The beauty of radiant heating is that the BTU's created by your heat system is evenly distributed across the plane of your floor. The heat is always where you need it, from the feet and upwards for maximum efficiency and comfort. It is the quietest method to heat up a space since there is no forced air movement, baseboards or radiators that sometimes make their share of unwanted noise.
As residents of Chicago and surroundings, we are in love with the city and take pride in living in a here where the climate grazes the extremes of temperatures. Even though we enjoy the city, the shoveling, salting, plowing snow can't be avoided. This is where snow & ice melting comes more than handy.

We recently moved to Rogers Park and are lucky to have such company serving this and the surrounding areas. They have helped me install a water heater, HVAC/AC repair and periodic maintenance. Boris is extremely responsive and always reserves a day during the week for emergencies. In summary, they are very honest, responsive, professional and friendly. I highly recommend them--Last but not least, their fees are reasonable and fair!

Professional, polite and practical! They assessed my AC Unit was working to specifications and gave me a few things to look out for going forward. Excellent pricing compared to some of the 'big guys' in the space. I will ONLY use these guys for all HVAC going forward. A+++++

Excellent experience with Boris and his crew installing SpacePak in my 100+ year old home. From the beginning, they were very responsive and knowledgeable. Once selected, Boris was in constant communication with me about scheduling and what to expect. The work was done on time and at a competitive price. I also appreciated how much work the crew put into keeping the house clean throughout. After installation, Boris diagnosed a small issue that would not have manifested itself for at least a few years and spent some extra time here making sure it was addressed. Very impressive and highly recommended

Boris came in the middle of the night and fixed our heater in the freezing cold. It’s now working better than ever! We called many companies and he was the only prompt response we had. Additionally, he had great rates for emergency services!

Boris and his team were great to work with. They helped us integrate our old hVAC system with a new one to accommodate an addition on our home. Their bid was reasonable, the work was impeccable and they were very responsive from start to finish. Highly recommend, 5 stars!

I met Boris when he was working on the property next door. Turns out he had installed the Space Pak in my 120 yr old farmhouse a year prior to when I purchased the property.
Fast forward a year later when there was a sudden gas leak coming from the 30 year old boiler. After 2 contractors came out from my home warranty company and couldn't address the issue or the leak.... I called Boris. He was able to locate the issues within the boiler and installed essentially all new components in the unit at a fair price. It's now running like new, just in time for the chilly fall weather to hit

Called Next Step because we were looking for an air conditioner that was quiet so it didn't disturb our neighbors. The estimate was inline or lower than our unusual provider and they arranged for us to view the unit at their distributor to conduct a sound test to assure that the unit wouldn't disturb our neighbors. NS arrived on time installed the unit, they had to come back and they did and competed the job cleaned up the workspace. At no time were we were out service.

Boris recently fixed a stubborn problem with my furnace that I had been trying to figure out myself. He got it fixed in no time at all and I had heat again! I will call him immediately next time instead of messing with it myself.

Our HVAC just stopped working. We called this company for the first time and they scheduled their visit right away. Arrived on time and within 15 mins they diagnosed the problem, let us know what it would cost, and ordered the part needed for it. They came back and made the repair. We rarely get great customer service, professionalism, and great price all from one place. I highly recommend them!

Our office AC broke down, and after couple attempts with other HVAC service providers, we just couldnt solve the problem permanently, and the AC kept breaking down. Then we found out about Boris, and he was able to diagnose the correct cause and fix the root of the problem, and it has been 3 months since, we have absolutely no problems with the AC anymore. I recommend Boris and his team for all your HVAC issues, no matter how impossible they seem!

These guys are great, I always refer them to friends whenever they need HVAC help. I have them work on my office space, my rental property as well as my own house.

They have fair competitive pricing and do a quality job you can depend on for years to come!

They work on both newer and older units and will give you honest input on the life you may have left in your existing unit vs just having someone tell you buy a new unit even if you can get a few more years out of the old one.

Honesty and good work are hard to come by in this line of work, but these guys go above and beyond.

Very personable

My air conditioner broke down on the hottest day this year, so I called for an estimate. Even though it was late and Boris was done working he stopped in to see what the problem was. Boris was very professional and was able to diagnose the problem immediately. He is very fair with pricing and did an outstanding job. I would definitely recommend this company
