HVAC Services in Crete, IL

We prioritize emergency service calls, especially during extreme weather when heating or cooling failures create urgent situations. We typically respond within a few hours for emergencies in the Crete area. Call (708) 231-4800 any time for emergency HVAC service, and we'll dispatch a technician as quickly as possible.

Yes, we service all major HVAC equipment brands including Rheem, Armstrong, Carrier, Trane, Lennox, York, Goodman, Mitsubishi, and others. Our technicians have training and experience with the most common residential and commercial HVAC equipment, so we can service your system regardless of brand or installer.

We recommend annual professional maintenance for most systems—spring service for air conditioning and fall service for heating equipment. Heat pumps that provide both heating and cooling benefit from service twice per year. Regular professional maintenance prevents most breakdowns and maintains efficiency throughout the equipment's life.

Proper sizing requires calculating your home's specific heating and cooling loads based on square footage, insulation levels, windows, orientation, ceiling height, and other factors. Oversized systems cycle frequently and don't control humidity effectively. Undersized systems run constantly and struggle to maintain comfort. We perform proper load calculations to recommend correctly sized equipment.

High-efficiency HVAC systems cost more initially but provide lower operating costs over their lifespan. In Crete's climate with both hot summers and cold winters, the energy savings can be substantial. We help you evaluate the payback period based on your specific usage patterns and utility rates to make an informed decision.

Yes, we offer comprehensive maintenance programs for residential and commercial customers in Crete. Maintenance contracts include scheduled service, priority emergency response, discounts on repairs, and documented service history. Contracts ensure your equipment receives the regular professional attention needed for reliable operation.

Absolutely. We provide complete indoor air quality solutions including high-efficiency filtration, HEPA systems, UV germicidal lights, whole-home air purifiers, humidifiers, and dehumidifiers. We assess your specific concerns—allergies, asthma, odors, excess humidity, or dry air—and recommend appropriate solutions.

With regular professional maintenance, air conditioners typically last 15-20 years, furnaces 15-20 years, heat pumps 15-18 years, and boilers often 20-25 years. Actual lifespan depends on maintenance quality, usage patterns, and installation quality. Neglected systems fail much earlier, while properly maintained equipment often exceeds expected lifespan.

Yes, we serve Crete businesses with complete commercial HVAC services including rooftop units, commercial refrigeration, cooking equipment service, and preventive maintenance programs. We understand the critical nature of commercial HVAC and respond quickly to minimize business disruption.

First, verify your thermostat is set to cooling mode with the temperature set below current room temperature. Check your circuit breaker to ensure the outdoor unit has power. Replace or clean your air filter. If these basic steps don't solve the problem, call us for professional diagnosis and repair. Continuing to run a non-cooling system can cause additional damage.

Emergency service during off-hours (evenings, weekends, holidays) may include additional charges for rapid response. We provide clear pricing information before beginning work. While emergency service costs more than scheduled service, the rapid comfort restoration and prevention of secondary damage often justify the cost when your heating or cooling has failed.
