Compressor Repair

The compressor is the heart of an air conditioning system. When it fails, the entire cooling process shuts down. Our technicians in Des Plaines provide expert diagnosis and replacement services to get your AC running again.
We troubleshoot compressor issues like failed start capacitors, burned out windings, broken valves, and refrigerant leaks.

Where repair is possible, we handle tasks like condenser and evaporator coil cleaning, refrigerant recharge, thermostat calibration, and wiring inspections. For older units with extensive damage, we replace the compressor, calibrate the controls, test for leaks, and monitor operation.

AC Fan Belt Replacement

Over time, the fan belt stretching across your AC’s blower motor and compressor pulleys can wear out. A loose, cracked, or broken belt reduces airflow keeping your home cool. Our technicians offer quick, affordable fan belt replacement in Des Plaines.

We perform a thorough inspection of your air conditioner components like the blower motor, condenser fan, evaporator coils, refrigerant lines, thermostat, and duct connections when replacing old belts. Other repairs like cleaning dirty coils, sealing duct leaks, or replacing capacitors and controls may be required as well. Proper belt tension and alignment extends the life of your AC.

Blower Motor Replacement

If your AC unit turns on but you get little to no air flowing from the vents, the blower motor may be worn out. Our AC technicians provide expert blower motor testing and replacement in Des Plaines. We troubleshoot electrical and mechanical issues preventing proper operation.

Repairing or replacing a broken blower motor often requires checking related components too. Our team performs checks on the fan belt, condenser unit, duct connections, thermostat, capacitors and other electrical controls. We may also clean dirty evaporator coils, replace worn out air filters, recharge refrigerant, or seal duct leaks. Our work leaves your system running efficiently.
