Franks Heating & AC | Trusted HVAC Repair in Niles, IL

Yes, frozen HVAC components are a frequent issue in our area, often caused by dirty air filters, low refrigerant, or airflow problems. It's important to turn the system off to let it thaw and call us for a professional diagnosis. We'll check for refrigerant leaks, clean the coils, and ensure proper airflow to prevent future freezing and restore efficient cooling.

Our preventative maintenance service is key for Niles homeowners. During a tune-up, we meticulously check your system's refrigerant pressure and inspect all lines and connections for early signs of wear or corrosion, which are common culprits for leaks. Catching a small issue early during maintenance can prevent a major leak, saving you money on repairs and keeping your system running at peak efficiency.

For older systems in Niles with refrigerant leaks, a replacement is often the more cost-effective and reliable long-term solution. Many older units use R-22 refrigerant, which is no longer manufactured and is very expensive. We can assess your system's age and condition and provide a clear comparison. Installing a new, energy-efficient system not only solves the leak issue but also significantly lowers your energy bills and improves home comfort.
