    Freedom was the company that installed my tankless hot water heater. I found them through Yelp and also drive near their offices. Nick emailed us a quote after receiving photos from me. Their team arrived around noon and had the job done around 6pm. They did a fantastic job and cleaned up well. The unit looks great and works perfectly. I also signed up for a maintenance plan for my furnace and a/c. I also liked that their office staff is easy to communicate with.

    My experience with Freedom was fantastic from start to finish. And I interacted with numerous people within their organization. Our air conditioner had failed, was leaking, and was 20 years old and not worth repairing. So I needed to get several bids so I could find the best price and workmanship. The first bid I got was from the technician Willie at Freedom. He came out very quickly. I wasn't home but he explained what he found to my wife, then also called me to make sure he got to speak with us both. He gave me a reasonable quote to replace both the AC unit and furnace in our condo. Then I got 2 more bids. One of the bids was cheaper for the same equipment (Lennox single stage) And originally I thought of going with the cheapest quote, but many red flags came up with them after my initial commitment. I realized that after they got a verbal commitment from me, they became very unreachable. For several days. When they finally sent the quote in writing, it had zero detail about the work that was to be done. I read more reviews on Yelp and it became obvious that many HVAC companies are eager to get your business, but once they do the equipment install, they become phantoms. Which is distressing to think about considering they're supposed to guarantee their work for many years after an expensive install. Then I went back and reviewed Freedom thoroughly, realized they have 24 hour phone help and always come out quickly if there's an issue. And my first interaction with Willie was extremely positive. I called Willie again and he spoke to his boss Pete. In the end we worked out a price that was very fair, (only a $300 more than the lowest quote I got). Now, most importantly, when it came to the install day, I was blown away by the quality of workmanship from Genti, "Little" Pete, and Ralph. When they ripped out my old furnace, they showed me that the original furnace was installed with the air filter in the back where it was unreachable without pulling open the furnace every time, and this is why the last owner of our condo likely never changed it. Let me tell you the filter looked horrendous --caked in almost half an inch of dirt. The condenser on the AC was broken, and the humidifier filter had also not been serviced in years and had mold. They ripped out everything, re-installed the HVAC housing from the ground up, relocated pipes to a more logical and less dangerous position, installed a water leak sensor (because they didn't trust the existing humidifier to ruin their precious work), and built a new filter rack that faced forward for easy access to change the cheap air filter every month. Like I said, this level of detail and anticipation had been listed out by Willie in his initial written quote. Then the install techs who came out to my house did what was promised AND more (at no extra charge, no surprise costs). At the end of the day I paid exactly what had been agreed upon ahead of time. Remember that it's not just the equipment you're paying for, it's the level of knowledge and experience of the company. I knew confidently that there was no way I would have this quality of an installation if I had gone with the cheapest bidder. This company is amazing. I was unbelievably impressed by the work and the efficiency with which they did it. I will be recommending them to all of our friends and coworkers that live out here in Chicagoland, without hesitation. Some reviews i've read on here say things like "they charged me $100 for a part I could find for $20 online, 1 star" etc. Are people serious. Do they realize that a technician has to come out, troubleshoot your problem, then yes, they need to charge you more than $20 for the part. They were the ones who figured out which part was broken in the first place. If I asked you to come all the way out to my house in the snow, come inside my house, mess around with something for an hour, then I'll give you $20? I don't think so.no ones time is worth that. Use your brain.

    AC unit

    We had our AC unit replaced and Freedom handled the whole process professionally. With friendly easy to reach staff and scheduled my estimate and install with in a week. I would highly recommended them to anyone looking. Extremely professional and clean install.

    Freedom came and fixed our furnace super quickly when it went out at the worst time during a very cold day. Amazing job for a fair price.

    Chris is hands down the best electrician in the Chicagoland area. Being relatively new homeowners,…read morewe've worked with a variety of technicians from multiple major companies and independent electricians, and we now only keep Chris's number saved for electrical issues. Chris has come out to our house multiple times for things as minor as replacing switches to more major troubleshooting issues with our panel. Chris is responsive over the phone. There's no call center to go through. While he's very busy, he has always been able to schedule us at times that are convenient for both of us. Most importantly, he's absolutely trustworthy as far as being able to complete any job we've had. We have an older house, so whenever something pops up that we're unsure of, whether it's a functional issue or safety concern, Chris is able to quickly diagnose the issue and solve it efficiently. He was thorough in inspecting our house and talking through what our electrical system looks like in our house and explaining in plain language why something is happening. I've learned a tremendous amount about our house and electricity in general from his work. The cherry on top is that he is competitively priced for the very high level of expertise that he brings to the table. He's never tried to upsell us and has even talked me out of some work that I've inquired about when it's unnecessary. We've even actually ended up calling him to check work that other electricians have completed when issues have arisen. I can't recommend Chris more at Quality Residential Electric for his knowledge, personability, and fair pricing.

    I found Chris via Yelp when I had a wall that start buzzing when I turned on a light switch,…read morecoupled with a three way switch that wasn't behaving normally anymore. No one I knew had any recommendations, so I contacted a few electricians on Yelp because I didn't know where to start. He responded quickly and was EXTREMELY helpful, talking to me on several calls to give an estimate and initial troubleshooting ideas, including suggestions for what to tell my building's engineer in case I opted to have the engineer try to fix it first. He had me send photos of my electrical panel and he mentioned the brand of breakers I had (Challenger) are known to be problematic and hazardous, so he suggested that I have them swapped out when I have the lightswitch fixed. He said my building engineer could probably do it if I preferred that, which would be less expensive. Because my building just changed maintenance/engineering companies earlier this year and I don't really know or trust the new engineer yet, I wanted to have an electrician do this to make sure it was done correctly. I was impressed by his Yelp reviews, Angie's List reviews, and BBB rating, so I hired him. Chris was super easy to work with to schedule the appointment, and he gave me a 2 hour window for when he'd arrive (and as it approached, he called/texted to update me on a more exact ETA). I ended up having him replace all my breakers, and he also replaced the three light switches that were faulty. He also swapped out my hardwired smoke detector, since my old one was past its prime. I pre-purchased the breakers and detector since I had a few days' lead time, so he only charged me for the switches and his time (which was spot-on with the estimate he gave me over the phone). He also went up on my roof when he saw the breaker for my AC unit seemed to not make sense for the size of my apartment, and sure enough it was not what the AC unit sticker said it should be. So he replaced that one with the correct amperage, which reduces the strain on the AC Unit (so it doesn't get damaged) and reduces the risk of a fire. He also found some problems with my building's roof and some building wiring that was exposed up there, which he photographed and sent to me so I could pass it along to the board and management company for them to handle. Chris is a super nice guy, and he was great at explaining what was wrong and what needed to be fixed without upselling me. I'm someone who stresses out about anything home maintenance because I'm terrified of something going tragically wrong, so I appreciated the info he shared. I've already recommended him to my neighbors in our building's facebook group, and I will definitely hire him again for any other electrical work I may need. (I may eventually get my life together and replace some ceiling light fixtures and install a fan. While in theory I could do it myself, I'd rather not accidentally electrocute myself. Plumbing and electric are the two things I don't mess around with, even for simple fixes).

He picked up the phone and reassured me that he can come out quickly and address the issue. In fact, he was able to diagnose the root cause over the phone and came prepared to resolve the issues. While fixing the issue, Ryan took the time to help me understand my electrical panel and explained the process of how he was going to fix the issue. After the work was completed, he ensured that there were no ongoing issues and that the work was completed to my satisfaction. At no point did Ryan come off as impatient or made me feel like he was rushing. He completed the fix quickly, but was very thorough in his work (something that comes with experience, practice, and being confident in the work). He was extremely kind and patient as he answered all of my questions. The rate Ryan charged was fair (i.e., no price gouging); especially given the short notice. I am definitely going to be calling on Ryan (no hesitation) for any future work that may require an electrician.

Ryan came out promptly the next day when I requested and his work was professional and clean.
