Our Central AC Installation & Repair Services in Kankakee, IL

In a world of constant advancements in technology, there are now more options than ever for central air conditioning systems for your home. While all central AC systems essentially serve the same purpose of cooling and controlling the air in your home, there are several different types to choose from based on your particular needs and preferences. Here are five popular options for central AC systems for your home:

• Split Systems: Split AC systems consist of an outdoor unit that houses the compressor and condenser and one or multiple indoor units that distribute cool air throughout the home. One benefit of split systems is that they allow for individual temperature control in different rooms or zones.
• Packaged Systems: Rather than having separate outdoor and indoor units like split systems, packaged AC systems have all components housed in one single unit, typically installed on the roof or outside walls of the home. These are good options for smaller homes with limited space for multiple units.
• Ductless Mini-Split Systems: Similar to split systems, ductless mini-splits consist of an outdoor compressor unit connected to individual indoor air handling units. The key difference is that there is no need for ductwork, making them a good option for older homes without existing ducts or for added cooling in specific rooms or areas.
• Geothermal Systems: Rather than using traditional methods of cooling with refrigerant, geothermal systems use underground pipes filled with water or an antifreeze solution to transfer heat from inside the home to the ground (or vice versa for heating). In addition to being highly energy efficient, these systems often have lower maintenance requirements and can potentially result in long-term cost savings.
• Hybrid Systems: These AC systems combine traditional cooling methods with other forms of technology and energy sources, such as solar panels or heat pumps, to optimize efficiency and reduce overall energy usage. While potentially more expensive upfront, they can lead to significant cost savings over time through reduced energy bills.

Some common issues with old or poorly maintained AC units include frozen coils, refrigerant leaks, dirty coils and filters, a broken thermostat, compressor failure, condenser fan malfunction, and restricted airflow.

Frozen coils can occur when the unit is low on refrigerant or when dirty filters restrict airflow, causing the coil to become too cold. Refrigerant leaks can happen due to corrosion in the unit's components or improper installation. Dirty coils and filters can decrease the efficiency of the unit and lead to other problems, such as frozen coils. A broken thermostat can prevent the unit from adequately regulating temperature. Compressor failure can be caused by a lack of maintenance or an excess of wear and tear on older units. A malfunctioning condenser fan can lead to overheating and potential compressor failure. Restricted airflow can be caused by dirty filters or blocked ducts, resulting in decreased efficiency and possible frozen coils.

Proper maintenance, including regular cleaning of filters and checking for potential leaks, can help prevent these issues from occurring in AC units.

DIY repairs on AC units can often result in more harm than good. Many HVAC systems require specific tools and skills to properly repair, and DIYers often lack both of these things. Additionally, attempting DIY repairs can void the unit's warranty and lead to expensive future problems.

Regular AC unit maintenance is vital to prevent potential issues, such as frozen coils or refrigerant leaks. It also helps the unit run more efficiently, saving money on energy bills.

• Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of your AC unit.
• Preventive maintenance can prevent unexpected breakdowns and the need for costly repairs.
• Regular maintenance can improve the energy efficiency of your AC unit, potentially lowering your energy bills.
• Scheduled maintenance can ensure that your AC is properly calibrated and functioning at its optimal level.
• It can also improve indoor air quality by removing any built-up dirt or debris in the unit.
• Booking preventive maintenance can also help you stay on top of any necessary replacements or upgrades, such as refrigerant levels or air filters.

Regular maintenance should be performed by a professional who has the necessary tools to properly inspect and maintain the unit.
