So glad to have a great professional like Michael come to our house. He was thorough and knew what to look for. He found and removed a clump of hair and dust from our blower motor that our previous service company has missed for many years. We will be using Kern from now on. Service was same day and affordable.

Kern heating was professional and prompt. We needed a whole new system and was under a time constraint, they delivered in a big way. From Austin’s prompt delivery of 3 estimates , Sergio and the other technicians knowledge , skill set and professionalism they made this a seamless process.

Have been using this company for many, many years. They are easy to work with and give you the best options to help you save money. They do our yearly maintenance for our heating and A/C units. I always request Chris because he always does an outstanding job! We had one of our A/C units replaced several months ago and they did a nice job with that too! Definitely consider using them!

I just want to say that Delano Meriweather did an outstanding job on my AC unit. He’s one of the most pleasant and professional people I’ve dealt with. I’m a retired engineer and I’ve dealt with a lot of people in the various trades over my 45 year career and Delano is a top notch person. Kern, you have a great employee in Delano. Kurt

Mr. Delano was very professional, found the reason for a faulty air conditioner in no time and replaced the capacitor. I paid $325. Per my request, he checked the coolant and it was fine. He did not charge me for that.I wa very happy the problem was solved fast and efficiently and I can leave tomorrow with calm conscience.Thank you very much!

Am very pleased the way Chris completed my heating/furnace maintenance. He was on time, explained what he was doing and how well my furnace was working. Took his time in cleaning the furnace and checking all its parts. Showed me how to replace the furnace air filter, and told me the exact part numbers that I have to look for when purchasing a new filter. Explained the terms of my service agreement, when that will have to be renewed, and when to schedule my next maintenance/service call for my air conditioner and furnace. Chris did an excellent job.

Michael C was very thorough. He was very professional and used shoe protector/covers when he went inside our house.

Review №49

The epitome of good, old fashioned honest service! They do not try to sell anything, instead they do their very best to work with what you already have. In other words, replacement is their very last option. I had another company out who told me my 4 year old furnace needed $1700 worth of work that probably wouldnt last so I should just replace the furnace for $6k. Kern came in, tuned up the unit, told me to simply replace the filter and were all good - all for $79!!! Before this house, they also went out of their way for us to keep a 20 year old mobile home furnace running far beyond its lifespan. I will never, ever use anyone other than Kern!

We are very pleased with the services offered by Kern heating and cooling. They are very professional and knowledgeable of the work they are doing, Paul Hoskins in particular is absolutely amazing. He has amazing customer service and is genuinely concerned about getting the issues fixed properly and efficiently. He came out the exact same day to figure out the problem and the very next day came with the parts ordered to fix the issue. I will definitely be calling them for any future issues.

We have used Kern Heating and A/C for many years and have always received A-1 service. This heating maintenance call was no different. Chris was on time, maintained all Covid-19 protocols, was courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. When he finished servicing the furnace and humidifier, he explained everything that he had done, and told me that we did not need to purchase the expensive furnace filters that we have Ben using, as the actually block the airflow. We are have a Gold Membership, for maintenance of our furnace, air conditioning and humidifier.Everything was handled very professionally, from the appointment scheduling with Laurie in the office, to being updated about the appointment, to receiving the invoice by email.Thank you, Kern HeatingSincerely,Paula and Dan Meier

Our air conditioning failed on Saturday afternoon of July 4, 2020. I called 2-3 places in our area only to realize that there was a serious premium placed on holiday service. So we waited until Monday morning and looked on the web for h.v.a.c. companies in our area. I called another 2-3 companies and for one reason or another did not accept them. I then called Kern (next in the alphabetic listings!) who said there would be a fee for servicing the call, and then labor and product costs on top of it. We were at that point on our 3rd day without air conditioning, the high temp in each day was in the mid-nineties. All that said, at 4 pm Chris arrived, within the time he said he would be there. He checked the problem, checked our heater, addressed the probable (a sill damned capacitor), fixed it, tested the Freon level in the unit, and gave a general checkup to the unit. All seemed well. He was knowledgeable, clearly drenched from the heat, but willing to help in any way he could. I awoke this morning to a cool house. The pricing in this industry seems pretty high, but when you need it, you get it! Kern seems to me to be a good company. I will use them if needed.

Just had a new furnace and AC unit installed by Kern Heating. They did a great job. The whole process from deciding on the right furnace and AC unit to the installation was very smooth. Love my new furnace which is quieter than the old one. Austin came out to set up the new AC and it is great. Much quieter than old unit! Thanks Kern Heating for a job well done!

Thank you all at Kern heating, I had a unfinished heat and air replacement that was started by another company Nov 1st 2019 the furnace was installed and the a/c was to be completed once the temperature was above 65 deg. I called that company often since may 21 and have been given the run around. So I called Kern heating they scheduled a appointment promptly, came out quickly , followed up with a estimate of what needed to be done , thoroughly explained everything I accepted and shortly thereafter called with a appointment for the work to be completed. And all was completed in a reasonable time.everyone was polite , professional and made sure that all my questions and concerns were addressed. Thanks again. Still havent heard back from the other company.

It was frustrating to learn that our A/C and heating units had come to the end of their twenty-five year run (also purchased from an installed by Kern Heating), but it was gr eat to meet Sergio and his helper when they came to install the new units. They were freindly, informative, helpful and very knowledgeable about installation and functioning of the new equipment. Thank you, Kern Heating, for having such reliable employees at the ready for installation of your products!

I appreciate the service I have always received from Kern. Todays service was excellent. I was asked if there was an entrance they could use without coming into the house. They explained what they were doing. When the vent cleaning was done they cam to the front door so we could settle our bill. Once the State of IL is back in service we will have the rest of the ducts cleaned. Thanks for taking great care of us.

Late afternoon on July 3rd, called Kern H&C as my central air was blowing air but not cold air. Kerns technician, Sergio, was sent. He was courteous, pleasant and knowledgeable. He explained what he was going to be looking at. Didnt take him long to find out what the problem was.He then told me what my options were. I was totally impressed by this young man from the minute I meet him. Sergio is an asset to Kern Heating & Cooling. No question, I will use them for all my heating and cooling problems.

We needed to replace the boiler heating system in our older home. After multiple estimates, Kern Heating had the best value for the price.

Brent Snow was excellent rep from Kern He took time to explain the present status of my cooling equipment, things that could be future problems and how clean and well maintained my condenser unit was. He gave approximate prices of parts that may require replacement and cost for a total replacement of my 25 year old unit. He was courteous and thoughtful on how he entered the house and did his work. I was very satisfied with his effort and his ability to let me ask questions.

I was in this business for over 20 years and recently retired and not able to do the work myself due to health issues. Also recently moved north to Zion and wasn’t sure about the companies in the area. After reaching out to some old friends and associates, they recommend Kern Heating and I’m so glad I gave them a call. My furnace was on its last leg, it was old and need to be replaced. I called them on a Tuesday and a representative was here the next day and thoroughly went over everything. Two days later they were here at 8am to start the installation. Very professional and knowledgeable, great job all around. For anyone reading this, I did check on the company and their prices on what I was getting before I said yes and found mostly high reviews. Only downside is that they only sell the Lennox brand which isn’t a bad thing but not many choices. Their prices are comparable if not better than other companies in the area. Again, I’m glad I chose them. Great experience!Thank you Kern!

Very happy with Kern heating. They did excellent work and were very courteous and professional. William and his partner were the best answered any questions we had and informed us on every step of the process. They had their work cut out for them dismantling a 80 year old furnace the size of a Volkswagen and installing a new furnace in its place. I highly recommend them thanks again guys for a job well done.

I would like to thank our technician William. This young man went well and beyond to provide excellent service.  We called, made an appointment, and William came out swiftly to fix our furnace. He took his time and explained every procedure that needed to be done. After completing the service William made sure heat blew out of every vent within the house.  He also made sure to clean up after he finished providing the service. William is a very respectable young man.  Their needs to be more young men like William. William is an asset to your company.  Thank you, William, From the DAYRIES FAMILY!

We have used Kern for AC and furnace maintenance for about 5 years. The technicians and office staff have always been polite, friendly, and efficient. They have extended the life of both our furnace and AC through detailed maintenance, and advice to get minor repairs when needed. They even send a text message with the technician’s picture and name when they are on their way to our house. Today, Dan took care of our furnace maintenance, humidifier filter, and even checked our home’s air quality. Always a good experience!

Review №100

My 22 year old furnace & A/C units died & I went with Kern because I like to patronize local businesses, as I feel you get better service. I was NOT wrong. From the person who did my consultation to the office staff who helped me to the men who did the installation—everything was seamless. There were some unexpected issues the installers faced but they figured it out, staying 11 hours until it was done. Could I have paid less elsewhere? Maybe, but I doubt I would have been taken care of as well as I was. A+++
