SKOKIE FURNACE REPAIR IS AVAILABLE 24/7

It gets cold in Chicagoland in the dead of winter. Temperatures of -40˚ are not uncommon. A malfunctioning furnace in these conditions begs the basic issue: not only will the pipes freeze but so will the people inside. It has happened but it doesn’t have to, at least in Skokie where there is service available around the clock every day of the week.

Sometimes we discover that a furnace has been improperly installed and fails to operate consistently. The majority of home furnaces are designed to use natural or propane gas. It’s not something to tinker with yourself. You will need qualified assistance. Other furnaces will be either fuel oil or electric. Either way, you may not be qualified to do maintenance other than the checks listed below.

Whatever type of system you have and however it was designed, it is there and it used to work but now it does not. What are you to do?

Troubleshooting Your Furnace

Even though you shouldn’t try maintaining a furnace yourself, there are a few things you can do before you call a Skokie furnace repair service:

• Check the thermostat. In dual systems which is the ones that control both the heat and the air conditioning sometimes the switch has moved away from the HEAT setting. Always check there first.

• Check the type of thermostat. Is your thermostat wired to the house power or does it have internal batteries? Modern battery-energized thermostats will signal low power. Perhaps you missed that.

• Is your system gas? It may seem simplistic, but check to ensure that the gas is “on.”

• Check the filter. Did you change it this year (if it is disposable)? Or did you clean it? Better yet, did you have annual maintenance on your furnace? That could keep you from having emergency service calls. The idea of a filter is to pull the dirt out of the air and keep it from entering the furnace, where it can do damage. Modern furnaces are designed to shut down when the filter can no longer pass air.
  
  
  

• The various pumps and fans associated with your furnace will require electricity. Perhaps the electricity has been interrupted to one of those. Turn the fans on manually. If they don’t work, something isn’t receiving power and will not operate.

• Look at the power panel. A furnace repair should have its own circuit breaker, and for some reason, the circuit was interrupted. A caution is important here, however. When a circuit breaks, there has to be a reason. If the furnace went out in a storm, perhaps the external power source was interrupted and now the breaker must be reset. However, if that breaker went out for something internally be very careful to verify that the furnace is working and if the circuit breaks a second time, get qualified help.

 These are but a few things you can do to double-check your furnace’s       

operation. If those are done and you still have no heat, it’s time to call.

MORTON GROVE HAS OUTSTANDING AC SERVICE

When we’re building a business or a home, the area absolutely must have air conditioning for creature comfort. When a building is designed, the air conditioning system must be established based on the volume of the building and the desires for conditioning the air.

How an Air Conditioner Works

A fan moves warm air from the room over coils filled with refrigerant. That refrigerant is designed to convert from a liquid to a gas under low pressure, and when it does it absorbs the heat which is then moved outside, passing through condenser coils. Then the gas returns to a liquid state and the process begins again.

In a window unit, this process is simple. It is somewhat more complex in a central air conditioning installation. The installation of a central air conditioning system requires a system of duct work to funnel air through the coils. A central air system also requires distributive hardware.

The degree of cooling by the air conditioning unit is controlled by a thermostat, located on the unit itself (in the case of a window unit), or centrally located within the home, often as a dual unit in conjunction with a heating system in a whole house unit. The window unit, of course, sits in a window and is exposed to both the indoors and outdoors. The central unit will always be outside, with air moving through pipes and duct work by devices known as air handlers. With single homes and small business buildings, the units may be placed on the ground outside the building. For larger buildings such as apartments, warehouses, condominiums, factories and other businesses, the unit may be positioned on a roof.

The units have the ability to filter airborne particulates as the unit operates. It also functions as a dehumidifier, which works like this: when the temperature of the humid air is reduced, a certain amount of moisture is released. This water must then be conducted away from the compressor unit.

The Major Parts of an Air Conditioner

In the simplest of terms, the mechanism of an air conditioner manages the airflow and the internally sealed refrigerant. These are the components:

·         The Evaporator receives the refrigerant in a liquid state.

·         The Condenser performs a transfer of the heat.

·         An Expansion Valve controls the flow of refrigerant.

·         A Compressor pump returns pressure to the refrigerant.

·         Two fans are a part of the unit—one to vent the hot air to the outdoors and one to blow air over the chilled coils.

There are variations on these of course. Some air conditioner repair are split systems, with part inside and part outside. Some are chilled water or cooling tower units.

If you need repair to your system, we provide Morton Grove AC Service.

WHEN IT’S HOT, CALL LINCOLNWOOD AIR CONDITIONER REPAIR

When the temperature is climbing 70, 80, 90 degrees in the sweltering months of a Chicago land summer, you really cannot go very long without the air conditioner working properly.

Air conditioning makes the hot temperatures ofsummer bearable. Since cool air carries less moisture than warm air, the process reduces the humidity. From that point, applying the same concepts as a refrigerator (in reverse—the cold is outside, not inside), temperature control is brought to a room or a confined space.

  

Chicago land summers can be brutal. We have not only the high temperatures of the Middle West, but we also have record high humidity readings. Conditioned air is a necessity here, and having a unit that works consistently is important. For that reason, you should consider having a spring checkup on your air conditioning system.

When It Stops

An air conditioner isn’t just for cooling—it’s designed to condition the air for indoor comfort. When it stops working you don’t really care that the purpose of the air conditioning system is to filter the dust from your home or office. You don’t care if it’s designed to remove the humidity.You don’t really care that there is an air exchange between indoors and outdoors. The fan may still be working, but if this was designed to provide some refrigeration, it isn’t doing what it should.

·         If this is a window unit, it’s easily replaced, though it may require a cost. That will allow you to take it to an air conditioner repair facility there in Lincoln wood and wait a few days while the technician can find time to fit you into the schedule.

·         What if this is central air? What if, when you swing that thermometer downward, all it does is pump out the warm humid air that you could get by opening a window or a door? If all you want to do is to move the air around, a box fan would do that for you, drying the moisture on your skin, and giving you the illusion of relief.

What do you need when the air conditioner goes out? You need relief NOW...not tomorrow....not next week...immediatelyif not sooner.

WHAT DO YOU LOOK FOR IN A HVAC CONTRACTOR?

Conditioned air is not merely cooling when it’s hot. It’s not just heating when it’s cold. Conditioned air is far more, it’s purified, it’s filtered, it’s an effort to make the home or work environment comfortable for the occupants.

It isn’t just the addition of a space heater or a window air conditioning unit. Modern buildings require careful consideration of the air quality. HVAC—Heating, Ventilating, and Air Conditioning—aren’t just heating and air conditioning, though it certainly provides those.

The entire system provides a means to:

·         Control the temperature

·         Control the humidity

·         Obtain fresh oxygen

·         Remove moisture, odors, smoke, dust, airborne bacteria, and carbon dioxide.

·         Introduce outside air, feed it to conditioning systems, and move it about the building, preventing stagnation.

That takes a hvca contractor. HVAC provides comfort to the occupants and with it a conditioning of the indoor air quality. The modern building, and certainly the modern commercial building, must have engineered HVAC systems. Contractors must determine the capacity of a building and then engineers must analyze that data, design, and specify the HVAC system.

Every HVAC is different and is tailored to the building where it is installed. The fabrication of the system must then be done and installed according to local codes. This means building permits and code inspections for compliance.

Ventilation distributes that heat or air. Furnaces often do not provide complete combustion, resulting in the emission of several gases, notably carbon monoxide, which is tasteless and odorless and a detriment to health.

The potential existence of carbon monoxide requires adequate ventilation to the outdoors. Carbon monoxide can cause headaches, nausea, fatigue, and vomiting. It reduces the blood’s ability to distribute oxygen to the body, potentially causing heart attacks. Ventilation includes the exchange of air between inside and the fresh air outside of the building as a means to maintain air quality within the building.

How It Works

The HVAC system cools by removing heat from the building through radiation, convection, or conduction. To do so may require water, air, ice, and chemicals as refrigerants compressed in heat pumps.

There are other ways to move air, of course, using ceiling fans and exhaust fans that circulate the air and/or move the air to the outside replenishing it with air from inside the building. 

A building may be naturally ventilated simply by opening doors and windows, exchanging outdoor air for indoor air without the use of distributing ductwork. Factories are often cooled by opening the higher windows and allowing the hotter air to escape at the top. This would require some fan mechanisms for air movement and can be a part of the commercial HVAC mechanism.

As to the Question:

What do you want in a HVAC contractor? Licensed and insured, of course. Highly trained in HVAC design, installation, and maintenance. Capable, competent, and available to meet your needs. Reasonably priced wouldn’t hurt, as well.
