One symptom, many possible causes. That is the core challenge of HVAC repair, and it matters even more in Hammond, IN, where failures seem to wait for the most extreme weather of the year. Equipment that will not start at all might have a failed low-voltage transformer, a thermostat that has stopped calling, a control board that has lost its sequence, or a float switch shut off by a backed-up condensate drain. Equipment that runs but never catches up is a different list: a weak capacitor, a worn contactor, a low charge, a dirty flame sensor, or a clogged filter choking off the blower.
Our two most requested repairs are AC Repair and Furnace Repair. Start there if your system isn't running right.

- A breaker that trips whenever the system tries to run
- Unfamiliar sounds from the equipment, like squealing, grinding, or banging
- Warm air from the vents in cooling mode, or cool air in heating mode
- Water around the indoor unit from a clogged condensate drain
- An outside unit that buzzes but will not start
- Utility bills climbing while comfort keeps falling
