Despite the nature of the call, I actually enjoy dealing with their customer service - friendly, efficient and flexible - and Lucas is a skilled technician.

I’m so happy with the way everything turned out. I could tell my 35 years old furnace needed to be replaced… just not this soon 🥺🥶, lucky for me, Cahill is just down the street. I called that “alphabet” company with the fancy commercials but all they cared about was selling me a new unit. They didn’t even inspect the unit before telling me it needed to be replaced and then did a lot of double talk and gave me two very high quotes… I felt like I was buying a used car.When the service tech from Cahill called me back the same day and said he was on his way I was so happy. When the tech arrived, he put booties on his shoes before he came into the house. He spent more time inspecting the unit and even got it started unlike the “alphabet” company and then he showed me exactly why the furnace needed to be replaced.The next day, Tim came out and gave me a reasonable quote for the work and said they could install it this week. No games, no gimmicks just an honest transaction.The furnace was installed the next day and I’m so pleased with the performance. For the first time since moving in 13 years ago, the house is evenly warm throughout. Everyone I dealt with was friendly, knowledgeable, and professional.

Cahill has the staff and the expertise to resolve complicated and mission-critical plumbing and heating issues. When its time to bring out the big guns, weve relied on Cahill for many years.

Hire them if you want the best. Their service has been great. All their plumbers are top notch. They show up when they say and leave the site fixed and in ship shape.Theyre especially great for vintage buildings having fixed waste stacks and pin hole supply leaks in the wall in mine.Anyone whos lived in such places knows how tricky things can be. But their experience shows. All work was done well and done quickly.Only reason for a four star rating is their hourly rate is steep. I understand, you get what you pay for and they are a skilled trade. However, Im a tax accountant and dont bill as much.

Both technicians Rich & Jason were great!Professional, patient, informative and thorough. Although we never met Scott, he was funny & helpful. He gave us a few options and instructs over the phone during a snowstorm that brought clarity & calmed our worries abt the leak. Great company!

Great service from the servicemen. Had a plumbing job that another company refused to do because they didnt know what to do. Cahills men didnt even flinch and finished the joj quickly and perfectly. Taking off 1 star because initially it was hard to get them scheduled.

Had Cahill come to our house with what we thought was a broken pipe involving our sump pump. The plumber they sent figured out the problem was an obstruction in the pipe to the street sewage system; tree roots. Took care of the problem quickly and suggested a company to assist us in the clean up and sanitizing of the affected area. Id definitely use them again.

Thank for the efficient service getting my furnace up and running before the cold spell.

Excellent company but the rates they charge residential customers are too high. If you need a faucet changed or other relatively simple jobs like toilet replacement, go find another plumber or be prepared to drain your bank account. Too many good plumbers are charging sky high rates with Cahill leading the pack. That said, I use them regularly for other complex tasks which justifies their high rate.

Had Cahill come out to look at the air conditioning unit at out condo. Another company in Evanston had previously looked at it and told us we needed to replace the compressor to the tune of $3k! Cahills repair technician actually spent the 2 minutes to figure out what was REALLY wrong which amounted to a faulty $45 part. Within 15 min we had cold air. Very happy with the service.

Used them a few years ago. They are spectacular! Extremely professional and respectful. The only “down” side is that good service certainly costs more. However, the price is transparent and should not be the reason for those one-star reviews!
