4

Our tech will give you an upfront estimate

With an approved quote, our technician will get to work repairing your air conditioner. Our techs have the tools and training needed to repair all AC makes and models. We also fix ductless systems.

Before our tech leaves your home, we’ll run through a diagnostic checklist to ensure that your air conditioner is running right again and cooling down your home.

Common AC Issues We Solve

From strange noises to complete system failures, the experts at King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing are ready to provide ac repair in Chicago.

save-on-ac-repair

AC not cooling

AC running but house still warm? Could be refrigerant or airflow.

Chicago summers push AC systems hard. If your home stays muggy and warm even with the AC running, you likely have a refrigerant leak, dirty evaporator coils, or a failing compressor. Call King for a diagnosis.

AC blowing warm air

AC blowing warm air instead of cold? Your system needs attention.

Check that your thermostat is set to COOL — if it is and you’re still getting warm air, the culprit is usually a refrigerant leak, failed compressor, or tripped breaker on the outdoor unit. King can typically diagnose and fix this in one visit.

cracked-condensate-pipe

AC leaking water

Water leak near your AC unit? It’s probably a clogged drain line.

Condensate drain clogs are especially common during Chicago’s humid summers when your system runs constantly. Left untreated, it leads to water damage and mold. Call King and we’ll clear the line and check for any underlying issues.

AC-Repair-1

AC making noise

Is your AC banging, squealing, or rattling? Don’t ignore it.

Banging usually means a loose component; squealing points to a worn belt or bearing. Chicago’s freeze-thaw cycles are tough on AC hardware — a small noise today can become a costly repair tomorrow. Call King before it gets worse.

AC not turning on

AC won’t start? There are a few common causes — let us find it fast.

A failed capacitor, bad contactor, or tripped safety switch are the most common culprits — especially after a long Chicago winter. King’s trucks are stocked with the parts to fix it fast.

I’ve been with King since they bought Chicagoland Heating and Air Conditioning. The service has been excellent with their punctuality and professionalism. Would highly recommend this company.My technician(Cole) is very knowledgeable and through. He takes his time with his inspection and explains everything. I always feel that after he leaves there will be no problems with my furnace.

This company is outstanding! Came at 9:00 last night to do the repair. Very helpful and professional. Thank you!
King is always there when I need them. I called around eight-ish. They were here in less than an hour. They fix my problem. It wasn’t a lot of money and they are the best thing in my life owning a home even though I have other insurance I call King.
Prompt service! Great communication with representatives. Patient with explaining my options for buying a furnace and central air unit.I didn’t feel pressured to buy a furnace that was more than was needed for my home. Also provided me with a little hand holding when I needed support in deciding how to pay for the new furnace. Installation of the new furnace was fast and the installation steam was prompt, respectful of my home and my family.

The technician was on time, professional, and friendly. He walked me through the issues with my furnace and helped me understand everything he was doing.
In the beginning Seth was a little confused about the job. I re-explained to him it was the shower. He focused on the shower and after careful evaluation he was able to give me an estimate on repairs. Estimate is a little high. Other than that he did a great job accessing the problem. Thank you Seth.

Featured Review of King Heating, Cooling & Plumbing by Brian W. on Google

Jordan came and gave us an estimate on Monday, July 8, 2024. He explained the issues that were being caused by our current heating and cooling systems within our home. The system that came with our home had went out two weeks prior and the home warranty was jerking us around. However, King Heating, Cooling and Plumbing didn’t do that from the estimate to installation. They walked us through the permit requirements for our village and the installation of our new furnace and ac was installed on Wednesday, July 10, 2024. Thank you for helping us make the right investment and decision for our home. Thank you for the excellent customer service and professionalism. Jordan is awesome! We are pleased and finally back cool!
