I smelled something awful coming from the basement and noticed water pooling near the drain. It scared me because I thought it was going to flood. The HAVC inspected the sewer line with a camera and found a crack. He repaired it quickly and showed me the video after. Watching clean water flow again gave me peace of mind.

My AC was making loud rattling noises for weeks. I kept ignoring it until it stopped cooling the house. I reached out to Frontline Heating & Cooling. Their technician arrived on time, explained everything clearly, and serviced the unit. He replaced a worn-out belt and cleaned the filters. The noise is gone, and the air feels colder than before. I feel relieved knowing it won’t quit in this heat.

When the furnace shut off in the middle of the night, I didn’t know what to do. I left a message, and Frontline Heating & Cooling called back early the next morning. They sent someone out before noon. Jared was a professional and walked me through every step of the repair. By late afternoon, the heat was steady again.

During this summer, my AC struggled to keep up, and the house stayed sticky and uncomfortable. Frontline Heating & Cooling scheduled a technician the same week. He walked me through what was wrong, showed me the dirty coils, and cleaned everything on the spot. The difference was immediate. Air started blowing colder, and the humidity dropped within hours.

The furnace kept shutting off at night, and I was tired of waking up cold. Robert showed up quickly and fixed it right away. I finally slept through the night without shivering.

I scheduled routine maintenance before winter because I didn’t want surprises later. The technician showed up on time, inspected the furnace carefully, and even cleaned out a few dusty areas. He explained what to keep an eye on over the next year. It feels great knowing the system is ready before the cold months

Why Regular HVAC Inspections Are Essential

Routine HVAC inspections are crucial for maintaining indoor comfort and ensuring your system works efficiently year-round. Here are some key benefits:

Improved Energy Efficiency: Regular inspections help identify areas where your system may be wasting energy, reducing your utility bills.
Extended Equipment Lifespan: By addressing minor issues before they become major problems, you can extend the life of your HVAC equipment.
Better Indoor Air Quality: Ensuring clean filters and properly functioning air ducts improves the air you breathe indoors.
Prevention of Costly Repairs: Early detection of issues such as refrigerant leaks, malfunctioning blower motors, or clogged condensate drains prevents expensive emergency repairs.
Compliance with Chicago Energy Codes: Ensure your HVAC system meets local and national standards like ASHRAE and EPA regulations for safety and energy efficiency.

Our Comprehensive HVAC Inspection Process

Our Chicago HVAC inspection services include a detailed assessment of your system’s critical components. Here’s what we inspect:

1. Airflow Measurement and Balancing

We check the airflow throughout your HVAC system, ensuring proper distribution of heated or cooled air in every room. Air balancing helps in maintaining consistent comfort and reduces strain on your system.

2. Thermostat Calibration

A poorly calibrated thermostat can lead to inefficient system operation. We verify the accuracy of your thermostat settings and recalibrate if needed to ensure your system is maintaining the desired temperature.

3. Ductwork Inspection

Your ductwork is the backbone of your HVAC system’s performance. We perform a duct leakage test to detect any air leaks or blockages in your air ducts that may cause uneven cooling or heating and lead to higher energy consumption.

4. Filter and Air Quality Check

We replace or clean dirty air filters to ensure optimal indoor air quality (IAQ). This step is essential to prevent airborne contaminants and allergens from circulating throughout your home or office.

5. Refrigerant Level Check

Low refrigerant levels can compromise your air conditioner’s cooling ability. Our team ensures that your system’s refrigerant levels are optimal for maximum performance.

6. Compressor, Condenser, and Evaporator Coil Inspection

The compressor, condenser, and evaporator coils are inspected to ensure your system is cooling or heating properly. These components are crucial to your system’s overall efficiency and need to be free from any debris or damage.

7. Blower Motor and Fan Inspection

We examine the blower motor and fan blades to ensure they are functioning smoothly. A malfunctioning blower can cause airflow issues, while unbalanced fan blades may lead to system inefficiency.

8. Electrical Connections and Capacitors

Loose or corroded electrical connections can cause your system to malfunction. We inspect all electrical components, including the capacitors, to ensure your system is running safely and efficiently.

9. Heat Exchanger and Furnace Inspection

For heating systems, we inspect the heat exchanger and ensure the furnace is in optimal working condition to prevent issues like carbon monoxide leaks and poor heating efficiency.

10. Condensate Drain and Safety Switches

We check the condensate drain for any blockages that could lead to water damage and inspect safety switches to ensure your system shuts off properly in case of malfunction.

HVAC Inspection for Pre-Buying or Selling Homes

If you’re buying or selling a home in Chicago, an HVAC inspection is a crucial step in the process. For buyers, it provides valuable insights into the condition of the HVAC system, helping identify potential issues that could impact your purchase decision or negotiation. For sellers, a pre-listing HVAC inspection can boost your property’s market value and appeal by confirming that the system is in good working order. Our comprehensive inspections for pre-buying or selling include evaluating the system’s performance, checking major components like the compressor and heat exchanger, reviewing energy efficiency, recommending necessary repairs, and verifying compliance with local codes and regulations to ensure a smooth transaction.

Regular or Seasonal HVAC Inspection

Regular or seasonal HVAC inspections ensure your system operates efficiently year-round. We prepare your system for seasonal changes by checking air conditioning in spring, focusing on condenser coils, refrigerant levels, and filters, and heating systems in fall, examining the furnace, heat exchanger, and thermostat. Our annual maintenance also includes thorough inspections to keep your system in peak condition throughout the year.
