Q&A
My AC is running but not cooling, and I see ice on the unit. What should I do before calling?
This is a common issue often caused by a frozen evaporator coil. First, check and replace your air filter if it's dirty. Then, switch your thermostat from 'cool' to 'off' and set the fan from 'auto' to 'on' to help defrost the coil. Wait 6-12 hours. To prevent re-freezing, set the thermostat to just 3 degrees below the current room temperature and let the system cycle off normally. If the problem repeats, give us a call for a professional diagnosis.
As a Chicago homeowner, what are the most common HVAC emergencies you see?
In our climate, two frequent issues are clogged condensate drain lines and AC compressor failure. Summer humidity causes drain lines to trap algae and mold, leading to water leaks and system shut-offs. Our hot spells can also push older compressors to fail. During our 24/7 emergency calls, we quickly clear drain lines and assess compressor health, often performing repairs on the spot to restore your comfort and prevent water damage to your home.
Do you offer emergency service for heating problems in the winter?
Yes, absolutely. We provide 24/7 emergency service for all your residential heating and air conditioning needs. Chicago winters demand a reliable furnace, and we understand a breakdown is urgent. Our family-owned team is available around the clock to diagnose and repair heating issues, ensuring your home stays warm and safe during cold snaps.
