I am extremely disappointed with my experience with this HVAC company…read more I originally called them because I was having an issue with my outdoor HVAC unit. After looking at it, they told me the unit was bad and needed to be replaced. I trusted their recommendation and paid over $3,000 for the replacement/repair. The work was done quickly, and the system worked fine for about a year. This season, the outdoor unit stopped turning on. I had another HVAC technician inspect it, and he told me the issue was caused by a hole left in the welding during the installation, which allowed the Freon to slowly leak out over time. Because the Freon was completely gone, the repair is now much more expensive. To be sure, I had a second technician inspect it as well, and he gave me the same explanation. I reached out to this company to discuss the issue. They answered my first call, but after that, my repeated calls and emails have gone unanswered. That is extremely frustrating, especially when the problem appears to be related to the installation work they performed. My sincere advice is to be very careful before hiring this company. In my experience, they did not stand behind their work or properly respond when I needed help after the job was done. I am very disappointed with the quality of the installation and the lack of customer service afterward.

I decided to go with Herchenbach Mechanical after comparing a couple other places in the area. Scheduling an appointment was easy. Curtis and his team came over and installed the AC unit fairly quickly. They were very professional and courteous. Fast forward to a few days ago, my kid decided to throw pieces of chalk down the pipes. I called Herchenbach Mechanical to schedule a time and date that works for me. They will email and text you to confirm your appointment. On the day of your appointment, they will also send you a photo of the technician that will be over. Adam, the technician, was very friendly, knowledgeable, respectful and on time. I told him what happened and he explained what he would need to do to get the chalk out from the pipes. I also scheduled them to clean my AC as well. After Adam finished using the hose from the backyard, everything was neatly put back the way it was. He didn't leave anything out or left a mess. When he was inside the house, he would immediately put on those disposable shoe covers without me having to ask. Herchenbach Mechanical has always provided great, friendly service when I needed them. I have nothing but good things to say about Curtis and his team. Again, highly recommend them! You won't be disappointed.

I set up an appointment with this company for my shop units. I was use to going to Stop Heating &…read moreCooling and was told they had bought them out. I explained that I had an air conditioner/hearting unit that needed help. I explained that the unit was smelling of vinegar and moldy smell. I explained that the unit was cooling but that it was extremely hot to the touch outside. I was told that it was most likely a valve that was plugged and that they could come out and fix that and clean the unit. I set up my appointment for 3:00. The next day I called and asked if I could have both units cleaned so I would be set for winter. I again explained that these were hear and air units AND gave them the name of the unit I had in my shop. I was told they could do that. They did ask if they could back the appointment up to 1:30 and I agreed. On that day I get a call at 11:50 that Mr. Michael Gaughan is on their way. I race over there and open up my shop. I am waiting for 20 minutes so I call to make sure they did not come early and leave. The person on the phone tells me they are still on their way. Ten minutes later I get a call from Mr. Gaughan from his vehicle asking me if I am there even though he parked right in front of the shop and could clearly see me inside the building. He walked in and I proceeded to show him where the units where and what was happening. He cut off my sentence by wanting to see where they were in back. We walked around the building and he looks at the one unit and asks me if the unit is working and I said yes, but it is running really hot. I told him that the company thought it was something plugged. He then asks me if water comes out of the unit. I said I did not know for sure because se there has been no water coming out of it. He then asks me why I would think water would be coming out and I said because the condensation has to go somewhere and its clearly standing water inside. He then asks me where the water is. And I have no idea what he is talking about. And he said well the water to hook up a hose. And I said, we do not have water back here. It is in front of the building. Is this so you can clean the unit or what because your company never said anything about this. So he then starts walking the opposite way of where we came in. Not to look at the other unit but just walks away from me. I ask him what he is doing and that there are no water outlets over there. He proceeds to tell me that he is nosy and he just likes to nose around and see what's going on. I tell him that where the trash is and it's easier to get back the way we came. On the way back I show him where the water hoses are and he complains that his hose may not go back that far. Back in the shop, he then turns to me and asks me what he wants me to do? Does he want me to take the unit out? Does he want me to take all the insulation out? How the heck do I know? I called his company and they told me they would clean the unit and fix the draining issue. They never asked me any questions. So finally I ask him if he has ever seen a unit like this. And he tells me he only works on big units and split units. I ask him if he knows what to do because if he is not comfortable doing this I cannot afford to have him mess it up and need a new unit. And he still has never even looked at the other unit. So then He starts complaining about how he would have to do this and I have now lost confidence in this guy. So I call his company back and tell them that this guy is not sure how to proceed and could you talk to him. I am now in business mode voice stating that I told you everything when I made the appointment and now I have someone who I am worried is going to screw things up worse. So I give Mr. Gaughan my phone and they discuss it. He hands the phone back to me and the they tell me that he knows what to do and it will be okay. I again reiterate that if he does not feel confident doing this I cannot afford to buy another AC. So I get off the phone and say you are good to go. But by that time Mr. Gaughan has developed an attitude. He takes two steps and gives me the stink eye. Takes two more steps and gives me the stink eye. He then takes out the filter to the AC which is clean and then shoves it back into the unit. He tries to pull the front plate off of the unit and cannot and clearly does not know what he is doing. I then say to him; I do not understand what is the attitude here. Look, if I am not confident in my job, I let the client know so they do not walk out unhappy. Do you feel comfortable in what you are doing? He turns to me glaring. I am looking back at me and he starts walking past the door and takes two steps and says angrily Competent and then walks some more and says competent. And I say back to him, I have no idea what is going on here or what you mean by this. He then walks around his truck and stands there doing nothing and then he walks over to the other side

THIS review is why I joined Yelp. In a world of mediocre to terrible businesses, I had to write…read moreabout the amazingly positive experiences that I keep having time after time with the family-owned Beckman Brothers Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. I'll tell you my overall opinion, and if you want to know the details of the "why" behind it, read-on beyond this next paragraph: Beckman Brothers is a genuinely honest, reliable, experienced, and fair company. Most of their staff is family. At last count, one person wasn't related, and he is a life-long friend of one of the technicians. When you call, John, the owner, typically answers. If you have an emergency, a technician is at your house somewhere between minutes and at worst, a couple of hours. They give you honest analysis and solutions at reasonable prices, usually with good, better, best options. And when they perform the work, it's done right. Simply put, I have never worked with any company, in any of the trades, that I trust and appreciate more. They are what you wish every company would be like. So how'd I get here?... Let me give you a bit of background... I had been using a legacy local HVAC company... A one-man operation, who has his office in downtown Lake Zurich and has been servicing the area for years. He is friendly. Honks his horn as he drives by and tells you his life story when he comes to do work. And here's where the problems are with him... He either lacks knowledge or intentionally strings out issues so that you call him back out, over and over. My final straw was that the flame wouldn't light in my furnace, so I called for repair. He'd diagnose a failed flame sensor and fix it for a hundred bucks. Three months later, same problem. Another hundred bucks later, I get two more months, and, you guessed it, same problem. This is when I asked around, and called Beckman Brothers on a referral from a friend. Martin from Beckman Brothers came out within hours and scoped the furnace to find that there was a crack in the heat exchanger, which not only could have been leaking carbon monoxide into my home every time the furnace fired up, but also was leading to the repeated failures around the flame sensor as the safety kicked in and wouldn't let gas flow. Martin showed me the image from the scope and gave me a written estimate for repairing the furnace. I also asked him for an estimate to replace the entire furnace, as it was around fifteen years old. Out of curiosity, I called my legacy HVAC guy, who came out, and to no surprise, wanted to replace the flame sensor again for another hundred bucks. I told him that after some research, I was concerned about the heat exchanger, as it could be a root cause of my repeated problems. He finally looks and tells me, "your heat exchanger is broken," and the resolution is to, "replace the furnace." Not only did he not find the problem on his own in three visits over five months, but he also gave me one resolution in the end, a quote for a builder-grade furnace that COST MORE than a mid-level Bryant furnace from Beckman Brothers. Needless to say, that was the last time I invited my now former HVAC guy in my house. Since then, Beckman Brothers has replaced two furnaces and two air conditioner condensers. I have a service agreement with them where they come out twice a year (once for Heat and once for A/C) for preventative maintenance. Since switching to Beckman Brothers, the only issue I have had was a furnace intermittently turning off because of a dirty flame sensor during an unusually early cold snap. Had my annual maintenance been scheduled for two weeks earlier than it was set for, I wouldn't have even had that problem. Bottom line, I cannot endorse a company more than I do Beckman Brothers Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning. And if you have an issue, do not hesitate to call them. You will get honest service and fair options. I am confident you will not regret it.
