Fixing Broken ACs Since 2007

You're looking forward to getting home to your AC after a long day on the town. But, when you open your front door, the air inside is almost as muggy as what's outside. What gives? It looks like you might have a problem with your heat pump or air conditioner.

Summers in Joliet, Aurora, and surrounding areas can be brutal. That’s why a home with reliable air conditioning is on the top of many buyer’s shopping lists. Instead of suffering through the heat, give Gene May Heating & Cooling a call. Whether you end up needing simple AC repair services or a full AC replacement, our local HVAC experts are here for you.

How to Tell When It’s Time to Call an AC Expert

You rely on your air conditioner to keep you cool in Illinois's hottest months. Without it, your home will soon be a sticky sauna. Fortunately, your AC unit typically hums along just fine. It pulls and cools air from outside before dispersing overheated air elsewhere. In your little safe haven, it can be easy to forget that it's 90 degrees outside.

But, sometimes, the AC process stops or sputters. Unfortunately, unless it’s a full-on breakdown, most homeowners don’t know when it’s time to call an HVAC contractor.

Here’s a shortlist of circumstances when it's necessary to pick up your phone:

• The unit hums but refuses to turn on
• You can’t trigger the AC on from the thermostat
• You hear strange noises or feel vibrations
• You see water pooling around your air conditioner
• The fan runs but the air coming out remains hot
• The unit abruptly ceases operation

The Most Common Causes of AC Failure

Even newer units can experience problems, especially when a single internal component fails. Just like a vehicle, air conditioners rely on dozens of parts working together. When one fails, cooling performance suffers.

The most common causes of AC breakdowns include:

• Faulty Electrical Components
• Refrigerant Leaks
• Frozen Coils
• Damaged Fan Blades
• Bad Compressors
• Faulty Thermostats
• Skipped Maintenance Visits
• Old age and rust

DIY troubleshooting can lead to unnecessary costs or even safety risks. When your AC stops cooling, our certified technicians can diagnose the issue safely and give you clear repair options. can diagnose the issue safely and give you clear repair options.
