 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with this company. My air conditioning stopped working during a heat wave, and Salvatore provided outstanding service. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and determined to get the problem resolved. He went above and beyond by coordinating access through a neighboring condo so he could safely reach my unit, and he kept me informed throughout the process. I truly appreciated Salvatore's patience, expertise, and dedication to making sure everything was working properly before he left. Thanks to his hard work, my air conditioning is running again, and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend this company, and especially Salvatore, to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and exceptional service.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ed was great! Highly experienced and knowledgeable. He was able to fix our AC problem on the same day we got the quote. He even explained the situation to me in a way, that even I would understand, what was truly going on. Thank you. Had to update this, we will be working with him from now on for future needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ed is one of the most honest, knowledgeable and reliable people you will meet.  I had a boiler go out on one of the coldest days this winter.  Ed came out ASAP to see what he could to get my heat running.  There was a crack in the boiler that could not be repaired as it would not solve the issue permanently.  A person with less integrity would have applied a temporary patch and charged more money to come back out when it failed.  I priced another company (Ed's suggestion).  I already knew I was going with Ed and Sal but I checked just to see the pricing.  Not only did Ed beat the other company but the salesperson made the statement, "a smaller company can install it but if anything goes wrong you'll never get them back out here."  I told him you don't know Ed.  That alone let me know I was right all along.  You will not find anyone as honest and reliable.  Ed always goes goes above and beyond.  Thanks Ed!!!!!

Reliable Furnace Repair Service Chicago

When your furnace breaks down in January, you need heat back the same day — not a sales pitch. Our technicians carry the parts that fix the majority of furnace breakdowns on the first visit:

Hot surface igniters and flame sensors — the two most common no-heat calls we run. A furnace that clicks but never fires, or starts and shuts off after a few seconds, is usually one of these.
Inducer and blower motors — humming, grinding, or a furnace that runs but moves no air. We stock universal and OEM motors for the common brands.
Limit switches and pressure switches — the safety controls that shut a furnace down when venting or airflow is wrong. We diagnose the cause, not just the code.
Gas valves and control boards — repaired or replaced with upfront flat-rate pricing before any work begins.
Cracked heat exchangers — the repair-or-replace decision point. We show you the crack with an inspection camera and give you an honest recommendation both ways.

Furnace Tune-Up & Maintenance in Chicago

A furnace tune-up in Chicago is cheap insurance against a January no-heat call. Most of the breakdowns we run in the dead of winter — dirty flame sensors, failing igniters, weak inducer motors — announce themselves in the fall, and a tune-up catches them while the fix is still small. Every Around the Town furnace tune-up includes:

Burner and heat exchanger inspection — including a camera check for cracks, the one failure you never want to discover mid-winter.
Flame sensor and igniter cleaning & testing — the two parts behind most no-heat calls.
Gas pressure, safety controls, and venting check — limit switches, pressure switches, and flue draft verified against spec.
Blower, motor, and filter service — amp draw measured, filter replaced, airflow confirmed.
Thermostat calibration and full-cycle test — so it fires, heats, and shuts down the way it should.

The best time to schedule furnace maintenance is September or October, before the first cold snap fills the calendar — here’s when to schedule furnace maintenance in Chicago and what a furnace tune-up costs. Our maintenance agreements bundle the fall tune-up with priority winter scheduling, and our guide to keeping your HVAC system in shape for a Chicago winter covers what you can check yourself.

24/7 Emergency Furnace Repair: Heating emergencies can happen anytime. That’s why we offer dependable emergency furnace repair service day and night. Our rapid response team quickly diagnoses issues, makes reliable repairs, and restores safe, consistent warmth to your home. Fast service you can trust.

Bryant Furnaces: Our Preferred Brand

Around the Town HVAC specializes in Bryant furnace installation. Bryant furnaces offer high efficiency, reliability, and performance for Chicago homes. We recommend Bryant for new furnace installations because of their quality and energy-efficient design.

Bryant Preferred Series: Mid-range, energy-conscious option with up to 96% efficiency and two stages of output.

Bryant Legacy Series: High-efficiency option for quality-focused homeowners who want excellent performance without premium pricing.

Replacing a furnace is a big expense — financing options are available, and estimates on new installations are always free.

Furnace Problems We Fix Every Week in Chicago

Furnace won’t turn on at all. Usually the thermostat, a tripped safety switch, or a failed control board. We check the simple causes first — many no-heat calls are fixed in under an hour.

Furnace starts, then shuts off after a few seconds. The classic short-cycle. Nine times out of ten it’s a dirty flame sensor; the fix is fast and inexpensive.

Blowing cold air. Could be a failed igniter, a gas supply issue, or a heat exchanger safety lockout. This one deserves a same-day diagnosis — some causes are harmless, one is serious.

Banging, screeching, or rumbling. Motors and bearings announce their failure before they quit. Catching it early is the difference between a part swap and an emergency call at 2 AM.

Dust or a burning smell from the vents. Often maintenance-related — we wrote up the causes in why your furnace might be kicking dust into your house.

Heating bills climbing every year. An aging single-stage furnace running at 80% efficiency costs real money in a Chicago winter. Sometimes repair is right; sometimes replacement pays for itself. We’ll show you the math on both.

Furnace Brands We Repair

We repair every major furnace brand sold in Chicago, and our trucks carry the common failure parts for the brands we see most:

Carrier furnace repair — one of our most-requested calls. Carrier and Bryant share engineering, so the parts we stock for our Bryant installs fix Carrier furnaces too — igniters, inducer motors, and control boards included.

Bryant — our preferred installation brand for over three decades. Nobody in Chicago knows them better.

Day & Night, Tempstar, Comfortmaker & Heil — ICP brands built on the same platform as Carrier. Same fixes, same parts, same day.

Goodman, Amana & Daikin — common in newer construction and rehabs across the city.

Lennox, Rheem, Ruud, Trane & York — all serviced, all week long.
