Perry is very reliable and has saved us in both summer and winter HVAC crises. Our SpacePak AC system would freeze up after just a few hours of running and the typical fixes that other technicians suggested (basically, more refrigerant) had no effect. Perry evacuated the system, installed a freeze stat and new filter drier and the system finally started running well.

We had even more, unrelated problems with the system (corroded circuit board, broken thermostat) and Perry always came out immediately to diagnose and fix the problem. He always checks up hours and days later too, which is very comforting. He's done great work on our hot water boiler as well - heroically getting it to re-light at 3 in the morning in -20 weather! I'm so grateful that we found him.

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

Perri-Aire has been taking care of the HVAC of my Wrigleyville 3-flat since they started business in 1987. This included maintaining the original boiler and steam heat, and then transitioning all 3 units to individually controlled gas forced air and air conditioning with all of the associated ductwork. Perri-Aire also installed radiant floor heating when the 1st floor was duplexed with the unfinished basement.

I have had an annual maintenance program in place with Perri-Aire since day-one. Per the contract, they performed the annual furnace clean and check and filter replacement in the late fall. I am happy to report that during the recent article blast, all 3 units maintained a comfortable temperature as set per the thermostat, and the radiant-heated floor on the lower level was warm to walk on. I highly recommend Perri-Aire for all of your HVAC maintenance, repairs, upgrades, and new construction needs. Pete W.

Perri-Aire have been my heating/cooling service provider for at least 7 or 8 years, and I couldn't be happier with them. Kathy is always incredibly friendly and helpful on the phone, and Perry is truly knowledgeable and professional - apart from just being a really great and funny guy. We have an old Victorian house, so it takes someone with genuine understanding and knowledge to deal with the issues that arise.

Apart from general annual maintenance on both the cooling and heating, Perry has fixed old leaking radiators and ultimately a couple of years ago he had to entirely replace our furnace and boiler. It's at times like that when you really appreciate having someone totally trustworthy and reliable to give you the confidence that you are doing the right things. I would recommend Perri-Aire to anyone.

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

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

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

Just had yet another great visit from Perry. Perry and Cathy rock! The great thing about these guys isn't just that they know their stuff, but that they will never sell you on something you don't need. I cannot recommend them higher. I will never use anyone else for heating or AC work. Good people. Great service. I like them. I trust them. End of story.

Perry is the most wonderful person to deal with. This is my 2nd review and they have never let us down. I highly recommend them.

I have used Perri-Aire a couple times, and most recently my AC stopped working over this past warm weekend. They were able to come to my house the day I called them, and they were able to fix my AC fast and for a great price. My service technician was courteous and pleasant. I hope to not have problems with heat or AC soon, but if I do I will definitely be calling Perri-Aire.

I have used Perri-Aire for HVAC/cooler repair and maintenance for my restaurant for many years. After trying a few different "cheaper" options that ended up costing me more money in the long run, I know now who to call first. The work is completed promptly, correctly and is fairly priced. The staff pleasant and professional. I've also used them for residential work to great satisfaction as well. I highly recommend Perri-Aire for both commercial and residential needs.

Not good at returning calls. It took about 5-7 calls over a couple weeks just to actually get an estimate scheduled. Then there was no follow up after the estimate visit. I had to reach out 1.5 weeks later, and never received the email information as promised. The lack of response and the estimate finally coming in at 3X the other quotes, leads me to think they were not interested.

Company is a small, owner-run operation which is probably best suited for standard basic boiler/furnace work. Our hydronic radiant floor heat seemed a bit too much for them, as the pricing was more than 3X other quotes, and they were not familiar with alternate heat source options, such as radiant electric boilers.

We have been using Perri-Aire for about ten years now. After a frustrating set of experiences with our previous heating service, found them to be an excellent company. We have a 12 year old Weil-Mclain high efficiency boiler and thanks to Perry and crew, its running well. Highly recommended!

Of course when the weather turned extremely cold, our furnace starting having issues. Based on some feedback from members of our homeowners association, we called Perri-Aire. They came out the same day we called, and fixed our problem. Very professional crew, a pleasure to work with and were reasonably priced (no pushing for more than what was required to fix the problem). If we ever have heat or water heater issues, we'll be sure to call them again. Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Perri Aire Inc. for your furnace and air conditioning needs! I first hired Perri Aire Inc. to service our furnace for an annual cleaning and maintenance. The owner, Perry, impressed me very much with his knowledge and expertise. I found his ability to observe and evaluate our furnace needs while providing multiple solutions for our furnace problem to be top notch.

Since then I've hired Perri Aire Inc. to perform an annual service on our air conditioning unit for not only my unit but for multiple units in our condo building - 2 years in a row. Perri Aire Inc. has done a fantastic job every time! Oscar is very friendly and is super easy to work with. The customer service received from Perry and Oscar just cannot be beat - friendly, appreciative and very accommodating to their customers. Again, I highly recommend Perri Aire Inc. for your furnace and air conditioning needs.

My furnace died at 4am on a Sunday and I called all the usual suspects. Everyone was will to come out, but no one would promise me they would have or be able to get the parts to fix it. Perri-Arie stood out among the crowd for a few reasons: 1) When I asked if they would have the part that I was 90% certain was the problem, they asked for the make/model/serial numbers of the furnace and the part and said they'd call back. 15 mins or so later they called back and were completely honest about that they couldn't get it until Monday morning. 2) After we setup an appt for Monday morning, they called later that afternoon to check up on us and see how we were holding up.

Some of the others couldn't even be bothered to call us back and tell us when they could get the part and Perri-Aire called to make sure we weren't getting too cold. I ended up getting the part on my own and got the heat back running, but the next time I need some HVAC work done, Perri-Aire is going to be my first call (and then they'll get the 5th star I'm sure they would have gotten if they'd done the work).
