Owner & Technician
Igor Talmazan
Founder · Illinois-Licensed HVAC Contractor · EPA 608 Universal
My name is Igor Talmazan, and I founded Airwave Heating and Cooling to offer McHenry County homeowners something the big HVAC companies stopped providing a long time ago — a real conversation with the person actually doing the work.
I've spent years diagnosing everything from a failed furnace igniter on a January night to a refrigerant leak that had been misdiagnosed twice before. I started Airwave because I was tired of watching customers get oversold on equipment they didn't need and underserved by companies that sent a different technician every time.
When you call Airwave, you reach me directly — not a call center. I show up personally. You'll know who's coming, when they're arriving, and exactly what the repair will cost before I touch anything. If a $200 repair fixes the problem, that's what I'll recommend — not a $6,000 replacement you don't need.

Why Airwave
What's Different
Not a franchise. Not a call center. Every one of these is a real operational commitment, not a marketing line.
-
You talk to the technician directly
No call center, no dispatcher, no callback queue. When you call (773) 849-7379, you reach the licensed technician — the same person who will show up at your home.
-
Written estimate before any work begins
Itemized, in writing, before a single tool is picked up. No hidden fees, no "we'll figure it out after" — you approve every line item first.
-
No commission on equipment
Airwave earns nothing on system sales. That removes the financial incentive to push replacement when repair is the right answer — and the recommendation reflects that.
-
Same-day service · 24/7 emergency response
Standard calls are typically same-day. Furnace failures in January and AC failures during heat advisories don't wait for business hours — neither do we.
-
Combustion analysis on every furnace call
Carbon monoxide testing and heat exchanger inspection are included at no extra charge on every furnace service call — the safety check that most contractors skip or bill separately.
-
Workmanship warranty on all repairs
If something Airwave fixed fails, we come back and make it right. No exceptions, no fine print.
