Thornton did just a fantastic job. I spoke repeatedly with Brian before we decided to go with them for the installation of a new air conditioning unit. They showed up exactly when they said they would and the whole day, they were professional and careful. At multiple steps along the way, they would pause or change something small just to make sure it was done exactly the right way. I cannot recommend them enough.
We have been using Thornton Heating and cooling for at least 11+ years for our home and our rental property. As is clear when I interact with the courteous office staff as well as the knowledgeable and friendly technicians, this business clearly values customers and takes pride in providing outstanding service. Thornton people are prompt, reliable, professional—it’s a pleasure to work with them. Highly recommended.
We had some strange issues with our air-conditioning this summer and thermostats failing. It was a very unusual problem and the staff did an excellent job locating and repairing the issue. I would highly recommend this company.
NIck did a great job. He repaired the problem with the AC very quickly. He also gave me information about installing a new AC. There was no pressure. He just gave me the information to enable me to make an informed decision.This was a service call late on a Saturday. But, Nick was very polite, personable and helpful.
Thorton bent over backwards to get our new system in quickly. Gave us a great price and pro installation as well!
When I purchased my first home last year, I knew I wanted to install an AC system at some point. The home had forced air heat, but the former owners used window AC units to handle the cooling. I called up 5 different HVAC crews to go over my current setup & quote me on what they thought was best. Brian went over everything. He had experience. He was thorough. They were family owned and operated.Many people look at only the dollars and cents when plunging into large expenses, but what gets missed is the credibility & quality of the team installing these mechanicals. I run a third generation manufacturing business, and I learned early on that the savings from using a shoestring crew quickly evaporate from poorly engineered decisions/execution. My gut told me to work with Thornton, and I’m so glad that I did. Everyone from Roxanne in the office (who is kind, patient & professional ) to Justin & Nick (highly experienced installers who CARE about their work) made me feel proud to support their company. My house feels amazing, the quality of work was apparent and their prices were fair. It’s hard to find the right crew with so much competition out there…..but I hope my review helps another person facing this big decision to feel more confident that this is a REALLY WELL RAN OUTFIT. Thank you for taking care of me and my household.
I am always pleased with the professional who comes to our home to do maintenance or repair. It is usually the same person. I trust this company to be truthful and fair about what needs to be done and how much it will cost.
Wonderful experience, Thornton is always professional and friendly. Every time they help us with our air conditioning and heating it is easy and fast. Today we had a very good experience and the problem was taken care of.
Nick repaired our generator. As always, he’s super professional and easy to work with.
Thornton always does a great job! Nick went out of his way today to get the proper filter for my unit. Thanks!
We had mice in our AC the wires were a mess. Nick came out and took a look at the mess, and in 2 hours had our air conditioner up and running.Nick saved us thousands of dollars, as the two other companies that came out were only interested in selling us a new air unit instead of trying to fix it like Nick did!! Thank you so much Nick and Thornton Heating Services Inc You are our future go to HVAC provider..
We always request that Ben at Thornton take care of our HVAC service needs. He has significant expertise when it comes to diagnosing a problem, recommending a solution, and resolving the matter to our complete satisfaction. He is the consummate professional, with an outstanding “bedside manner” in that he is so considerate of his customers and makes certain they understand everything involved in the visit so they can make an informed and wise decision when alternatives are presented for a course of action. We always marvel at his abilities and tireless work ethic. If 10 stars were available to rate Ben’s work, we would gladly do so. With Ben on the scene we are assured that our HVAC needs have been superbly managed.
We have been using Thornton for over 10 years. They take care of us and our HVAC system. They’re real pros. They tell us what to do so we don’t have to call them. They value they add to their service is top notch. Highly recommended.
Ben was professional, through going through our system and explaining what he found while cleaning. Very polite. Highly recommend!
Thornton is a first class operation in every way. They are responsive, dependable, and knowledgeable. We’ve been working with Thornton for over 10 years and continue to be very happy.
Always have a fantastic experience with Ben who is very thorough and always takes the time to explain everything that was performed and answer all my questions.
I have used Thorton Heating since I purchased my home 13 years ago. They are extremely professional. The service personnel are super and know their jobs.The office staff always gets back within a timely mannerEmergencies are handled anytime we call.
Semi-annual service. On time and efficient. Always great service.
Great experience! Highly recommended. I had a list of HVAC issues that needed to be looked at. All were fixed to my satisfaction.
Called for service on our humidifier pleasure to have Technician Ben . Very professional and straight forward approach. Highly recommended as a result will plan to have an annual service maintenance with them . Thanks.
On time, professional service, Ive had this system for 12 yrs with absolutely no problems
The team worked extremely hard and gave us excellent service. We are so happy to be their customers and we highly recommend them.
They always go above and beyond the call. I have been using Thorton heating for well over 20 years. They are always there when I need them no matter what the issue may be. They are very reliable and extremely honest and dependable.
Extremely friendly, timely, and efficient. Did a great job maintaining my furnace. We’re cleanly and safe. I will be using this company again.
I’ve never trusted a company with my heating, air conditioner, and whole house filtration as much as I trust, rely, and count on Thornton! Been a satisfied customer going on ten years.
Courteous, detailed, and communicative. Great service!
Thornton is a fantastic HVAC company and has been servicing my home since I moved in 3 years ago, and they have serviced it since it was built in 1997. I have an annual service plan so I never have to worry about anything going wrong because they visit quarterly and keep things in tip top shape. When something needs to be repaired or replaced they provide details, options and pricing in advance and patiently answer all of my questions. Nick, especially, goes above and beyond and his attention to my home is valued and appreciated. I highly highly highly recommend Thornton!
Fantastic experience as usual. Brian, Nick and crew are professional and highly skilled. Great job!
Family run company that values your business
We first used Thornton when they installed a Generac back up generator. Nick and Mitch were so thorough, so detailed, making sure that everything was exactly to code. We have since used Thornton for all our heating, A/C and plumbing. Their technicians are so experienced, extremely knowledgeable, courteous, and they leave the house cleaner than when they arrived! We just had two new 75 gallon water heaters put in. Ricky and Mitch were here the whole day. Our faucets (stream and pressure) are working better than before the installation. The guys put in a back up alarm system in case of leaks (which happened with our old water heaters). They also reconstructed pipes so that each water heater would operate independently. Thorntons work is so detailed, so complete, and so thorough. Thornton is extremely trustworthy, and very responsive. Kim is the best in scheduling appointments and following up, making sure everything gets done, and we are extremely satisfied. I highly recommend Thornton for any heating, A/C and plumbing. Their work and customer service is outstanding.
We have used Thornton for our heating and air-conditioning needs for many years. They perform annual spring and fall regular maintenance on our systems and last year installed new furnace and air-conditioning systems, including the necessary thermostats, etc. They are professional, on time, on budget and trustworthy. We have gotten to know the people who work at Thornton and they are nice people to work with and have in the house. Would recommend Thornton to anyone.
Extremely pleased with Thortons service. This is the second time I used them and they always do a thorough job.
They were on time. They did a great job on everything they worked on. All work looks great and is now working properly. The technicians were courteous and cleaned up after they were done. Very happy with Thornton’s work and will use them again.
Great sales team, great products, and great installation. They installed a zoning system for our house so that the second floor could be controlled by its own thermostat. The result has been great and we are very happy!
Thornton always does a good job.Used their website to send a message yesterday evening and got a call 1st thing this morning and Rick arrived around 2pm, even earlier than the 3-5pm window.Had them replace my baseboard heaters a year or so ago and today, Rick came out and installed Freon.Highly recommend.
Great company to work with very professional .did a great job on installation been a customer over 20 years
We have used Thornton Heating for over 30 years. Their workmen are knowlegdeable about their craft, hard-working,and efficient. They always are neat at their work space as well. Highly recommended. We have 3 furnaces and air conditioners, a generator, and a new hot water heater.
I used Thornton for a planned AC and furnace/humidifier replacement after having them out for a duct cleaning the year before. They arrive exactly on time, every time. Brian provided detailed information and a number of options for what would work for me, didnt pressure me to purchase more than I needed. I have had other contractors talk down to me and Thorntons representatives never have. Extremely polite and conscientious, cleaned up after themselves and took care to do things like close my fence so that my dog didnt run away. Good work--looks clean and so much better than the old unit. I am loving it!
Rick was so professional and kind. He took care of the furnace in a timely manner and explained what he had done at the end of the appointment. He is great!
Mitch did a great job. Explained everything and professional. Would highly recommend!
Communication was excellent; work was done well and efficiently. The technician was well prepared for the task to be completed.
A fabulous company. I put a new air conditioning unit into my home last summer. My old air conditioner was cheaper but I always had to worry how long it would last. There was constant freon put into it. The service I have received by this office and quality of maintenance on this unit with their maintenance plan is exceptional. There is no question that the office and service personnel will not help you with. I feel like the burden of maintaining my home is not my responsibility anymore as long as they are in charge. I would trust them to make any decision for me.
Once again we had a major improvement in our home done by Rick and Nick of Thornton Heating Services, Inc. We had a new tankless water heater and a water recirculating system installed. This recirculating system provides hot water in our faucets within seconds. For years, we had to let water run continuously for minutes before hot water finally would get to our kitchen sink, and bathroom sinks. It is REALLY nice to have hot water when doing dishes and washing our hands after using the toilet. It took Rick and Nick the entire day to get everything installed and working. When they left, they cleaned up so well that one wouldnt know that service men had been here. I have nothing but high praise for work done for us by Thornton employees who service all os our HVAC equipment for many years.
Ricky Babian couldnt have been nicer or more helpful! He did an excellent job installing a new heat exchanger, humidifier and fancy thermostat. Was quiet, neat and patiently educated us on the new wifi/Amazon guidance system. Highly recommend Thorton for quality, value, responsiveness and punctuality!
Great service!
From the quote to the completion of the work, Thornton delivered. We had a gas garage heater installed and they did an awesome job! Looking forward to using it in the brutal Midwest winter.
I have used Thornton Heating for years. They are always prompt and knowledgeable. They are always upfront with pricing. Their scheduling department is very professional. I am glad to recommend Thornton.
Incredible service and expertise— it does not get much better than this!!
We have been using Thornton Heating for several years. The latest project was the installation of a Mitsubishi Hyper Heat split-ductless cooling/heating system for the 2nd floor of our Cape Cod style home. Since we have boiler heat in our home, there are no ducts available for traditional air-conditioning to be installed. This system is great, as each room has a small unit mounted on an exterior wall and provides heat or air-conditioning per an individual thermostat. Thus each room can be controlled independently from the others. All units are connected to a central outdoor unit by small lines that are disguised to look like normal drain gutters.Excellent work was done by Nick and Rick. The job was completed on time and the system is working beautifully.We have also had other work done by Thornton Heating in the past, including downstairs A/C and the installation of a Generac Generator. We are totally satisfied with all of the systems. They come out twice a year for normal maintenance on all of the systems, including our boiler, which they clean and prepare for the next season.
Nick did a great job fixing a leaky condensate line. Quick to respond, thorough and neat. THS is the best!!
Vert positive experience working with Thornton Heating. Nick, was very thorough. Explained what was wrong and what should be fixed. I will recommend Thornton Heating.
Thorton has done a great job for us for many years on maintenance and replacement. Today Ben earned an extra gold star from me by diagnosing and fixing an intermittent leak in a dehumidifier hose. We knew we had a problem but had no idea what it was until Ben figured it out.
It was great to work with Thornton on the replacement of my furnace and a/c. Brian was thorough in his estimates, and Mitch and Rick did a great job installing over the 2 days.
I have been a customer since 2005 and I give Thornton the highest marks. I would recommend them without hesitation and have referred friends who feel the same way.
We recently replaced our 30-year-old Trane furnace and A/C (still reliably running!) with a higher efficiency Trane system. Brian prepared quotes for three systems with different levels of efficiency and cost, and we selected the mid-level system.We are very satisfied with the professional installation and detailed workmanship. Replacing such an old system required significant modifications to the duct work, flues, and electrical in order to meet current codes.The install team of Brian, Rick, and Nate was very courteous, gladly answered questions, and explained the operation of the upgraded system.We are very happy with our purchase and the entire experience, and we highly recommend Thornton as an excellent source for heating and cooling needs. Two thumbs up for Thornton and Trane, they make a great team!!
Recently purchased home in Illinois and needed our HVAC system serviced. The technician arrived on-time, was polite, and very thorough.After receiving extremely high quality service (this is our sixth home) we scheduled to have the HVAC ducts cleaned as the house is 21 years old. The technician also arrived on-time, and he was extremely helpful in addressing issues we were having with airflow in two of our rooms. The technician discovered ventilation ducts that were crushed (someone stepped on them) and was able to make the repairs that same day.I have read some previous posts, and I would take them with a grain of salt as the individuals that wrote these reviews only seem to have negative things to say about everything. Do your research and find the contractor that is best for you!
Thought service was good ac was fixed. Was not happy about my humidifier being turned on and the drain pipe getting broke. My carpet got soaked. Fortunately somebody came the next day and fixed it. What Im am really unhappy about is the fact that my replacement parts were marked up 400%. I found both parts on grainger for around $40-$60 each. I work as a service technician on top of the line cnc machine tools and in our industries spare are generally marked up 20%- 100% not 400%.
Thornton Heating Services, Inc is one of our preferred partners for heating, cooling, and air quality service. Great company and stellar staff!
5 stars for service, though pricing is a bit excessive and in some cases marked up %400+
