Licensed HVAC Services in Gillespie, IL 62033 - Mahkovtz Heating & Air Conditioning

Common signs in our area include reduced cooling power, longer run times, ice forming on the refrigerant lines or evaporator coil, and a noticeable hissing sound from the unit. If your energy bills are climbing while comfort decreases, a leak is a likely culprit. Our technicians use specialized tools to locate and seal leaks, then recharge your system to manufacturer specifications.

Regular maintenance is key to efficiency. We clean coils, check refrigerant levels, ensure proper airflow, and calibrate thermostats. For Gillespie homes, this prevents minor issues like dirty filters or small leaks from forcing your system to work harder, which directly consumes more energy. A well-tuned system runs smoothly and costs less to operate throughout our Illinois seasons.

Simply adding refrigerant is rarely a fix. Refrigerant doesn't get 'used up'; a low level indicates a leak that must be found and repaired. Adding refrigerant without fixing the leak is temporary, bad for the environment, and will lead to the same problem—and higher bills—soon. We diagnose the root cause to provide a lasting, efficient solution for your Gillespie home.
