As a thank you for choosing Andersen, we are waving Basic Diagnostic & Dispatch Fees for a limited time only. *Excludes After Hours Calls
North Aurora is a close-knit community just north of the Fox River, and the homes here deal with the same humid river valley summers that affect all of the Fox Valley. When your air conditioner stops working during the hottest stretch of July, you want a team that knows the area and can respond fast. Andersen Plumbing, Heating and AC Repair has been that team since 1985, and our phones are answered every hour of every day.
North Aurora homeowners are not calling a national dispatch center when they call us. They are calling their local, family-owned HVAC and plumbing company with over four decades of experience in this exact climate.
The Fox River Valley climate means North Aurora homeowners are asking their AC systems to manage both high temperatures and elevated humidity throughout the summer. Here are the signs that the system is losing that battle:
Any one of these is a reason to call for service. Two or more happening at the same time means the call should happen today.
River proximity keeps humidity elevated in North Aurora through most of the summer, and a cooling system that is underperforming is also an underperforming dehumidifier. As we have seen in other Fox Valley communities along the river, this combination can cause moisture damage inside the home much faster than homeowners expect.
From a pure mechanical standpoint, the longer a compressor labors with low refrigerant, a dirty coil, or a failing electrical component, the more wear it accumulates in a compressed timeframe. What would normally take years of operation to cause happens in days when the system is stressed. Acting on the first signs of a problem is far less expensive than addressing the compressor damage that results from ignoring them.
Homes near the Fox River in North Aurora deal with cottonwood, river valley moisture, and pollen that can affect filter life and condenser cleanliness more than homeowners often realize. Here are the practices that matter most:
An Andersen \$99 Membership Plan schedules that annual tune-up automatically.
Rick called on the morning of the Fourth of July weekend when his system stopped cooling overnight. His family had plans and the house was already warming up. The technician arrived by mid-morning and found that the outdoor fan motor had seized. It is a mechanical failure that happens when motors accumulate enough hours of operation and the bearings wear.
The motor was on the truck. The technician swapped it out, tested the system through a full cooling cycle, and was done in about 90 minutes. Rick’s family had a comfortable holiday weekend.
We have been a family-owned business since 1985 and North Aurora has been part of our community the entire time. Our technicians know this area well and they bring the parts and the experience to resolve most cooling problems on the first visit.
Working with Andersen means:
High humidity increases the latent load on the system, which is the energy needed to remove moisture. If the system is already operating near capacity, elevated humidity can push it over the edge.
Freezing usually means the evaporator coil is not receiving enough airflow, which is typically caused by a dirty filter or a refrigerant charge issue. Turn the system off and let it thaw, then call for service.
Always. We provide a clear quote before beginning any work and we do not add charges that were not discussed.
Most fan motor replacements are completed in one to two hours, assuming the motor is a standard part that we carry on our trucks.
Call us or ask about our \$99 Membership Plan, which includes your annual tune-up and sets up priority scheduling for any repair calls you may need through the year.
