Chicago HVAC.  Today’s HVAC systems are more sophisticated now then of old.  Consequently, most of the problems with your system will require a service technician with the new state of the art diagnostics training.

Nate, (North American Training Excellence) aids in the higher learning of new and old hvac systems to our service technicians and installers. Chicago Hvac, Air conditioning,  Boilers, Electronic air cleaners, humidifiers, furnaces, thermostats and uv lights company can preserve the efficiency of your hvac system in Chicago by performing basic tune ups and maintenance.  Maintenance agreements are readily available to you just by calling 312-243-9896.

On to a new subject, lets talk about the ratings of a company, and who governs if the company is reputable or not?

Chicago hvac market is a tough market to compete in, prices are either to high or to low and the consumer thinks their getting jacked. Or your not a big enough company, or your not a member of the BBB or as we call it Bad business bureau, boy some of the companies listed with the BBB with a five star rating have changed their name of their business 5,6,7? times or have been sued many times in court and still have a five star rating, go figure”. The BBB has contacted our company on many occasions asking us to be a member. Just give them some money every year and you too can have a five star rating, they have us listed as a B-company because they have insufficient information to determine how long we been operating, and do not have sufficient background information on this business. My thought is: if the BBB can’t find us in Illinois then how does that go to the creditability of their establishment?

Here’s another establishment that has my crawl, Angie’s list. They to, will allow Around The Town Heating and Cooling to place an ad with them for about $500.00 a month, this will buy us a rep.  Seems to me that money can buy any company a reputation. Homes owners can also pay Angie’s list about $60.oo or so a year to find a reputable company, “come on consumers wake up” Again money in the skilled trade sector puts you on top.

Today 2010, the consumer with the free aid of the internet can find any information about any type of company they wish too. Save your money consumers towards your repair or installation of your hvac system in and around the Chicago land area and stop giving it to these rating companies. Go with the information you find and then go with your gut. Call 312-243-9896 or 708-388-2247.

Furnace repair contractor Chicago 1-8-2010 The snow has come and gone for the moment. The frigid temperatures according to the newscasters are to follow in the next couple of days. One of the most common problems we see with furnaces and boilers during the snow and then the frigid cold is the flue pipe freezing up.

The flue pipe rarely freezes completely, but what does happen is that the moisture that is created from the warm flue gases hitting the cold outside temperature`s creates condensation in the flue pipe then drains back down to the furnace or boiler causing pressure switch problems as well as an abundance of water backing up in the inducer motor which causes flash codes of three blinks, most manufactures use the same codes. Sometimes the water in the inducer motor also has to do with improper drain line installations as well as clogged drains from the secondary heat exchanger on high efficient furnaces or boilers.

Another problem with high snow and frigid weather is the PVC flue pipe that exits the side of your structure or home,on occasions when the PVC pipe was not raised 2 feet above ground level, snow drifts can block the Pvc flue pipe causing  pressure switch problems as well. You can`t stop Mother Nature but you can be aware of issues due to Mother Nature concerning your high efficient furnace.

Another problem we see when the weather is snowy and rigidly cold is gas meter regulators that clog up and decrease the flow of natural gas supplied to your structure or home. This is not real common but we see this problem 4 or 5 times a year and usually peoples gas or nicor gas takes care or the problem if our service technicians cannot. We can only clear snow or ice away from the regulator and clean the venting screen otherwise the gas meter belongs to the gas companies and they must do all the other repairs beyond our control.

In closing if you are having flash codes of three on your furnace look at the obvious problems mentioned above before condemning the furnace. It can be confusing, but correctable.

One other problem that can cause pressure switch problems besides a defective pressure switch is a crack or cracks in the heat exchanger, we will leave that for a different blog.

In closing We from Around The Town Heating say have a safe and prosperous New year and pay attention to the obvious first by Calling Around The Town Heating and Cooling for all your HVAC needs. 312-243-9896 or 708-388-2247 Thanks Big Ed!
