    I feel very lucky to have worked with Alambre Electrical. Jonathon has 25 years of experience. I…read moreused them for my rental properties. The quality of the work for the value is incomparable to everything else in Chicago. Besides the value , they never wasted time and always showed up and finished the work quickly. They understand a lot about the codes and do not nickel and dime you for every minor change. They dealt with all of the nuances of working in a high-rise.

    I strongly advise against hiring Alambre Electric. Our experience was deeply frustrating and…read moreultimately led to legal action. We signed a contract for $16,000, expecting a professional and reliable service. At the start, there were 2-3 workers on site, but they soon stopped showing up regularly. When I asked for updates, I received vague and inconsistent explanations. Work resumed sporadically, but progress remained minimal. There were also serious concerns about professionalism. Workers were smoking in our basement and around the property, and empty beer cans were frequently left behind. This created an uncomfortable and unacceptable environment in our home. Despite having already paid more than half of the contract upfront, the team completed only about a quarter of the agreed-upon work. At that point, the owner demanded an additional $5,000 and stated they would walk off the job if we refused. When we referred back to the signed contract, he began disputing items that were clearly included--such as the electric stove and cooktop--even though we had documentation and prior discussions confirming this. After being presented with proof, he shifted his reasoning, citing increased costs and business expenses. Those are not the customer's responsibility. We ultimately involved the City's Department of Building and Electrical in an effort to resolve the situation. While the work completed met code requirements, the broader dispute remains unresolved. The owner attempted to deflect blame by mischaracterizing our conduct, which was both inaccurate and disappointing. This situation has now escalated into a civil case as we pursue recovery of our funds. If you value reliability, transparency, and professionalism, I recommend looking elsewhere. Based on our experience, this is not a company I would trust with my home.

    I appreciate the quick responsiveness and the professionalism. They found the issue and repaired it…read morequickly.

    I have not moved forward with the repair yet, so I can't speak to the quality of their actual work…read more I also wish YELP offered a neutral rating for situations like this--something that reflected the customer experience without necessarily ranking the quality of the service. PROS: ServiceMax has been communicative, timely, and professionally responsive. Their $250 dispatch/diagnostic fee is comparable to other companies I contacted. They work on high-rise buildings with IEC coils and are willing to provide part numbers, which I appreciated. No complaints about the customer service experience. CONS: The repair pricing is expensive. The $250 diagnostic/dispatch fee does not transfer toward the repair. I was quoted $1,700 to replace a motor costing about $300, including delivery, with an estimated 1-1.5 hours of work. With the dispatch fee, the total would be nearly $1,950. When I questioned the difference, I was told the additional cost includes retrieving the part, traveling downtown, parking, and overhead. I understand that businesses have overhead and are entitled to set their own pricing. However, it puts the burden on the customer to compare prices. The challenge is that "shop around" can mean being without AC while waiting for other companies to diagnose the problem and provide estimates--especially difficult during hot weather. My impression is that larger franchise HVAC companies may fall within a similar general price range, but I would still recommend getting multiple estimates if possible. Ask for parts, labor, travel, and other fees to be clearly itemized so you can make meaningful comparisons. A few suggestions: 1. If you live in a managed building, send the quote to management/your HOA or board. They may have experience with similar repairs or recommend alternatives. 2. Research the actual cost of the parts and compare it with labor and other fees. 3. Ask about discounts, coupons, reduced travel fees, or whether the diagnostic fee can be applied toward the repair. 4. Depending on the repair, another licensed large appliance repair company may offer hourly labor rather than separate travel/part-retrieval charges. Remember Angi's list, Thumbtack, and TaskRabbit--where there are verified, independent contractors. Overall, I have had a positive experience with ServiceMax in terms of communication, responsiveness, and professionalism. I may still hire them. If your system requires a specialized company like ServiceMax and you cannot shop around, I have no reason not to recommend them based on my experience so far. However, because of the price and lack of discounts or credit toward the repair, I feel I need to explore other options first. If I move forward, I will update this review.
