HVAC Repair & Replacement in Batavia, IL

What We Do in Batavia

Repair or Replace: How We Decide in Batavia

Most of the calls we take in Batavia are repairs, and most repairs are worth making. The equipment is the deciding factor, not the sales pitch.

On a furnace, the parts that fail most often are igniters, flame sensors, pressure switches, capacitors, inducer motors and control boards, and most of those repairs typically land between about $300 and $1,800. A cracked heat exchanger is the exception; that usually means replacement. On an air conditioner, capacitors, contactors and fan motors commonly run $300 to $1,400, while a refrigerant leak or a compressor on an older R-410A system can run into the thousands, which is where the repair-versus-replace conversation starts. The rule of thumb we use: if the repair costs more than half of what a new system would, and the equipment is past 12 to 15 years, replacement is usually the better spend.

On a boiler the math tilts toward repair more often, because a boiler that gets its circulators, controls and relief valve looked after can run for decades. When one is finally done, a condensing boiler or a combination boiler for heat and domestic hot water takes the Nicor Gas discount, $350 or $500, off the invoice. See boiler repair and boiler replacement.

How Repairs and Replacements Are Priced in Batavia

Every repair call starts with a flat diagnostic fee to find the problem. During office hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) the service call is $130; weekday evenings after 5 p.m. it is $180, and nights, weekends and holidays are $260. Each includes 30 minutes of travel and 30 minutes of diagnostics, and parts are extra. Once we know what failed, you get a flat-rate repair price in writing, and nothing happens until you approve it. There is no hourly meter running while we look for parts, and the price you approve is the price on the invoice.

After-hours and emergency calls are priced higher than business-hours calls. We tell you the difference on the phone before anyone is dispatched, so you can decide whether tonight or tomorrow morning makes more sense. Either way, (847) 224-2420 is answered 24/7, and we repair all major brands of furnace, air conditioner, heat pump and boiler, not just the ones we install.

Replacement quotes are free, written and include any utility discount you qualify for. We size the equipment to the house as it is today rather than the old label (a Manual J load calculation is available when it’s needed, requested or required), match the indoor and outdoor units by AHRI listing, and haul the old equipment away. Where the City of Batavia requires a mechanical permit for the replacement, we file it and the work gets inspected. If the timing is wrong for a big purchase, you can prequalify for financing in about 2 minutes with no impact to your credit score.
