FAQs
How quickly can you respond to an air-conditioning repair call in Rockford?
Because we’re based right here in Rockford, our technicians are typically on-site within 2–4 hours of your call, often sooner for emergencies. Our dispatch software sends the closest, best-qualified technician with the parts inventory most likely to fix your system on the first visit.
Do you offer 24/7 emergency AC service, and is there an extra charge?
Yes. We have technicians on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. After-hours and holiday visits carry a small emergency fee that covers overtime labor, but we waive this fee for customers enrolled in our ComfortGuard maintenance plan.
What are the most common air-conditioning issues you see in the Rockford area?
The top problems we encounter include refrigerant leaks caused by temperature swings, frozen coils due to clogged filters, capacitor failure during summer heat waves, and thermostat malfunctions. Hard water in some Rockford neighborhoods can also cause condenser coil corrosion if not cleaned regularly.
How much does a typical AC repair cost?
Minor repairs such as capacitor or contactor replacement usually range from $150–$300. Mid-level repairs like fixing refrigerant leaks or replacing a blower motor run $400–$900. Major compressor replacements can cost $1,200–$2,000. We always provide a written, upfront quote before work begins, and financing is available for larger repairs.
Can I prevent future breakdowns with regular maintenance?
Absolutely. Annual tune-ups reduce unexpected breakdowns by up to 80% and can lower cooling costs by 10–15%. Our 21-point maintenance checklist includes coil cleaning, refrigerant level checks, electrical testing, and thermostat calibration to keep your system running efficiently all season.
Will repairing my older AC save money compared to replacing it?
If your unit is under 10 years old and the repair is less than 30% of the cost of a new system, repairing is usually the cost-effective choice. For systems 12+ years old that use outdated R-22 refrigerant or have recurring issues, replacement often provides better long-term savings through higher efficiency (SEER2 rated) and utility rebates available to Rockford residents.
