Best Thermostat Repair in Chicago IL
Electrician
My experience until today has been very positive, both for my family, friends, clients and anyone I've referred to this company. I have sent no less than 3 people to them and my family has used them for both smaller and larger projects on no fewer than 3-4 occasions. And then today happened.
Skyline was called out in November or early December to install gutter heaters into my 97 year old grandmother's 4-flat. The system was installed, though they ended up staying late because the gutter heaters kept blowing fuses (she has an older electrical panel). They managed to stabilize the system temporarily and we thought there wouldn't be a problem in the future. As soon as the January ice storm hit, the gutter heaters started blowing all of the fuses again. No problem! I called Skyline but this time they sent Kent. While nice at first, his attitude quickly changed later on. I'm the type of person who looks to professions when I have questions and I rely on them for education and information. I asked Kent some questions and he just seemed annoyed. Upon his return from the supply warehouse, I asked him if I should turn the gutter heaters off in an effort to make things a little easier for him. His response was to call me an a$$hole and then tell me that it's always the person behind you that is telling you how to run your f#%king business even though you've been doing it for 35 years and have '5 licenses.' Excuse me? I've done nothing but try to help make things easier for you and if I've had a question, I have asked it (as any consumer would). I don't know everything and I'm hiring you for your time as well as your professional efforts. It's not too much to ask that you be somewhat pleasant during the process.
On top of this, Kent did not wear a mask. At the time (01-13-22), we were in the middle of the pandemic and at the peak of the problems with the Omicron variant. Regardless of what you may think of COVID-19, he knew that the owner was a 97 year old.
The bottom line is that the job wasn't properly completed back in December and the job wasn't completed today, either. Kent, after his tirade/hissy fit, decided to leave the job site without closing the roof hatch that he opened to examine the electric gutter heaters on the roof. My 97 year old grandmother was left to find someone with a ladder who was willing to help close up the hatch so that water and ice didn't cause hazardous conditions for her tenants. It's a shame that I will no longer be recommending this company due to the unprofessional actions of their owner. They had been great up until this point. Today is simply not something I am willing to overlook.

Happy to write this review since I know how hard it is to find an honest, reliable plumber. We had another company try to charge us $600 for a part that I went and bought myself for $30--pandemic pirates! But not here. The company was responsive and fast, and honest with their service and price. Highly recommend. Will use them again no doubt about it.

Called Dan because I needed a quick quote and turn around prior to closing on my home.
He replied right away, and we scheduled the work for a few days later.
Servicemen Robert and co worker arrived early, got the job done. Very courteous and knowledgeable.
This company is a class act. The job turned out to be a little different than what we originally planned based upon their sound, professional advice. They took the changes in stride and were in and out quickly.
Overall, the absolute best I could have asked for!

I have had consistently good service with Service Max and Malek Heating and Cooling before that. I like being on the scheduled maintenance program, because it's one less thing I have to remember to do. The service men come out when they say they will. Never had a hard time getting an appointment.

Recently bought a home and our shower stopped working. Some how the shower passed the home inspection. I came to yelp for help in the area. ABI had great reviews so I gave them a try. Billy came out asap and helped me resolve my issue in the very same week. He even explained some homeowner maintenance and tips to me as well (im a first time owner).I will definitely be using this company time and time again!
