Answer 2

Hopefully not today, just got a quote of $179 to come out today just to diagnose the problem. I know it's a holiday but ‍♀️

@demeter call Comfort First Heating and Cooling in Minooka. They do not charge extra to come out on a holiday or off hours. They are so wonderful.

@meekins great, thank you.  

---

@demeter you're welcome! They fixed my old ac unit, since installed a new one and a new water heater. They are fabulous!  

---

@meekins just called them. Thanks!  

---

@demeter you're welcome! I'll never use another company again. They are the best. I hope you get your ac working soon!

@demeter common if you’re looking for a reputable certified hvac technicians and warrantied work. Some companies hide the fees in the repair some charge up front. 1/2 or more of that fee typically covers a good certified technician on holiday pay and then their gas, vehicle, insurance, fully stocked truck, etc still needs to be covered. Just a heads up. But a one man shop is typically cheaper. You just don’t have the guarantee of help when weather is extreme by a bigger company with 24/7 help and multiple technicians. If your good waiting a couple days it’s cheaper. Just depends on your budget and needs. Also, look into a maintenance plan with hvac companies. That can save you a ton of money. Like Patriot Heating and Cooling Services Inc. is only $14 a month and you never pay for service call fees during business hours.  

Answer 3

Thank you, ladies. I contacted 2 people. One of which, was my first call. He rebuilt, our ac motor last year. He's gonna come out later today and fill the freon. The coils are frozen.

@innerdirected who were you able to get to come today? Do they charge extra for the holiday?  

---

I was able to call this person

---

@demeter , but I also recieved a call from this person

---

@innerdirected thank you!  

---

Tom, rebuilt our ac motor last year. He'll be out here after 4. As for the other recommendation, I'm unsure of how much he would charge.  

---

@demeter , i hope someone can come out and help you. My coils are frozen. So, the ac has to be off for the day, in order for him to cgarge/refill the freon.  

---

@innerdirected I turned my until off yesterday and everything is thawed. I've just been running the fan on the ac.  

---

@demeter , yeah that's what i was told to do.  

---

I turned ours off last night. Slept with fans and the up stairs windows open. (I have mastiffs so, not worried about someone breaking in . ) Woke up at 4 when it started rainung and shut the windows and turned on the ac. So, it should be good by, 4ish.

Answer 8

Freon is super expensive because it's unsafe for the environment so the government raised the price to deter its use. Just a heads up. My old unit was recharged for only $80. Two years later it would have cost around $400 just to recharge, not to mention thre service fee and diagnostic testing which was like $150. We ended up just replacing the whole unit with something new and more efficient that doesn't use freon.  

Comments

@candlemas, we are going to replace it. We know, it's old and that freon, is hardly in use. But, we had it rebuilt, last summer. We know it has a leak. But, i gotta do the best with what, i got at the moment

---

@innerdirected totally understand! New units are costly! HVAC companies can give 0% 36 month loans. Payments will only be $50-$60 per month. I wish we had known our would be affordable because we'd have replaced the unit the first year it needed freon. It was nearly 25 yrs old!

@candlemas good to know!
