- Their East Peoria furnace-repair page dates the business to 1981, advertises 24-hour heating repair and states a 100-percent satisfaction guarantee. The promise is general rather than a stated parts-and-labor period. (fritchheating.com, checked November 8, 2026)

Questions about HVAC in Peoria
Which Peoria options advertise emergency HVAC help?
All five have an explicit 24-hour or 24/7 emergency-service statement in their own website or manufacturer record. A round-the-clock statement does not promise a particular arrival time; the office must confirm dispatch and charges for the address.
Where can a homeowner compare Trane, Lennox and Amana estimates?
The manufacturer records identify Meister for Trane and Fritch for Lennox. Griffin states an Amana affiliation on its homepage; that last affiliation was not independently confirmed by the manufacturer.
Which options list boiler or geothermal work?
Fritch lists boilers and heat pumps on its homepage. Montefusco lists boiler repair and replacement, heat pumps and geothermal system service on its Peoria page. The specific equipment model and repair scope still need to be agreed with the contractor.
Does a higher total prove better workmanship?
No. The Home Pros Insider total measures the amount and specificity of public evidence, not workmanship. An unknown Google score or unpublished coverage earns no evidence points but does not establish poor service.
How these companies were chosen and ranked
Home Pros Insider compared five businesses offering HVAC service in Peoria, using their own service pages, actual Google Maps profiles and independent directories or manufacturer records checked November 8, 2026. Local offices and firms that explicitly serve the city were eligible. The 30-point total measures published evidence, not workmanship, price or the outcome of a service visit. No phone calls or on-site tests were performed.
Each of six categories earns 0-5 points. Contact earns 5 when address and phone agree across the website, actual Google profile and an independent directory; 3 for agreement across two sources; 1 for the website alone; 0 for missing or unresolved conflicting details. Google feedback uses the paired score and count: 4.7/100 earns 5; 4.5/50 earns 4; 4.0/25 earns 3; 4.0/10 earns 2; another measured pair earns 1. Both thresholds must be met. The Google figures were read directly from actual Maps profiles on the date checked, not copied from website counters.
A documented start year through 1999 earns 5; 2000-2009 earns 4; 2010-2019 earns 3; 2020-2024 earns 2; 2025 onward earns 1. Vague experience claims are not converted into founding years. Written protection earns 5 for explicit parts and labor duration and scope, 3 for one concrete duration and scope or a specific money-back remedy, 1 for a general written promise. Conditional maximum terms count as options only, not automatic coverage. Emergency availability earns 5 for explicit 24-hour service, 3 for after-hours or weekend emergency service without that promise, 1 for normal hours only. Qualifications earn 5 for a confirming issuer record, 3 for a named self-published qualification, 1 for a generic license or insurance statement.
Missing evidence earns 0 and means unmeasured, not that a service or qualification is absent. Tied totals are resolved by contact, Google feedback, written protection, availability, start-year and qualification points, then alphabetically. Client status is not a scoring input. Different published phone numbers remain unresolved unless a source establishes their relationship; zero contact points do not mean a number is disconnected.
- Six-category breakdown, in the order described above:
- Entry 1: 5 / 5 / 5 / 1 / 5 / 5 = 26/30.
- Entry 2: 5 / 5 / 5 / 0 / 5 / 3 = 23/30.
- Entry 3: 5 / 5 / 5 / 0 / 5 / 3 = 23/30.
- Entry 4: 5 / 4 / 5 / 3 / 5 / 0 = 22/30.
- Entry 5: 0 / 4 / 5 / 1 / 5 / 5 = 20/30.
Every company was scored on the same criteria (listed here); the order follows the scores. Full rules: methodology.
