Perri-Aire, Inc.

We have been using Perri-Aire for over 10 years. Perry has vast experience and is expert at what he does. On more than one occasion, he has responded to our HVAC "emergencies" very quickly and with fair and honest prices. Over the years, he has proven to be a trustworthy and dependable HVAC contractor.

We use Perry Aire often for our commercial real estate business, but I have also used him for my home HVAC needs. Perry is knowledgeable and often times has repair solutions that help you save money, when other HVAC technicians might suggest costly replacement. I highly recommend this company!

When my furnace sounded like a jet plane taking off, I knew I needed help right away. I called Perry and shared a video with him and it became clear that he needed to replace the motor. He found a replacement and came out the same day to install it. While he was here, he checked the exhaust pipe and noticed it was sagging and accumulating some moisture. We propped it up to clear the airflow and prevent any water from building up in the line. Perry did great work and went the extra mile to make sure everything else was working smoothly. I highly recommend him for your HVAC needs.

Perri-Aire have been my heating/cooling service provider for at least 7 or 8 years, and I couldn’t be happier with them. Kathy is always incredibly friendly and helpful on the phone, and Perry is truly knowledgeable and professional - apart from just being a really great and funny guy. We have an old Victorian house, so it takes someone with genuine understanding and knowledge to deal with the issues that arise. Apart from general annual maintenance on both the cooling and heating, Perry has fixed old leaking radiators and ultimately a couple of years ago he had to entirely replace our furnace and boiler. It’s at times like that when you really appreciate having someone totally trustworthy and reliable to give you the confidence that you are doing the right things. I would recommend Perri-Aire to anyone.

Perri Aire has been our primary (and favorite) heating/cooling company for nearly the past decade. They serviced our old home as well as our new home. Prompt, friendly, professional service each and every time. We really appreciate the attention to detail around unit maintenance, cleaning and repair, as well as the reminders and education about the specific heating/cooling in our home. Thank you Perri Aire! Highly recommend!

I had a recent problem with my boiler. I called Perri Aire first as I'd used them many times in the past. Perry squeezed me in quickly and came within short notice. He was courteous, very thorough, explained my existing problem and got my heat back on in no time. He did a clean job for a very fair price. I've always found him trustworthy, skilled and very fair. I couldn't ask for a better HVAC provider.

Perry is very reliable and has saved us in both summer and winter HVAC crises. Our SpacePak AC system would freeze up after just a few hours of running and the typical fixes that other technicians suggested (basically, more refrigerant) had no effect. Perry evacuated the system, installed a freeze stat and new filter drier and the system finally started running well. We had even more, unrelated problems with the system (corroded circuit board, broken thermostat) and Perry always came out immediately to diagnose and fix the problem. He always checks up hours and days later too, which is very comforting. He’s done great work on our hot water boiler as well - heroically getting it to re-light at 3 in the morning in -20 weather! I’m so grateful that we found him.

Perri-Aire has been taking care of the HVAC of my Wrigleyville 3-flat since they started business in 1987. This included maintaining the original boiler and steam heat, and then transitioning all 3 units to individually controlled gas forced air and air conditioning with all of the associated ductwork . Perri-Aire also installed radiant floor heating when the 1st floor was duplexed with the unfinished basement. I have had an annual maintenance program in place with Perri-Aire since day-one. Per the contract, they performed the annual furnace clean and check and filter replacement in the late fall. I am happy to report that during the recent article blast, all 3 units maintained a comfortable temperature as set per the thermostat, and the radiant-heated floor on the lower level was warm to walk on. I highly recommend Perri-Aire for all of your HVAC maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and new construction needs. Pete W.

I’ve been using Perri-Aire for all my HVAC work since the 1980’s. The first instance was when our boiler just stopped working one evening on, of course, a very cold night outside. My wife and I looked up one of the larger HVAC companies in the phone book and they came out to check it out. They looked over our boiler, which was only about 10 years old at the time, and said there was really nothing that could be done to it and the smart thing to do would be to just install a new boiler, for about $2500. The kicker was when one of those service guys said “it’s really the smartest thing to do, especially with 2 small kids in the house”. We could tell that we were being played, and always have had a policy to never make snap decisions like that without thinking it over for a while. We thanked them, got them out, and then started looking for other estimates. Fortunately, we had Perri-Aire come out to check it out, and Perry informed us that it was just a simple thermo-coupling that needed replacing, and took care of the repair for a nominal fee and we were back up running with heat. That boiler lasted for several years without any further problems. Over the years we upgraded that boiler with an ultra high efficiency unit, along with the water heater, and have done extensive remodeling on the house, all using Perri-Aire as our HVAC expert. We now have the most luxurious and comfortable heat imaginable; radiant floor heat in several areas of our vintage 1920 bungalow, including in the new “bump-up” master bedroom suite, remodeled bathrooms and kitchen. I have to point out that unless you have lived with radiant heat you simply can’t know how comfortable and unobtrusive a heat system can be. We also had Perri-Aire install 2 separate central AC units for ultimate zone control and year round comfort. I wouldn’t think of using any other HVAC company. Perri-Aire has earned our highest recommendation. Thanks for almost 3 decades of great service.

We've used Perri Aire twice, both times for when our central air-conditioning failed; both times it was an inexpensive and quick repair. We're glad to have found an A/C repair company we can trust.

Perry does great work! He is very knowledgeable, responsive, helpful, and fairly priced! Highly recommend!

Perry from Perri-Aire is the absolute best! Great customer service, great prices, and top quality work!

Perry has been doing our annual maintenance every year for the past 10 years or so. Always prompt. Always professional. Extremely knowledgeable.

Don't bother calling this company for Ice Machine Sanitizing!!! Woman was very rude and doesn't want any new business....so much for supporting small businesses 😕 …

These are the ONLY folks I trust with my heating and cooling. End of story.

This has been a very good experience. Work was done on a very timely basis and everyone was great to work with. Work was completed in the time frame stated. Very professional. After install was complete we had a few questions and they were answered immediately. Excellent customer service. Would highly recommend Perri-Aire. <br />

Called the office and received an appointment when I requested. They were prompt and took only one hour to complete the task. <br /> Our association in the past has had other homeowners use him and were satisfied. <br />

The recommendation was that two boilers needed to be replaced due to flood damage. After reviewing the approximate $11,000.00 estimate to replace two boilers that were partially submerged in our flooded basement, I decided to do a little research. I searched the manufacturer's name and was led to PerriAire as a service representative. When I went to their web site, there was a blog that addressed the concerns of homeowners who had experienced flooded basements. It said that all parts should be replaced. I had never considered replacing parts, since I was never given that choice. I called the manufacturer and they agreed that it was possible that parts could be replaced. As a result, PerriAire came out and cleaned and inspected both units and ordered the parts needed to repair the units. The service was quick and efficient and the cost was less than half of the estimate to replace the units. It goes without saying that PerriAir are my new heating and air conditioning specialists and I would give them a very high recommendation. They could have said that the units needed to be replaced. Instead they were honest and I appreciated the savings. Honesty, integrity, and good service deserve a good recommendation.

I didn't actually meet with them. They serviced 10 or 12 units in our association. There was another person that met with them and was on site when they did the work. There haven't been any problems and it was pretty painless. There wasn't anything wrong with the unit it was just regular service. It worked before and after they came out. They were willing to work with us and it was unusual because there were multiple units involved. They gave us a better rate because of the multiple units.

He could handle our kind of furnace. The experience was OK. It wasn't outstanding. He recommended some more work and we decided not to do it. We had no way of knowing if it was legitimate. He was here on time and the furnace is running good. It took him a couple of hours to get the work done.

A couple of years ago, my A/C was very loud and I contacted Perri Aire. I was very pleased with the result and signed up for annual inspections to avoid potential costly replacement. My A/C was also very loud over my 2nd bdrm and he recommended pads which helped alot. He is thorough and makes suggestions/recommendations and explains preventative maintenance issues, so anyone can understand. Filters installed on the Heater is commercial type, not the skinny type we have to purchase quarterly. The filters last 6-9 months. I have been pleased with his service and would highly recommend this Company.
