About HVAC in Wilmette, IL

A system in Wilmette, IL has to handle both extremes properly, and most are better at one than the other.

Deep winter cold and humid summer heat in the same building, using the same ductwork. Equipment that heats well can still cool badly, usually because the duct system was designed around heating and never reconsidered when air conditioning was added.

What we do

• Heating. Furnace repair and replacement sized by heat loss calculation. Oversized furnaces short cycle, waste fuel and leave the rooms furthest from the ducts cold while the thermostat reads satisfied.
• Cooling. Summers here are humid enough that latent load matters. A system that only chases temperature leaves the house cool and sticky.
• Ductwork. Frequently the actual limit. Ducts sized for heating airflow are often undersized for cooling, and the result is weak airflow upstairs no amount of new equipment will fix.
• Maintenance. Combustion checks before the cold, coil and drain service before the heat. Pao Card would rather find a failing part in September than at minus ten.

How we work

Written pricing before we start. Technicians who explain the fault in plain terms and show you the part. Straight answers on repair versus replace, including when your existing equipment has years left.
