What can I do before calling someone to service my system?
Professional service calls can be costly, but there are some things you can do before hiring a professional to inspect your system:
- Disconnect your indoor and outdoor switches.
- Make sure your circuit breakers are in the ON position.
- Make sure your filters are clean.
- Open supply and return vents and make sure they are unobstructed.
- Double check both indoor and outdoor disconnect switches.
- Check the settings on your thermostat.
- Make sure the system switch is on the appropriate COOL or HEAT setting.
- Have the FAN switch on auto.
- If nothing works CALL US at (773) 322 - 9193
How can I find the system thats right for me?
Replacing a unit that is greater than 7 years old may reduce natural gas or electricity costs from 30 to 50%. The size and age of your home, number of rooms in your home, climate, locale, regional utility costs, degree days and utility incentive rebate programs are all factors to be considered when selecting a new system. HVAC brand dealers, utilizing the latest technology, will discuss all of these factors with you when assisting you in choosing the best system for your home. Consumers seeking to replace an existing system often choose a new unit with equal or higher efficiency ratings as compared to their previous system.
Contacting an HVAC brand dealer can help you to define your initial cost, warranty protection, service options, maintenance options and operating cost. We reccomend brand like Rheem, American Standart and Trane (see Consumer Report)
