Ravinia came out for my annual furnace/boiler maintenance. Always easy. Always professional. Always thorough. I have been so grateful to be a member of the Home Care Club for over 8 years. Ravinia has been always been there for me--quickly--when I've had a home emergency. The Home Care Club has always paid for itself and is so valuable to me. Thank you!read more

"Our" person at Ravinia is Chris. He's professional and communicates clearly. He came to our house today just hours after we called (!) for a sump pump issue. While here he asked about our bathroom faucets, which he fixed six months ago (they're perfect). It's rare these days to be able to recommend not only a company but a particular person at that company. Five stars for Ravinia and Chris. Highly recommended.read more

We contacted Ravinia Plumbing, Sewer, Heating and Electric because our sump pump failed over the weekend and our basement was partially flooded. We called on a Monday morning a little before 10 AM to see about getting someone over to replace the sump pump and Ravinia originally scheduled us for that Monday afternoon which worked for us. Well, we got a call around 20 minutes later with the surprising news that someone could be at our home in 20 minutes. Brian arrived on time and replaced our old pump. He was knowledgeable and took the time to walk through what was replaced and how it should operate. This is our second time turning to Ravinia and on both occasions, from initial call to the service call, they have been courteous and professional. Our work has also been reasonably priced. I do recommend their work on the plumbing side and will be using them again in the future.read more

Ravinia is a high quality company with great customer service and a professional staff of union tradesmen who are fully trained, experienced, and qualified to do any job I have. I've used them repeatedly and gotta say they really know how to take care of a customer. I've had them replace a boiler, install a new hot water tank, service AC and furnaces, add GFI outlets, replace electrical panels, and other things and I know it'll always be done right the first time.read more

Our water heater unexpectedly broke; we called multiple locations and no one picked up the phone. Ravinia Plumbing answered the call, had a technician out within the hour and the new water heater installed within two hours. We were extremely grateful; Dan our tech was fantastic, explained everything clearly to us on what he was going to do and then what to do with the new heater. Would definitely use Ravinia for other plumbing needs and recommend to others.read more

Ravinia technicians were on time and courteous with my AC compressor replacement. They even looked at my other, second AC compressor that started acting up just before they arrived. Turns out is was a capacitor, which was still under warranty, and they replaced that too at no additional cost! (part was under warranty.) We buy a preventative maintenance program for both of our furnaces and AC units from Ravinia, and they always do a great job and treat us right.read more

Ravinia Plumbing has become my go-to for my plumbing needs. With the difficulty of getting a general contractor with the high demand environment I called Ravinia to re-configure the plumbing in a full bath-to-powder room conversion to get that potion of the project addressed. Jason took the extra time to explain exactly what he was doing and why, which puts the customer’s mind at ease. He even addressed several aesthetic questions which were very important to me. And my general contractor that came in to do the remaining work commended the plumbing because everything was buttoned up and ready for them to tackle.read more

Jeff and Chris at Ravinia Plumbing were amazing! They were professional, informative and solved our plumbing issues quickly and correctly. We had a frozen pipe that they were able to bring back to working order and also fixed our shower fixture that wasn’t properly installed when we bought the house.

We purchased a home and our inspector gave us a list of things that needed to be looked into/installed/repaired/replaced.We called Ravinia for plumbing, electrical and HVAC services. All three professionals were excellent. They arrived on time, were very competent, hard working, and equally important - They were honest and conscientious people who did not overcharge, and did not look for services that were not really needed. In fact, one of the professionals said - your inspector was not correct. This is in good condition and does not need replacement. I mean... How refreshing is that?! After some bad experiences with other companies, honesty is very important to us. We highly recommend this company. We joined their Home Care Club, and we intend to use them as long as we live in the area.read more

Our toilet had broken and self-repair was not possible as the shut off was not working. Plumber showed me charges before work started on an iPad. Very professional. Within 1 hour toilet had a new quarter turn shut off and toilet fill valve was fixed. Due to COVID-19 plumber took proper precautions and we were comfortable. Really impressed with overall service.read more

When we could not pin-point why we had a small, small back-up of water in the unfinished basement, we called Ravinia at 11:00 a.m. for a standard service appointment (not an emergency call). The service representative - - Joe H. - - was at our home by 12:00 noon. He was knowledgeable, courteous, professional, thorough, efficient, and effective. His work was outstanding - - and his insights were excellent. Turned out Joe H. determined our matter to be a no-biggie issue. We now have peace of mind, thanks to Joe H. To top things off, our neighbor needed her car battery jumped - - Joe H. finished his Ravinia job and turned into a good neighbor. In less than 10 minutes, Joe H. solved the car battery matter. Great service representative and a great person, too. Thank you, Joe H. Thank you, Ravinia.read more

I am a member of the monthly home club and it is well worth the money. I called Ravinia late at night when I noticed an alarm beeping indicating a failure on my primary sump pump. Ravinia paged the plumber on call who returned my call within several minutes. After talking me through the situation, he determined that my back up pump was working properly and scheduled a service call for first thing the following morning. The technician, Phil, was fantastic. He spent a great deal of time and effort explaining to me how everything works. He also uncovered other plumbing-related issues that were in need of repair. Before he did work, he gave me a clear quote of costs. Great technician. Thanks Phil!read more

I have been so happy with my service lately - we have needed 2 service calls in the past month (for unrelated things). One case was an emergency over a weekend, and we were able to set up same-day service, which was amazing. Jeff was our technician for that visit, and he was very helpful and able to explain the whole service to me in a clear and precise manner. He was also lovely to be around and was very patient with my 4 year old son and his endless curiosity. The other visit was scheduled during the workweek, but right before Thanksgiving, so it was really important to me to get prompt service for my broken kitchen sink! Chris was our technician for this visit, and he could not have been nicer or more helpful. Not only was he able to fix my broken sink, but also took care of some other nagging plumbing issues around my house (one of which was a faucet I tried to install myself, and ended up doing a poor job - I have learned my lesson and will call the professionals next time!).read more

As you know there are many heating & plumbing companies in the north shore. I will continue to use Ravinia because your staff are courteous and efficient. When Roy was here, he remembered me from before and I felt like a valued customer. Besides remembering me, he did an excellent job, cleaned up after himself, and was courteous. Thanks Ravinia job well done.read more

Most disappointed with our seven year old Carrier units, installed by a previous co. Have spent $3,000 on repair, and as seniors have been without heat during the coldest times. Technician, Roy, was very pleasant and no nonsense.....got the job done well. Also appreciated the part picked up instead of waiting for it to come in. We have done $$$ business with Ravinia since making the switch. Some of the service is excellent, [in all areas] a few I would not want back in my house.read more

We had been a customer of Ravinia Plumbing & HVAC for many years, but switched to another provider after having some service problems with Ravinia a number of years ago. However, we recently needed to replace both our furnaces, both our AC units and our water heater in the midst of renovating our home, and called Bishop Heating & Cooling for one of our quotes. Jeff from Bishop called back to let me know that they had been acquired by Ravinia, and that he was aware of my service concerns with them from in the past, but he'd like to win my business again. Jeff spent significant time in preparing a couple different quotes for us, making sure I understood the differences between the two quotes and the advantages that either option would provide for our home. His knowledge of the equipment, the efficiency and comfort advantages of each, and all the details required for installation was well beyond what any of the other providers was able to offer. In addition, he responded quickly to my emails and calls to prepare us for our decision. Once we decided to use Ravinia, Jeff accompanied the installation team -- Charlie, Dan and Don -- to our home to walk through all of the details and make sure all would be installed correctly. Don, the installer of the water heater, was extremely efficient and thorough in his work, making sure we were without water and hot water for as short a time as possible, and correcting some related plumbing issues in the process of installation, which significantly improved our hot water situation in the home. Charlie and Dan were similarly thorough and detailed in their work, making a complicated installation of very high-tech equipment quite painless. And all of the installers were very friendly, presentable and timely throughout the installation process. At the end of the installation, Charlie was very helpful in getting us familiar with the new system and how to use the thermostats and online app to manage our comfort settings. Ravinia has definitely won our business back with a very different service level than had been provided under the direction of the previous owner.read more

Technicians are very professional and willing to explain and answer questions. They arrived on time (within the time frame they had predicted) Scheduling service was simple. I have only one suggestion, since I had scheduled the service several weeks in advance, I would recommend a reminder email the day or two prior to appointment. I always put my appointments on my calendar, but actually called on the day scheduled to double check if someone was coming since I had no prior reminder.read more

Gary from Ravinia Plumbing and Heating came right on time. He introduced himself and took off his dry shoes as not to dirty our carpet. He was professional and friendly and took the time to explain what needed to be done and the cost of the repair upfront. He even checked the sump pump with recommendations. He was thorough and finished in a timely manner. I hope the next time I call Ravinia Plumbing and Heating, Gary will be our serviceman.read more

Most recent 2 experiences: Larry B for furnace maintenance and Danny for plumbing. Can't speak highly enough about both these guys. They are both so knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, and informative. I request them and they are one reason I've appreciated Ravinia so much. Not the only reason but a big factor. They use initiative to solve problems and are expert at what they do. The scheduling team is always as helpful as they can be in meeting my needs and this past year I've had over and above service in re to some issues that arose after I had a new HVAC system installed last year. Several follow up visits were made to make things right and it was very helpful to me.read more

You responded to my service request very quickly. I experienced a flooded floor from a leaky pipe on Wed and by thurs. a plumber was at my home fixing it. The leak was in a difficult area requiring cutting into my wall. The plumber was very efficient. He found the rusted pipe deep in the wall, changed it and cleaned up very effectively. He obviously knew what he was about. I am very grateful to have this over and very satisfied with the quality of the job. Thanksread more

We would recommend him & your company.read more

When I called for a basic inquiry the phone was answered in a friendly and professional manner. They took the time to let me explain why I was calling and then asked me specific questions. While my heating situation was not an emergency, they scheduled a technician in the afternoon, within 3 hours!! Fast response, and a great service call that solved my issue at a fair price.read more

I called Ravinia Plumbing because I have a specific brand of wall toilet system that I thought was leaking. Other plumbers were hesitant to try and service the toilet. The technician, Jeff, who came out to the house was excellent! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions. It turned out that it wasn't the toilet that was leaking, but the shower next to it in which the drain had not been installed correctly. Jeff had to cut the ceiling in the area below in order to access the plumbing and do the repair. He ended up spending the morning doing the work. He also checked the other shower drains in the house to make sure they did not have the same issue. Thankfully, they were installed correctly. Throughout it all, Jeff was wonderful. I really appreciate all he did. I am so glad I found Ravinia Plumbing (on the internet) and made the phone call to them. I would not hesitate to call them again.read more

He conducted himself in a friendly yet professional manner.read more

As usual, outstanding service!! Technicians are prompt, courteous, and knowledgeable!! Customer service from the office personnel is also outstanding!! I had been a customer of Mahoney Plumbing and Heating since 1986 and when it merged, then sold to Ravinia several years ago, I became a Ravinia customer and have always been extremely pleased. It has become an integral part of my "professional service family."read more

The company called to say that the piece needed for my job was found to be defective when the technician was examining the parts for the job. Although I appreciate the call to let me know that they would be showing up later, I would have appreciated it more if they had checked the parts the day before and let me know. I already had my day scheduled and was without a car as I knew I wouldn't need one. When the technician did show up (I think it was Andy), he was pleasant and profssional and answered all my questions and spoke with my husband over the phone. He did a great job, cleaned up and was pleasant to interact with.read more

Ravinia Plumbing came when they said they would. Dan explained what the cost would be, with or without parts. Luckily we didn't need any parts because as customers we are always trying to keep our costs at a minimum. Dan assessed the situation, corrected the problem and was on his way. He has been here before, so I was comfortable to have him here. He is nice and polite and you should be happy to have him as one of your repairmen. You have always tried to schedule a visit as soon as you can - and you succeeded again. Thank You.read more

This last experience I had with Ravinia was as positive and always. Both Jeff and Dave R were here to do plumbing work and they did an excellent job. Both were so professional, knowledge, and determined to get the job done even though a few obstacles presented themselves. I truly have never worked with such great contractors and I am so thrilled that I found Ravinia. I am pushing my brother in Wilmette to join "the club" as well!read more

We have used Ravinia for the past 18 months and have been very happy with the service. We are members and I always think you are on the expensive side but there is nothing like easy scheduling and technicians that are on time and pleasant. Customer service is very important to me. I do think some are better at this than others but overall satisfied. Everyone likes promotions so I think you should continue to do coupons and include members since we often refer you and call you every time.read more

I appreciated how fast Ravinia was able to schedule a technician to come out and take care of my clogged sewer pipe! I called at approximately 7:30AM and was advised by the representative that she would have someone out first thing,.. between 8 and 9 in the morning, same day. The technician was polite and flexible in my requests, and took care of the problem very quickly. And, advised what needs to be done as far as annual maintenance to help assure future problems can possibly be avoided and or reduced in severity. This information is helpful,.. being proactive is important as a home owner.read more

I called Ravinia at 1:30pm and Brian B., the tech, arrived about an hour later. He completed everything within 30 minutes and explained any issues. He also explained what to do in the future. Charge for services was reasonable. Everyone at Ravinia is consistently the best at everything they do. We have been using Ravinia's services for over ten years, and as a member we will continue to be a member in the future.read more

The technician, Jason, was extremely skilled, professional and courteous. He was very expeditious in diagnosing the problem and completing the work (installed a new hot water heater, brought a couple of valves up to code, and rerouted the ice maker water line) in ~2.5 hours. It was very easy to schedule service. I called around 7:30 am and the work was completed by 3pm on the same day. While Ravinia is not the "cheapest" game in town, the work is always high quality and can be counted on.read more

Terry came to see about our toilet was was very slow to review. Initially, he saw that we needed several new parts for the tank, but after installing those parts he found that the toilet was still not working properly. He called the office and asked them to send out an additional part. He then had to remove the tank, take everything out and reinstall with the original new parts and the additional part. He did a great job. The toilet is working fine and he was very careful to keep the area clean. Great job.read more

Very good. We called and were able to get an appointment quickly that fit our schedule. The technician's were friendly and able to diagnose our problem and correct it on the spot, after confirming estimated costs (which was really important to us). They spent time with me understanding what work they thought was worth doing, and what alternate options we might have in order to save money (which is also really important to us). JJ and Joe did a great job and corrected our drainage problem. I'm looking forward to seeing Lake Silver in our backyard dry up and disappear.read more

Tim was here today to service all four AC units. It takes a long time and endless trips up and down stairs and in and out of house!

Nick and David did an unbelievable job in replacing my spacepak system. Timely, professional and friendly. Highest quality job - exceptional attention to detail. Worked long hours the first day to insure system was cooling before leaving for the day and then returned the next day to balance air flow and recheck everything. Jeff Johnson has also been great through both the sales and installation process quick to follow up and everything. I have never been disappointed with Ravinia service but this experience has been the best by far.read more

Charlie came to my house on October 27, '16. Originally, a different date was scheduled, but Ravinia called to reschedule another day and was very kind to make it close to the original date. Charlie arrived here on time. In fact, he was waiting in my driveway when I got home from work. He was very thorough, very helpful, and is/was always nice to see and talk to. That's why I request that Charlie be the technician to come and do my furnace work. I think that the fees charged are comparable to other companies.read more

Reed arrived on time after calling when he would arrive. He was very polite and informative about what was wrong with the air conditioner and gave me a quote before working on the unit.

I will highly recommend your services to friends and use Ravinia for other needs with heating, air conditioning and plumbing.read more

He has serviced me in the past including when an house emergency occurred. He made arrangements for Ravinia Plumbing to fix the problem which was not within work domain.read more

Great service from Kevin H., the service technician. He arrived as scheduled, and did a thorough inspection of our furnaces and thermostats. I appreciated that he covered his shoes with paper booties as he entered my house. He answered my questions about ways to try and save money on my heating bills this winter, & I felt confident with his expert knowledge. He also took the time to explain what is the new Ravinia Plumbing & Heating Family of companies and how my new membership gives me options and benefits. I will absolutely ask for Kevin for the Spring inspection of my air conditioners.read more
