Air conditioning

This Spring 2010,  we already started  receiving air conditioning calls from River North High rises as well as South Loop and West Loop for air conditioning service and repair Chicago , these calls were from people that already had to turned on their air conditioners today 3-19-2010. It blew warm air. Welcome, summer!

After this long Chicago winter, Residents of River North, South Loop and West Loop should consider the preparation for a warm summer  ahead, in preparation for the long warm summer, besides your summer apparel, and and pulling your summer car out, your air conditioning system should be the next on your list.

When the temperatures heat the 70’s and 80’s degree mark with humidity levels to match. A reliable air-conditioning system makes your home an oasis of relief, and a broken a/c  means misery,or, in extreme cases, death. Remember the Chicago heat wave of 1995.

Fortunately, there are plenty of air conditioning and heating service companies across the Chicago land area that can be there for you with a simple call 312-243-9896, however like the summer of 1995 or the summer of 2004 or even last summer.  If you like central air conditioning be prepared!

On repair jobs,  a consumer should call and describe the symptoms whether it be air conditioning or heating,  Our company service man should be able to tell you over the phone what’s likely to be wrong and give you a approximate price of repair, assuming a correct symptom is given. If we can’t  give you a preliminary diagnosis and estimate over the phone, you’ll have to schedule a service call. ( Our girls in the office will not give that information, they will have a service mechanic call you, if none are in the shop).

I found this next statement in a article, The lady in the article say’s this”If the first company that comes to your home gives you an estimate that is a few hundred dollars or less, it usually makes sense to have them go ahead with the work—it saves the time of having others come to your home, as well as paying the minimum service charge for the visits. But before paying, get a detailed invoice, including a description of the symptoms before the repair, a list of all labor charges and parts replaced, and a written warranty”. Our take on that article is,  repairs on air conditioning and heating systems have a wide berth and price ranges can be from Click Here

Every company whether it be HVAC or Plumbing, landscaping to window washing, all have different price ranges due to the size and overhead of that said company. That’s why a reputable company like Around The Town Heating and Cooling have no problem giving you approximate pricing over the phone, however it’s not fair to us, because a consumer can say to another hvac company  ” around the town heating said it would cost this much” and that is a dilemma we see in pricing over the phone, but we still do it anyways, we have nothing to hide or lose because “you the consumer” is calling around for pricing and you should exercise that right. We encourage it.

Shopping air conditioning and heating is always good pre – season due to the large array of sales HVAC companies are offering. For example we have central air conditioning r-22 systems available to you for great pricing like a complete new air conditioning  system installed for the great price of $2400.00. WOW air conditioning $2400.00. Ending my little note to you the home owners of Chicago, remember summer and heat will be here sooner than you think, be prepared call Around The Town Air conditioning today at 312-243-9896 or 773-809-4103 and the burbs at 708-388-2247. Thanks, ED.

Air conditioning Chicago

Air conditioning Chicago

Means hard sell, hard work and too many incompetent and unlicensed heating and air conditioning guys out there.
Homeowners in Chicago and in general should consider looking beyond the cheap price tag of a sale and look into the crystal ball for the future. I ask a common question when I’m on a sales call for air conditioning, boilers or furnaces. The question is this, how long do you plan on staying in your home? The majority of answers come back as probably not long we hope.

I know a lot of those answers are to get a cheap price( I don’t bite) If I had a quarter for all the people that had told me this I would be rich and I would not be writing this blog.

I have had people call me for service work after I had given them a bid for a New HVAC System of some type and did not get the job because my bid was not cheap enough and wouldn’t you know it 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 and so on years later they are still in the very same home and the contractor that installed the equipment was nowhere to be found. And here I am like an idiot repairing the system I lost a bid on, “Blind justice wouldn’t you say?

My point is that cheap, even today is not always the best choice. I’m not saying that you should take our companies bid every time (although it would be nice) what I am saying is look at the bigger picture besides how low in price can you can you go. When you buy cheap you always get what you paid for! You never know what life will bring to you so never assume anything, but always hope for the best.

Central air conditioning sales has already begun this spring of 2010. When you call a contractor out for an estimate you might try asking them how long they have been in business, and then ask them to verify their answer when they come on the sales call with a document or 2. Legit companies will provide the doc or 2. Or you can look them up on this link at; http://www.cyberdriveillinois.com/departments/business_services/corp.html or the Cook county office at 69 West Washington Phone 312-603-0500, or the City of Chicago DCS 312.744.4006 contractor verifications. While I was typing this blog I found this info from cbs2chicago.Tips For Choosing a Home Repair Contractor – cbs2chicago.com

I am amazed of the amount of information that is on the web and a consumer should never get ripped as long as they do a little research. In closing, central air conditioning Chicago season starts in a few week or so, especially for high rise tenants and their air conditioning. High rise tenants start using their air conditioning systems earlier than single family home dwellers. Due to the amount of heat that gathers in these high rise building. Start thinking a/c and a new purchase or just a simple air conditioning tune up, be the early bird that gets the worm! Call today to schedule your appointment! 312-243-9896 or 773-809-4103 or in the suburbs call 708-388-2247. Big Ed

Spring air conditioning maintenance Chicago

Start Saving Money!

Many Chicago and local residents do not realize their home heating and air conditioning system operates approximately 3,000 hours per year. To put this “run time” in perspective, a car driven for the same 3,000 hours at 65 miles per hour would travel 195′000 miles.

No one would consider such a journey without arranging for oil changes, lubrication, and routine tune-ups and tire rotation along the way to assure the efficiency, safety and reliability of the vehicle.

Your home air conditioning and heating system works many more hours than your car, and, like your car, needs routine tune-ups to operate in an efficient, safe, and reliable manner.

That’s right you heard me say alleged” do you want an explanation? I’ll give you one, If the 410-a refrigerant systems or better known as Puron are ozone friendly then why can’t we hvac contractors vent this ozone friendly refrigerant into the atmosphere?
