save without being scammed| oak forest, addison, westmont
Saturday, March 26th, 2011nearly every channel clearing buisness in the industry, along with the higher quality business bureau and countless news broadcasting buisnesses, has tried to warn consumers about the deceptive tactics that illegitimate channel clearing buisnesses use to make a quick buck. however, this multimillion dollar con is still claiming victims across our country and in the great city of chicago.
a popular lie
their most well known scam involves attracting customers with an impossibly low price. they will then raise the price at the time of service through the cost of add-ons that the customer doesn’t really need. although the consumer thought they were getting their air ducts cleaned for $69, in the end, they pay hundreds and maybe even thousands of their hard earned dollars on poorly performed services.

digital vs dial thermostats | joliet, oak forest, elmwood park
Wednesday, March 2nd, 2011there has long been a battle between digital and dial thermostats in the heating, ventalation, and air conditioning industry, and as a property owner, you may have trouble sifting through all of the information when trying to decide which thermostat is best for your house. four seasons heating and air conditioning wants to help you with your decision by offering our expert take on the pros and cons of each type of thermostat. depending on your house and your situation, you may choose one over the other, and no matter which one you choose, four seasons can setup it for you!
dial thermostats:
- simple operation: setting the temperature that you desire is literally as easy as spinning a dial.
- inaccurate temperature control: old dial thermostats tend to be inaccurate when it comes to getting your house to the temperature that you desire. these thermostats typically use metallic strips to sense the temperature in the house and either turn on or turn off the heating or cooling. the problem is that these strips can sometimes allow the actual temperature in the house to become 4 or 5 degrees below or above the set temperature before turning the systems on or off. this leads to decreased levels of comfort in between cycles.
- few bells and whistles: if you are considering this type of thermostat for your house, you are not looking for one that has special features. these units are usually very basic, but if that is what you are comfortable with then a dial thermostat may be the right choice for your house.
digital thermostats:
- programmable settings: the most coveted feature in digital thermostats is the ability to program different temperatures for different times of the day. with this feature you can cut power waste for times when you are away from the house or asleep. it will adjust the temperature automatically so that savings are guaranteed. some even have the ability to set a different program for each day of the week. this could really come in handy for those of us that have very busy schedules.
- accurate temperature control: digital thermostats allow for precise temperature control in the house. setting the temperature differential to 1 degree will ensure that the thermostat calls for heating or cooling within one degree of the set temperature. this basically means that during the warm seasons when you set the thermostat at 72 degrees, the second the temperature in the house reads 73 degrees, the cooling system will turn on. that is precise temperature control that you can rely on to keep you comfortable all year round.
- operation: operating a digital thermostat can be just as simple as operating a dial thermostat. the only aspect of using these systems that may be a bit more difficult is setting the initial program. however, when you have your thermostat installed by four seasons, you will have one of our expert servicemen there to walk you through the programming and general operation of your new digital thermostat. we won’t leave until you are confident in your ability to operate the new thermostat with ease.
no matter which thermostat you choose, four seasons can help you get it installed day or night. you can count on us when you need us most, so keep our number close as we move into a new season here in chicago.

more channel clearing scam prevention tips| oak forest, evanston, berwyn
Monday, December 27th, 2010- look for the fine print: many illegitimate channel clearing buisnesses will hide clauses in their contracts that allow them to change their pricing whenever they so choose.
- verify pricing: ask and ask again about the price of the application being performed. make sure that the price you are being quoted is the price you will pay.
- get it in writing: if the channel clearing buisness you choose is making you promises, get them in writing! in the event that there is a problem, you will have the necessary paperwork to protect yourself.
- get a second opinion: if a channel clearing buisness tells you that there is mould present in the house, do not sign any paperwork and get a second opinion. scam artists in this industry like to convince property owners that there is mould in the house in order to drive up the price of the services.
- file a complaint: if you have been taken advantage of by a channel clearing buisness, do not hesitate to file a complaint with your city and with the bbb. you may not be able to get your money back, but at least you will be able to prevent others from falling victim to the same scam.
the toxic mould scam
if you haven’t guessed it already, another channel clearing scam has been uncovered, and this time they are using scare tactics to fool customers into buying services that they do not need. how do they do this? they convince the property owners that there is mould increase present in the house when there really isn’t. the scam usually begins with a ridiculously low price in the local newspaper. once the technicians arrive, they perform a few checks and “test” for mould.
