Air Conditioner Repair Near Carterville, IL

Charlie’s Air Conditioning & Heating Will Restore Your Sense of Cool

Needing an AC repair can be one of the most uncomfortable times in your life. Especially if you have heat sensitivities, like the elderly, pregnant or individuals with certain conditions who cannot stay well in an overheated environment. It's lucky we're not always in the triple digits like Arizona, but our temperature and humidity are a recipe for misery.

There are a variety of AC repair experiences you can have. You can call for 24/7 help only to find that the tech shows up during business hours the following morning. You can await the technician's diagnosis only to hear that he “thinks” coolant may be an issue before issuing you an expensive estimate based on theory.

You can also do things the quicker, more practical way by calling Charlie's Air Conditioning & Heating for an expert take on what is causing your air conditioning to malfunction. We've been doing this work for nearly 40 years and we know a filter problem from a duct problem from a drain problem. We won't guess at your issue - we'll troubleshoot until we know exactly what is wrong and then perform a repair that is 100% on target.

Turning on and off in a different pattern than usual is one clear indicator that you will need a repair. Another sign that might seem obvious to some - if your vents are blowing warm air - the issue could be with your compressor.

AC Repair FAQs

How much does AC repair typically cost?

The cost of AC repair can vary widely depending on the issue, but on average, homeowners spend between $150 and $600. Minor repairs, such as replacing a fuse or thermostat, might cost around $150 to $300. More extensive repairs, such as fixing a refrigerant leak or replacing a compressor, can range from $500 to $1,000 or more. The exact cost depends on the complexity of the repair, the parts needed, and labor rates in your area. Regular maintenance can help prevent costly repairs.

Why Is My AC Unit Cycling Repeatedly (and Other Signs You Need a Repair)?

Turning on and off in a different pattern than usual is one clear indicator that you will need a repair. Another sign that might seem obvious to some - if your vents are blowing warm air - the issue could be with your compressor.

Other signs your AC may be in need of a repair visit:

  • Low air flow could indicate an obstruction or dirty air filter is preventing your home or business from getting the full benefit of services.
  • Unusual noises and bad smells - when your car demonstrates these signs, it's usually a good sign that something is going wrong under the hood. The same is true for AC units.
  • Any signs of moisture around your unit are a bad sign and a sign that your unit needs a repair. Any moisture can lead to mold and bacterial issues so be sure to call us out for this one.

Should you need a new unit, more efficient unit or greater capacity unit, we’re here to help with that as well.
