Furnace Repair

Don't Wait Until You Need It—
Repair your Furnace before Winter!

Actually, Summer is the perfect time for furnace repair and maintenance, and other heating repair issues. One reason for this is the availability of furnace technicians. Another is that preventative maintenance is always less stressful than furnace repair when it’s freezing outside.

MMC offers incentives and other specials for heating repair services during the summer, which means that we can fit you in and you won't be left in the cold.

What You Should Know About Furnace Repair

To familiarize yourself with your furnace you may want to review how a furnace works, and exercise some of the preventative maintenance yourself. Here are some things you can tackle:

Confirm that the furnace cycles through start-up to shut-down via your thermostat.
Check the supply (small grates in each room) and return air (large grate, usually in a hallway) temperature to make sure your thermostat is accurate.
Clean and level your thermostat. For older thermostats this ensures proper function since many of them have liquid mercury switches. And always, this is aesthetically more eye pleasing.
There is a safety switch on all furnace doors that “pops out” when the door is removed. Make sure this is unobstructed and clean
Look at all the visible wiring and electrical connections for burns or unraveling/loose wire nuts or tape.
Check the condition of your vent connection pipe and chimney for rust or gaps. Venting system parts can deteriorate over time.

COOLING

A/C Cooling Tips

Most residents have their air conditioners running on a continual basis whether they are at home or in the office, in order to enjoy a comfortable living and working environment.

Is your air conditioner the most efficient and effective product for your living space?

Spring Maintenance Tips for your Air Conditioner

Shut off power to your central A/C before beginning any air conditioner maintenance.
Check your refrigerant levels by feeling the pipe connected to your A/C unit. If it doesn't feel cool-ish (around 60 degrees), you may be low on refrigerant.
Don't forget to replace dirty A/C filters! They put more strain on your A/C unit than clean filters and increase your energy consumption.
Clean your air conditioner's ceiling registers. While this task doesn't affect your A/C unit directly, it does help ensure all its hard work doesn't go to waste.
Keep the area around your outdoor A/C unit free of grass, weeds and debris that could interfere with its performance.
If the concrete slab on which your outdoor A/C unit sits isn't level (use a carpenter's level to find out), add rocks, gravel, or dirt underneath to level it out to ensure your A/C runs as efficiently as possible
Have MMC clean your evaporator coil every couple years to prevent debris build-up.

A/C Repair and Replace

It's Chicago weather! Where it can be cool one day and then hot and humid the next day.
Controlling the "TOTAL INDOOR AIR COMFORT" of Chicago's extreme weather changes for it's residents and business owners, is the Midtown Mechanical Corporation mission.

DID YOU KNOW? Some things— you can DO YOURSELF!

Don't delay when you need air conditioner or heater repair. If you smell gas, send everyone out of your home and call your gas provider’s emergency telephone number immediately. If your air conditioner won’t cool, makes odd noises or freezes up, turn your thermostat to “off” and call MMC without delay. Running your A/C system when it isn’t working properly can turn a small repair into a much larger one.

Change your air filters

For your health, comfort and financial well-being, change or clean your air conditioning filters regularly per the manufacturers specifications. Depending on your equipment, the type of air filters you use, and the quality of the air being filtered, air filters need to be changed (or cleaned) somewhere between twice a month to once per year. On the disposable air filters, changing them once per month when you pay your utility bill is a good way to remember. Never run your heating and air conditioning system without the correct air filter in place.

Check your air ducts

Have your air ducts checked periodically for leaks. Leaking ducts cause more than 20% of the losses of heating and cooling, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. Air duct checking and leak detection is part of the MMC maintenance program. If air ducts are located in a hot or cold space such as an attic, have the outside of the ducts insulated to reduce heat loss. Having leaky ducts saves wear and tear on both your heating and cooling equipment and lowers your monthly bills.
