Common Problems
Heating units
Lowest price shown
Capacitors
$120
Single-phase motors in air-conditioning units use capacitors to start the compressor. The capacitor stores energy, like a battery does, to have power available to the compressor when the thermostat tells it to turn on. Over time, capacitors can wear out, and when they do, you’ll notice the motor running hotter. Before that happens, you want to get those capacitors changed to prevent further damage to your system.
Thermostat
$120
The thermostat is your communication device to the brains of your system. You can program it and set it to desired comfort level. Newer thermostats allow smart devices. However these tools require maintenance and will have to be replace over time to allow your furnace/ac to function properly. It all starts at the thermostat.
Logic Board
$80
The brains of your system can become faulty causing all types of errors and malfunctions. It's important to properly diagnose and identify the problem you are having before replacing the board. This board should never be repaired but replace for safe operation of your furnace.
Cooling units

Fan Motor
$225
This motor runs the fan that keeps the outdoor unit cool as it runs. Keeping the compressor cool prolongs its life and keeps your home cool. If the motor is overheating, it may stop working, and that endangers the compressor. If you touch the outdoor unit and it is warm on your hand, you should turn off the unit and call 708-432-7244.
Switch Relay
$75
This switch turns on the compressor. When you set the thermostat to a specific temperature, and that temperature is reached, the thermostat signals the contact/relay and the system turns on. Over time, the contacts can pit and then it and stop working correctly.
Compressors
$1000.00
The compressor is the heart of your A/C unit. Without it refrigerant will not circuit through the system. The compressor is necessary part and is critical to proper cooling. Without proper maintenance, cleaning, and tune ups your compressor may burnout. Bad installs could cause a compressor to fail. In most cases it would be cost effective to purchase a completely new system.
