier with the service.

D's is an example of a company with top notch service. D came out same day I called him and diagnosed the problem immediately. He could not fix the same day because it was a Saturday and he had to get the part (fan motor). He came on Monday as promised and fixed my issue. Great person and great customer service. I recommend him highly. He is fair and a pleasure to work with! read more

Really? 5 stars? I had an air conditioning problem I needed fixed ASAP and called 10 places to see who could come out the quickest and was so relieved to find out D could come and sounded confident he could do the simple fix that same evening. 5:00 rolls around, no call, no message. I had to call and text him multiple times to ask if he was coming. When he finally responded he said he got hungry so he wasn't coming until 8. Ok, 8 will work.... 8:00 rolls around, still no response and now he's not picking up. Very unprofessional and clearly should have just told me he wasn't coming so I could call companies for the repair. read more

I hired Darryl to clean out my dryer vent. I had some ignorant questions about the process. Darryl made it very clear and offered a quote. He was prompt and courteous. I used their yelp deal which made the experience even better I mentioned needing some work done on HVAC with thoughts of replacing the system. He provided me a very reasonable quote. I decided instead to have ducts and system cleaned and checked. He didn't pressure me which I appreciated. Darryl and his son came to do the work. Again, they were prompt, quick and a pleasure to have in my home. My two dogs like them too. read more

So we're having trouble getting heat and a/c to our second floor, greeeaaat. One company comes out (though on the phone they pre-determined they can't help us), says we can't help you. I'm so surprised. After poking around online, trying to figure what the problem is, someone suggests I find someone with a duct camera. A lot harder than you might imagine. I called up D's and he said he had a long one, so I invited him over. Turns out his camera couldn't make some of our duct turns but he finds the ducts are ridiculously filthy, maybe there's a blockage from the filth, let's clean. I guess I shouldn't be surprised, this house flipper we bought from is, well, I have nothing kind to say. Daryl and his son spent 2 hours cleaning the ducts out, reset all the registers the way he felt they should be for optimal airflow, pointed out a bunch of other things and said he hoped the cleaning helps out situation, please let him know. Well, it has. It's not a fridge upstairs in this cold weather anymore. While it's not ideal up there, Daryl's work made a difference. Super nice guys too. I will call him again I'm sure. read more

Nightmarish experience with this company for us. Called them to figure out why 2 of the heaters in different bedrooms weren't working properly. Talked to Daryl who gave an ETA and was about an hour late. Came into the house and didn't have those disposable shoe covers that most professional contractors usually bring. He proceeded to the bedrooms and 'bled' the small radiator units. After that remedy didn't work, he went to the basement to check out the boiler. He started to tinker with the wiring and that's what opened up a whole can of worms. He left thinking the problem was solved. Unfortunately, he screwed the boiler and it stopped working. We had no hot water for heat or for our taps. I immediately called Daryl back and explained what happened. He said he'd be over first thing in the morning to attend to it. He also had said he was so busy I'd have to help him out by picking up a part from one of his wholesale places in the suburbs in order to expedite things. I picked up the part and came back home and again he was over an hour late. This is not even the worst part. The part he ordered was the wrong size and wasn't even necessary given the problem! Again that evening, he started tinkering with the wiring. At one point, he asked me for the instructions manual to the system. I found that and gave it to him but unfortunately that didn't work as well. After spending a couple hours on it, he said he'd have to come back Monday to continue the work (and we'd have no heat all weekend). At this point, I realized he was in over his head and I needed to call a real professional to fix this mess. Thank God for the folks at Service Express who came in and first shook their heads at why on earth someone would tinker with the wiring when it wasn't even necessary but then proceeded to methodically correct the mess. I've never had such an experience with a tradesman who failed to admit of this wrongdoing and that he was not familiar and capable of handling our boiler problem and then proceeded botch things up to the point where our family of 4 suffered as a consequence. The only reason I didn't take legal action against this company was that I just didn't want to incur more losses in time and money and increased stress! read more

Excellent service and Fast! One of our units needed a new motor after Darryl inspected it. He not only changed the motor promptly the next day but cleaned and serviced our other unit at the same time Very reasonably priced as well ! Will use again read more

I worked with Darryl getting quotes for a new AC and furnace. His responses were unbelievably quick, and he's highly knowledgeable. You really won't find a better price or value for his services! read more

Remodeling a Home and we decided to install a Mini Split Cooling system. D's Air and Heating was one of the contractors contacted and they promptly submitted a competitive bid which we thoroughly reviewed and subsequently accepted. Darryl maintained prompt and timely communication with us during the entire process, ( email and phone), and worked within our dynamic remodeling schedule. Installation of a 3 Zone Mini Split system was performed in a professional ,timely manner and within the job description that they had initially provided. Bottom line: Darryl and his Son value providing complete customer service, they maintained communication with us during the entire process, they take pride in the work and completed the work in a professional manner. As an individual who works hard for the money and values quality, professionalism and customer service, I would recommend D's Air & Heating to anyone that is seeking to have a professionally installed Mini Split System at a fair and reasonable price. Thank you. read more

Darryl was flexible and responsive when we needed to quickly replace our AC unit. He passed along multiple quotes with detailed info so we could make the best decision for us. They did a great job. read more

My tenant had complaint of furnace that was blowing cold air and short cycling. D's agreed to come in the evening which I appreciate since it accommodates mine and my tenants schedule. Most places have limited hours or charge extra to come later. They came and found the furnace was dirty, cleaned it and I have no complaints from the tenant now a week later. I found their prices to be reasonable and lower than a couple other places, though the reason I went with them was definity because of availability and prompt response rather than price. I would be happy to use them again. read more

I think I should add another 5 stars to this business and to Darryl. Our situation was that we really needed a new steam boiler + water heater (old one was installed in the 70s by Sears). We 'shopped' around getting quotes here and there from various HVAC companies. One day we call Darryl to give us a quote and he gave us a very competitive price and my family ultimately decided that he was the better option. In terms of the job and service, Darryl did an excellent job and it was fairly quick for a 2-man job! Darryl is very dedicated to his work, proof of this occurred on one day where he worked from morning till 11 PM at night! To add to that, he even stopped by one more day just to make sure everything was fully functional and working correctly. I can list multiple reasons why you should call D's Air and Heating for your next service call. 1. Family-owned business 2. Darryl does the job until it is done and done right! 3. Darryl gives fair prices for the job. 4. Don't look at just this review, look at the many others below me and above me. I'm simply posting because I can safely say that I'm another satisfied customer read more

Hi, I normally don't post reviews but I needed to in this case especially recommending small business owners who provide good reliable service. I contacted D's Friday after another company couldn't get in to clean our dryer vents at our condo until 5 Days later. Darryl said he could do it on Sunday after I explained that our tenant was pregnant and was going to be induced on Tuesday and the last thing we wanted was for them to be disturbed by a service call first few days of being a new Mom. He called and said he was running a bit tardy, but made there at 10:15am and began cleaning out the vents of the dryer. Unfortunately he discovered that the installers most likely didn't clean the vents properly before installation the previous year as the coil was so clogged that water accumulated in the coil not allowing the dryer to heat properly. If that wasn't enough I didn't realize my wife had contacted him after I informed her of the service call for our condo to have him stop by our home to do our dryer as well. Again, this was Sunday. Cleaned our vents and dryer and informed us how dirty it really was as he was covered in dust and gunk. Highly recommended us servicing it once a year at least instead of (never in 3 Years) being a risk of fire. Again all on a Sunday and was kind enough not to charge a premium rate for the weekend. Bonus points as he was good with our curious three old son. Only reason it's not five stars is that we need to see the difference after cleaning. I got D's Heating & Air, Inc on my short list now of contractors. Charles read more

I reached out to Darryl and several other contractors to perform a full update of my HVAC system and a tank less water heater install. Although another contractor won the bid, Darryl was by far the best in terms of communication and following up about his estimates. Definitely recommend him! read more

Darryl did a great job, and for cheap! I would certainly hire him again.

Responsive, capable and professional. D's did a nice job with a ductwork project which improved air flow and efficiency.

Happy with emergency service. I called at 7 PM even though their hours showed them closed at 5 PM. Daryl answered and told me he could be there at 9 PM. He got there right around 9 PM and stayed until 10:45 PM until my A/C was back in working condition. He was nice, reasonably priced, and his prompt service was really appreciated! read more

Daryl and his son came by to my recently remodeled house and cleaned all of the ductwork and vents throughout my two story home w/ basement. It was clear that the vents and ductwork had not been cleaned in a very long time. Dog hair and construction dust, including hardwood floor refinishing exacerbated the problem. Daryl came by on very short notice due to my already scheduled cleaners coming by the following day. Scheduling the appointment was painless via their online scheduling portal with prices and details clearly stated. They did a top notch job with the cleaning and I would gladly recommend them to anyone looking for this type of service. read more

We called D's Air and Heating when our hot water tank started to leak and needed to be replaced. They were prompt and extremely professional. They replaced our water heater and cleaned all of our air ducts. I couldn't be more happier with the level of service that we received. I highly recommend them! read more

There is something magical about a small family operation that does what they're supposed to do, when and how they're supposed to do it, with a friendly smile, followup care, and without up-selling. I've just described Darryl and his business. He came in on the Saturday after Good Friday - when everyone else was on break - when he said he would. He identified a few problems noone else was able to (and did the extra work without charging more). When a semi-related problem was identified after the fact, I called him and he came over that same night. Darryl is a good guy, and deserves your business because he is a good, honest guy that cares about the work he does and the people he does it for. He will do better work for you than the next guy. Thank you Darryl! read more

Great experience w Daryl. Communicated w me when he would be arriving. Provided the service requested as charged without trying to sell other services. Sent me receipt by email as requested. Highly recommend D's Heating and AC! read more

After calling and having basically every large and small company come in and give me quotes for a new furnace, AC and duct cleaning. D's beat everyone's price by over $1000. So my thought was well you get what you pay for and I couldn't be more wrong. They where extremely nice and had everything done in a day and two months later everything has turned out great. I would recommend them highly over the larger companies. No BS just honest good work. read more
