Now that the snow has finally arrived, many of us are probably realizing that we didn’t miss it as much as we thought. Though this is only the first real snow storm of the season, there are bound to be more and with the snow comes ice and icicles. At Four Seasons, our biggest concern is what will happen when ice and snow buildup on power lines to the point that they collapse under the weight. This can leave entire neighborhoods without power for days, and in Chicago, even a few hours without heat in the home can become unbearable. It is because of this fact that there has never been a better time to consider having Four Seasons install an automatic generator in your home.
4 Reasons to Install a Generator from Four Seasons
- Restores Power Instantly: Automatic generators are wired directly into the power supply of the home. The unit is able to sense when power is cut off from the grid and will turn on automatically. The transition is so seamless that you may not even notice the power outage!
- Power as Much or as Little as You Want: Automatic generators can be customized to fit nearly any budget. You don’t have to power the entire home in order to purchase one of these systems. Power just the furnace and sump pump or power the entire home. It is your call, and Four Seasons will help make it as affordable as possible. (more…)

From time to time Four Seasons likes to clear out space in our warehouse for new inventory and as a result we are forced to offer our current Lennox systems at extremely affordable prices.

This year think new year, new furnace! Get rid of that old energy inefficient system and get a new, high efficiency system from Four Seasons!

Boilers have a very long lifetime especially when they are cared for properly. At Four Seasons, we have seen old boilers last 20, 30 and even 40 years before breaking down to the point that they need to be replaced. So, how old is your boiler? Is your boiler still the original unit that was there when you moved into your home? If so, you can save money and energy by replacing that old system with a new high efficiency boiler from Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning.
Overpaying Every Month
You run into two problems when you allow an old outdated boiler to run in your home. The first problem is the cost. The older the boiler the odds are the less energy efficient it will be. Some older boilers waste as much as 50% of the natural gas they consume during the combustion process. That adds up to a hefty cost every month on your utility bills and for most of us, overpaying every month by 50% is simply not an option! (more…)

Winter is plagued by fierce storms in the Chicagoland area. For many, this means that the electrical supply to the home is not guaranteed. One strong gust and suddenly the home is without power. You and your family are then left at the mercy of your power company and their ability to get the power back up and running quickly. Frequent power outages not only disturb the flow of your day to day life, they also disturb the reliability of comfort in your home. No matter how great your furnace may function, it is useless without a source of electricity. Four Seasons’ Home Services division has the answer to your power outage problems: a whole house automatic generator.
Protecting Your Family’s Comfort
Unless you think your family could handle several days without heat in the home, you may want to sit down and seriously consider the benefits of a whole house generator. These systems, when installed by Four Seasons, will automatically switch on in the event of a power outage. They will use natural gas to produce electricity for as much or as little of the home as needed. At the very least you can attach this machine to the furnace, air conditioner, and sump pump. (more…)

Some people will try anything to get the furnace to kick back on during a breakdown without needing to call a professional. They will mess with the thermostat and jiggle wires, and all the while they are crossing their fingers hoping for a miracle. Sometimes, these people get lucky, and maybe you could too! It is true. The majority of furnace problems can be prevented in advance by having regular maintenance performed on the system. However, what happens when you don’t get the furnace cleaned? Well, you end up with a breakdown. Four Seasons would encourage you to have this cleaning performed even if you are one of those lucky people that are able to get the unit to start back up.
Restarting the Furnace
Sometimes all the furnace needs to get going is to be restarted. Like the many electronics out there that can freeze up, you simply reboot the unit and suddenly it works again. This sometimes works with your furnace or other heating system. You turn the unit off at the thermostat. Then you turn the switch off at the furnace, flip the breaker, and manually turn the unit back on before setting the temperature on the thermostat. Suddenly the furnace kicks on and all is well. If this were to happen to you, you should take this as a warning call! Your furnace is having some sort of problem, and it needs to be checked. (more…)

We wanted true professionals that were experts in their chosen field, and that is how we ended up with such a wide variety of servicemen. No matter the problem you may need solved or the maintenance job you need completed, Four Seasons has your technician on hand!

The holiday season is a popular time of year for many people to travel. We pack up cars and take planes all over the country to visit family and friends and we leave our homes behind. Every year, without fail, there are hundreds of homeowners in the Chicagoland area that will turn off the thermostat to save some money while they are away, and as a result, they experience a real disaster in the home when they finally get back. We know you want to save some money while you are away, but there is a safer way. Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning is issuing this warning so that you can protect your home this season, and our handymen can help you prepare the home as well.
Frozen and Burst Pipes
Turning off the thermostat when you leave the home can be a big mistake. Sure, you save some money on the energy bills, but you put all of the plumbing fixtures in the home at risk. The winter may have so far been pretty mild, but all you need is one icy cold winter night and suddenly you have frozen pipes. Once that frozen pipe begins to thaw, the water rushing into the pipe may cause it to burst and cause serious water damage to that particular area of the home. The worst part is that if you are out of town, there is no one there to turn off the water supply, so the mess you come home to could be a true home disaster that will cost much more to fix that the little bit of money you were trying to save by turning off the furnace in the first place.

Hundreds of furnaces across the Chicagoland area are way too big for the homes that they are installed in. How did this happen? Well, there are two possibilities: either the furnace was installed back when the motto, “Bigger is better” rung true, or the installer decided to take you for a ride by selling you a larger and therefore more expensive unit. No matter your situation, having a furnace in the home that is bigger than needed has probably already caused you problems. The only way to repair this problem is to either expand the size of your home or get a new unit, but how are you going to know if your furnace is over sized in the first place? Leave it to Four Seasons.
What Size Should Your Furnace Be?
Next time you need something heating or cooling related performed in you home, call Four Seasons. Our servicemen are heating and cooling experts and they will be able to do the appropriate assessments on your home to determine the proper size furnace you should have installed. Or, if you are looking to install a new furnace anyways, schedule your free estimate with your Four Seasons Home Comfort Specialist. Where other contractors may base their estimate off the size of furnace you already have in the home, Four Seasons is willing to take the time to find out what size the furnace should be. (more…)
