Air Conditioning Installation and Replacement
If your air conditioner has reached the point where repairs no longer do the job or your home’s energy efficiency is at an all-time low, you may need a new system. When your Thomasboro home is ready for a new or replacement air conditioner, our Hoveln Heating and Cooling professionals will install your cooling system without delay.
How do you know if you need a replacement air conditioner? Here are some of the most common issues. Your unit is:
- Approaching the end of its life span, usually between 15 and 20 years
Efficiency decreases as your system gets closer to the end of its life. You want to act proactively to plan what your replacement purchase will be instead of acting reactively when your system unexpectedly quits. This can save you money.
- Experiencing more and more repairs
Similar to when your car requires more and more repairs, there comes a time for evaluation. Are you spending more in repairs than it would cost to invest in a new system? If the answer is yes, call and talk to one of our knowledgeable team members to discuss your options.
- Showing signs of running inefficiently
How can you tell if your air conditioner is running inefficiently? A good indication is if your energy bills are increasing and your utility company’s rates remain steady.
This typically demonstrates it’s taking longer for your heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system to cool down your Illinois, home to your preferred comfort level. Your system is running longer and using more energy than it should in this case—an increase in energy costs.
If you notice any of these signs with your air conditioner, or if you suspect another reason for needing a replacement, talk to one of our Hoveln Heating and Cooling team members. We will design a system best matched for your comfort needs and budget. Our experts are always here to help you.
We also offer several financing options to help if this is a concern. Contact us to discuss how our team can guide you through our process.
Air Conditioning Repairs
Not having your air conditioner working on the hottest of days in Illinois, can be exasperating. Whenever you need a repair, let our heating and cooling experts quickly remedy it for you.
There are many ways your air conditioner can stop working in its normal capacity. A few symptoms you could experience are:
- Hearing an unusual noise
- Smelling an unusual odor like burning
- Feeling warm air coming from your vents
- Noticing your air conditioner is frozen
- Leaking water
These symptoms mean you have an issue with your air conditioner. Ignoring problems usually only makes them bigger and more costly. Our recommendation is to have one of our Hoveln Heating and Cooling team members promptly diagnose and repair the issue for you.
Sometimes a repair turns into an emergency. Give us a call when it’s urgent. We are here 24/7 for you.
When you do need our professionals to make a repair, you can count on it staying repaired. We make our repairs right the first time—and only use the highest quality parts and materials when working on your system. Our experts are always here for you.
Air Conditioning Maintenance
Keeping your air conditioner in its best operating condition is your goal. You want your system inspected, cleaned, and tuned up on a regular basis to help avoid unexpected and costly repairs and breakdowns.
Routine maintenance by our trained and experienced Hoveln Heating and Cooling team helps your air conditioner cool your Thomasboro home efficiently and reliably. With annual professional care, you may experience maintenance benefits such as improved energy efficiency, extended system life span, and decreased emergencies.
We recommend having our experts prep your air conditioner before you use it for the first time in the spring to give you consistent cooling all season.

“Excellent as always! Everything neat and tidy and everything cleaned up when he leaves!”
“I was sold by the sales man who came out and gave us the estimate. He was very professional and answered all questions asked. Not only that but he also followed up to ensure that we didn’t have any additional questions.
The team that did the installation was likewise impressive. Each had a mission and then they worked together. I was definitely impressed and will let others know how I feel about your business.”
“Trent, Tyler and Payton were here today to install Bryant air conditioning and furnace units in our condo. They called before they came, worked nonstop until the job was done and were extremely courteous. Put drop cloths down throughout the house and when they left even the garage was spotless. Our previous system was also a Bryant and the few times we needed customer service, they were helpful and prompt to address our issue. Highly recommend Hoveln for any HVAC related work.”
“Our AC recently went out and the Hoveln team came to our home quickly, assessed the problem, and provided options for us (fixing vs replacing). All was done in a very timely matter. We have an old home (pushing 150 years old) and for the past 30 years Hoveln has been providing maintenance, upgrades, repairs and replacement to our boiler, hot water heating and AC. They have replaced broken pipes, installed sinks, and fitted our basement with a sump pump among other things. They keep our home cool in the summer and warm in the winter. They have been critical in allowing us to live comfortably in this very old home which many professionals are unwilling to work on given the complexity that its age demands (kind of like me). The staff whom we interact with on the phone are always available, extremely helpful, kind and professional. We have gotten to know their many great staff as well as three generations (now) of professionals in this family owned and operated heating and cooling company. Thanks guys!”
“Always excellent for 35 years of providing us service.
Excellent staff as well.”
“I called several HVAC companies and they weren’t at all interested in helping me with a defunct PTAC in a rental property apartment. Hoveln called me back right away and evaluated it the next day and would have had work done the day after but tenants had a conflict and couldn’t let them in right away. The tenants were pleased once the new PTAC was installed too.
Everything was great from phone contacts, to diagnostic eval, and final replacement. I will always call Hoveln first now. Professional, courteous, fair prices, and FAST.”
“Great service, knowledgeable staff, and prompt help whenever needed. Professional in every respect. Thanks as always for your many years of reliable service!”
“Brant, and all other techs, always do a great job.”
“Brant was on time and quickly performed the maintenance to my satisfaction. I highly recommend Hoveln Heating and Cooling.”
