Whose Advice do You Trust? | Elk Grove Village, Streamwood

Kate — Tue, 21 Feb 2012 08:00:04 +0000

When something goes wrong in your home, who do you go to for advice on how to handle the situation? For most of us the answer would be the name of a close friend or relative. These are the people we know well and love and we know that they truly have our best interests at heart. We take their recommendations into consideration and usually go with what they suggest especially when we are entering uncharted territory. For example, the first time your heating, cooling, or water heating went out, you may not have had a clue who to trust. Friends and family members can make their recommendations but in the end you are really only getting the perspective of one person’s opinion of a company.

Consumer Review Websites

Unfortunately, one person’s opinion isn’t enough to form an educated decision on who to trust with your home’s heating and cooling. Every company claims to be “the best” so taking their word for it is no good either. What you need are real consumer reviews that can’t be faked or made up. This is when people turn to consumer review sites on the internet. Based on the rating there, the consumer receives a better picture of how a company handles a service call and how they handle a problem if it should arise.

A History of Outstanding Service

Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has once again been recognized for the seventh consecutive year by a leading consumer review site for our outstanding customer service in the heating, cooling, water heating, and duct cleaning industries. Our customers that are paid members of this site go there to share how they really feel about our work. At Four Seasons we cannot buy a good rating and we cannot influence the results that are found by this site. This leaves the average consumer with an honest representation of what service from Four Seasons is like, and based on our current rating with this site, we think you will find that Four Seasons is someone who will not only meet but also exceed your expectations every time you call us.

Forget about the Groundhog! | Tinley Park, Oak Forest, Elmwood Park

Kate — Mon, 20 Feb 2012 08:00:29 +0000

We are halfway thru the month of February and the spring season is just around the corner. Earlier this month, our favorite groundhog Puxatawney Phil has predicted 6 more weeks of winter. There are 6 weeks of meteorological winter left anyway. However, it’s not too early to start thinking about the maintenance of your air conditioner or the purchase of a new one. Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning is already looking ahead and preparing ourselves for summer. With the extreme heat we suffered through last year, we need to be ready for anything our customers may need.

Call Early to Secure Your Maintenance Check

Four Seasons offers a 20+ point inspection and cleaning for your air conditioner, and you can go to our website and print out a money saving coupon. Weather plays a big part in when we can schedule our air conditioner cleanings, so lightening and chilly temperatures may mean we need to wait a little more than 6 weeks to schedule your appointment. However, the earlier you call the better! The customers that call in early get the best prices, the best availability, and the best energy savings during the summer.

If you want an estimate for a new air conditioner or to schedule your cleaning, you can inquire on the website or call Four Seasons directly at 708-444-1111. Don’t delay call or go online today.

A Small Crack becomes a Major Leak | Schaumburg, Stickney

Kate — Fri, 17 Feb 2012 08:00:00 +0000

The majority of homes have the furnace or boiler located in the basement of the home. Over the years we have noticed that this really isn’t the safest place for these valuable systems especially when most homes have little protection from the damaging effects that water can have upon a basement. What was once a solid wall began to develop cracks then leaks and now you have water problem in your basement. Homes that experience water damage in this way are usually not equipped to handle the water once it gets into the home. Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning and the Four Seasons plumbing experts have a solution to help keep the water away from your home.

Your Aging Foundation

As a home ages, the foundation begins to show signs of wear and tear. Where a sump pump may not have been necessary 10 or 15 years ago, it is not a desperately needed appliance to have installed in the home. The soul purpose of a sump pump is to divert water from the foundation of the home. If water starts coming into your basement, it is a sign that erosion has been occurring for years. Let Four Seasons lend you a hand and get a sump pump that is up to the task of keeping your basement dry.

Heavy Duty Sump Pumps

For other homes, there is a sump pump in place. The pump may appear to be working properly, but still many homes suffer with large amounts of water inside their homes every year. The problem may be somewhere in the sump pump lines, or your pump may not be powerful enough to handle the increasing amounts of water. Four Seasons offers high powered industrial grade sump pumps that could be what your home needs. Your old pump is probably pumping around 1,000 gallons or less per hour, but our pumps could help you move 2,770 gallons in the same amount of time. Call today to learn more and to ask how Four Seasons can protect your basement this spring.

Gas Prices Go Up, Keep Your Energy Costs Down | Plainfield, Skokie

Kate — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 08:00:05 +0000

There is already much talk about this summer’s gas prices. Some even speculate that they may hit the $5 per gallon mark, and for many of us, that price is simply outrageous. With the expenses you currently have, could you even afford to fill up your tank to get to and from work? For many, the answer may currently be no, but luckily there is still time between the end of winter and the heat of summer. Take this time to find ways where you could save money, and Four Seasons can help you get them done!

Affordable Services to Save You Money!

Another goal to keep in mind is that you probably don’t want to spend a lot in order to save during the summer. We understand this and we offer many affordable services that can make saving money this summer a piece of cake. Two services that will make a huge difference are duct sealing and air conditioner cleaning:

Duct Sealing: Old duct work or ducts that were not installed properly are often riddled with leaks. Having your Four Seasons handyman seal these leaks will allow your air conditioner and furnace to get their cooling and heating to the rooms in your home without loosing any along the way.
Air Conditioner Maintenance: This summer, air conditioner cleanings are going for the low price of $89.95. For that price, you will get a serviceman to clean out your entire cooling unit and the components of the furnace that are used during the summer season. This cleaning will restore energy efficiency to even the filthiest of units and make it easier for your system to cool your home this summer. The easier it is, the more money you save!

Are Noisy Pipes Disturbing the Peace in Your Home? | Buffalo Grove

Kate — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 08:00:57 +0000

Next to clogs and leaks, noises coming from the plumbing system in the home are among the top complaints made to plumbers by homeowners. There are many noises that may be coming from your pipes, but the most common pipe noise is called “water hammer.” Every time you turn off the flow of water, a hammering noise reverberates throughout the plumbing system in the home. Over time this noise becomes more than just an annoyance and turns into major plumbing problems. Four Seasons Home Services offers professional plumbing services that can rid your home of water hammer and any other noises your pipes may be making.

What is Water Hammer?

When a plumbing system is properly built, there should be enough air chambers to cushion the shock wave caused by the sudden stop of water flow through a sink, shower, or tub. If not, the reverberation caused by this shock wave can dislodge pipes and cause a huge mess. The noise alone is very disturbing and many homeowners want to know what Four Seasons can do to fix their problem.

Repairing Water Hammer:

Increase Number of Air Chambers: If the plumbing system was not installed properly to begin with, your home may not have enough air chambers. Our expert plumbers can install extra air chambers within the system and for many this is enough to solve the problem for good.
Clear, Clean, and Maintain Plumbing System: Another problem that many older homes face comes when the plumbing system has been poorly maintained. At Four Seasons we do yearly plumbing checks for many of our customers, and part of the assessment involves checking out the air chambers. These chambers can become water logged and that may be the reason why you have water hammer. Clean these out and your problem is history.

Plumbing Maintenance by Four Seasons

Maintaining your plumbing system may not seem like a major concern, but fail to do so, and the cost of the repairs will have you wishing you had acted sooner. Call Four Seasons Home Services today for a free estimate for your plumbing system maintenance, and you could eliminate noises and any other problem you may be having with your plumbing put in the past where they belong.

Quality Control | Chicago Ridge, Oak Lawn, Hometown, Alsip

Kate — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 08:00:10 +0000

There are many definitions of the word “quality.” The word itself has eight dictionary definitions and can be used in the contest of a number of different situations. The definitions of the word include phrases such as “degree of excellence” and “superiority in kind”. This is exactly how Four Seasons would define quality as we strive to provide every customer with a “quality” experience.

Defining True Quality

Potential customers of our products and services, or anybodies products and services for that matter, expect to hear self promotion of this kind. It would be absurd for any company to advertise that they are proud to provide you with low quality service and a sub par product. So how can any potential customer really know where the real quality lies? That answer is found in looking beyond the product, beyond the first service date or installation date, and beyond the price. True quality comes with the events that occur after you have made a selection and chosen who you will do business with.

Dedication to Your Peace of Mind

Four Seasons is dedicated to providing peace of mind and high quality in every stage in the process of choosing and purchasing equipment, but it does not stop there. After an installation is complete, our follow up. This ASSURANCE of comfort and quality is what sets us apart. We are happy to have Quality Control Supervisors return to your home at your convenience after an installation to be sure that you are 100% satisfied with the quality of the equipment you received both cosmetically and functionally. Along with this visit, a confidential and brief survey is given for you to communicate your concerns directly to management of Four Seasons. This is done so that we can address any problems you may have with your experience, and we will stop at nothing to make you feel comfortable. We will also take your recommendations to learn how we can service you and future customers even better. However, this is just the first step on the road to a strong, long lasting and trustworthy relationship with your heating and cooling company.

Quality beyond the Sale

Every year we’ll offer a discounted price to clean and check your air conditioner in the spring and furnace in the fall to ensure that your equipment is and will continue to be running at its peak efficiency. It doesn’t stop there. If your equipment does malfunction no matter if its 2 AM or 2 PM, July 4^th or Christmas Day our service department does not sleep!! We’ll be there to fix your problem as soon as possible, day or night holidays and weekends included for no additional cost.

There is no risk. We don’t just say we’ll give you quality, we’ll come back to make sure that quality is exactly what you’ve received from day one. Come see for yourself how Four Seasons defines the word QUALITY!

Total Temperature Control | Elmwood Park, Downers Grove, Elgin

Kate — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:00:23 +0000

Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has been called into countless homes that all have the same problem: uneven temperatures from room to room. For many of these homes, the problem can be traced back to an ancient boiler that has needed replacement for years. Some homeowners that have these old boilers want to get rid of them and upgrade to a high efficiency forced air furnace. However, the lack of duct work in the home is a major problem. Adding duct work requires extensive construction within the home, and the disturbance alone is enough to make you think twice about the replacement. Flexible duct work is one, not so attractive, option, but luckily, Four Seasons has another affordable and efficient system that could solve both of your problems.

Customizable Comfort

A Mitsubishi Electric individual room heating and cooling unit from Four Seasons is the answer! These units work by using one centralized condenser to power individual heating and cooling units that are located in the rooms of the home. Each unit can be controlled individually. This allows you to customize the temperature in each room and achieve maximum comfort with ease. These systems are easy to install and will not disturb the structure of the home the way that installing duct work will because they do not use ducts! These wall mounted systems are extremely quiet and energy efficient. As an added bonus they can also help improve the home’s indoor air quality! Each system doubles as a filtration system, and each filter is easy to clean and can last up to ten years!

What Are You Waiting For?

Stop settling for discomfort just because you have a boiler in the home! Have Four Seasons install a Mitsubishi Electric system in your home today and customizable comfort all year round! These units are way more affordable than you may assume and with the current financing options offered by Four Seasons, nearly anyone can afford to upgrade the comfort in their home now!

They know that, at the drop of a hat, we can go from running a couple hundred calls a day to running thousands of appointments a week! They want to make sure their system is in tip-top shape for the summer seasons and they want to make sure they get priority scheduling to do so.

Carefree Maintenance Program Savings

Our regular prices for cleanings are $129.95.

For $168 you will get both a furnace and an air conditioner cleaning, and the program comes with many other benefits as well. One additional benefit of the CMP program is priority service. This gives these customers more flexibility and convenience when scheduling their appointments, even during the busiest seasons.

Get the Day You Want

Our air conditioner and furnace tune-ups consist of a 20+ point inspection. Any Call Center Representative can go over the list of points with you and help you choose a day and time for your serviceman to perform the cleaning. Scheduling your appointment in advance is a great way to get the day you want, but the weather doesn’t always cooperate with our plans. The spring and early summer are full of thunderstorms and lightning, but Four Seasons will call you in advance to reschedule if the weather is less than perfect. Get a jump on the new season and schedule with Four Seasons today!

Kate — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:00:38 +0000

When you are looking for a new heating and cooling system or any HVAC services for that matter, choosing a heating and air conditioning company to rely on can seem like an overwhelming task. Flipping through the phone book alone will show you the vast number of companies out there to choose from, and not all of them are good. You can’t just choose anyone but the task alone will make you want to choose whoever you come across first. This could cost you hundreds if you make the wrong choice. Instead, ask yourself what you are looking for in your HVAC company.

Ask Yourself:

Does the Company have Award Winning Customer Service?: Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has received several awards for our customer service ethic. For the second year in a row we recently received the Dave Lennox Award, and for the seventh year in a row we have been awarded a special service award from a leading consumer review website. When you treat your customers with the respect they deserve it is noticed, and you can benefit from this type of service as well when you choose Four Seasons.
Is the Company Top Rated with the BBB?: The Better Business Bureau investigates complaints made by consumers about various companies. They also look into potential scams that certain companies may be running. Based on what they find, they hand out report card- like ratings. Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning carries the highest rating that the BBB has to offer: an A+.
Are They Available When You Are?: Some companies want you to work around their schedule, and for many this simply is difficult to do. What happens when the furnace breaks down after hours? When happens when you can’t take the day off work to have your maintenance check done? Well, when Four Seasons is your heating and cooling company, you can schedule your services when you need them at the time you need them done.

If these sound like qualities you are looking for in your HVAC company. You came to the right place. Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning is ready and waiting at your services when you need us most. All you have to do is call.

Kate — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:00:55 +0000

Frequently Changing Filters | Forest Park, Flossmoor, Evergreen Park

Kate — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 08:00:41 +0000

As Americans, we inherently have busy lives full of things to remember on a day to day basis. Maintaining the heating and cooling system may not be a task that needs to be completed every day, but for most, checking the furnace’s filter just once a month is still too much of a task to remember. In order to make sure things continue to work properly, many homeowners will invest in fancy filters that can last for multiple months, so that they don’t have to remember to change the filter every 30 days. However, some of these homeowners are finding that despite the manufacturer’s claims that the filter should last 3 months or longer, the filter still needs changing every 30 days. Before you blame the manufacturer, take a moment to consider that the problem might not be your filter; it might be your HVAC system and the air quality in your home!

Finding the Source of Air Quality Problems

It is recommended that once you replace your filter or upgrade to a new type of filter you check it every 30 days to make sure that it is able to handle to air quality in the home. For some, 30 days comes and the filter that is made to last 3-6 months is still in good conditioner. For others, the filter already needs to be changed. The problem lies within the home’s air quality. You may have animals or other factors that are contributing to the dirty air in the home or you may just have filthy ducts. As the furnace circulates air through them, debris is picked up and caught by the filter. When this debris is excessive, it can waste a filter in 30 days or less.

Four Seasons’ Air Quality Specialists

Four Seasons can help you get the most out of your fancy filters, but first we need to assess the air in your home. One of our Air Quality Specialists can assess your ducts and your heating and cooling systems to hopefully find the source of your problem. For some the problem is the air ducts and all that is needed is a professional air duct cleaning. For others, the furnace itself hasn’t been cleaned in years and all it needs is a good tune up. Our HVAC cleaning services can help get your home going in the right direction towards better air quality and a need for less month to month maintenance. Let Four Seasons assess your home today and breathe easier for years to come!

Exterior Improvements to Liven Things Up! | Joliet, Braidwood

Kate — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:00:28 +0000

With all of the holiday lights and decoration finally put away for the year, odds are your home’s exterior is looking pretty plain. The cold dreary winter doesn’t help the situation but something needs to be done to liven things up a bit. Take one of the warmer days this winter and put a little effort into improving your home’s exterior. By making certain improvements, you can bring life back into your home’s exterior no matter how miserable Chicago’s weather may be! Four Seasons Home Services has a few ideas that may be just what your home needs.

Affordable Upgrades and Repairs:

Line the Drive: Paving stones, decorative rocks, and brick can all be used to liven up an asphalt driveway. The installation is relatively simple, and Four Seasons has a variety of styles to choose from.
Sidewalk Lighting: The sidewalk leading up to the doorway of your home is a great place to make improvements. Four Seasons can replace old cracked concrete or replace concrete with paving stones to bring a more elegant look to the front of the home. If your sidewalk is in good shape, you may want to consider adding decorative lighting. This will add new dimension to the home’s exterior and it doubles as a safety mechanism for those that may not be as steady on their feet.
Replace the Garage Door: A dry old cracked garage door could be dragging down your home’s curb appeal. If the structure of the door is in good shape, Four Seasons can sand it down and add a fresh coat of paint. However, if the door has mechanical problems or has been dinged up or damaged, replacement may be a better option.
Hardware Upgrade: Simply low cost upgrades like updating the hardware on your doors is a cost effective way to make a noticeable improvement.
Custom Mailboxes: Does the mailman complain about your ancient mailbox? Have Four Seasons transform the way your home receives mail by building you a customized masonry mailbox. These beautiful creations will last for ages and they bring a new level of elegance to the exterior of the home.

Wifi Enabled Programmable Thermostats | Oakwood Hills, Palatine

Kate — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 08:00:28 +0000

Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has been installing programmable thermostats in homes across Chicagoland for many years now and the benefits of these thermostats have saved homeowners hundreds of dollars over the years. Now, there is an even easier way to get the most out of a programmable thermostat. Wifi enabled thermostats allow the homeowner added flexibility when it comes to setting the day to day program on the unit. The traditional programmable thermostat required manual setting changes and one forgotten adjustment could add up to extra cost that could have been avoided.

Added Benefits of a Wifi Enabled Programmable Thermostat

If you have a wifi network within the home, you can sync this thermostat with that network and access its settings from anywhere. Smart phones, tablets, and computers are all able to communicate with this device, so you could adjust the temperature from nearly anywhere. Instead of having to stick with one schedule every week, you can switch it up. Life is always changing from day to day, and these thermostats offer a new level of flexibility that simply could not be achieved with the old versions. For more information about these thermostats and to learn how you start saving more today, call Four Seasons!

Filling In the Hard to Reach Places | Burnham, Rolling Meadows

Kate — Mon, 30 Jan 2012 08:00:23 +0000

You can’t always control the way that your home was built. When you purchased the home odds are you were looking for the obvious flaws and when those were ruled out, everything seemed to be in order. However, many older homes suffer from problems that lie beneath the surface. The problem is that the older the home is the less air tight it was made. Insulating the walls and attic were not a priority at the time and many of these older homes experience air leaks and drafts that not only disturb comfort but they also cost the homeowners big bucks in energy costs. In the past, the only way to get in and add more insulation was to tear down the walls, fill, and then reseal them. However, with blown-in insulation from Four Seasons, you can add insulation to nearly any crevice in the home without tearing the walls down.

Popular Places to Add Insulation

Attics: Attics in older homes often have little to no insulation within them. Any insulation that was placed has long since settled and is offering little protection. Have Four Seasons pump in a fresh thick layer of fiberglass and give your home an air tight cap to help keep heat in this winter.
Crawl Spaces: Many older homes have crawl spaces that lack insulation. A crawl space can be as cold as the chilliest of winter nights and that cold air will seep into your warm home if you do not prevent it from happening. Simply have Four Seasons fill in the spaces with fresh insulation and eliminate this source of heat loss.
Walls Dividing Un-conditioned Areas in the Home: Un-conditioned areas of the home are most often an attic or basement, but many homes also share walls with an attached un-insulated garage. This wall could be the reason your energy bills are so high during the peak of the winter and summer seasons, but Four Seasons can eliminate this issue without disturbing your home.

Cost Effective Insulation Services

Adding insulation to the home is an extremely cost effective way to save money on your energy bills and increase your comfort overall. This affordable service performed by Four Seasons can be done in a day and you will start saving right away. Call today to learn more about areas of your home that could benefit from added insulation.

The Federal Tax Rebates may be long gone in 2012, but that doesn’t mean you can’t save on the purchase of a new furnace and air conditioner this winter! Residents of Chicago and Northern Illinois can take advantage of rebates offered by Peoples Gas and Nicor. For a limited time, the local gas companies have partnered with ComEd to offer hundreds of dollars in rebates towards the purchase of select furnace and air conditioning systems. These high efficiency furnaces and air conditioners carry significant rebates of up to $400 per unit. In total, you can get up to $800 in rebates when you purchase a new energy efficient furnace and air conditioner. Even if you choose to only purchase a furnace you can still get rebates of up to $200.

Savings on Top of Savings!

In addition to the savings offered by your natural gas company, there are other savings still available when you get your furnace through Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning. We offer our customers Lennox Home Comfort Systems, and Lennox is offering rebates on their furnaces and air conditioners also. That means you can combine your gas company rebates with manufacturer rebates from Lennox for even more savings. As the largest Lennox dealer and leading HVAC company in the Chicagoland area, Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning can install your new home comfort system, assist with obtaining rebates and provide exceptional customer service.

Remodeling Your Home? Have Your HVAC System Cleaned

Kate — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 08:00:36 +0000

Having work performed in the home can create quite a mess. From dirty floors and walls to construction dust on every surface, getting the home back to its original condition after the repairs or remodeling jobs have been completed can prove to be quite a task. Many construction companies will clean up after themselves, but nearly all of them forget about the mess they made of one very crucial system in the home: the HVAC system! All of that dust, debris, and odor will be swept up into the duct work to be transferred through the furnace and then re-circulated throughout the home. Depending on how extensive the work was, you may have a serious air quality and furnace efficiency problem leftover. You are going to need someone to clean up this system, and Four Seasons has got your back.

Cleaning Up After Construction

Duct Cleaning: Many homeowners have never had the ducts cleaned in the home, so odds are they are not only full of construction debris but also years and years of particle build up. A professional duct cleaning from Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning is the only way to restore this part of the system back to peak performance and bring clean air back into your home. Without this service, you could be left breathing in construction dust for years to come.
Heating and Cooling Cleaning: With all of that debris circulating through the ducts, it will have to pass through the furnace and air conditioner as well. If you aren’t using advanced filtration system to capture these particles before they dirty up the furnace, then you probably have a mess inside your system that could be causing a massive decrease in energy efficiency. Burners and heat exchangers that are coated in a layer or dust and debris cannot transfer heat as effectively and energy efficiency suffers. You will end up paying more to use the furnace every month because the system will need to burn more fuel to keep up.
