Boiler Repair and Maintenance

Boiler heat can provide the most efficient and comfortable heat available. Like all heating systems, keeping your hot water boiler running in top condition requires an annual maintenance tune-up. If your hot water boiler is in need of maintenance or repair, give Midwest Comfort Heating & Cooling a call.

Boiler Maintenance

Call the hot water boiler maintenance technicians at Midwest Comfort Heating & Cooling to schedule an annual hot water boiler tune-up. During the tune-up, our technicians will thoroughly inspect every component of your boiler. Finding hot water boiler issues before they become a bigger problem helps prevent a potentially costly emergency repair right when the heat is needed most. Regular maintenance could also potentially extend the life of your boiler, as well as increase its efficiency.

Common Boiler Problems

Boilers are one of the most efficient and comfortable heating systems on the market. Like any other type of heating system, as they age, they are more prone to breakdowns and the need for repairs. While regular annual tune-ups can go a long way to preventing these repairs, parts do wear out and need to be replaced. Call the Northwest Chicago suburbs boiler repair technicians at Midwest Comfort Heating & Cooling if your boiler needs some work. Here are a few of the most common issues:

Boiler Not Heating Enough

One of the most common problems with a hot water boiler is that it isn’t heating up the home enough. There are several issues that could be causing low or no heat. These can range from the circulating pump going bad to air in the system which prevents the hot water from reaching all of the radiators. For boiler repair, call the friendly technicians at Midwest Comfort Heating & Cooling.

Boiler Making Strange Noises

If your boiler has started to make a strange noise or doesn’t sound like it has normally sounded in the past, it could mean there is air in the system or the circulating pump has stopped working.

Boiler Leaking Water

Hot water boilers work by circulating heated water throughout the heating system pipes and radiators. Any system that relies on water will eventually start to leak. Many water leaks, if caught early can be quickly fixed before becoming a bigger problem or causing water damage. Contact the boiler repair specialists at Midwest Comfort Heating & Cooling at the first sign of a water leak before it can potentially become more severe and possibly more costly of a repair.

How Much Does AC Service Cost?

The cost of your AC repair or installation depends on the layout of your home and the circumstances involved. For that reason, we cannot provide quotes over the phone. But giving us a call is enough will get you scheduled for HVAC service in the Arlington Heights and Elk Grove Village area.

How Long Will My AC Unit Last?

While the lifespan of a new AC unit varies based on make and model, most will last between 10 and 15 years. Some systems, however, can last over 20 years if properly maintained. A lot of this, however, depends on how much you use your air conditioner. That doesn’t mean, however, that you should wait for it to break. Old units are often inefficient and expensive to repair. Being proactive about AC replacement is a great way to save money on your utility bills.

How Do I Know If My Furnace Is Under Warranty?

You'll want to start by finding out when your unit was produced. There's usually a visible production label on the machine—the placement of it varies by brand and model. Once you have that, look up the manufacturer's warranty and see if yours falls within eligible dates. Note that some HVAC companies offer their own no-lemon and installation guarantees that go beyond what the factory offers.

How Often Should I Check My Air Filters?

You'd be amazed how many HVAC problems are caused by someone forgetting to change their air filter. If you use a 1-inch disposable filter, we suggest replacing those monthly. For people with a 4-inch system, two changes a year is often enough.

What Do I Do When My Air Conditioner or Furnace Quits?

If everything else in your home is working fine, it’s time to call Elk Grove Village’s HVAC experts—Midwest Comfort Heating & Cooling. If it’s an emergency, we’ll try our best to schedule service within 24 hours.

What's the Difference Between an Air Conditioner and a Heat Pump?

There's one main difference between these two pieces of cooling equipment. Unlike AC units, which need a furnace to provide year-round customer, heat pumps can both heat and cool a home. Note, however, that they sometimes need to be paired with an electric heater in areas that see temperatures below freezing.

When Should I Have My Furnace or AC Serviced?

In the Elk Grove Village area, we recommend getting your HVAC equipment serviced before the start of each season. In other words, AC maintenance should be done at the beginning of spring while furnace tune-ups are best done in the fall.

What Are EERs and BTUs?

You might hear our HVAC technician use these acronyms and not know what they mean. A BTU—a British Thermal Unit—is a measurement of heat. An Energy Efficiency Resource Standard (EERS), meanwhile, is a guideline used to represent the energy efficiency of an HVAC system.

My Air Conditioning Bills Are High. Is There Something I Can Do?

Aside from replacing your air conditioner with a more efficient one, you can try installing blackout curtains, replacing old insulation, and sealing windows. Installing a whole-house or ceiling fan can also help reduce sticker shock. If you live in the Mount Prospect area, we’re happy to provide a home performance evaluation.

Should I Cover My AC Unit in the Winter?

If you want to avoid leaves and debris inside your AC unit, you can purchase a cover through your brand’s dealer. This is not necessary for heat pumps, however.
