Reviews of American Vintage Home Heating, Cooling & Plumbing
Frank Pokorny
Mike has again provided superior installation services, the first a few years ago installing the SpacePac heating and A/C equipment for our upper floor and most recently replacing our separate boiler and hot water heater with an integrated "on demand" unit. He and Alexi are talented, congenial and efficient, and readily answered any questions my spouse and I had about the equipment's operations.
The same kudo's to Pete who worked with us on the equipment selection and proposal.
We have been AVH customers since 1997 when after purchasing our Chicago bungalow decided that the main floor needed a SpacePac A/C unit to complement our separate hot water radiator heating system. Our decision to select AVH was in large part due to the owner's sensitivity to ensuring that the visible portions of the system had a minimal visual presence in the living areas. Thank you JR for your creativity then, and for building a business whose staff have been satisfying our HVAC and plumbing needs over the years - and in the future.

Gus has been amazing. We own a home built in the 50s that have had close to no renovations. They have been working with us to fix the water heater, waste-line, and toilet. It is a big task, but they have worked very diligently and quickly. I would recommend this company for sure. Shout out again to Gus for being so informative, and doing such good work for us.
Ashley Vonasek
New homeowners of a 100 year old bungalow with a 30 year old boiler system. John F was our educated, friendly, professional, down-to-earth tech who thoroughly inspected our old-but-good-condition boiler. We told him we’re first-time owners of a boiler + radiators & he took extra time to show us the anatomy of the boiler, what to look out for, tips for maintaining parts of it ourselves & was patient answering all sorts of our questions. Inspection took about 2 hours & was a reasonable $144. We plan to use American Vintage & John for any future HVAC needs. Great experience all-around!
Janelle Neville
We used American vintage for a replacement of our HVAC system. We got several quotes and they worked with us on price to be able to understand the product. They called us a few weeks before our scheduled install to let me know they had an opening and could install sooner if we wanted. They finished in 1.5 days instead of the predicted 3 days.
The staff were courteous and responsive.
We picked them because of their competitive price but mostly because they gave us more time then other companies. We appreciated that we felt our large financial decision was taken seriously with American vintage and their team.
Would recommend!
Cindy Zucker
Roberto and Jorge replaced our 50 year old steam boiler with a new steam boiler. They were professional, extremely competent, and efficient. They finished sooner than expected and tested the new boiler which works much more efficiently than the old one. The demolition crew headed by Enrique also worked quickly and found a way to bring in the new boiler even when it seemed like an impossible task. It was a very well done project and I highly recommend American Vintage Home.
Joe Logue
Mario and Edwin were excellent. Very friendly, professional, and did quality work. They installed a spacepak system in our 100yr old home. They did an excellent job communicating during the entire process. They really made the entire experience an excellent experience. The system is working great and has our house feeling comfortable in every room.
Jack Dehring
We have been customers for several years and have always been very happy with the service. A few nights ago we came home to a flooded basement and called them outside of business hours. The call center they used told us someone would call us back soon. They called us back in less than 15 minutes and did a video chat to help us turn off all the water to the home and then they had a person at my door in under an hour. The customer service is always amazing and this person they sent was so helpful while my family was still panicked about the damage. They found the leak and repaired the pipe quickly and gave us suggestions for what to do going forward. Fantastic company 12/10 would use again.
Cindy B
Gregory was phenomenal, professional, polite, and explained everything in terms I could understand. Not only did he troubleshoot the initial issue accurately, he suggested the best way to repair it. He is truly an asset to this company, and I would highly recommend him and this company for any future issues. He even replaced valves in two tennant's apartments, despite a language barrier. Fantastic. Our system is old and was not properly maintained for decades, but with his help we were able to avoid a total repalacement of entire system, thus saving thousands. Great company, great technician.
Alex Massey
John at American Vintage was absolutely brilliant. This was the 3rd company to come out to look at my heating and the first that thought practically about the issue and how to fix it rather than just trying to sell me a new system. He explained the issue and the options and was very honest the whole time. I can’t recommend him highly enough. I will only be using them going forward. Thank you John!
Bryan West
Greg from American Vintage was personable, professional, and educational. As new home owners in a 97 yr old home, Greg took the time to walk us through how to properly run our heating system without making us feel like complete idiots. He was empathetic to our questions and left us feeling empowered to effectively operate in the future. AVH, you have a top-notch employee.
Brent Sigg
We’ve always been happy with AVH - from the install five years ago to the annual maintenance service. Today Gregory did an excellent job. He was very thorough and appeared to be training another technician. Super friendly, explained the status of the system, and answered all of my questions. Have always been treated well by AVH.
Keven Sutherland
American Vintage was phenomenal! I got a new HVAC system and WH installed in my condo. Not a simple project for a 100-year old building. The crew made the process as smooth as I could have asked for! The project was complete on time (even with some unexpected hurdles along the way). Money well spent!
Victor Lewis
Excellent visit by tech - on time, efficient, fixed the one issue he located with a clear explanation. I love this business and had them install my current replacement furnace. Highly recommend.
Mara Baker
Highly recommend this company. I got lots of quotes, they were slightly more expensive, but you get what you pay for and it was well worth the money to have efficient ac and new heater installed in my vintage home. They know what they are talking about, are professional, show up on time, and leave the house spotless.
Jeff Lareau
American Vintage Home installed the SpacePak high velocity central AC system in our 1910 home. Cesar and his team were excellent! They were on time, communicative, respectful, accommodating, clean, easygoing, and nice to our dogs. They even finished the job ahead of schedule. Highly recommended.
Mike Judy
Bobby did an excellent job. The team was working on the boiler install from 7am until 11pm. They were hard working, professional, clean, courteous and kind. The job was done exceptionally well. I highly recommend.
Guy Visconti
John F. Came as promised and was done quicker than we thought. He came to fix a leaking Radiator that we had shut the auto feed off for now, since we are not using heat at the moment, and stopped the leak for now. He noticed that the valve went bad where the knob is located on the lower half of the radiator. This would explain why the nut would come loose on its own and start leaking more rapidly. Also, would explain why the radiator wasn't filling up with water all the way. He replaced it, and turned the auto feed on, to make sure the radiator filled back up, and no recurring leaks. I will definitely call American Vintage home for any older home repairs on Heating systems. Thanks John F. for doing such a great job, and doing it so quickly!
Lyle Kay
I used American Vintage Home for a complete furnace and AC install and I couldn't be happier. Their quote came in quite a bit less expensive than another competitor that I've used for the past 20 years (and it was an apples-to-apples comparison because both quotes were for the exact same equipment). The installers arrived on-time, were very professional, and worked diligently for many hours on the install. I also appreciated them spending time showing me all the problems with my old unit (i.e. various holes in the ductwork that weren't plugged, flexible ductwork located in a place where it should have been permanent, etc.) and they fixed those issues at no additional cost to me. I could tell that the main person assigned to my job had a great deal of knowledge and many years of experience on HVAC installations and I was confident everything would be done right. After the install was complete, they removed all the garbage and debris, and then spent time showing me everything I needed to know about the system (how to replace the air filter and humidifier insert, how to read the digital codes on the system if I needed service in the future, etc.) It's been a few days since the installation and our home is nice and warm while it's freezing outside. I couldn't be more pleased with AVH and I plan on using them for any future HVAC and plumbing issues.
Christine Tyler
I found this company around 7 years ago . They do a great job and they inform you of what needs to be done right away or things that can be put off for a while. I enrolled in their maintenance plan which keeps are furnace and air conditioner units running and avoid on coming issues which is a great service. Technicians are on time and friendly.
Shaun Pallardy
We had an issue with our boiler and Greg from American Vintage was at our door within an hour and fixed everything quickly and also took us through all the things we needed to know to properly maintain our broiler and radiators (which was all new to us). HUGE thank you to Greg and American Vintage - highly recommend!
Glennon Bythrow
Bobby at AVH helped us install a whole-home humidifier on our furnace, a humidistat, and new thermostat yesterday. The company was responsive and helpful the entire way, they even adjusted the install strategy to avoid having to shut water off to my condo complex. Bobby was very professional and clearly did great work. He walked me through all of the details of my new systems clearly, which was much appreciated. Recommend! I’ll be using them for all furnace/ HVAC related things moving forward
Kyeong-Sook Park
The repair on taco valve was done a week or so ago, and I wanted to wait and see how the heating would work before posting my review. Not 100% sure if the heating in the rest of my unit is working properly at this point as two rooms are warm and the rest are not cold. Wish he had taken more time to cover all the territory, especially considering how much I was charged for the repair.
Terry Clark
High quality installation of new boiler and associated copper plumbing. Gabriel was very considerate and informative with me, the homeowner, throughout the complex 2 day job. Very satisfied!
Ed Walsh
American Vintage installed an whole home dehumidifier and replaced our whole home humidifier and air filter housing. Our situation presented a few challenges. Space is limited in our home, especially in the HVAC closet. The way the HVAC system was designed and installed when the home was built (20+years ago) was not optimal. When we recently had our furnace and AC replaced by another company the installation was done poorly. American Vintage did a great job of making it work despite all of these challenges. Craig was very helpful in specing out the job and Greg went over and above to provide a high quality install. I highly recommend these guys!!
Bob Davies
I had another HVAC company that came out, charged me $300 in labor and told me they needed to order a part and come back again for a total expected cost of $1,000. Instead I called American Vintage. After being onsite for less than 20 minutes, he fixed the problem with a part on his truck and I paid a total of $150 including labor. They are professional, on time and explain the work they perform.
Racheal Kash
Mike did a seamless yet very thorough installation of a boiler system for our home. He was friendly, and knowledgeable sharing with us all the details of services performed.
Wei Jiang
The technician Mr. Ninos performed winter checkup for the heating system in my house. He did a thorough and careful examination and explained everything to me clearly. Excellent work!
Lee Ann Waszak
Dominick was very professional, patient and answered all of my questions. He also was very prompt in arrival. He did a thorough check on my HVAC system as well as my Hot Water Tank and made me feel confident that everything was working properly before leaving. Thank you AVH and thank you Dom!
Amy Klein-Alter
American Home Vitage has cared for our HVAC system for over 20 years. They are always professional, reliable, conscious of costs and their technicians are knowledgeable, professional and such nice people. Special shout out to Curtis, Greg and Idir who are our regular PM techs and such incredible professionals and people. We highly recommend American Home Vintage.
Julie Anne Fleck
Super helpful, informative, explored many options for a dripping tank on a 95 year old toilet tank. Talked short term and long term solutions, and no pressure for immediate decisions. Thank you!! Look forward to working w them in the future.
Richard Bennett
Curtis arrived in time and performed the maintenance efficiently and professionally. He identified an issue with the boiler that could potentially caused problems. He gave me quote on the cost and corrected it quickly and told me I how to correct the problem for future occurrences.
Jym Bates
This was the second time I've used their services and wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Theis people are Both friendly and professional. Nick, did a fantastic job and helped to guide me in the direction for beter maintenence of my system as well.
Geoffrey Tiffany
Greg, is awesome, he got my old nasty steam radiators working again. This winter our condo will not be a Roman Steam Bath, he taught us how to turn down the heat and installed all new regulators! Thank you thank you thank you!
Kathy Ramos Kurland
Curtis did an excellent job explaining all my issues with my heating system and described the parts that needed replacement. He was very nice and professional!
Ken Cox
This is the best hvac firm in the Chicago area they are professional, punctual and friendly. My repairman was very patient and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. Look no further.
Julee Brennan
Gio and Arturo install a new SpacePak system to replace our old one. Gio was very good at keeping us informed of their progress each day. Job was completed in 4 days and when I noticed a few issues Gio came right back and fixed them all explaining what he was doing as he worked. Now to test it when the heat comes this summer then I can update the review regarding the effectiveness of the SpacePak.
Thomas Siegel
Greg did a professional and efficient repair on our high efficiency boiler and radiator heating system. This was an emergency situation due to extreme cold. This was not an easy problem to solve, yet Greg methodically worked the problem to a successful conclusion. Further American Vintage Home did not pressure him to move on to another job, rather they understood that heating problems take time to solve correctly. So thanks to Eddie for coordinating the effort during a very busy time of year for heating repairs.
Thank you
Janet Zimmerman
Excellent from start to finish. Professional. Efficient. Friendly. Patient. American Vintage was recommended by a friend and I will now use them again for other repairs. Highly recommend.
Sandra Morgan
We called late in the day and they had Sam out as quickly as he could. He devised a stop gap to keep us warm and then the company expedited getting a new part and installed the next day
Bruce Wilson
I thought they did an excellent job. They arrived on time and completed the install as promised. They were very courteous and they answered all my questions . I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.
Lorelei Eilert
Nick was very patient with all of our questions and considerate about tidying up after fixing the pipes that had burst. I would say he did an excellent job.
Debbie Swain
Tom was so kind and professional. He came in went straight to work on my unit. Made suggestion on what I should do when the time comes. I really appreciate American Vintage Home and their techs.
Sherwood Commons
Diagnosed problem with faulty hot water boiler for 18 unit condominium building. Replaced with new unit and fixed up problems previous crew had left behind when another part of the system was replaced five years previously.
Eliza Lourdes

Update: We have also since used them for a plumbing issue and everything went great, our tech Gus was awesome!
Greg, who was awesome, came out to attach a Nest connector to our Spacepak so that we could utilize our Nest thermostat. He was quick, efficient and very helpful. Richard at AHV was extremely helpful in getting the right person for the job.
_______________________
American Vintage came highly recommended to us through SpacePak's corporate offices. I reached out to them to find a certified tech who would come take a look at the condenser, SpacePak unit and humidifier on a home we are in contract to purchase when our inspector mentioned a second opinion on it should be done. Based on those initial thoughts from our inspector we were overwhelmed thinking that this would be a heavy cost which could ruin the entire deal.
American Vintage's owner personally reached out to me after I spoke with customer service, even though we are into a cold month he assured me they could help. He was very kind, knowledgeable and understood my concerns. He agreed to send someone, thus giving us great peace of mind we weren't walking into a possible costly consequence.
Our tech came out and was great! knowing the background provided to the company he could have very easily "taken" us for something, anything, suggesting it needed some sort of repair or maintenance but he didn't. He assured us it was in excellent condition and everything looked great and that there was no need for anything further. We are so grateful and will definitely call them for any future needs should they arise.
Elena Z
This was our annual maintenance visit for our 38 year old boiler. Ninos was timely, responsive and left us with a list of options to ensure longevity of the boiler. As always, AVH is a pleasure to do business with.
Rae Duncan
Tim was outstanding!! He arrived after business hours but stayed to do the job. Great personality and report. He had found some issues with a drain that were unseen by prior technicians. He ordered parts and fixed everything. It was an excellent experience and we are very happy. Tim is amazing.
Nancy Starkman
Tom performed the annual maintenance on the boilers for my 2 condo units. He noticed that 1 system did not have a back-water valve, and explained the importance of having that and potential problem that could result without it. As a result, I ordered the part and will have him install it.
He spoke of his years of experience servicing boilers, which instilled confidence in his knowledge and expertise in his ability to identify potential problems and take measures to avert them!
Jacob Klein
I had a fantastic experience with American Vintage Homes. They replaced our HVAC system. They were very honest and upfront with the costs and were always responsive. Bobby and Ian did a great job. As a realtor I will be recommending their services to all my clients. I worked with Bruce with everything and it was a great experience. Thank you guys!
Sharp Sorensen
Idir was very pleasant, professional and explained everything very clearly. No pressure. Very much appreciate the scheduling process and calls to update time of arrival.
Michael Nolan
Nick was great. Diagnosed problem quickly and offered helpful options. Would definitely use again.
Paul Morse
Mario proved to be a very proficient installer, working mostly by himself. The six days of of the job included some of the hottest days thus far of the summer, during which he worked steadily in our attic hanging the second floor air handler, and fabricating and assembling the air distribution ductwork, refrigerant and drain piping, and electrical power and control wiring. Over the entire course of the work, Mario's knowledge and skills were spot-on for the requirements of the job, and he was focused, careful, and responsive to my comments and questions. The final overall product seems to be top-notch.
Angela Harrison
The technicians are always very courteous and professional. They do a thorough job of cleaning and maintaining our system, which will ensure many years of comfort. American Vintage Home is the only company ill trust with my HVAC needs.
Damon Taylor
This is the fifth or sixth call we have made to AVH. Matt came to install a new water heater and vents in our basement. The work was done in a very timely manner and Matt was a pleasure to work with. Excellent company, excellent technicians!
Susan Wagner
I’ve had nothing but good experiences with American Vintage Home. They come quickly, keep you informed on their timeline. Every technician has been thorough and polite. I’ve been happy with all of them.
Robert Fleming
My A/C went out during the summer when temperatures were in the 90's. I called American Vintage Home and they were very fast to check out my system. Since my furnace and A/C unit were pretty old, we decided to replace them both (didn't have a choice with the A/C unit). Craig with AVH did a great job in going over the options for replacement. Greg and Will were the installers and did a fantastic job. They worked non-stop to get cooling going for me since the temperatures were over 80 degrees in the house. The install job was prefect and the equipment is working nicely. I couldn't be happier with the job that they did. Overall, I was very please with the whole experience with AVH. Thank you.
Terry Maloney
I had Curtis come over as my HVAC service technician and Craig come over as an engineer and both employees were knowledgeable, polite, and took time to explain what my options are. I'm still researching my options but I'm very impressed with the service I've received so far.
Ruth Wenger
Great service! Very thorough and gave great explanations. Very happy with his service at our house.
Lisa Miceli
I have been using them for about 25 years & have always had terrific & knowledgeable service. I refer them to clients all of the time!
Kyla Maloney
Idir was great to work with, we feel very comfortable that he was diligent with the details and up front about next steps. Unlike other companies we have contacted, it didn’t feel like he was trying to upsell us or rush us into anything.
Updating after installation: this was a wonderful experience from end to end - the work and team were both professional, neat, and precise. Our home is not only comfortable, but they improved the drainage system from our humidifier and reduced a hazard from a previous vent. Every question was answered, and we feel confident that if we have any further questions they will be answered promptly and professionally by the team.
TOTAL FAITH in our HVAC system now, and it feels amazing.
Ryan Douglas Wells
Curtis and Remon were both outstanding. They were direct and professional with enough experience to tell me what I needed to know. They were courteous and personable and I hope to see them again in the future!
Jk
From the time making appointment to receiving invoice, the crew bring clear communication followed by one-time professional service. The technicians walk me through the process of the visit and repair report at the end.
Erin Drain
I cannot speak highly enough of Gabriel and Alexis from American Vintage Home, who did our SpacePak installation. This was an investment we deliberated over for many months, and we are so satisfied with the system and in particular the service. AVH has a reputation for being the best to serve older homes like ours, and the problem-solving alone required to install a great system in a house not originally designed for one is enormous. Thanks to Andrew, Kevin, Gabriel and both Alexii for their work!
John Nicolson
Sam is an excellent professional who really helped us understand the reasons for the problems we had. Highly recommended, ask for him by name!
Letitia Mann
Tim was professional, friendly, super competent. He has been to our place to repair a variety of old plumbing over the years, and each time it’s a great experience.
neil keane
My tech was on time within the window given. Very professional and quick. Helped not just with the repair I needed but showed me some good steps and tricks for our day-to-day and future projects. Highly recommend them for your home needs.
snitramc smith
Boiler repair. Techs were prompt, acted efficiently and had our heat back on in about 20 minutes. Would use them again.
dawn russell
Absolutely fantastic tech, arrived promptly with a smile and mission to fix the weird heating issue in our 100 year old building. Fixed! A+++
David Allen
We got the whole works done with American Vintage. We had them install a SpacePak system, a wall boiler, floor and wall radiant heating and a flood control. These guys are very knowledgeable and able to answer any questions. What was great that if we had a problem, Dmitri was quick to address them. Highly recommended. We're so glad we went with them and very happy with the finished product!
Alison Duncombe
He explained the situation with our A/C very clearly and arranged for us to speak to an engineer about options to resolve our problem. He was very personable and efficient.
C. Burke
American Vintage Home did an excellent job of sourcing the parts we needed, and Ninos installed them most efficiently.
Scott Jacobsen
Great Company!! Always prompt, on time and courteous!!! Highly Recommended! Greg did an AMAZING job installing our new HVAC system. A true magician to fit the system and such a difficult install. He was amazing.
Carol Schultz
Mario did a very professional and neat job. We are very happy with the work that was completed. He and the entire team at American Vintage Home communicated all information clearly, and were always available if we had questions. We appreciate everything and will definitely recommend to family and friends. Thank you so much!
Stefanie Wright
What a positive experience! I can't say enough in praise of everyone at American Vintage Home, from the quick and courteous scheduling by the office staff to the service provided in my home by Nick. Home repairs can be super stressful but Nick was efficient, and explained each step clearly when he replaced the century old pipes in our bathroom and dramatically improved our shower and sink drainage. I especially appreciate that he communicated in a thoughtful and unbiased manner. This major repair was done quickly despite the holiday! I am very grateful and pleased with the completed project. Thank you!
Marnie Ware
Gus was extremely professional and helpful and took the time to explain the problems to me very clearly. He shared all options and gave us a number of alternatives so we could make the best choices at the best price. This company is totally responsive, fast and compassionate when you have an emergency and you’re freaking out. Highly recommend!
Connie S
Greg was really great! Very personable & explained the problem well & fixed the problem. Really nice guy too.
Kate Edwards
I have used American Vintage Home in the past and they have always been knowledgeable and prompt. During my recent SpacePak AC install, Bobby was amazing. I had a lot of questions and some requests about placement and he double checked on my specific asks. He really went above and beyond. overall, super professional and easy to work with!
Kathleen Dolan
Explained exactly what the problems were. Very knowledgeable about the system that needed repairs and when he answered questions. Will call him again
Mary Offerman
First time customer and working with American Vintage was wonderful! They were so accommodating to my schedule, communicative, and professional. John, the technician, was thorough, informative and nice! AND, I got all this while using a coupon! Wonderful. Wonderful.
Freetown Wellington
Thanks for going above and beyond explaining our plumbing issue. He did a great job explaining and even not charging us for the extra work.
C. N.
Greg with American vintage home was seriously wonderful. He was not only knowledgeable but his work on our home looked perfect. He stuck to the timeline he quoted and exceeded our expectations the entire project. I would highly recommend
Bryn Grisham
We decided to get a mini split AC installed in our 100+ year old condo. Our experience with American Vintage Home was great. We liked everyone we worked with. The installation was complex and they approached it with care and real know-how. And the system is whisper quiet, as advertised. Very much recommended!
Michael Ward
This is the second time we had Tim provide plumbing services for us. Last October he did an excellent job installing a new hot water heater. Yesterday he repaired four bathroom faucets, two shower mixers and replaced a rain shower fixture. He is knowledgeable, efficient, and easy to work with. We have recommended him by name to our neighbors.
Joshua Margaritondo
Great experience with Andrew! He was super helpful and did great work. I would definitely recommend him for all your plumbing needs. We had a leaking spigot in our garage and he fixed it promptly and helped us find the water shutoff behind the drywall in our basement for all our outdoor spigots to help avoid further issues.
Tawnya McVicker
Boiler wasn’t sending heat to the radiators. John F fixed, was knowledgeable, professional & was willing to share his expertise.
Patty Lea
We had a new space pak installed in our 100 year old house. Greg and his team had to find innovative ways to install the ductwork in a house with very few closets! The crew was very professional, timely, and left the house clean & orderly. Before Greg left, he explained all the workings of the new equipment and offered tips on how to best use and take care of our new system.
Kerry Shiman
Called American Vintage Home about a clogged bathroom sink drain. Clog was behind the wall, not in the P-trap, and I was hesitant to use an auger/snake on my own, due to the age of the drain pipe, and was worried about making a hole in the side of it. Tony, one of their plumbers, came out the same day. I expressed my concern about the age of the pipe and snaking it, and Tony was instead able to use a special compressed air machine to force out the clog. Within minutes of him arriving, the sink was draining again perfectly. Tony even took a few minutes of his time to answer a few unrelated questions I had about my main drainage stack. Thanks to Tony and AVH. Extremely professional, extremely prompt, and extremely great work. Pricing was very reasonable, as well. 5 stars.
Cheryl McKay
Sam was pleasant and knowledgeable about my boiler furnace that works with 2 thermostats for both radiator and baseboard heating. He respectively answered all of my questions empowering me to better understand my furnace/heating system. He asked good clarifying questions as well. He is well-deserving of 5 stars!
Alan Riggs
Turns out the problem was my own doing. Tony explained very clearly the problem and how to avoid it in the future. He noted that to get rid of the problem such that it could not re-occur, they would have to fix an installation defect in our waste pipe connections which would be very expensive. Since I now know how to avoid the problem, I decided to let it be. Really appreciated Tony taking the time to help me understand.
Daniel Froman
Tony ran into some unforeseen issues while clearing my bathroom sink drain. He kept at it and solved the problem. Very professional and thorough. Cleaned up the site. Cost was reasonable.
Wendy Levin
Yearly plumbing inspection. Easy to schedule, timely response, free to contract clients, professional service provider, and useful information for maintaining our systems for another year. Very pleased with service.
John
Jerry came out the same day that I called after his workday because I had been without my sewer draining for 6 days because of another company, even though I live 30 miles from Evanston. He is the consummate licensed plumbing engineer and customer service representative. Jerry was able to diagnose and plan for what the problem was and what had to be done. Eventually the estimate came in $5,000. less than a previous estimate and was completed by Spencer and Tyler were professional, efficient, and effective with the complete job, even the repair of the damage, done in half a day. I was impressed so that I will subscribe to the service plan to have the peace of mind of having this company help me keep my home safe, comfortable, and growing in value.
Arianna Grego
We contacted American Vintage Homes after experiencing years of SpacePac issues. Brian professionally and quickly evaluated our unit and came up with a plan that Mike perfectly executed. All of our issues resolved and our system is better than ever. Mike was timely, professional, and personable. Mike was able to solve any problem he encountered, including having to work through a morning long power outage. We have been enjoying reliable air conditioning for the first time since purchasing our home five years ago and are very satisfied with the service provided.
Elliot Bennett
Dominick and his teammate came out and were first class in working on our home HVAC.
Steve Takushi
American Vintage Home again proved why they are who we call when we need help. Their technician Idir arrived ahead of schedule on the day we called, was professional, answered all my questions, and got our problem solved quickly. Thanks AVH!
Madelyn Thompson
Curtis came out today to inspect my boiler for the season. Sadly the news was not good. However, he was professional; provided reasons for his evaluation; told me what the industry standards were; and followed up with his company by sending out an engineer for further evaluation. I really liked him - and for futures, would want him as a technician for heating issues. He came with Sam who is learning the ropes. They both were nice and I felt comfortable having them in my home.
Susan Suria
Texted photo and name of technician ahead of time;. Called within the window I was given and gave me a heads up about an hour before his arrival, polite, respectful, friendly, efficient, answered questions, helpful.
Robyn Besana
It was discovered through our winter inspection with American Vintage that our water heater needed to be replaced immediately for our safety. Chris Cordingley came to our house within a couple of days to give us our options, and order our equipment and services. Rafal was in charge of the removal of our old heater and boiler, and the installation of our new equipment. We are very satisfied with the timeliness, cleanliness, and the quality of their work and communication.
June M
Tom was experienced and did a great job. Very professional, nice and courteous!
Terry Miller
Curtis was ver informative and knowledgeable. Gave great recommendations to improve my system.
Sean Kelley
Worked with Walter this time around and another great experience. He is an amazing technician and quickly installed a piece of equipment for my furnace. He explained everything clearly and had my best interest in mind the entire time. Also working with Eddy from the front office was appreciated as well. Prompt service and very considerate. Also appreciated the follow up call. I highly recommend this company!
Alex is one of the reasons
I use this company. SERVICE! He had me stay and watch his assessment. He asked me questions and answered all of mine. Terrific customer service from beginning to end! Thanks, Alex!
Oliver Popadich
Dom was able to come within 48 hours of scheduling. Very personable and professional. He explained everything that he saw, how he would approach it, and then gave up front pricing. He also gave us an outlook on our equipment and some general tips. I was very impressed. I decided sign up for the American Vintage Home Service Plan as I plan to have them service all our mechanical equipment.
Dennis Hong
Sam was great
Clean, efficient, conscientious
Replace head valve on hydronic system
Clean up plumbing to and from furnace
Andrew assess problems and came up with a great plan. Jarek performed the repairs and was great. Both very knowledgeable. Replaced boiler water pump quickly. Installed new Spacepak unit and Bosch air conditioner. Fixed duct and electrical. Updated thermostat. Installed the most up to date equipment. On time. Clean. No mess. No problems. Performed all repairs.
Stephen Goranson
Walter did a great job today. He provided excellent oral and written feedback on the status of the system in the first visit and thoroughly explained what he did in repairing the system. He did remarkable work! I would like him to be my regular maintenance expert.
Thanks for your honest work, Walter!
Jimmy R
Idir did an excellent job! He was friendly and polite and he explained what he had done and what my options were. I highly recommend him!
Mitchell Dudek
Service technician was very pleasant and very knowledgeable. Explained what he did in simple language. Was very professional in appearance.
goldcoast.inc .co
Their managers, installers were the best I have ever worked with, very responsible people and there work was done on time.
Heather Parker
Nick was on time, explained what he would be doing, cleaned as he worked, and did a great job replacing the sink and toilet in our bathroom! I’m very happy with his work and his friendly professionalism!
Four Two Crow
Curtis was very knowledgeable and helpful. Would recommend him on future jobs
Brandon Perry
Gus came in and explained the seriouness of our issues and came up with multiple solutuions for me and my family.
Marvin Levee
Matt did an excellent job of servicing our furnace, and he and Eddie are checking availability of the parts needed to bring it back to 100% efficiency. Matt also replaced our humidifier pad and made sure the unit was operating properly.
Geri Kirkpatrick
Walter was friendly, timely and fixed the problem that unfortunately his colleague had messed up the prior day.
linda allen
Wanted an estimate. Will definitely use the service. 2nd visit price too high for a leak detection and repair not included
Marianela Schanz
American Vintage Home is always professional, they are on time (if not early) and don’t try to sell me unnecessary parts/services. We will continue to use them for both our heating and cooling needs.
Teagan Walsh-Davis
I’m enrolled in AVH’s home service program, and it’s been such a great value - for every project they’ve worked on in my weird old home, they’ve been helpful, transparent, and professional. Just today, Mark installed my new toilet and was quick, thorough, and generally delightful. It’s a big relief knowing that whatever comes up in the house, I can count on AVH to send someone great to help.
Luanne Meinke
He listened to our concerns. Was professional did a thorough job flushing the air out of our radiant heating system. Everything is heating much more evenly. Didn’t make excuses like the company we used before or try to sell us something didn’t need. Definitely earned my respect. Would definitely recommend this company to other people
T C
Ninos is professional and experienced. Finally a great hvac company. Well worth it.
Fran Cristoforo
Amazing job! Nick was so friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Would absolutely recommend to anyone that owns a home, especially an older home, I learned things about my own house that I would have never assumed. Thanks again!!
Dustin Sammarco
I had a gas leak at my old boiler and pipes. A 24/7 hvac guy couldn’t handle this work and recommended American vintage. American vintage gave me costs for a repair vs replacement of the boiler. They sent a technician out ASAP and did the work quickly. Highly recommended! I’ve signed up for their annual home service plan
Erin Valentour
Anton and Dan came on time every day. Their work was detailed and thorough and beautifully done. We had four estimates and they were by far the most knowledgeable, best priced, and had the best product. Anton and Dan were trustworthy, honest, and hard working. They worked extremely hard to finish the job on our deadline. The entire team from Chris, Demitri, Dan, and Anton were extremely professional. I would recommend this company without reservation.
Paul Baumeister
I highly recommend American Vintage Home, specifically my technician John, who provided stellar service today. John walked me through what was wrong with my heating unit and provided clear guidance on what services were performed and future considerations for upgrades. I am super grateful for his professional work, he made this HVAC visit a pleasure!
Joel Lerner
Curtis was very professional and also friendly. He came for a seasonal servicing and walked my through what parts needed to be replaced today and what issues needed watching, but could wait. I decided to replace the humidifier after we talked it through that it was more cost efficient to do that then replace the valves and parts that were the problem, because replacing those parts could uncover other issues that would almost bring the cost to the cost of a new humidifier, plus warranty.
Jane Rees
Mike K and crew were very professional and did an excellent job installing my spacepak and Bosch IDS. He was experienced and even pointed out a leak I had in my roof. I would recommend this company and Mike K.
So Ho
We have used American Vintage Homes for since purchasing our 100+ home. While all the servicemen (why there are no women plumbers, electricians, etc that I know of that work for AVH is another discussion for another day) have been very professional, timely and responsive- Mark was extremely communicative, honest, professional and personable. He worked tirelessly and didn't quit until the job was done.
I hope AvH realize what a gem they have in Mark.
Camille Yale
Everything went very smoothly. Got an appointment quickly, had clear and detailed quotes on services. The service person was knowledgable and talked through all my questions. As a woman, this was very important to me--many service people give you the "when will your husband be home?" treatment. Would definitely use them again.
Henk Kamphuis
I would describe all my interactions with AVH as courteous, professional, and satisfying. They are real people giving real advice. Today Curtis serviced our heating systems. He was thorough and service oriented. He did a nice job. Thank you Curtis.
Melody Drake
Gregory from American Vintage Home was friendly and professional. I thought I needed my condensing unit replaced but he diagnosed a faulty thermostat. He replaced it on the spot and everything works perfectly. I’m very appreciative that he explained what was wrong in a way that I understood. I will absolutely call him again in the future.
Rhona Taylor
My tech was Luis. He is thoughtful and professional. Add him to your survey
Kelda Harris-Harty
Every employee that I have dealt with has been professional, courteous, thoughtful, understanding and respectful of my needs, requests and questions. I have never had an issue with their service whether if it was a repair, installation or maintenance. I would for sure recommend them.
Beth Witherspoon
Drains were really plugged up -- Tony took care of it quickly and professionally. Thumbs up!
Michelle Lilly
We’ve been using American Vintage Home for the past three years, ever since we bought our house built in 1910, and we’ve been really happy with them. Our furnaces are pretty old and AVH has kept them running reliably. They are consistently professional, friendly, and competent. They’re also good at communication, sending reminders about appointments and giving accurate service windows on the day. Their home service plan is great too, especially during the polar vortex 2 years ago when one of our furnaces went out. They were slammed but they got a technician out to us late that night to solve the problem. Couldn’t recommend this company more.
Mary McCall
We were experiencing issues with our heat in a new home during a cold stretch of Chicago weather. American Vintage sent someone out same day, which was much appreciated. Matt was able to quickly fix our Nest thermostat, which had been wired incorrectly. He also performed a maintenance check on our furnace and humidifier, and went above and beyond in helping me to get our gas fireplace started. Prompt and very thorough service—I highly recommend this company and will rely on them for biannual maintenance going forward.
John Dienner
Tom was very nice, on time (early) and got us running again. We were very happy with him and the service.
Michael Chen
I was experiencing some issues with my home’s water heating system. Appointment setup was quick and easy. Remon was my service technician/expert and he exceeded all expectations!! He is extremely knowledgeable in his craft, and was able to solve my problems. But he didn’t just look at the issues I raised, he made sure to cover all his bases. In fact, identified some other areas that were impacting the overall efficiency of my system. He took his time to make sure job is done right. Thanks!!
Martin Brandt
Curtis did a nice job inspecting my furnace. He arrived on time, was courteous, and solved an issue on the spot - a fouled flame sensor.
Gary Weisserman
We have used American Vintage Home multiple times. They were always on time and did a great job. They also gave us a heads up a few years before any replacement of our old HVAC unit would need to be done due to freon no longer being produced. I would strongly them!
Charles Ryan
Tony from American Home is knowledgeable, courteous and honest. Couldn’t ask for a better plumber.
Mike Hotz
I’m very pleased with our furnace/AC replacement. Jessica was very thorough and professional during the bid process. She measured our space and discovered that we would need a unit smaller than the original install to suit our needs. Other bids just matched our old equipment specs using only photos. Mario, the installer, is also top notch. He kept us informed every step of the way. He kept the worksite clean and was very respectful of our work from.home situation. A quality install all around. Do recommend.
Marcy Lichterman
Tony was excellent! Prompt, kind and very informative
Sona Rejebian
This was my annual plumbing inspection. Gus did a thorough job checking the bathrooms and other service/basement pipes. He identified issues that have been raised before which would improve our plumbing. He was courteous and diligent.
Ann Marie Klacko
We had to call a plumber at 6:15 pm on a Friday night. Most places weren’t answering or not getting back to us. American Vintage seems to have a better system than most of directing calls and making sure communication is smooth. Even though it was a holiday and after hours Brian came pretty quickly and replaced a pipe that was leaking in our kitchen. The service was professional and friendly. He knew exactly how to remedy our issue. I’d recommend for sure.
Erica Smith
Nick was very professional and helpful in diagnosing my plumbing issues.
Donald Madill
Knowledgeable and courteous service Very helpful in listening to other concerns about the system and making recommendations for future service.
Daniel MacKenzie
The technicians sent to the house over the last year were all kind and efficient in their work. Some of the work done to our house was done prior to us moving, and we've had some issues with some of the items they installed. The staff at the company can be slow to respond. In the end, they are priced about 10-15% higher than competition with equally positive reputation.
J T-C
Cesar and Mike were absolutely fabulous in the AC installation. Detail oriented, neat, timely, and were great at walking me through the new system. The entire team at American Vintage has been responsive and professional!
Philip Barras
Walter and the office team did a terrific job. We have been using American Vintage Home for many years and they are ALWAYS professional. Our service technician today (Walter) was extremely friendly and did a great job! He is a great representative for American Vintage. I absolutely recommend them!!
Tom Juozaitis
Roberto and team were great! Roberto kept me informed of how the project was progressing throughout. At the end of each day explained what had been done and what would happen the next day. After finishing the work, he made sure to walk me through how my new system works and answered any questions I had.
Heather Wolfe
AVH was very responsive when we had a valve leak emergency. Gus was very informative and professional. We also use them for our HVAC services and have been very pleased!
jan skilbeck
I have been impressed with response times and the quality of the services I’ve used. They have always taken the time to explain the issues and the solutions. Highly recommend
Troy Caldwell
Great service, and Nick solved the issues we'd been dealing with. He did the work, but also verified that the plan to correct it was the right solution. While I trusted his judgement, he went the extra step to get a second opinion on the plan. That stood out to me as a positive. He also gave some good advice that's helpful for a future project. I'll be more than happy to work with them in the future.
Janice Gaffin
The technician, Alex, arrived within the expected time and went through the thorough inspection of my furnace. He cleaned tubes and took them out to make sure there was no sediment or cracks anywhere. He was very helpful and When I asked what he was doing, he explained everything as he went along. It was very informative and professionally done.
12/23/20 Today was another service call. Our furnace needed 2 items replaced, one being the included motor, and to remove the blower wheel and clean them both out, thoroughly!
Job well done. Furnace turned on immediately and warmed the house back up in 5 minutes!
1/13/21 I asked that Alex return to check the noise of my furnace when it starts up, because I thought it was different from what I was used to hearing. He found nothing wrong, and checked everything. He was helpful and informative!
Dave Whitney
Greg and his partner were great, very professional, very focused, worked to complete in a short time. Friendly, communicative, outstanding experience. Highly recommend.
William Seyle
Easy to communicate with, skilled and personable people, customer oriented, in it for the long haul, community-based.
Chris Ware
John and his assistant Tyler repaired a decades-old cast iron stack drain in a 120-year old home with care, intelligence, speed and good humor. John was reluctant and conservative in his exploratory drilling, even managing to avoid harming wallpaper inches from the leak itself, finally cutting a hole that so neatly matched the length and width of damaged pipe itself it looked as if it’d been done by a brain surgeon.
Most importantly, John’s knowledge and respect for antique plumbing and antique fixtures marks him as a rare gem among servicemen, who are generally more apt to saw and hammer their troubles into submission. I can promise you that there really are homeowners out there keen to maintain their vintage fixtures and valves (and wallpaper) where possible, and John’s smarts and patience suit such work perfectly. He is a thoughtful and good natured fellow with valuable skills which are rapidly disappearing in today’s HomeDepot-ed world.
Finally, I should add that everyone who came out here in the pursuit of this repair goal was careful and respectful. I’ve been dealing with American Vintage Home for over 15 years (two HVAC and two boiler installs) and am never disappointed. Thank you!
Ann Johnson
The job was done efficiently, professionally, and in less time than quoted. Our technician Tom was on time, friendly, professional, and he offered good advice about maintaining the life of the furnace. Thanks, American Vintage Home!
Kelly Hoogenakker
We had a SpacePak system installed and cast iron baseboard radiators replaced on our 95 year old home. Our sales person, Brian, was responsive to our questions and patient as we explored different options to meet our needs; even provided separate estimates to help us decide. Once the installation team arrived, we were impressed by the time they took to evaluate our plan and recommend changes that would be more efficient and save us time and money on the install. Our primary installer was Greg, who went above and beyond on so many occasions, taking time to teach us how to use our new system, giving us valuable advice and always with a smile! Office staff was also very helpful and stayed in communication as needed. Highly recommend them.
Anthony Adler
Quick, efficient, knowledgeable, pleasant to deal with, and resourceful when unexpected complications arose. Didn't try to renegotiate the price because of those complications, either, so I should add "honorable", too. Tyler the tech was as effective as he was unassuming; Jerry the rep was there when problems needed to be solved.
jane Howard
The technician who came was very knowledgeable and hardworking. He explained everything he was doing. He left no mess. Dominick has a winning personality, friendly yet professional. The company did not get back to me on the week-end, might have had a lot of other callers. That was the only negative. Satisfied customer.
Nancy Burke
The two people who installed our new furnace were really amazing! Prompt, considerate, professional, hard-working, knowledgeable, and also personable. We highly recommend this service!
Stephen Gaies
Excellent service! Answered all my questions, was professional and friendly. Best service call I’ve had from this business. (I think the technician’s name is Julian—that’s the name on the service summary—and , but I want him to get credit for doing a highly satisfactory maintenance call.
elizabeth newenhuyse
I thought I had a radiator leak so I called American Vintage Home. I often see their trucks around, which to me is good advertising. The office staff was so responsive and helpful, and the technician, Idir, was too. I would strongly recommend.
Alice Sun
Pete's team is wonderful!
They had to come out twice because of the issue and when I called for them to return since we are able to replicate the issue, they sent the same tech out and was able to quickly diagnosis the problems for us.
Would recommend this company to our friends and family
Michael Clark
Have a lot of trust on this company. Came out quickly when we called regarding lack of hot water. Assessed and presented us with several options - informative but no pressure. When we decided to go with them, they were able to install within a couple of days. They were efficient, kept us apprised of arrival time and how long job would take, and it was very pleasant to work with Tim.
Bill Quinlan
Nick did a great job for us. He was friendly and very helpful. Answered our questions in simple terms. Highly recommend him!
Matthew Mccallum
Ninos was courteous, thorough and professional. He explained all the details to me and helped me figure out how to move forward with next steps. Thanks Ninos! AVH is good with the communication and follow up on Day of Service.
Edward J. Eberwine III
Great job!... as always. With an old house, there are always issues and its always a struggle to make the proper repairs and upgrades while being cost effective. We don't always find the answer immediately, but AVH has stuck with me and we always do find an answer. Their work is as professional as you will find. Ill keep coming back...
Collin Koetz
I own a vintage 1927 condo with all original plumbing hardware in the bathrooms. Basically, everything had slight leaks and needed valve replacements. Chris was able to give me a thorough estimate for the work at well as a full repair for all the stem valves. He was very knowledgeable, especially about antique fixtures, as well as communicating his process in making the repairs, which is something I appreciate. I will definitely be using American Vintage Home for any future work I'll need help with.
Jennifer Tonge
Our first experience was for getting our old school radiators checked and flushed (out house is 102 yers old). The customer scheduling team was great and even texting me a photo of who to expect to arrive during our scheduled time. I had not seen this level of communication before and loved it, mostly for the safety of knowing who to expect at my door, not just some random person. Walter was assigned to our service call and his personality and presence was very friendly and knowledgable. He also confirmed he was fully vaxed (without me having to ask), wore his face mask and also wore protective foot booties to not scuff up our floors.
He came on time and was super friendly and knowledgeable. We are planning to use them again for future "old home" projects and will be joining their membership plan for maintenance, repairs or upgrades.
Steve Horvat
Dominick was our technician/installler. Very professional, courteous and friendly. Explained everything clearly. The install job was beautiful and everything was cleaned up afterwards. I turned to American Vintage for my home water heater replacement after I used the company to install a large boiler unit a year ago in my commercial property. The company and the guys working for them are great!!
Marianne Kaiser
Brian was phenomenal! He knew what he was doing, got right down to work, and gave me tips on what I could do easily and inexpensively to improve my plumbing. He also guided me to a coupon on their website that cut my bill in half.
He was very personable, as was the woman who answered the office phone when I initially called. She was very courteous and friendly, thoroughly communicated their procedures and costs, and also guided me to coupons on their website.
Jared Cohler
Dom was great. Positive attitude and I felt like he was giving me honest advice. I’m asking for him every time my HVAC unit needs servicing or a check up. Scheduling the appointment was as easy as can be. Thanks Dom and American Vintage Home!
Nevin Zimmermann
So I would start off by saying they certainly could be a 4 or 5. However, no where close to what we experienced. We did an entire upstairs mini split. To start. The sales person is either non responsive or non existent. Great in taking an order and showing up. However pre installation, never returned a phone call email or cell phone message. Very frustrating since he was the only contact we had. Finally a call from the installation person a day before we got started. Installation crew is a 5 plus. Professional, careful, spotless and all done on time.
Post installation, A noise fan or motor in the bedroom unit. Totally understand that. Call and service person comes out, says its a motor, they would replace it. Great, that works for us. He says it will be ordered the following week. Next week goes by nothing. I call 3 times they say will check the warehouse and get back. No response. Finally get someone who tells me part never ordered, they don’t agree with the guy who showed up. Wonderful, but no one ever told me the customer. Next day guy shows up says it’s fan not motor. My only request “please keep me informed” even it takes a few weeks.
Well going on week two and Nothing, not call. I will follow up on Monday “again” My point, they are quick to take money, not so quick to communicate after. Will lower the rating again, if I don’t hear anything next week.
MY POINT. ALL I NEED IS COMMUNICATION, YOU CAN MAKE MISTAKES AND PROBLEMS CAN HAPPEN, JUST TELL THE PEOPLE WHO PAY YOU WHAT IS GOING ON
Update: If you have an issue, Damitri is your guy to fix it. He was out here 4-5 times. Never gave up or tried to explain away the problem. Working with Rich (service manager, I believe) also incredibly professional. Honestly I was worried, but they stood by their word and stayed with us "upgrading review" to five stars.
Marianne Rubin
Matt was the best technician I have had so far with this company.
Karen Courtright
Tim did a great job on our plumbing inspection and solved a small problem we had on the spot. Instructive, helpful and courteous. Can't ask for more. This is consistent with every technician from American Vintage that has visited our home. Highly recommend.
Kristen Hemingway
Dominick has been with American Vintage Home for 9 years and truly knows his systems (Spacepak included). He was knowledgeable and explained recommendations clearly.
Nancy Ramos
It was a hassle to find a company who can complete task of moving old radiator pipe to align against wall before install of new radiator. Until I came across American Vintage company, they provided their recommendations and understood my request. I do recommend improvement needed on communication with sales, office and customer. Maybe more staff is needed. The Installer team Ceser and his partner were professional, ontime, friendly, VERY knowledgable and determined to complete job.
Karl
Without a doubt, the most professional, thorough check of our SpacePak A/C system. John F. was super-friendly and happy to explain how our system worked and what we needed to do to keep it running at its best.
I would highly recommend American Vintage Home and John F.
Doug Ausenbaugh
Dominick came out on time, was completely knowledgeable and just an all around good dude. We have been having trouble with our forced air for a while and he was able to fix it easily, quickly, and expertly. 10/10, will be using American Vintage Home for ALL heating, cooling, and plumbing from here on out!
Rusty Pittman
American Vintage Home replaced a boiler yesterday for my 2 flat. They did an impeccable job from start to finish. Andrew, the sales manager, walked me through all the options and was able to schedule my install the next day. My old boiler had died so I needed to get it replaced ASAP. Rafal, the installation lead, showed up on time. He was very professional and really did a high quality job and he took care of several things that he could have easily skipped. For instance the old gas line wasn’t the proper size and he replaced it with a higher capacity one. I guarantee you other companies would have taken the easy route and left the old one in place. I will definitely use American Vintage in the future. Really happy to have found them.
John Leo
I got a number of quotes and American vintage was the most competitive. They showed up when scheduled and were efficient. They cleaned up everything and I was working like new in under two hours. John knew his stuff and was easy to work with.
Robert Donath
My experience with American Vintage was excellent. The entire project, from the initial contact to the final post installation inspection, was extremely professional and timely. The quality of the work is excellent. The entire team is thorough and thoughtful in their approach. I quoted several vendors for my project and chose American Vintage based on their competitive pricing and comprehensive service. I will use American Vintage again and would recommend them to my friends and neighbors.
Yosef Camhi
Business was easy to get a hold of and schedule for service. Dominick was very helpful and courteous, while at the same time sharing his knowledge in a manner that was understandable. Would highly recommend American Vintage Home based on this visit and will look to use them again in the future!
Robert Krause
AVH did a wonderful job replacing our furnace. Professional, respectful, efficient. All the things you want in these kinds of services...
Judith Godfrey
Chris at American Vintage Home is an experienced professional plumber. He planned these three separate operations At my house with meticulous care. Each operation went smoothly and without mistakes. He took out part of a plasterboard wall with great care to spread no dust. He has a very pleasant personality and takes pride in pleasing customers. I will ask for Chris next time I need a plumber. Also, the company is run well, very customer oriented, sends a photo and background of the professional they send you.
Noel Hughes
Tim came to try and find the source of the water dripping into my downstairs neighbours bathroom. He thoroughly inspected my bathrooms. We went to introduce ourselves to my neighbour who had to have her ceiling cut open to look for the leak. Tim did a great job of assuring her that it would be done with a minimum of disruption. He succeeded! I have had a positive experience with the company, booking the appointment was very well handled and Tim was very professional and a very pleasant individual. My only negative was the big time window. However I do understand that these things are very difficult to be precise about. I will happily call them back for any future Plumbing needs.
Ann Hubbard
Dominick did maintenance on our heating and air conditioning systems. We were impressed with his professionalism and patience explaining everything to us. He answered all our questions and put us on a good track for taking care of some heating issues we’re experiencing. We are also pleased with the company, American Home Vintage’s commitment to their employees and continuous training.
Christine Cugino
I was told I’d get a call at 7am to let me know when to expect a tech and promptly at 7am my phone rang. David showed up on time and kept me informed about what was wrong with my boiler and what he could to to fix it and didn’t start anything before the cost was approved. I’m really impressed with how quickly someone got back to me when I first called, especially considering it is the holiday season. Thank you David and everyone at American Vintage Home for making my house comfortable again!
Aaron Glover
American Vintage not only got someone out same day, but within just over 2 hours of me first contacting them.
Our plumber, Brian, was quick, efficient, and friendly. He offered all relevant solutions (which would ultimately involve replacement of old fixtures and drain pipes) as well as ways to work with the fixtures and plumbing that we currently have in place. All of this was done within 20 minutes, and he was gone before he was even projected to arrive!
Ellen Criz
We have worked with American Vintage Home for a number of years through a number of houses. Their office staff is helpful, their crews come at the promised time (or call to say why), and they are very professional. We've never had any problems with their work. The most recent job was to replace one of our two old air conditioning systems (they replaced the other one last year, but this one was checked and was fine at the time). We even got an e-mail with a picture of the person who was coming to do the work! Then they came out a week or so after the installation to make sure all was working perfectly. They were great.
David Hillsamer
Our furnace wouldn’t turn on and American Vintage came out immediately late on a Friday afternoon and made the necessary repairs. The service technician Dominick was extremely professional and tracked down the necessary part quickly. Thank you again for your great service!
Melissa Humble-Sage
I’ve had techs come out twice to deal with a radiator issue. Both times the techs were on time, efficient, communicative, and professional. I definitely recommend American Vintage.
Kathryn E. Shiverts
We have used American Vintage Homes for many years And are very pleased with their service. They have always done excellent job with all of our plumbing and boiler related needs. We have always lived in homes that were built in the mid-1920s and it’s not always easy to fix what goes wrong in these older homes. I always recommend American Vintage Homes to all my friends and neighbors.
Gary Kaufman
My service tech Nick was fantastic- he’s highly recommended!
Christopher Lenard
Vincent was superb. Honest and hard working guy. Fixed my A/C issue in couple minutes on the hottest day of the hottest day of the year. I’ll be calling American Vintage Home first next time I have an HVAC issue. Thank you!
Just had Eric stop by to fix our AC with a coolant recharge. It was fast and worked. Another pleasant experience.
Kate Wise
I have never been disappointed with American vintage home. They always go above and beyond. In particular, they seem very knowledgeable about all the problems I have had as well as clearly explaining everything, answering all questions and offering usually more than one solution. Chris was exactly that. Excellent. Obviously not fun to spend the money but I always feel secure that the job is done right.
Jackson Wilson
Mario and his team were excellent! Responsible, communicative, totally competent. They did a complete furnace/AC replacement and everything looks great and works great. I am very satisfied with their work.
Wilfred Ortiz
Contacted American Vintage Home, Inc. to have a chimney liner installed after doing some research on why we were getting water leaks from the bottom of our chimney. They contacted me the next day and Adam came out to give us an estimate. Explained everything to us and did not try to sell us anything that we did not need. We felt the estimate was fair and then they scheduled a time to do the installation. Mike came to our home as scheduled, was very courteous and respectful of our basement. He was happy to explain everything he did and answer any questions we had. The work area was spotless after he finished. After a few days, we checked for any water leaks and there was none. So glad we solved that problem. They also came back the next week to do a follow-up on the work and answer any questions that we had. Will definitely call American Vintage Home, Inc. for any future work that we may have done. Great customer service.
Jeanie Cole
Mike was clearly knowledgeable about installing HVAC systems and proactively walked me through each step of the process. He checked in before making any big decisions and was always pleasant. He kept me informed of the timeline, was always on time and cleaned up after the job. I wish more professionals had his work ethic, demeanor and customer service.
Joy Harrison
American Home Vintage was fast, professional, and easy to communicate with. Our technician Ninos was prompt, wore a mask and shoe protectors, and best of all explained everything he was doing and what he found. He was helpful when asking questions and made the process easy.
Luke Baker
Had a huge plumbing disaster that came through dining room ceiling. These guys came quick, did a great and fast job and cleaned everything up. They are great and very reasonable. They also serviced my furnace and bled all the radiators last fall and did a great job there as well. Highly recommend for old home maintenance.
alan weninger
Alex was very professional. He was on time and courteous. He checked and serviced our boiler and water heater and explained what he did. Hope to see him next year.
Charles Pratt
Walter was very thorough and patient with my heating problem. He took the time needed to check and double check adjustments that were needed. Best of all, he quite clearly explained every step he was taking. At the end of the service call I felt confident that I knew both the problems (mostly solved) with my radiators and with possible improvements to my heating system. I am quite satisfied with Walter’s professionalism and his concern for my particular problem with my boiler and heating system.
Joan Le
American Vintage Home is pretty awesome. I’ve had lots of work done and feel very confident in their skills—so hard to find a company like this! All the folks I’ve worked with so far have just been fantastic. Brian and his partner helped me with a thorough plumbing inspection today.
Marcia Larmee
We were very pleased with all of our interactions with American Vintage Home! From our first contact with, Shay, scheduling an appointment, where she explained the consultation and repairs process and costs, to the communication and updates on arrival time expectations, to the technician, Ninos. A very professional group through and through. Would highly recommend!

great people who know what they’re doing and do it well…highly recommended!
Michael Wagner
Remon came on site one day to inspect my broken Unico AC system. Shortly thereafter I was contacted by someone at the office to schedule a repair. The system was 10+ years old and had a unrepairable leak in the condenser coil. This part of the system needed replaced. Remon returned and spent many hours replacing the part. It was a complicated replacement in a confined, awkward space so it took several hours. Following the parts replacement, Remon tested, filled, tuned, and monitored the system to ensure it was working properly. On both the initial diagnosis and the repair visit Remon was friendly, professional, competent, and willing to answer all my questions.

Walter was extremely thorough and an excellent communicator. He walked me through what he was doing for the repairs as well as recommended future services to look out for. He was quick with his work and we are back to having heat!
Eduardo La Ruffa
Alexis was súper profesional. He took the time to go over every single detail with us as we needed some advice about our radiators. He had the answers and the knowledge to repair them and make some excellent suggestions. Extremely happy with his service and the price.
Eva S.
American Vintage is very professional, friendly, thorough, detail oriented and knowledgeable. We had a complex piping issue years ago in our older home (est. 1876) and they came out 5 or 6 times, at no charge, until they were able to figure out what was going on. It was this level of customer service that has caused us to stay with them despite their higher than average prices. We especially enjoy working with Walter. He is very patient and informative. He does not mind taking the time to explain anything and everything. I would highly recommend these guys!
richard larson
Gus and Tony did an excellent job clearing a clogged vent. They kept me informed throughout the job. They cleaned up the affected areas prior to leaving.
I will definitely use Vintage American Home again because of Gus and Tony.
Harry Dietz
Idir is very knowledgeable and conscientious. He was on time and very professional.
Maria Heleine
Ninos was very professional and did a great job explaining next steps.
Ross Sadler
Kris always made sure that I was aware of the stages of work happening for the installation of my combi-boiler. At no point did I worry that something was going to be poorly done. Kris is an exceptional HVAC guy. American Vintage Home is my to-go for heating and cooling.
Deb Berggren
Nick was very thorough. Work was done professionally. I trust his skills and knowledge and experience that the job was done right. I will ask for his help the next time we need plumbing work in our 113 year old building.
Julieann Dorenzo
I have a leak in my bathroom but am unsure of the Irgun. Drew confirmed there is a leak and narrowed down some possibilities. Great work and very satisfied with the service.
George Patay
My air conditioner was serviced. They called to let me know early in the day as to the range when the tech was to arrive. Got a text before he arrived to let me know when he was coming. Tech arrived when he said he would. Had his mask on, professionally attired. Checked the air conditioning unit out and then came back and reported on everything. All was fine. Very pleased with the service.
Danny Ortegon
American Vintage has provided a major upgrade to High efficiency boiler (Triangle Tube), corrected several plumbing issues, and provided follow up services. Each time they have been prompt, provided excellent service and always worked to ensure my ultimate satisfaction. Note: I switched from a few long time providers here on the Northshore to American Vintage and have been very happy with my decision.
If you want direct, honest services and products that delivered from a local business that cares about you, then American Vintage is the way to go!
As always, American Vintage Home did a great serving my boiler system!
John Sutton
Francisco was great! He explained what the problem was and the fees involved. Also advised us of their monthly service plans they offer, which we took advantage of. He covered his shoes upon entering the house and cleaned everything up when he finished. The entire experience was excellent, starting with the phone call for service and follow up with Sam at the office.
Laura Miller
Had a great experience with Walter from American Vintage Home. Our boiler system was leaking and he quickly identified and clearly explained the issue, as well as the most effective way to remedy the problem. He completed the project quickly and was extremely friendly to work with. I will be requesting Walter again in the future.
Brad Pierce
We had a wonderful experience with Craig on the American Vintage Home team. He was terrific. Informative, helpful and great communicating our options and solutions.
Ron
I had another company out to my house 3 times. The third visit I was told I needed $2,000 in work.got a bad vibe so I called these guys for a second opinion. Walter got it done for a couple hundred dollars. I was about to get ripped off.
Nancy Toberman
Thank you to Mario and American Vintage Home for doing an excellent job air conditioning my 65 year old house! They always arrived on time and kept me informed throughout the job. Both Mario and his partner were knowledgeable and courteous. I am very pleased with the result. Thank you again!
Rachael Chisholm
Mike and Angel did a wonderful job with our Space-Pak install. They were very kind, careful, tidy, and able to roll with the vintage home surprises. Our 1923 bungalow is now cool and comfy, despite the 95 degree day. Even though the install took six days, it was never awkward or unmanageable. I absolutely recommend American Vintage Home.
MJ C
Brian was on time, he was very professional and super friendly answering my laundry list of questions as he completed rodding the main sewer of my 100 year old building in the Chicago. Making the appointment via their chat was easy. They give you the time window then call the day of and confirm. I also got a text with the name and pic which was nice as a female client so I knew who to expect. I was texted when they were 30min out. I found a coupon so it was $198. Highly recommend American Vintage Home after this experience
Ellen Hummel
American Vintage Home replaced our 20+ year old SpacePak units, and the process from consultation to installation was impressive, professional and quick. The quotes were detailed and the owner took care to answer all our questions. Dimitri headed up the installation team, and the two installers were prompt, polite and knowledgeable. They explained how the new system worked and showed us exactly what to do and when in order to maintain it.
We also use them for regular inspection and maintenance of our heating system.
We have done two major renovations, and our experience with American Vintage Home rates at the top of trades companies we've worked with. We would highly recommend the company.
Cheryl Kasner
We were very happy with Walter. He was experienced, professional and gave us good advice. We also appreciate AVH promptness in getting a technician to our house very quickly to address our repair needs.
Allison Maguire
I've been using American Vintage home for both my heating/cooling and plumbing in my 2 unit property for 5 years. I have the monthly service plan and this has proved to be worthwhile even if I only use it for my annual service. But I have also used the service plan discounts on emergency call-outs, as our furnace systems in both units are rather old. I like that the technicians are honest and don't try to unnecessarily upsell you. Their technicians and engineers for heating plumbing and cooling are very knowledgeable and experienced.
Ivan Canay
We had SpacePak installed in our house and I was a bit nervous about the problems we could find along the way. We had Mike as our installer and we were very VERY happy with him and the quality of the work he did. He was very clear communicating everything he was doing during the day. He explained the problems he found clearly but, more importantly, we were impressed with how well he got around the several issues we run into. We would definitely recommend AVH to install SpacePak and, in particular, Mike as the person in charge of doing the work.
AP Avant
Walter did a great job in finding the problem with our air conditioner and repaired the unit. He's very knowledgeable and explained the problem in layman's terms. I highly recommend Walter and the whole experience of American Vintage Homes. Keep up the the good work!
Joel Melnick
Walter patiently and completely investigated a complicated problem with our boiler. He investigated the issue and consulted with others, including the boiler manufacturer, to identify a potential solution. Further, he explained the situation and the solution so that we could follow the resolution and provide feedback. He also explained potential contingencies if the solution did not resolve our problem.
Steve Markwell
Showed up promptly. Did an evaluation, laid out my options and handled my issue efficiently.
Dennis Sherman
We are very happy with American Vintage Home. We first had them in to deal with hot water heat pipes installed by another company that had frozen and burst. They repaired that installation quickly and professionally, and the difference in quality between their work and what the other guys had left behind was immediately obvious. We wished we had found them first. They later repaired the AC SpacePak install (done by the same bad company), replaced our boiler and hot water heater with a modern unit, and most recently replaced the now 12 year old AC with a newer, quieter, and more energy efficient version. They have consistently been on time, professional, friendly, and efficient in their work. On the rare occasion that an appointment needs to change, they are very good about being proactive and calling to make new arrangements ahead of time. I wish all building trades professionals were as good as these guys. Highly recommended.
Patricia Carroll
Replaced our water heater and did a basement repipe. Techs were on time, professional, and gave good advice on improving placement of faucets and streamlining layout - wound up with added headroom, always a plus! Quirks always seem to come up when working with an older home, and AVH is able to navigate well and get the job done.
Carla Benigni
The American Vintage Home team was great to work with from the sales call through the installation and follow-up. Their expertise and knowledge was extremely helpful with figuring out what we needed and how to best optimize our HVAC system. We've been very happy with the results.
Eric Zarcone
Mike our technician did an amazing job installing our SpacePak. He was extremely informative each day of the installation, was exceptionally clean and everything worked great! Would highly recommend this company if you have an older home.
Neil Teubel
American Vintage did a great job with our heating and A/C. We have a 100 year old house that they installed A/C in for the first time. We received several quotes but American Vintage was the only one to sit down and walk through the process and our options in detail. Installing the high velocity system (SpacePak, etc..) is unique and the education was extremely helpful as we made our decision.
After deciding to move forward they walked through the installation process again and we approved where every duct would go so there were no surprises and the ascetics of our home were kept in tact. Mike and his crew did a great job - they were friendly, trustworthy, and again very knowledgeable. The install went seamlessly and the system works great.
My only critique would be we had a few issues with stains on our carpet which to their credit they owned up to and we worked out a solution that allowed us to get the carpets cleaned at no cost.
We love our new A/C. The install was not cheap which makes hiring a company as knowledgeable and professional as American Vintage that much more important.
We had them do work on our boiler and install additional heating in our home with radiators as well- I would echo everything above - great work and would highly recommend!
John Herzig
Always have great service and experience with American Vintage Home. Today was no different. Scheduling was easy. Customer service followed up promptly to let me know the exact window. And the service tech was on time, efficient and super nice. They always take good care of me!
W AR
I have a 85 year old home in Park Ridge that we decided to install a SpacePak in as apart of a kitchen renovation. Mike spent about a week onsite doing the installation. I thank him for his attention to detail and his focus on our satisfaction as the customer. American Vintage Home has a great staff and they will be our primary vendor for all related heating and cooling needs.
D Drake
Very thorough work done on a whole heating system replacement. They kept me updated during the process and were highly professional.
Also had them clear clogged sewer drains with their plumbing division and had a good experience there
Daniel Anderegg
Service technician Walter was great. A nice, down-to-earth, and professional man who enjoys his craft. Walter completed the service inspection of our SpacePak unit and provided additional technical details about the perfunctory aspects of our system, which was appreciated. Walter is our guy! AVH should give Walter a salary increase!
Emanuel Hurwitz
As always, David did an excellent job on our annual A/C maintenance. He is the best! --always very thorough and professional. Not only is he knowledgeable, but he takes the time to answer questions and explain why he is making various adjustments as he works.
David has been working in my home for several years. I have complete confidence in him. In fact, he is the only American Vintage Home technician whom I will allow to work on my equipment.
It is very evident that David enjoys his work. He keeps up with the latest advances in the HVAC industry. I know this first hand because last year he connected hoses to my condensers to check the refrigerant level. Today he used a high-tech procedure, involving his smart phone, to complete this task. He explained that the new procedure ensures that no refrigerant is lost during the check up.
Let me tell you why David impressed me as soon as I met him. He was sent by AVH to trouble shoot a problem that I was having with our zoned heating system. One zone did not work. AVH initially sent out a technician who spent over an hour trying to fix the problem, to no avail. He simply could not figure out what was wrong as he logged time running up my bill. Finally, I asked that man to leave. David came the next day. It took him less that five minutes to diagnosis and fix the problem. This example attests to David's knowledge and diagnostic skills.
Finally, I want to say that David is a real gentleman and a pleasure to have in my home.
Bradley Wynn
Service was performed as outlined.
Told me how to check to see where a noise was coming from.
Diane Miller
I’ve used American Vintage for 6+ years.. best quality work, value and people for your money and home comfort! They installed a new boiler and water heater yesterday; and, I wish I would have taken “before and after” pictures.. impeccable pipe craftsmanship and overall work!!
Charles Pratt
Walter L. arrived several minutes early for the winter inspection of my boiler and humidifier. He was pleasant and efficient and got right to work. When he needed to replace a filter, he informed me right away, and when all the work was done, he gave me a thorough oral report of what he had done. Once the inspection and cleaning was completed, he answered several of my questions related to other heating issues. One of those involved a lack of heat in an upstairs room. He volunteered to take a look at it, but suggested it was probably just a matter of the radiator needing to be bled. To that end, he gave me a sturdy tool for that purpose. I used the bleeder key the next day, and it worked. The pipe was full of air which needed to be released. In short order, the radiator started working again and the room is now warm.
In my many years as an American Vintage Home customer, I have rarely been disappointed with its service.
Meg Fensholt
Kevin did a super job quickly identifying the problem in our A/C and had everything in his truck to fix it. He was professional and easy-going and even put up with my neurotic dog who kept barking at him. I signed up for their service plan because I was impressed with not only Kevin, but everyone I spoke with from the main office, to the dispatcher. Would recommend highly.
Jude Rodriguez
The office apprised me several times regarding arrival time. Brian was spot on at 3pm. Having worked with office building maintenance for 13 years, I know professionalism. I cannot think of one time hearing a technician whistling while he worked and frankly, Brian put a smile on our face. Hopefully, American Vintage knows what a terrific, positive attitude technician they have in Brian. We plan to schedule him again in 2 years for sewer rodding and any other future plumbing needs. Thank you, Brian!
Ryan Eggert
Nick was great! Super kind and helpful.
Noreen Sugrue
Excellent company and excellent technician. They are skilled, responsive, and very helpful. Use them. Never had any problems. Nothing but terrific service and helpful knowledgeable personnel.
Stephanie Dufford
Eric was very knowledgeable. We signed up for a membership with American Vintage Home because of the confidence we felt in him. We are excited to have their team get our AC and heating in good working order.
Annette Devitt
Matt was amazing!! I called this company as a second opinion for a client who didn't believe the first company. Matt came in, checked out the system, explained it in easy terms and all is well!! Great job! Will call on them again.
First Congregational Church of Evanston
I am a bit torn. What I like about American Vintage is some of their staff, such as Jessica and Walter. They have both been very up front, friendly, and straight shooter. The company is responsive and punctual which I also like. My only caveat is the price. While they do not charge per hour, there is a service fee, plus a diagnostics fee, plus the actual job. They are more on the expensive side of things, but they guarantee their work (make sure to have this written in their work orders before you sign off on it!). I really do wish they weren't as pricey as they are. If they weren't, they'd have all of our business. And for a 150 yr old building, that's a lot!
R Wenz
Friendly, clean, thorough. Van remembered me from a previous visit, making his gracious hello all the more genuine. The work he did was mostly preventive in this annual inspection visit, but he explained clearly why I needed a new ignitor for the furnace, which was an added cost. He walked me through estimates of possible work to consider in the future, along with explanation of how to minimize cost and maximize effectiveness of his recommended upgrades. I have used this company for many years and trust their integrity and precision. All the technicians are careful to don and doff shoe covers with each trip to the truck, and all are unfailingly considerate and polite.
Mary Eisen
Our heat went out on Christmas Day. American Vintage Home not only answered the phone when I called, but returned my call immediately with a technician who did everything he could to help us over the phone. It turned out he needed to make a service call and he was there within the hour. He was calm, competent, and professional, and solved the problem. We have used American Vintage Home for heating, cooling, and plumbing for years, and they are consistently competent, trustworthy, and fairly priced- even on a holiday!
Peter Kaye
American Vintage replaced our old water pipes, faucets, and outside spigots. The plumber, Nick, was friendly and thorough; he explained everything in detail.
Erek Bilka
American Vintage Homes was a fantastic company to work with. We had air conditioning installed and couldn't be happier with the whole experience. The salesman who initially gave us the quote was very thorough and explained everything in an easily accessible manner. The technicians who installed the system were timely, quiet, conscientious and above all clean. When they left our house each day they did a fantastic job leaving the place looking like no one had even been there. I can't recommend them highly enough!
Frank
Lester not only fixed a plumbing problem we were aware of, he also identified two other similar potential problems - and fixed them too. His attentiveness is typical of the American Vintage Home technicians and office staff. My spouse and I have been satisfied customers for heating, cooling and plumbing services since 1997.
Russ Needham
I recently had a Unico system installed in my vintage bungalow. Everything went as scheduled, and the system works great. I appreciate the professionalism of the staff at every stage of the job, from estimate to installation, to post-inspection. The team cleaned up every day and carefully moved furnishings as needed to get the job done. So happy to have a cool home now. Great work!
Barbara Steptoe
I had not done business with American Vintage before. Chris B. Is the best of the best, and saved us a heap of money by fixing our jammed up disposal instead of replacing it. We have a lot of work yet to be done, so will be calling AVH again. Great timely response, as well!
M A Wexler
Tony did the annual service on my a/c last spring, and earlier this week he did the annual service on my boiler and humidifier. He is exactly the person I want to conduct these inspections...he is thorough, efficient, considerate, and very professional! American Vintage Home has been my go to plumbing/heating service for many years because the people they send to my house are always five star professionals. I recommend them to my family and friends without reservation.
Joel Friedman
They relined my old clay sewer with a new no-digging system. Spencer was professional and good at explaining the steps, and the final result - which showed me via a camera in the line - was excellent. My only issues were some communication hiccups with the office.
Christopher Sargent
I've had great success with this company, both for personal radiator repair and for our building's boiler maintenance. Kevin was polite, funny, and most importantly was great at explaining what needed to be done. The price was fair for the work (in my limited, non-professional understanding of what these repairs can and have cost in the past). I won't hesitate to call them again!
Lynn Kahla
Always professional service with technicians that are experts in their field. We use them for both plumbing and HVAC. We needed our hot water heater replaced, and Brian was able to get it done the day after the initial visit. So pleased!
Raul Ruiz
Bob was extremely friendly, courteous, and very efficient. He was able to identify the issue on our HVAC system (which is a little old), solve the problem, and ensure that we would be set up to have the cooling system we deserve. He also put everything back in order and left our home spotless. He definitely deserves to be recognized for his excellent service and customer service dedication. Thank you!
Mitch Jones
We wanted a hydronic heating system for our 1950s home built on a slab foundation. After getting bids from 6 different contractors, American Vintage Home emerged as the clear favorited. They did a careful job of assessing our home and then coming in with a competitive bid. I was impressed with their experience with and knowledge of the system. Their installers were very professional and did the work with care and precision. I am very pleased we chose them to do our work. We are now enjoying the new system and have no regrets.
Charles Brauner
American Vintage Home were terrific. They installed a whole-house air-conditioning system (SpacePak). The installers were efficient and friendly. We especially appreciated their thorough cleanup every day. Everything was explained clearly. After a week, an inspector came back to verify that the system was working properly, to go over the details of the system, and to answer any questions. The whole experience was as painless as possible, and the system has worked perfectly through our current heat wave.
Shawn Decker
Very careful and thourough installation of a spacepac system in our 1889 house. installed system works very well. Not cheap, but worth the money. Very good , courtous, and technically competent installers. My only complaint is that I did not understand that I would be responsible for covering up some exposed tubing (with soffits) and that holes into crawlspaces would be covered with plywood panels rather than re-drywalled. The fact that I still feel it was a very good job and value attests to how good the HVAC work was.
service call with Matt today was super good. really love the professional approach to everything, as well as the transparancy of billong etc. also, very good covid protection and sensitivity. 5 stars on this service call!
Kathleen T-S
Spencer was excellent! He was prompt, thorough, clear in his explanations, and a very knowledgeable plumbing professional. I plan to continue to use American Vintage Home.
Came back the next day, was early (!) and finished the job beautifully. Thank you!
Heidi Kitrosser
We had our heater break down in the midst of the Covid pandemic and were nervous about having someone in to fix it. Dominick could not have been better. Everything was as sanitary and contact-free as possible, and he did the job very quickly and well. He was also extremely nice. Great job.
Winifred Brown
They sent 3 different people to check out 3 different jobs in my 120 plus yr old house. On time, answered all my questions with patience.!
The estimates were reasonable and in the high middle range of my others. But they were specific about contingencies. Lester ended up
Constructing a reasonable solution to an odd and possibly very costly issue, and saved me some money. Clean up was perfect.
They are my new plumbers for this old house.
Karen Tullai
Walter L. from American Vintage Home arrived promptly, was very knowledgeable, and repaired our air conditioning perfectly! He diagnosed our problem on a Friday night and returned on a Saturday (had to wait for condenser to thaw) for no extra cost -- unheard of-- top notch treatment. He was polite and efficient. Reasonable repair cost-I would highly recommend American Vintage Home and Walter L. in particular!
Rosie Drucker
American Vintage Home has been servicing our heating and cooling for years and we have always been pleased. When it was time to update our heating system we relied on their advice and they followed through very efficiently. Their employees are well-trained and thorough. We are extremely pleased with the outcome of our installation of two Space-Pak Units and one forced air Heating/AC unit.
Drew M
I had my AC installed in March and I waited for most of the summer prior to my review. Well, it's nothing short of amazing! Our home was built in the early 1950's and had baseboard boiler heat with no ducting. They managed to run ALL of the hi velocity ducting within walls and floors with absolutely nothing running in a closet. We had two different crews work on our home (the lead on the first crew had a family emergency) and both were outstanding. They cleaned up every day and were very courteous. As far as the AC goes, my rooms are definitely within the +/-2* as promised. The calculations made to determine the number of outlets in each room was spot on. I am beyond impressed everything this company did to make our home as pleasant in the summer as it is in the winter. I would HIGHLY recommend them for installing AC in your Vintage Home.
Christopher Rutledge
Tim was onsite to hook up a few faucets after we had our countertops replaced. He did a great job and was extremely courteous and communicative. We use American Vintage Hole for all our plumbing and HVAC needs.
Michaela D’Arrigo
Mario installed a new furnace and air conditioner. He was very punctual, knowledgeable and went beyond noticing an existing problem and addressed it. He did an execellent job! I would recommend American Vintage as they are the most thorough HVAC company I have worked with.
Matt Kepes
AVH and Specifically Dominick have been wonderful. We have needed their services twice since we began renting a property they maintain. And each time they have been quick, accommodating and professional with us. Dom answers all questions we have and quickly gets us back on track. Would recommend this company to everyone I know.
Erik Von Rueden
I have been a customer of American Vintage home for 5 years. Their service is excellent. They maintain our heating, air-conditioning system, hot water heating system and all plumbing in our 90 year old building. We spend very little on major problems, because our systems are maintained so well. All the technicians are very knowledgeable, courteous and professional. ! Bob just helped us today and was excellent. I highly recommend AVH!
Dena Al-Khatib
American Vintage Home replaced the centeal AC system in our 1928 bungalow. We also have a plumbing account with them that has been a lifesaver. We've been very happy with both services, and will continue to use them in the future.
Gordon White
Andrew not only did a superb job but he made certain I understood all of the options I had when he had to continue the service. I would be pleased if Andrew was always sent to address the service maintenance and concerns that develop as it relates to my furnace and air conditioner. Gordon White
Dan Kapnick
Tim was professional, knowledgeable and punctual. We called Monday morning with a leaking water heater - Tim was on site the same day to diagnose and he installed our replacement heater the next day. Walked me through the situation and answered all my questions.
Donna Fulks
Matthew was very thorough and really went above and beyond for us. Another company had been servicing our furnace for years, and did not notice a leak that was causing a problem. He also found mold in the humidifier that other technicians must have overlooked. He was also very polite and professional (as all their employees have been). I would give AVH 5 stars, if the prices weren't quite so high; but, I feel like their expertise is worth the money.
Steve Blanchard
Idir was very professional and effectively communicated the problem and provided the recommended solutions.
Aziz Aadam
I contacted several companies regarding replacing my 40+ year old hot water boiler system. The engineer from American Vintage Mark came out to my house and carefully measured out the dimensions of all the rooms, locations of doors, and windows in order to calculate the most efficient new system for my house. I chose American Vintage because they seemed to put the most thought into what my needs were. We discussed future expansion plans and chose a boiler that could easily accomodate future expansion. Once the install started everything moved pretty fast. Everything took about 4 days. The technicians were very polite and happy to answer all my questions. The new system works incredibly well and everything went as planned. It was a big investment but well worth it. I don't think anyone can beat the expertise of American Vintage when it comes to older homes.
Jacqueline Lee
American Vintage Home has done an excellent job keeping the boiler, furnace, and water heater working properly in my old house for the past 13 years. I was especially appreciative when they came quickly one Thanksgiving when the boiler went out and I was hosting the family dinner! The service men are careful, courteous, and communicative. I highly recommend them.
Mazen Momani
VERY professional from start to finish. We had an old home without AC. Their engineers figured out the right plan for our house and budget. They give you pricing upfront and don't pressure you into any unnecessary upgrades. They finished ahead of schedule and we are thrilled with our new unit. Highly recommended.
Mario Gooch
Nick, ( repairman) was very professional, informative, and all around pleasant to be around.
Repairman Nick return to finish some work and the experience was quick, clean, and pro, also very pleasant to speak with. No complaints at all.
Ryan Paulsen
As always, AVH was there when we needed them and was able to fix the problem quickly! Several times they have been able to fix the unit without having to replace, saving us a lot of money and hassle. I appreciate their honesty and quality of service.
Jetta Boschen
Wow I am still speechless over the BEST plumbing service I have ever experienced . The entire team was A+**. My emergency happened late at night. Those answering the phones were stellar then kept checking back with me to make sure I was ok and insuring I got serviced correctly. They never once nickel and dimed me and looked at ways to save me dollars. The plumber they sent over was FANTASTIC . The customer service, service call and follow through exceptional.
Coley Gallagher
We've used American Vintage Home for heating and cooling and maintenance for years. I look forward to when our technician Andrew's visits each spring and fall. He is pleasant and knowledgable knows our house and our equiptment. They always recommend improvements, but are honest about what is truly necessary. We highly recommend AVH.
lisa reichert
Updated: We have had boiler and A/C systems installed. We observed that Jarek is a fantastic engineer and technician. We know we are in good hands.
—————
Matt went above and beyond my concerns inspecting our heating system. Looking forward to continued service.
Amy Hawker
Amazing experience! AVH came promptly and Walter, my technician, was thorough, kind, and explained all the issues to me. Pricing was very fair and the issue was resolved quickly. Would highly recommend!
David Macey
Very pleased thus far with our experience with American Vintage Home. We got three or four quotes for a new boiler from various companies. AVH's off-season price tied for best for a mid-efficiency boiler, and it was also the most thorough quote estimate we received (most detailed write-up and inspection of our current set-up). Their high-efficiency boiler quote was also excellent, and that's what we ended up going with--and it was nice that they deducted the utility rebate from the total price upfront.
Installation was very professional, and I liked that there was a follow-up inspection and fine-tuning/diagnostic check by the installer's superior as well.
Megan Davidson
Overall a wonderful experience. I called and got same-day service and the technician, Tim, who came out was quick and professional. Will definitely be calling again if I have any plumbing needs in the future.
Christopher J Rutt
Jarek and assistant Khang were punctual, professional, and thorough. They took time explaining the system and patiently fielded questions. Pride is evident in the work they do. Highly recommended
Leah Marsaglia
Nick was great. He quickly assessed the situation and got right to work. Nick was Efficient but still took the time to explain his thoughts, plan of action and results. Absolutely recommend AHV and Nick!
Alexandra Patterson
Our heat wasn’t working and I had an infant and toddler in our very cold house. I called and Technicians arrived within 2 hrs. I was very impressed because I was ready to abandon ship to get my kids warm. Very glad I called them. David and David were our techs and they did a great job!
Emmett McCarthy
Eric was on-time, friendly, quick and did a great job. We’ve been using AVH for years with multiple older homes and have always been satisfied, even when they had to get the work done on an emergency basis.
Dave Olkowski
Have used American Vintage Home twice now. Once to have a high efficiency boiler installed last year. And now to have a new SpacePak air conditioning system installed. With both installs, American Vintage Home has done nothing but impress me. Everyone I dealt with from the company was extremely knowledgeable and courteous. I lucked out to have the same installer for both jobs and Mike was top notch. While I'm glad I won't have any more big ticket items for heating and cooling in my house any time soon. I will be the first to recommend the company if you want a job done right by the right people

Anthony P. was our technician. He was close to on time, considerate of our home and
straight-forward in his analysis. He offered alternatives to fix our ailing air conditioner and also told us which option he thought was best.
He also fixed our hot water heater. It was good to have someone with more than one skill set.
We have used American Vintage before and they are the BEST with older homes. They are always careful and they really understand Space Pac.

Brian and Jeffrey were super professional and very informative. I called for the preventative rodding service and these guys were great. Brian went the extra mile and re-rodded the sewage pipes multiple times to ensure that any blockages were removed.
Jeffrey was also very detailed in showing me the video breakdown of what we are seeing in the pipes and giving advice.
Will be using your services again as well as considering yearly service contract to be covered on cooling heating and sewage!
James Differding
Mike was great to work with. The work was done on schedule. Mike and Ivan were professional and on time.

American Vintage Home installed space pak in my 1905 vintage home last week.
My experience from beginning to end was nothing but amazing. They figured it out, installed exceptional equipment, and did an exemplary job. My install crew were competent, skilled, neat,respectful, and complete gentleman. All of my interactions with American vintage home throughout this process were handled with care and integrity and knowledge. I will use American Vintage Home for all of my future air conditioning, heating, and plumbing needs.
Pia Thompson
Andrew B is an outstanding technician. The service was very timely and professional. He explained everything very well and is prepared to answer any question. American Vintage Home installed my SpacePac over eight years ago and I have never had any problem. With the level of maintenance provided by Andrew B I don't have to worry about it.
LJA A
Chris was great. Found problem right away. He did the repair and answered all of my questions and concerns.Very pleased with his service as well as American Vintage Home.
Wendell Thomas
Van V came to my home, did the work efficiently, made suggestions about shrubbery surrounding my compressor unit, adjusted the fan blade on the new unit and cleaned up whatever was his. American Vintage Home responded quickly to my call for help and Van was excellent with his work. I'd recommend both the technician and the company.
David Manning
American Vintage Home is tremendous and saved my bacon. I invested in an expensive new hydronic heating system several years ago. It never worked right and was not producing enough heat to handle the extreme cold weather. The original installer claimed that everything was fine and would not support their install or trouble-shoot the system. For years we labored through the winter without adequate heat. Several large heating companies inspected the boiler and said it was fine and I just needed larger radiators, which I installed, but clearly it wasn't fine. American Vintage Home inspected the boiler system and identified the problem very quickly. Yep, turns out that the original installer did not pipe it in correctly. Now its working great! American Vintage Home did a great job because they took the time -- unlike the other contractors -- to actually trace and study the piping and valve systems, do the necessary heating calculations, measure the temperature of the radiators, etc. . Kudos to Adam and Dmitri! If you aren't getting answers on your heating problems, call them right away.
Karen Anderson
Bob is our new best friend! He saved us about $7,000 - the cost of a new boiler. Another company couldn't solve our problem and said our only option is to replace the boiler. We contacted American Vintage Home, Inc, for a quote for a boiler replacement. The owner said he would like to see if one of his technicians could solve our problem without having to replace the boiler. Bob did just that. He was knowledgeable, efficient and friendly. He made the necessary adjustments to keep our current boiler running safely and efficiently. We will definitely turn to American Vintage Home, Inc. for future needs.
ann gold
we had 2 previous companies come out and were not able to figure out the problem for our roof top furnace and we spent money with no resolution to our problem. We were referred to American Vintage Home and Andrew came out and did a complete inspection and gave us several options. We were very happy with the professionalism and highly recommend.
John Kackley
We've used American Vintage Home since we moved into our house 5 years ago and had them install SpacePak air conditioning. We've also had them do plumbing and heating maintenance. Most recently they resolved a mystery problem with our boiler. Robert L. did an excellent job of diagnosing a problem that no one else could solve, explaining the situation and the options to us, and completing the work. Everything was done very professionally.
We are very pleased to continue using American Vintage Home.
Ann Treadwell
Jeff came to do my furnace check and did an amazing job! He was kind, quick and quiet! My only qualm was not knowing the appointment window until the day of. A whole day is a long time to commit to a furnace check-up.
Robert Friesen
We have used AVH for two boilers and annual maintenance. In this case, they replaced our boiler after the previous one had a long and useful life. AVH gave us a great price on a new, high-efficiency unit. I have a fair amount of mechanical background so, with that qualification, the installation and follow-up technician visits were well-done. Installation and follow-up personnel were friendly. Everyone knew what they were doing and addressed my questions on the process and mechanics of the new boiler. The technician who did the follow-up visit was very thorough and stayed as long as we wanted to run through variations in heating effectiveness from room to room. AVH's annual home service contract costs the same as an annual check-up so it's worth the price, esp. for the couple of times when we've needed them because of a rare boiler issue and they ave showed up promptly, even after hours.
Kenny Smith
They did a great job. The estimator was knowledgable and took the time to understand our specific needs. The installer was proffessional, friendly and did an excellent job.
Andy Winston
We had an emergency furnace replacement this January AVH was very responsive and offered use a range of options. The install was somewhat complex in our older home, but the engineer found elegant dilutions for the intake and exhaust. Highly recommend AVH.
E Chaudruc
American Vintage Home is the best! I had an issue with our Space Pak unit and they sent someone out the same day. Pawel was the technician and did a great job identifying the problem and repairing it within 15 minutes. (He had worked at our house previously resolving a heating problem that no other company could). Always call them first for great work, great service and prompt technicians...always professional, courteous and willing to educate the consumer. Have only had great experiences with this company for any heating, plumbing or AC issues. Love them!
Mark VonSeipler
There was a construction mishap that accidental cut the Boiler system piping. Remon was the specialist that came out to repair and he did an awesome job. He has a unique ability to explain things in understandable terms. The jobs was done professionally and efficiently. I would highly recommend Remon for any job. Additionally, the temperature was in the 20's and the house was getting cold fast and American Vintage was able to dispatch Remon within 5 hours of reporting the problem.
Laura Raftery
Dominick was helpful and thorough. I was impressed with his knowledge and suggestions about what to do to keep our old boiler in good working repair. It was late Friday afternoon into evening by the time he completed the boiler maintenance and did not seem hurried at all.
Stefanie Platt
Raymond was the technician that came over to our house! He was so friendly and walked us through everything he was doing. He arrived in the window of time that they told us, had his mask on and work booties around the house. We will continue to ask for him when we get our yearly maintenance!
Judy Lalley
Our furnace was not working late evening. Kevin L. arrived first thing in the morning, found a relay was not working, and repaired it so we could have heat. He noticed we also had a faulty gas valve which he ordered for us, and we requested a new thermostat to replace our over 16 year old one when He came back out. He was professional, knowledgable, pleasant, and explained things clearly. Perhaps best, he noticed a problem with our hot water heater next to the furnace and recommended we contact a chimney guy asap, and we were able to get one out in under 2 hours who was able to make some necessary safety corrections.
Bernie Masaniai
Remon did an amazing job working on my furnace! He guided me through everything he was doing while being very informative and explaining the importance of maintenance to my furnace. He is very nice, hard working, and knowledge about his craft! I most absolutely will recommend Remon to anyone needing professional help with their furnace anytime!
LMC
We have been using American Vintage Home for the last 20 years. Over the years, they have installed Space Pac, furnaces and boilers in a couple of our 1920's era homes. They have also done some of the plumbing work in the homes, and we have used them for all maintenance and the occasional repair. They are a great company and I have been happy to use them for all work. This fall, we needed to replace a furnace and AC unit. Because of the cost, I decided to get another quote. I researched another reputable vendor in the area and had them quote the EXACT same furnace and AC units for the job. There was only a 3% difference in price - which is nothing on a huge job. So not only have we had great service from them over they years, their prices are competitive with other reputable companies in the area.
Patty Delony
All my dealings with American Vintage Home have been outstanding. They show up on time, every time, and accomplish the work quickly and courteously. Bob, who has been to my house many times, even knows how to reassemble the stuff in my closet after taking it out to service the A/C unit. He also explains very clearly what he has done and any follow-up steps.
Daniel Schimmel
Matt from American Vintage was on time, pleasant, informative and helped us understand the cause of our heating issue. He helped us develop a plan and was able to teach us the basics about our system. While we hope not to have to use them often, we know we have a great place to go if issues arise.
Eric Anderson
Dom is the best! Very knowledgeable and explains the job he is doing and why it’s important. Great dude!
Tina Dann-Fenwick
Andrew is always thorough and polite. He understands all the systems in our large house and has been our technician for many years. It is great to have the same great experienced technician come every time to do our service.
Benjamin Schmitt
Ramon at American Vintage did an excellent job servicing my Carrier Infinity system (which requires specialized training). Nice guy, candid discussion and most importantly fixed my A/C when it was hot out.
Ben
Paul Reineck
American Vintage installed a Space Pack system in our 1890s house. I couldn't be more pleased with their level of expertise, friendly service, and workmanship. Our house proved to be a complex installation, as it took took two days longer than expected, but they didn't rush to complete the job. Throughout the installation, the technicians provided me feedback and updates. They also cleaned up at the end of each day. They wrapped up the installation with a complete walk-though of the equipment.
I would highly recommend American Vintage for your Space Pak installation. I am going to have them start servicing our other home mechanicals.
Roxann Stoutner
I am a fan of American Vintage Home. Simply stated: they know what they're doing, pay attention to the details and display all the traits you associate with a top notch, skillfully managed company. They've done work in my home several times, most recently, installing SpacePak . A very positive experience and, EVERY person I have dealt with has been not only professional, but just plain nice. It's very reassuring to know that companies as fine as this one still exist.
Kristen Pratt
I have a historic Chicago bungalow and have done a LOT of work on my house and I have to say that American Vintage Home has the most professional and pleasant staff of any contractors that I've worked with. I am very happy with the SpacePak AC system they installed last month. It is also worth noting that I asked two other companies for quotes and they told me that my home was not a candidate for central air - they didn't even give me a quote! I'm really impressed with this company and will be giving them my business again in the future.
Hugh Muller
Srdgan and his crew at American Vintage Home are a pleasure to work with. They are punctual, courteous, and knowledgable. They installed a natural gas garage heater that required running a gas line from the basement and electrical from a nearby junction box. Srdgan, as team lead, was collaborative and informative as the work progressed on this almost-one-day-job. I admire his expertise and would welcome him back for my next HVAC project.
Donald Choy
Tech arrived in timely manner. Very easy to talk with. Luckily the replacement part was not extremely expensive. Was in/out within an hour.
Hopefully the replacement part will ensure winter heating unit will run without any issues.
Erin Weisberg
Overall wonderful experience. 2 issues: 1) tried to call to pay the balance on my bill and the message said they were at a meeting. 2) Our furnace was under warranty but they made us pay for the part and then they said they would reimburse us. I wish we didn't have to pay up front.
Suzanne Ehrenberg
We recently hired American Vintage Home to install a new furnace. Because our existing furnace was not functioning (and it was starting to get cold outside), time was of the essence. AVH produced a detailed proposal with several different price options several hours after coming to the house for the estimate. Their price was competitive and they were able to install the furnace within two days. The installation went smoothly and the furnace is working well. They've been very attentive in following up to see if we are experiencing any problems.
They also repaired our Spacepak air conditioning system over the summer and saved us the cost of installing a whole new system.
John Ewing
We have been using window AC units in our home for many years. After losing some old shade trees I decided that installing larger window units would add too much noise for comfortable sleeping at night. I contacted American Vintage Home for quotation and can only say that my experience with them from beginning to end has left me more than impressed. They epitomize what a good company should be all about. Scott, our salesman was very thorough and took care to listen to what I had in mind. He did an excellent job of gathering the details and in reacting to my various questions. More importantly he accurately communicated our needs to management. I was pleasantly surprised to receive a personal phone call from this company's owner following Scott's visit to further discuss the various options and considerations. He is truly dedicated to giving his customer the best choices and it was quite satisfying to deal with someone who is truly passionate about his work. When undertaking a large expense such as ours--i.e. installing a complete upstairs cooling system where none existed I feel that it is extremely important to take the time up front to consider all of the options and costs. American Vintage ended up supplying four choices at various price points. No other competitive quote was as thorough. Some were less than a page! Prices are very fair for what they do. Not the highest, not the lowest.
I chose a split ducked ductless system from Mistubishi. Although a bit more expensive than other choices it is very efficient and when installed properly, almost completely silent. I am amazed that when you put this system in auto cooling mode you barley know its running. A major part of this result was American Vintage Home's careful design and installation of the system, especially the ductwork. I have heard other systems in friends homes that were relatively noisy and some even whistled. Not good for sleeping at night. They reacted to this perfectly for us with their installation plan.
Greg Rozowicz, Dispatcher, did a good good job scheduling the installation around an upcoming business trip to Europe. Dimitri, their Installation Manager and Roberto arrived on time and after review together for the choices for locating the air registers, condenser, line set, etc.and other details he left and Roberto took over.
All I can say about Roberto and crew is that he is one of the best. Always on time, courteous, and highly skilled. His installation was literally white glove. Very careful to protect our possessions and excellent worksmanship. He is a very hard worker yet still manages to take time as opportunity allows to chat. You feel quite at home with him. He and his crew worked very hard for four days and finished the installation on time as promised. I was quite relived since I had to leave for Europe only 18 hours later.
Upon my return I had some questions for the wireless thermostat which Greg conveyed to Dimitri who then sent detailed instructions immediately for resolving my questions. About three weeks after the installation was complete Dimitri made a dedicated visit to personally inspect the installation, make some final adjustments which I desired and made a point to learn if I had any other questions or concerns. The system has run perfectly ever since.
The weather is now turning quite warm and humid and I am smiling at the great choice I made to choose Americian Vintage Home for this work. You really couldn't make a better choice in my opinion.
Kevin Donovan
Remon did a phenomenal job repairing a 100+ year old leaking radiator valve as well as some additional boiler and radiator fixes. He was extremely pleasant to work with and is an absolute perfectionist.
Traci Laughlin
Luis was very knowledgeable and helpful with our vintage home heating system.
Gail
American Vinatege we appreciate you!! Andrew Smith, the Lead HVAC Greg and his guys are very professional, knowledgeable and super considerate of my home and 7 month old baby! I had a budget to work with and they were the only ones who were accomodating to my needs and finances. These guys are honest! The other 4 big wigs of HVAC didnt compare to American Vintage impectable service. American Vintage you have my business for all my heating, cooling and plumbing needs! You guys are great! Give these guys a try! ITS WORTH IT!!!
Douglas Halverson
American Vintage accommodated my request for a quick inspection of my heating system - they scheduled service the same day I called. Service Technician, named Van, came promptly and was very efficient in troubleshooting the issue with our system. He also was very helpful, patient and thorough when I asked him a number of questions about my entire heating system. Van gave me many pointers on maintaining and troubleshooting my system in the future. Thanks Van!
Amy Kress Taylor
Matt was great. Very thorough. Took apart and cleaned many pieces of our furnace and boiler. Very detailed in his summary of things we may need to repair/replace in the future.
David Kline
Walter came to fix our A/C unit and he was able to quickly figure out which component was likely at fault. Then he went up on the building roof to fix the component even though it was raining fairly hard. Once he fixed it, he came back down to confirm the unit was now cooling. Very professional and went above and beyond to get the problem quickly fixed
Virginia Connelly
We have been living in our 1921 bungalow for 25 years without air conditioning. Tired of lifting a bulky room air conditioner in every summer and then taking it out and storing it in the winter, we decided to take the plunge and install air conditioning. After talking to several other companies, we decided to go with American Vintage Home. The experience was so great, we are sorry we didn't do it sooner. They were very professional and extremely skilled. We barely noticed they were here and they left right on time after thoroughly explaining how to use the system. We now have a comfortable "modern" home, with the beautiful old woodwork intact! I would not hesitate to recommend American Vintage Home, Inc.
Adam Voss
American Vintage Home, Inc. provides great service, timely response, and very experienced technicians to troubleshoot any HVAC issue. Moreover, their rates are reasonable and commensurate with the level of quality they deliver.
These guys are great. I've had them here three times, with phenomenal results each time. I'd also like to give a special shout out to Robert, American Vintage Home's mechanical and technical genius, and all-around great guy. He deserves a heroes welcome when your AC is shot and it's 105 degrees inside your living room.
But don't just take my word for it. Call them and find out yourselfyou won't be disappointed.
Lauree Garvin
Andrew B came to conduct our yearly service of our very old boiler and radiators. He was knowledgeable, efficient, and very helpful in terms of explaining our 58 year old system to me. He provided us good options for service/replacement and he was able to get our kitchen radiator working again - hooray!
Thanks, Andrew for your excellent service and your willingness to answer all my questions.
Joseph W.
I have used this company for both heating system work and plumbing. Recently i was left in the larch when Home Depot refused to install the dishwasher I had ordered from them, owing to a technicality with my plumbing. I was able to schedule a next business day appointment with a plumber from AVH, who arrived on time, fixed the small plumbing issue, and installed the dishwasher. The company is a little pricey(reason for 4 stars), but the quality of the service is worth every penny.
Carolyn McGee
Matt is always so helpful and skillfully works to solve problems.
cbehr911
More great service from AVH. Spoke with Walter before the service call so he was aware of the issue and possible causes. He arrived the next morning as promised and because of our previous conversation he was prepared and quickly diagnosed two potential causes. Walter thoroughly explained our options, including pricing with No high pressure or scare tactics. Highly recommend AVH.
Greg Wagner
Gus did a great job diagnosing and fixing our clogged pipe, and suggesting ways to avoid the problem in the future.
norman linde
Matt had to reschedule appointment and arrived promptly at the new time. He appeared very thorough in his inspection and explained well the need to regularly maintain our boiler. He was very pleasant and business like.
Michelle Green Arnson
We just completed a Unico install in our 102 year-old home with the awesome team of Janosz, Abel, and Dmitri and things could not have gone smoother (for my husband and me, at least- we weren't the ones having to work in the freezing cold attic)! From start to finish, working with American Vintage Home has been a great experience. We got numerous bids for this system and none of the others even came close to American Vintage home, in terms of price and willingness to discuss and explain the options and processes involved. I would recommend them to anyone looking for AC installers who bring skill and efficiency, and who care about the integrity of your home. Thanks, guys!
Shellie Argeanton
Nothing but great things to say about AVH! Courteous, hard working group of people who are very organized and do whatever they can to make the process of renovation easy. It was nice to work with people who understand what they are doing and could easily explain to me without confusion. Appreciate all your hard work and cleanliness! Kudos to Jack, Dmitry and Sylvester for an awesome job on our bathroom plumbing reroute for washer/dryer install.
Updated Dec 2019 to add - thanks to Gerad and Brian for their work on our sewer system this week. Very professional and friendly/polite.
Margaret Mack
The Technician returned within 24 hours to install an air filter which was required.
He maintained a professional demeanor and was in my home less than 30 minutes to complete the last part of my annual maintenance to my furnace.😊
Tanja Chevalier
Very thorough and explained issues well with follow up as required
Harry Pierson
American Vintage recently installed a SpacePak system in my home and I couldn't be happier with them. Since this was a major project, I certainly was initially worried about the install and how it would turn out. The staff at American Vintage assured me everything would be fine and if it wasn't right- they would make it right. My installers (Tony/Javier) provided me with a plan and daily updates throughout the project. They took great care of my home and were very respectful. I am very happy with the end result and I would strongly recommend this company!
Suzan V
The company offered a fixed-price boiler servicing as a temporary special. This was appreciated by both me and the service expert Andrew, who was able to take his time to investigate a minor leak, a wet patch, the condition of the gasket, etc. and to clean out the main parts of the boiler. He was very polite and patiently explained my pricing and urgency options for replacing parts and servicing plans. Somewhat uncharacteristically for companies like this, he didn’t pressure me to sign up for or replace anything. When he arrived I was on an important phone call, so he just started to work on the boiler quietly. He wore socks over his shoes. It was a pleasure working with him.
Nick & Erin Cincotta
We had American Vintage install Space Pac into our 100+ year old home. They did a great job integrating it into the home making the system integrate into the home almost seamlessly. They worked hard to hide the ducting in attic crawl space, and did not just take the easy route which would have required us to soffit out the entire duct system . Overall great quality and easy to work with.
Will Anderson
We love our new SpacePak air conditioner. At first I felt like I was being passed around as the intake person passed me along to the sales engineer who passed me to the installation engineer, but when the installation engineer got there I was immediately put at ease -- he knew what he was doing and knew how to explain it. We are very pleased with the function and appearance of the work. Only downsides: a bit of chipped tile and poorly patched plaster from the installation.
Roger Taylor
We have a high efficiency boiler providing radiant heat and domestic hot water to a portion of our home. This system had not worked properly or consistently since we purchased out home several years ago. Several HVAC contractors provided us with estimates to either repair or replace our system. But it was not until we met J.R. from American Vintage that we felt comfortable that we were being given the best long term solution. J.R. spent many hours designing a replacement system to meet our needs. It was not the lowest cost solution, but it was clearly the simplest and most dependable proposal that we received.
Our new high efficiency boiler was expertly retrofit into our existing radiant system by a genuine perfectionist installer. It took a little over a week to complete the installation - this was not a simple job. We couldn't be happier with the result. If you need a contractor who will take the time to research your HVAC needs, recommend the best solution, and carefully integrate new equipment into your existing system, then a highly recommend J.R. and his team at American Vintage.
Brian Lin
Lester the technician arrived and was able to fix the problem in my garbage disposal in a very short amount of time. The service was excellent and highly recommended. While the service was relatively expensive, it was faster, safer, and still cheaper than replacing the entire unit.
Karen Barrie
Positive! Our annual inspections with our protection plan give peace of mind. Today's plumbing inspection by Chris was thorough, professional, and pointed out improvements we can make. American Vintage Home rocks!
Richard Dreis
I first encountered AVH while researching AC for my home. We met with reps from two companies and then with AVH's rep. After the rep From AVH left, my wife and I looked at each other and said why would anyone not do business with this company after a presentation like the one we just had. The space-pac installation was as advertised and the installers were top of the line and as accommodating and courteous as could be. We immediately started using AVH every year to inspect our boiler and AC and have never been disappointed. We recently needed some plumbing work done and called AVH. Lester was assigned to our job and we couldn't be happier. He was great as was the quality of his work. I recommend AVH to anyone who asks. I have never had better experiences with any company in any endeavor in my life. This is how every company should be run. I'm a customer for life.
mark iserloth
We've used AV for some time for both heating and cooling issues and overall it's been excellent. From quote to service to follow up they walked us through what was going to happen and made sure it did. On the rare occasion there was a follow up, they took care of that as well to make sure we were satisfied.
Hawke Yoon
We just moved into our old historic landmark house in Evanston. American Vintage Home is getting everything up to speed and they have been been simply amazing. They get the job done but are so knowledgeable that I get a thoughtful and respectful mini-lecture every time. Their expertise of old houses combined with new technology is 5 star. They really have been so supportive of us as we settle into our new old Evanston house.
Randy Whitchurch
Always on time, provide timely updates on arrival. Quality work. I trust these guys.
Another good experience today with AVH. I had a problem, called, and a tech was here within two hours. He fixed the problem and was on his way. An altogether seamless and efficient experience.
Danny Noonan
Francisco at American Vintage Home is an old school practioner, who could build the things he fixes from scratch. He will get the job done right. We highly recommend him for work in vintage homes and high quality projects. The world could use more people who pay attention to the details, while being sincere and affable.
Naree T
Very professional. Very patient since my plumbing needed a lot of works.
Nancy Anderson
AVH representative Brian was prompt and professional. He patiently answered all my questions, and provided an estimate for future work to consider. I love the new bathtub faucet and shower head. Thank you!
Christopher Roberson
American Vintage Home is our go-to contractor, and Jeff H. is terrific. He got the job done quickly and efficiently, and is a real professional. Highly recommended.
Lois Colberg
Drew was ontime, patient, capable, explained the options, and then very efficiently did the work. A pleasure to deal with.
Gina Totten
Reliable, super knowledgeable, and so friendly! They installed our SpacePak, which takes a week to complete, and left our house clean every day and worked their lunch schedules around our baby’s nap time!
Ann Vogl
Replaced my semi working furnace, non working humidifier, ancient AC condenser and installed new air purifier. Had to remove my water heater to do so and when re-installed it, removed dirt from screens in all my taps making water pressure much better. And helped me change batteries on 2 smoke alarms. Delightful (And funny) too!
Judith Wilson
Cesar was very professional. He explained in detail the work that was going to be done. When the work was completed, he walked me thru all the components of the new hvac system.
E.B. Pappert
I called American Vintage Home the morning of the third day of 100 degree temperatures because my 20 year old air conditioner was not cooling the house below 83 degrees. I was pleasantly surprised to find that they would be able to provide service that same afternoon, despite the obvious demand for service caused by the excessive heat wave. The technician was at my home on time and was able to get the unit operating properly within a short time and at a very competitive rate. I highly recommend their service. Thank you.
christina calderon
American Vintage made it out to our house on a last minute emergency when our furnace stop working on a very cold Saturday morning. Andrew B diagnosed the problem quickly, gave us a solution to fix it immediately and even identified other components that might be an issue in the future. Furnace was up and running again in less than an hour.
Great service!!
Kathleen Zink
Gus did a great job and was very informative about other questions we had!
joe smith
I have used this company since 1999. They have always been reliable, offered good honest advise about how to fix and improve the mechanical components in my home. Their prices seem fair and a very good value considering that the staff seems more knowledgable than other companies. If anyone is considering a home improvement project, routine maintenance, or replacing a mechanical item, I would recommend asking American Vintage for a estimate and their advice.
Carla D Ciulla
Thank you, Victor, for your expertise, work ethic, and outstanding job installing a SpacePak in my home. You were detailed and knew how to explain everything in layman’s terms. The quality of workmanship exceeded my expectations! Professionalism all the way around with this company.
Cat Hardy
Brian was friendly and professional. He remembered details about his previous visit and put me at ease right away. He and his assistant got the job done in a timely manner and all worked great when finished.
Dan Baer
Working with AVH for our home boiler replacement was a terrific experience from start to finish! After receiving bids from 3 different contractors, I chose AVH not because they were the low bidder (they weren't) but because the time and thought JJ put in to the process left me confident the job would be done right. And, it was. Appointment times were kept, the crews were pleasant, the work completed efficiently and on time with no surprises, the basement was left clean, first class workmanship, and I am delighted with the result. Having Dmitri do a final inspection a couple days after the installation was completed gave us some time to assess the heat distribution to all radiators. He quickly made a minor tweak that perfectly balanced the system and he showed me how easy it was to make additional adjustments myself if that proved necessary in the future but I haven't had to touch a thing.
Joseph Harris
Dominic H. called me to let me know he was coming, he arrived on time, he completed the work within the time allotted, he cleaned up, he explained what he did and how I should operate my new humidifier. He was absolutely professional, pleasant and most important, knew what he was doing. Simply the best!
Ellen Fitzpatrick
American Vintage Home has installed a space pak unit in my condo, which turned out to be manufacturer defective (1.5 years after original install). They did a great job on the original install - painful due to all of the plaster drilling in my condo and creating differs etc.
For the replacement, there was no argument about the cost - they worked directly with Space pak to get a new unit and get their costs covered, so no charge to me. Ishmael and Mike came yesterday and completed the work - an all day job / and I now have a working unit again in time for summer. Ishmael was very polite, professional and worked very hard to get the job completed. Thanks to both of them!
Last step will be to get my hallway ceiling rebuilt with the accesses they need for future service. Hoping American Vintage Home can get that scheduled soon for me!
Highly recommend American Vintage Home for making a bad situation right with minimal discussion.
Susan Beyer
I called American Vintage and they responded so courteously and promptly from the answering service (which directed me to the office). Rosa was patient and present as I described a failed air conditioner on the hottest day of the year. She said a technician would be out and if before expired time no over time charge.
Bob M was friendly and professional. He was available to my experience with my attempts of fixing the lack of cold air. After 20 min he had it up and going...a clogged drain. Going into the attic of a 100 year old house with not much ventilation on a day like to day not so fun!
Thanks Bob and thanks American Vintage Home - the original installers of my still going unit after 20 years (space pack). Thanks!!!

American Vintage Home has been, for more than ten years, my source of help, information, products, and service on heating, cooling, and plumbing needs. When I moved into my home, AVH installed its air-conditioning; several years later, AVH replaced the ancient heating system. With any emergency I have faced, I have received only the most excellent service. I really can't say enough about the quality of the service men who have worked at my home; without exception, over the last ten years, these experts have provided the most friendly, most qualified installation and repairs, accompanied by advice, information, and knowledge, on-time arrival. Just today, a new AVH employee came to do a yearly check on my AC system, and right away his knowledge and his personable manner made me feel comfortable; when he said that he had been working with the company a short while and felt privileged to work for American Vintage Home, I knew that the company had made yet another good decision about whom to hire, how to train him, what to expect from him, and how to make him feel a part of the very good company. That's the sort of company I, as a customer, am proud to deal with.

Update: Bob M. came today (November 13, 2013) to provide our yearly checkup on our heating system. As usual, he did a thorough job in making our radiators stop clanging now and then, and also as usual, he was friendly, careful, personable, and a really nice man in talking with us about our system and how to care for it now and what we might do in the future.
Update: Steve B. has been in our basement several times in the last month--January 2016--for routine check-ups, but in particular to "solve" a clanging/banging sound that erupted regularly in winter for the last year or so. Steve B replaced two ten-year-old motors, draining pipes and radiators, and though he made no promises about getting rid of the noises, he did just that--as well as adding several rubber pieces in another pipe to stop noises there. Not a sound comes from those pipes and those radiators. Just wonderful, warm quiet. And, truly, Steve is another employee at American Vintage Home who seems to be just among the very best. He is an expert at what he does; he is kind and generous and thoughtful with his customers; he certainly represents his company--American Vintage Home--in the best light. I would never consider using another company for any service that AVH provides.

Tim was great, took the time to explain all of our options and we came to a great solution for our plumbing issue.

Great company and very friendly, professional technicians! They will make sure you get the service you need, not what you can be sold on. Would recommend to anybody looking for heating, cooling, or plumbing services.

AVH just replaced the space-pack in our 1934 home. They did a great job! They were easy to work with at every stage starting with the first home visit, inspection and estimate process. During this phase they took their time and carefully examined our old system and then thoroughly discussed and educated us on our options. My wife and I had many questions which were patiently answered. Their pricing was reasonable and significantly less than one of the estimates we received. The estimate is itemized, detailed and clear, so their is no confusion regarding the exact system, components and services that are included.
The installation crew that subsequently came after we decided on our system was outstanding. They were polite, extremely neat with tarps and paper placed on all of our shelving and the carpet near the work area and attic access. The 2 man crew knew exactly what they were doing and worked two 11 hour days in a row to complete the job.The first day when they left, the work area was immaculate. The old system and all debris was removed, leaving us with a new, powerful, quiet AC system. Our job included replacing the old, Space-Pak unit in the attic, the outside condenser, new ducts, connections, etc.
10 days after installation AVH scheduleds and sent out a technician who carefully double checks our whole new system to make sure everything is working properly-it was!
This company takes its reputation very seriously. Every employee we met in the process was outstanding. You should definitely have AVH give you an estimate before you commit to your next project

I am very pleased with the job that Ramon did at the annual maintainance checkup for the 3 furnaces in our 3 flat. He explained all that he did and gave me some good suggestions on what I could do to further improve their efficiency.
