WHAT CAUSES AIR DUCT PROBLEMS?

Customers who come to us with duct problems often have issues involving discrepancies in temperature, poor air quality, and high energy bills. Duct issues are typically caused by inadequate insulation, leaks in the system, and airflow imbalances. Our experts will inspect your system to detect the source of the problem and discuss the best solution based on your particular needs.

Poor insulation: Poorly insulated ductwork will develop condensation, which can cause mold growth or rust. Lack of insulation can also result in inefficient heating and cooling and rising energy costs.

Leaks in the ductwork: The typical residential property loses up to a third of indoor air to leaking ductwork. This will put additional strain on your AC and heating system, causing them to work harder in order to maintain desired indoor temperatures–eventually leading to recurring HVAC problems and system failure.

Airflow imbalance: If there are open seams in your duct system, or if your ductwork is poorly sized or was poorly installed, this can cause imbalances in airflow.

AIRFLOW TESTING

Having trouble maintaining consistent indoor temperatures? Are certain rooms in your home not getting enough warm or cool air? Our experts can help you identify the cause of the problem with professional airflow testing. This involves performing a static pressure test to pinpoint the affected area in your duct system. Once we have confirmed the source of the problem, we will go over your options for air duct 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 AC 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.
