Are HVAC pros on AllBetter licensed?
All pros are identity-verified. Illinois requires HVAC contractors to be licensed for major work. Confirm license/insurance directly in-app before hiring.
What’s an HVAC emergency in Chicago?
No heat in winter, no AC in summer, carbon monoxide risk, or major leaks. Many Chicago pros offer 24/7 emergency service — expect 50–100% higher rates.
How much does emergency HVAC cost?
Emergency calls often add 50–100%. Typical call-out fees $150–$400 plus parts/labor. Post your job for real quotes from local pros.
