Although Chicago may be one of the biggest cities in the country, many of the surrounding suburbs are very small. Take away the immediate suburbs around the city and many people find themselves in tiny towns that don’t resemble the city life in the least. Within these towns there aren’t a lot of options when it comes to choosing a heating and cooling company. In the city it seems like there is a heating and air conditioning contractor on every corner, but when you live on the outskirts you may have only one guy in town that can handle these services. This leaves you with few options as far as getting the unit you want, serviced the way you want, and at the price you want to pay. Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has a service area that stretches much further than you may have assumed and odds are we service your home town too!
An Expansive Service Area
From the far north to the west and even into parts of Indiana, Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning has a technician near by. Living in these smaller towns you may have become accustomed to waiting for days or possibly even weeks to get the services you need completed. The businesses you have around town are small and therefore get backed up easily when demand for heating services is high. Well, Four Seasons doesn’t believe that you should sit in discomfort on a waiting list when you need heat! (more…)

When you upgrade the furnace in your home to a high efficiency unit, you will notice many things that are different about this system when compared to the old unit you had been operating in the home. The ventilation system is completely different, the unit operates very quietly, and hopefully the comfort level has increased as well. These new systems need to be cared for differently than that old unit that you once had. They have different needs you must keep an eye on, but luckily Four Seasons can help you make the transition easy.
Condensation and Your Drain Line
Besides taking special care to have your filters changed on a regular basis, there are a couple other parts of the system you should keep an eye on. The drain line, for example, is a vital component of your new furnace. This until creates a lot of water during its efficient combustion process and that water must be drained. The drain line will safely remove this water from the unit, but only if the line is clear. With a lack of maintenance this line can become easily clogged with mineral deposits and mold. The clog will cause the system to back up and shut itself down until the line is cleared. However, if you have the system regularly maintained by your Four Seasons serviceman, this will not be a problem. (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…)

Your furnace is your home’s source of comfort. As long as that unit keeps running and continues to keep you and your family warm, there is a sense of security in the home. However, your furnace can quickly turn into a source of danger if you don’t take the proper precautions. Having a furnace in the home is like having a well ventilated and circulated fire in the home. It is able to keep everyone warm, but in the process is creates harmful combustion gases that must be expelled from the home. When everything is working properly and well cared for, venting these harmful gases is not a major concern. Yet, when maintenance falls by the wayside, the furnace can cause dangerous problems for your family. Luckily Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning is around to help you keep your furnace in check.
Heat Exchanger Deterioration
Not maintaining the furnace yearly could lead to a variety of problems that will require any number of repairs. But, the problems that a lack of maintenance can cause for your furnace’s heat exchanger are what truly concern us. The heat exchanger expands and contracts with every cycle of the furnace. Over time this will lead to the development of cracks and holes in the steel of the heat exchanger. Nearly all furnaces will meet this fate if they are in operation for long enough, but the goal is to prevent this from happening for as long as possible. That means that you must have yearly furnace cleanings performed on the system along with regular filter replacements. (more…)

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.

The holiday season is hectic. You shop, plan parties, and cook for hours on end. You want everything to be perfect for the big holiday, and the last thing you need is a major furnace breakdown to get in the way of you and your family enjoying this season together in comfort. Unfortunately, hundreds of homeowners will find that come Christmas morning, the furnace has called it quits. This happens every year, and if it were to happen to you, what would you do? Would you know who to call? Would you fear having to pay outrageous fees for holiday service? If Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning was your HVAC contractor, you would have both someone to rely on in this emergency and someone that won’t charge you extra for service.
Always Available
Part of the Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning promise to our customers is that we will always be there! That is why we offer around the clock service 365 days a year! You cannot always control when the furnace or air conditioner will experience a breakdown, and just because the unit breaks down after business hours doesn’t mean you should have to wait to get it fixed. At Four Seasons you always talk to a live customer service representative no matter when you call, and that person will set you up for service no matter the time or the day. (more…)

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…)
