Are you and your family suffering without central air because you think that you can’t have it installed in your home? Do you use a boiler or electric baseboards to heat your home and therefore don’t have pre-existing duct work? If you answered yes to these questions, you are not alone! There are hundreds and maybe even thousands of homes across the Chicagoland area that suffer without central air conditioner because of this very problem. Four Seasons Heating and Air Conditioning specializes in difficult air conditioning installations, and given the chance, we can get your home cool and comfortable this summer season.

Say Goodbye to Window Units

Many homeowners envision torn up floors and walls when they picture the installation for duct work in their home, but what they don’t realize is that there are other options out there. We aren’t talking about window units either. Window units are unsightly and inconvenient to use. In order to cool the entire home you would have to install one in every bedroom. You have basically 2 other options. You could have Four Seasons install a ductless mini-split system, or we could place duct work in the attic that dumps into each room through ceiling registers.

How These Air Conditioners Work

The attic ducting system works much like your typical central air conditioning system, but uses an air handler to circulate air cooled by the condenser located on the outside of the home. Mini split systems are different though. They don’t use any duct work and instead have individual units that are installed on a wall in the targeted areas of the home. These units are hooked up to one condenser located at ground level outside. The benefits of this type of system are that you don’t have to cool areas of the home that are not in use. Each unit will have its own thermostat remote that can control the individual temperature for that room. This saves money and offers maximum customized comfort throughout the home.

Free In-Home Assessment and Estimate

If you have always wondered what it would take to get air conditioning in your home, call Four Seasons for a free in-home estimate. Our salesmen will be able to assess your unique situation and recommend the best system for your needs. With our attractive financing options that we currently offer, this purchase is more affordable than ever before.

Quick Tips to Fix an AC Problem| Elmwood Park, Orland Hills

Here’s a few quick tips on possible Spring AC problems. In this tough economy the last thing you need is an air conditioner repair when you try and turn it on for the first time this spring. There are two quick and simple possibilities for why your air conditioner may not be quite right the first time around this year.

1. Possible tripped breaker – One of the most common causes of no-cool calls is a tripped breaker. Be sure to reset your breaker before making a call for heating & cooling repairs. Hopefully it won’t trip again, but if it does then it’s time to make a call. At that point something is causing the breaker to trip and still it is often something simple like a bad breaker, loose wire, or a bad capacitor. However, if not addressed, some simple problems can lead to far more expensive repairs.

2. Dirty filter – If you have a 1” disposable filter, it should be replaced monthly. It’s easy to forget because it’s out of sight and out of mind. But every year many HVAC service calls where the air conditioner is not cooling the air are the direct result of restricted air flow from a dirty filter. A dirty filter can also result in a frozen indoor coil, which again can lead to more serious repairs.

So be mindful of both of these easy to fix problems before you get too worried. And if these tips don’t work, we’re right around the corner to help with any problems you may encounter!
