We were very pleased with today's technician. He arrived on time and was both friendly and professional. He explained what the options were and did the one we were comfortable with. We would appreciate having him return, should we have a problem.read more

Last Friday morning we lost heat because our nest thermostat was giving an error message that it wasn’t receiving power. It was cold and we needed someone to come out same day to fix it. I called Ravinia at 9am and they came by at 1030. They fixed the thermostat and we have not had any issues with the recent polar vortex that hit Chicagoland. It was the best $169 we spent. Thank you Ravinia for saving the day and our family from this arctic chill. We know who to call next time! Next time, I’ll just request that the techs take off their shoes. I had to do some cleanup after they left.read more

It seemed to be very good. The technician was on time and answered all my questions. My husband died unexpectedly a month ago and he had always taken care of the service calls. I really appreciated the time the tech took to help me out.read more

During the many years we have used Ravinia's services, we never have been disappointed. Every person who has come to our house was skilled, timely, friendly and efficient. One should expect reliability from a service provider. That word sums up our experience with Ravinia.read more

We purchased new a/c & furnace from Bishop in 2014 and have had excellent service since with regard to annual maintenance. The furnace inspection which was done 10/15/18 was done by JACK. He was on time and was probably the best tech we have had. He explained everything, even things we already knew but it was a good "refresher" course and he was just a very pleasant person.read more

Just had my furnace, a/c and hot water heater replaced. Nick, Charlie, Victor and Jon did a great job! They were very courteous, friendly and professional. One thing is that any of the technicians that work for Ravinia always leave the job site clean when they leave. They always cover their shoes and put down protective mats or cloths to cover the carpet or hardwood floors. It is VERY much appreciated! Also Ron, the salesperson that I was working with, is easy to work with and very helpful with any questions that I had. Thank you for a great job! Kevin Saiki.read more

I was incredibly impressed with the timeliness of our service.

Bob was our technician, and he did a great job.

Ravinia installed a new air conditioner a few days ago. We've been in our house for 17 years (we built it in 2001), and our AC has always been pretty weak. We found that the entire experience with Ravinia was very good, from the initial estimate to the installation. Every person came on time; it was easy to schedule; the technicians were very knowledgeable . The total cost was high, but we hope that the new systems solves our cooling problems.read more

The sales person, Ron Mrowiec, did an excellent job in defining our heating and cooling needs insofar as equipment is concerned. The installers did an excellent job on the installation insofar as explaining mechanical aspects, doing the installation itself, and explaining the workings of our fancy new thermostat. I couldn't be more pleased. The pricing was higher than anticipated, and higher than one of the competing bids, and I would have been happier if Ron/Ravinia had provided a larger discount, but I bought from you because I had/have more faith in Ravinia.read more

Saturday at 1:00 I noticed water coming up from the floor drain in the basement, I called Ravinia and was told Ray was on another job, but could be over by 2:00. Needless to say I was thrilled that someone was available so quickly. Within a half hour Ray called me to say he was on his way and would be to my home shortly. When he arrived he was pleasant, remembered being at my house for other service before and he got to work rodding the sewer drain from the street toward the house. We talked while he worked and explained to me that roots are always growing and this maintenance should be done on a regular basis. I truly appreciate the prompt and efficient service on a Saturday afternoon. Thank you Ray and Ravinia Plumbing for being consistently dependable !read more

Ravinia Technicians installed a new AC unit today at our home. The technicians arrived on time and got to work quickly. We discussed the particulars about what was to happen, made sure the correct unit was to be installed and they went about the business of getting the unit installed. It took about three hours to get the project finished. Upon completion of the process the technician and I discussed the warranty and a few other concerns and all were answered. I had scheduled the installation a few months ago and had no trouble picking the date that worked best for my schedule. We feel the price is comparable for our Carrier AC unit.read more

not sure if my previous note came through! Rick came to service our boiler. He was very nice and explained that it was time for a new one. Then Jeff helped us select a new one, followed up with me several times during the process and could not have been more kind and helpful. Roy and Don then came and spent a day installing the new boiler. We were incredibly appreciative of their expertise. They were so patient explaining to us how everything worked. We were delighted with the whole process. thank youread more

I have the utmost respect and confidence in Bishop heating and plumbing. I have used them for many years. They bend over backwards to be of service. Years ago we needed new furnace in middle of Christmas and frigid cold. They supplied heaters etc because furnace had to be ordered and it's was middle of holiday. We really appreciated their care fir our comfort. They have the best servicemen. One is nicer than the other. Always a pleasant service call ..read more

Excellent, courteous, personable. Kevin has been our air conditioning tech for several years and I trust him to help me get the most out of my investment.

I recently had a couple of Sears techs come out for washer and dryer service and your men are simply better in every way.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.

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

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

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

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

The technician was polite and flexible in my requests, and took care of the problem very quickly.

Terry came to see about our toilet was was very slow to review.

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

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).
