Q&A
What should I do if my Chicago home's energy bills are suddenly very high?
In Chicago's climate, a sudden spike in energy bills often points to an inefficient HVAC system working harder than it should. Common local causes include aging equipment, dirty filters, or duct leaks. Chavez Heating and Cooling can perform a comprehensive efficiency check, inspecting your furnace, air conditioner, and ductwork. We'll identify the specific issue—whether it's a component needing repair or an old system that's simply costing too much to run—and provide clear options to improve your home's efficiency and lower your monthly costs.
My water heater is leaking. Do you handle repairs, or is a full replacement usually needed?
We handle both water heater repair and installation. For a leak, the necessary action depends on the leak's location and the unit's age. Many issues, like a faulty pressure relief valve or inlet connection, can be repaired efficiently. However, if the tank itself is corroded or the unit is over 10-15 years old, a replacement is often the more reliable and cost-effective long-term solution. We'll assess the situation, explain your options, and provide a straightforward recommendation for your home's hot water needs.
How often should I have my furnace and AC serviced in Chicago?
For reliable performance through our distinct seasons, we recommend servicing your furnace in the fall and your air conditioning system in the spring. This proactive maintenance helps catch minor issues before they become major repairs, ensures systems are running safely and efficiently, and can extend the lifespan of your equipment. Our tune-up includes cleaning, inspection, and testing of key components to prepare your system for the heavy workload of a Chicago summer or winter.
