Our AC Repair Process — Simple From Start to Finish

1

Call us for 24/7 service

If your air conditioner stops working or isn’t running like it should, call us for 24/7 service here in Chicago and Northwest Indiana. We’ll send a tech out as we can to repair your air conditioner.

2

We’ll call when we’re on our way

As a courtesy, we’ll provide you with a heads-up phone call when we’re 10-15 minutes out. At King, our techs always travel in official service vehicles and wear an official King uniform.

3

We start by diagnosing the problem

Once our tech has greeted you at the door, they’ll take a closer look at the AC to determine what the issue is. With this diagnosis, our tech can provide you with an upfront estimate for the repair.

4

Our tech will give you an upfront estimate

Once we’ve diagnosed the problem with your AC unit, we’ll discuss it with you and review your options. As part of this, we’ll give you an upfront estimate.

5

We’ll make the repairs

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.

6

We’ll get your home cooled down again

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.

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.

King Heating and cooling has always been my first choice for service and their technicians continue to NOT disappoint. Cole from King Heating and cooling was my technician to service my air conditioner that stopped working on a hot day temperature approaching 88 degrees. I thought i would not be able to get the HVAC woking again becase of price . I was extremely pleased with his service. He offered suggestions that he felt would work for me after our conversation of my concerns and pricing was competitive. He also made suggestion of added services based on his review of my HVAC that would help with the performance of my unit. Thanks Cole!!! Thanks also to management for your customer service.

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!
