Air Conditioning in Chicago, Illinois
Cool Through Hot Summer Months
Stay cool and comfortable with our premium air conditioning systems and
services. We carry the names you trust to beat the toughest heat spell. As
an added bonus, your air conditioning unit will also remove the humidity
from your indoor environment for an added degree of comfort.
Not sure if you should repair or replace? Well, consider this: if you're
operating an inefficient system that breaks down a lot, it's likely that
it's going to break down again. That means more expensive emergency service
calls or possible damage to the other components of your heating and cooling
system.
Also consider the ongoing cost factor. You could save up to 60% on your
energy bills with new high-efficiency equipment. You see, even if your air
conditioner is only a few years old, it could be terribly inefficient by
today's energy efficiency standards. Installing a new, high-efficiency
cooling system can actually pay for itself in energy savings within a
relatively short time.
Cooling
efficiency for your air conditioner is indicated by its
SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) rating,
which tells you how efficiently your unit uses electricity. In general, the
higher the SEER rating, the less electricity your unit will use to cool your
home. The typical SEER rating of units made before 1992 is about 6.0. In
1992, the government established the minimum cooling efficiency standard for
units installed in new homes at 10.0 SEER. High-efficiency units have a SEER
of at least 12.0; the maximum available is about 17.

Quick Tips Before You Call
If it seems as though your central air conditioning system isn't cooling
as well as it should, here are a few things you can do before calling a
Chicago air conditioning contractor.
Obvious things first. When the unit is not working at all, check the circuit
breaker to see if it has flipped off. Then check to see if the thermostat is
operating properly.
Is there a fuse in the unit that has to be replaced? It could be the source
of your problem.
If you hear strange noises coming from the compressor, only an
EPA-certified
technician can help you. Cooling systems are so complicated that
do-it-yourself repairs are not recommended.
When the system seems to be working, but it isn't cooling or isn't cooling
enough, you could be low on refrigerant. Unfortunately, you have to call a
certified service person to add or completely refill the unit.
The Chicago air
conditioning technician may say you need refrigerant, but be sure
to have him find out why. If there is a leak in the system, the air
conditioner will soon be low on coolant again.
