Common Causes of A/C Unit Breakdowns
DIRTY FILTER
One of the most common reasons an AC system stops cooling or ‘freezes up’ is due to a dirty A/C filter. Most HVAC filters only last about 30 days, and when the system runs longer cycles as it does in the hot summer months, the more frequently the filter may need to be checked and/or changed – at times even sooner than 30 days.
In order to get your cooling system back up and running, you may only need to check and replace the dirty HVAC filter.
LACK OF MAINTENANCE
Lack of proper maintenance can have severe effects on your air conditioning system. A dirty outdoor coil is similar to wearing a wool blanket in 100-degree weather. Lack of maintenance will lead to much higher utility bills and shorter lifespan of your air conditioner. Therefore, every manufacturer recommends annual maintenance of the AC and often will void a warranty if proper maintenance is not performed annually.
MAINTENANCE REMINDER: Regular maintenance on your system will prolong your HVAC system’s life and efficiency levels and can also help to prevent an untimely AC breakdown.
THERMOSTAT MALFUNCTION
Your thermostat controls your HVAC system, and you want to make sure that it’s working correctly so that your heating and cooling equipment are operating properly. To make sure the thermostat for your HVAC system is working correctly, check the batteries (if applicable), and make sure the thermostat is turned on and set to ‘cool’ mode.
If you’ve tried the steps above and the air conditioner doesn’t work still, you can contact our office to schedule an appointment for HVAC repairs in Shorewood, IL or a nearby area.
REFRIGERANT LEAKS
Another reason an AC breakdown could occur is due to a refrigerant leak. When the refrigerant leaks out of the system, it will cause indoor temperatures and humidity to rise, causing the home to be uncomfortable. In many cases, a refrigerant leak can be repaired after performing a leak test in order to get your system back up and cooling your home again.
If you are experiencing a ‘no cool’ situation and suspect it could be a refrigerant leak, contact our office for a service call. An expert HVAC technician will come out to look over the system to diagnose and determine whether a refrigerant leak has occurred. If a refrigerant line is needed or a repair is needed, you will be quoted for that work; the location of the refrigerant leak and the amount of refrigerant lost will affect the cost of repairs.

Wondering if you should repair or replace?
We will never pressure you into any decision. High-pressure sales tactics go against everything we stand for. We will give you all options available and allow you to make the final decision on your HVAC repair in Joliet, IL or a nearby area. The most commonly asked question when servicing an older unit is “Do I repair or replace it?” There is no easy answer. It varies by your situation. The U.S. Department of Energy states, “Even if your air conditioner is only 10 years old, you may save 20-40% of your cooling energy costs by replacing it with a newer, more efficient model.” If you’re not ready for a new unit or have no interest in replacement at this time, that’s perfectly fine. We can often offer a couple of repair options to get another few years to a time when you are more prepared for the financial investment.

The best in the business!
We had ComfortMax out to replace our furnace and AC unit. On time, personable employees on the phone and on the job. Fair pricing, what more can you ask for. We will definitely be using Comfortmax for all of our HVAC systems in the future!
Thanks Mark and crew!
I highly recommend ComfortMax! They have been outstanding to work with! Emmanuel is very knowledgeable, patient, professional and honest. We are very happy with the installation of our new ac unit, furnace and hot water heater. The installation team worked efficiently & did a fantastic job! Mark has also been very helpful. We will continue to use them for all our heating/cooling needs!
We had a furnace and air conditioner installed in 04/23. The workmanship was outstanding and the guys cleaned up all the mess. Mark and Emanuel are great guys and go above and beyond to make sure everything is right.
I have worked with Mark Jim Anthony and Malcolm. My HVAC install went more smoothly than I could imagine. They are all helpful and explain things thoroughly. I highly recommend them. Customer service is top notch. The office staff is friendly and helpful.
I needed a new furnace and AC and Comfort MAX had them both installed and up and running within 2 days from my ordering. They were professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend Comfort MAX to anyone who is needing a new furnace or Air Conditioner.
I have used ComfortMax on 4 different occasions and everyone that has come out has been professional and extremely helpful in answering questions and helping me understand what they are doing. Mark even tried to help me trouble shoot my issues over the phone for free vs sending a tech out. I will use ComfortMax for all my HVAC needs and will also recommend them to anyone that inquires. Great Job being a true professional service company!
Words can not express the gratitude I have for this company. Emmanuel, Mark & the rest of the team, I appreciate everything that you guys did. Emmanuel I certainly appreciate you, because you made sure to stay in contact with me to make sure my family was doing ok during those below zero days, even before I made up my mind on whether or not I was going to use this company. Finally made up my mind, contacted Comfortmax and scheduled installation for all 3 service(water heater, a/c & furnace). These men are very professional, neat, organized & have a sense of urgency without jeopardizing their quality of work. If you are in need of repairs or installation of hvac service, COMFORTMAX is the company to trust. Thank you, thank you, thank u and may your business continue to prosper…..
The team at ComfortMax was amazing! During the quote process they presented me with several options from fixing current AC unit to several replacement options. They clearly explained the benefits & downside to all options. Ultimately they offered a really fair price on a replacement option we decided to go with. Upon installation their team was on time, friendly, & knowledgeable taking the time to teach us the digital unit along with the best ways to protect our unit. Overall, I would highly recommend them for service!
ComfortMax is a great HVAC company. Our technician, Malcolm, was terrific. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative about our furnace tune-up and water tank tune-up. Thank you for your reliable service.
Our C/A went out on one of the hottest days of the summer. I called ComfortMax at 8:00am when they opened and requested an appointment. I was a new customer so I wasn’t sure how quickly they could come out. I was scheduled between 9-11am, Malcolm showed up at 9:00 showed me what part was not working and replaced it. He then cleaned and checked our unit. He was finished by 10-10:30. I was very pleased with the company.
My AC stopped working last night and Mark came to the rescue. Glad I was recommended to ComfortMax! Honest and trustworthy company. I will definitely be going to them for all future needs. Thank you again Mark!
