How to Fix an AC That's Not Cooling in Chicago

If your AC isn't cooling your Chicago home properly, several issues could be the cause. Here's what our experts check:

Dirty Air Filters

Clogged filters restrict airflow, reducing cooling efficiency. We recommend changing filters monthly during peak cooling season.

Refrigerant Leaks

Low refrigerant levels prevent proper cooling. Our technicians can locate and repair leaks, then recharge your system to manufacturer specifications.

Frozen Evaporator Coils

Ice buildup on coils stops cooling. We identify the cause (restricted airflow, low refrigerant, or blower issues) and fix it properly.

Compressor Problems

A faulty compressor can't circulate refrigerant effectively. We diagnose compressor issues and determine whether repair or replacement is most cost-effective.

Thermostat Issues

Incorrect settings or malfunctioning thermostats prevent proper cooling. We test and recalibrate or replace thermostats as needed.

Dirty Condenser Coils

Outdoor units need regular cleaning to dissipate heat effectively. We clean condenser coils to restore full cooling capacity.

Ductwork Leaks

Leaking ducts waste cooled air before it reaches your rooms. We inspect and seal ductwork to improve cooling efficiency.
