Air conditioning installation Chicago

Air conditioning installation Chicago contractor says hey let get real about the installation of your central air conditioning system. Installations of central air conditioning is not brain surgery however the a/c system needs to be installed correctly for it to give you the performance you purchased.

Around The Town Heating and Cooling is not a big outfit like Four seasons, nor would we want to be.

Around The town Heating and Cooling` s claim to fame is simple, one customer at a time. That may sound ridiculous but we need to have satisfied closer to each individual customer and the job they hired us for and trusted us with.

With the changing of refrigerants from HCFC R-22 to 410 A the supposedly ozone friendly refrigerant blend, the installation procedures have changed. Let me explain a few scenarios for you. You have your furnace in the basement and your basement is fully remodeled and your refrigerant lines run from your furnace to the out door unit called the condenser.

With the changing of refrigerants you suppose to change the copper tubing that carries the refrigerant back and forth to the evaporator coil to the condenser unit. How ever your refrigerant copper lines are buried in the walls or ceiling of your beautifully remodeled  basement or your lines are buried in the walls off your condo and your a/c condenser is on the roof, what ever do we do. The manufactures sells a flush kit that suppose to clean the system free of HCFC r-22 so we can install your 410 a ozone friendly refrigerant. If this 410 a refrigerant is ozone friendly then why can`t we vent it to the atmosphere? I query that Question to the manufactures and there has not been a reasonable answer given.

Consumers shopping heating and air conditioning equipment, do yourselves a favor and give Big Ed and company a try. We promise reasonable rates, courteous service and respectful installation procedures.

We`re at your service day and night, we do the job and do it right!  Don`t call the other guys call big Ed instead.

Remember this if nothing else we are here to provide you with Warm winters and Cool summers.

This Heating air conditioning Chicago job takes us on many journeys through out the days and weeks of air conditioning season and There is no other job I would rather do!!

With  the new change overs from freon r-22 to the new ozone friendly refrigerant 410a the cost of change over has risen greatly, there are many new steps in the change over process especial if your refrigerant piping is inside the walls and you live in a high rise building. The two refrigerants r-22 and 410a cannot be mixed, if either refrigerant even slightly mixes with each other the system becomes contaminated and procedures will have to be redone at your expense, do not try to haggle the price of change over because it will only affect the outcome later. I know this because I see it every day. Home owners be aware that the cross over from r-22 refrigerants and 410a can be costly. Go Green. Thanks Government.

Chicago air conditioning, Air conditioner stolen.

Chicagoan`s has your central air conditioning been stolen or parts removed? If so the first thing you should do is report it to your insurance company, and they will tell you if you need to contact the police,all though in Chicago a stolen a/c unit is considered  a low priority to them, so it may be a waste of time or it may at least put the patrolman on alert and they may pay attention for this type of theft.

Does your central air conditioning look like this? missing?

Does your central air conditioning look like this? missing?

This Picture shows 1 central a/c still standing but damaged and the other (condenser unit) central a/c stolen. This has been very common for about 5 years or so, or better yet ever since junior Bush like senior Bush put us in war and unemployed thousands and thousands of people, so thievery is certain peoples way of unemployment.  There are theft deterrent systems for a/c`s it is called the watch dog and they work pretty good.  If a thief wants to steal something  bad enough most theft protection won`t be 100% theft proof but it will help.  Central air conditioning is expensive and should be protected, maintained or tuned up yearly, With the new refrigerant systems comes higher prices so pay attention and call us for your spring a/c tune up today! 312-243-9896 or 708-388-2247 And don`t forget, Don`t call the other guys, Call Big Ed instead!

Air conditioning

Filed under: Allergies, HVAC Contractor, air conditioning system, refrigeration — admin @ 8:32 pm

Air conditioning, What type do you have ? Are you happy with the type of a/c you have? and if not which type would you prefer?  The air conditioning that I prefer is the air conditioner that keeps me cool really cool.

I like it real cool

I like it real cool

Air conditioning to some folks actually makes their allergies act up.  One reason is that the evaporator may need servicing, what kind of servicing? I will tell you when you point your mouse towards this word Help and you can read more about this cause of allergies some people get from air conditioning or you can research our web site or call and talk to Big ED and he would be more than delighted to explain allergies and air conditioning.  Air conditioning services are usually performed by EPA certified licensed contractor machanics our hvac technicians. With the changing of ozone depleting refrigerants and replacing with ozone friendly refrigerants you will see a big change in the hvac business as well how customers are reacting to the new refrigerants. Don`t take my word for it you will see very soon. There is alot to be said about air conditioning however I wish not to bore you no longer! Thanks Big ED

If your a/c unit looks like this it is time to upgrade!

To the residents of Orland Hills does your air conditioner look like this? If so consider upgrading to a new and higher efficient a/c system, and stop over paying Com Ed for all the energy (watts) consumption the old air conditioner use.  You may not realize that in 2010 the new central air conditioning systems no longer will be using HCFC Freon R-22 and will be replaced with 410-A ozone friendly refrigerant or Commonly called puron, all though puron is a manufactures name.

With the energy star efficiencies and the green planet craze, the cost of new central air conditioning with the Go Green refrigerants has increased significantly, however Around The Town Heating and Cooling figured a way to keep the cost increase reasonable and still keep the company operating.  The economy is in bad enough condition without another company going out of business. Orland Hills is a growing community there are now 2 zip codes and the beautification of the streets. The village officials like all other are following the movement of thinking Green!
