I've got a Unico AC unit and everywhere I called told me they couldn't work on it or get parts for it. Then I called Around The Town. Ed asked me clear and specific questions about my unit, quickly diagnosed the problem over the phone, and showed up with the right part in hand. Within an hour, he had everything up and running for a very fair price. A+ service, in the middle of a heatwave no less.

There aren't enough good things to say about this company. They responded quickly to my furnace problem mid-winter in Chicago. I would certainly use them again in the future. Many thanks! Service: Heating system maintenance

Our heating unit was making a high pitch noise and the good thing was that it wasn't cold out in case it went out. Got on the phone and scheduled an appointment, which Ed told me that I might need a tune up on my furnace over the phone. Well Ed came over and took care of our problem for us and just in time as the weather was going to be dropping in a couple days. Furnace has been working very smooth, noise went away after the tune up and much needed cleaning. It was great knowing I was supporting a veteran owned business.

The quality of work and the care for a job well done set's this company apart from the competition. Straight forward explanations and the assurance that the issue will be fixed is something that you can count on when Around The Town arrives to your house or business. Attention to detail and the customer is something that these larger companies can easily overlook. The job at hand is thoroughly handled and the customer is what matter's when this company is "Around The Town"! Being a former employee of multiple companies in the area I can easily say that I stand by this one and their work.

Absolutely the best service I have ever received getting our heat back up and running and being a new business this was extremely crucial to us. I called in and he was here in 20 minutes after I had already tried 4 other places who could not get to me tell the next day. No matter what you heating or AC needs are this is the place you need to call. Fast, friendly and great service!

Quick. Efficient. Cost effective. These guys beat 6 quotes on a brand new hvac system for a 1500 sq ft home. Original system broke down at night. Called around the next morning. These guys were the first to return my call, gave me lowest quote of 6 and promptly came out and ordered the system. Picked up and installed the next day. Highly recommended! Have called them several times since for questions and yearly maintenance. Always the same service! AAA+/5*!

Around the Town Heating & Cooling is the best! Ed has serviced my AC a few times and saved the day every time. This year there was no quick fix and I had to fully replace my furnace and AC. Ed gave me a very fair price (I got three quotes) and completed the work promptly and professionally. Ed has also been very responsive every time I called or texted. He even came out on a Sunday once to diagnose my problem.
In addition, he is knowledgeable and thorough in his explanation of what I needed and why. I appreciate his solid work ethic and expertise in his industry. I am now sitting in my condo with the AC on and could not be happier. Thank you Ed and your crew for getting the job done well and also for your funny stories along the way. I would recommend to anyone who wants a fair, honest assessment and repairs.

I have been extremely happy with Around the Town's service. I called this past week for my furnace. They came out as soon as I was available (on a Saturday!) to take a look at it and determined that it would take some serious work. Ed knew how worried I was with the cold weather coming, and was able to get the parts and have the work completed on Monday. I really can't say enough good things - Ed is so caring and gave me excellent advice on maintenance for the furnace and air conditioning (In fact, when I had a problem two years ago - he left oil for me and gave me instructions on how to use it properly on the unit.)
Ed really goes above and beyond - including giving me names of craftsmen to help with other much-needed repairs. You will be glad you called this service.

I've worked with Around the Town in years past and again just recently and I've always had a great experience. Ed and his team are professional and knowledgeable. They arrived on time as promised and Ed even called me afterwards to follow up on the service and if everything was to my satisfaction. Prices are reasonable too!

Ed put in a furnace for my mother and father on Friday September 23, 2011 and I am keeping all of their information! I will be buying a house soon and I know who will handle all of my heating and cooling needs! Around the Town gives efficient service, great recommendations and great prices! The crew came and worked morning til afternoon until everything was completed. They didn't leave a mess, like other companies have a tendency to do. Thanks Ed!

I'm glad I went through this heating service. Ed came through early the next day on the exact time he said he was Military time! His services were great. I'm glad that that he was veteran. I felt more clam and at ease with my situation on fixing the furnace. He showed me respect and kindness. I highly recommend this place for Veterans and others. Thanks again ED.
