Des Plaines, IL 60018
Company Background
Founded in 1992 by Nick, NJL Heating and Air Conditioning was born from a commitment to integrity in the home services industry. After witnessing pressure to sell unnecessary repairs at a large company, Nick established NJL in Des Plaines to provide honest diagnostics and fair pricing. This principle is the foundation of our work, earning us a loyal local customer base over the decades. While starting in HVAC, we've grown into a comprehensive resource for your home, adding expert plumbing and electrical services. Our technicians are uniquely cross-trained in these disciplines, allowing us to understand and solve complex, interconnected home system issues with a single call. We're your reliable neighbor for everything from furnace maintenance and water heater installation to drain repairs and electrical updates, all delivered with the straightforward, trustworthy service that has defined us since day one.
Frequently Asked Questions
My furnace in Des Plaines isn't draining properly and is shutting off. What's the likely issue?
This is a common problem in our area, often caused by a clogged condensate drain line. Humidity and algae can build up in the line, causing a safety switch to trip and shut down your furnace. At NJL, our HVAC technicians are trained to quickly diagnose this issue. We'll clear the blockage, clean the line to prevent future problems, and ensure your system is operating safely and efficiently, getting your heat back on without unnecessary upsells.
Why does NJL handle both plumbing and HVAC, like water heaters and furnaces?
Many home comfort systems are interconnected. A water heater involves plumbing, gas lines, and sometimes electrical connections. Our technicians are cross-trained in HVAC, plumbing, and electrical work, which allows us to handle the entire job correctly and efficiently. For example, when we install a new water heater, we can manage the plumbing connections, gas line safety checks, and any electrical requirements, ensuring a seamless and code-compliant installation from a single, trusted team.
What should I do if I suspect a carbon monoxide issue with my furnace?
Safety first. If your CO alarm is sounding or you smell gas, leave your Des Plaines home immediately and call 911. For routine safety, we strongly recommend an annual furnace inspection. During our maintenance visit, we perform a thorough combustion analysis, check the heat exchanger for cracks (a common source of CO leaks), and inspect the venting system. This proactive service is a cornerstone of our honest approach, designed to identify and fix potential risks before they become emergencies.
