Cooling Services in Streamwood, IL

Northern Illinois summers bring stretches of 90-degree days and heavy humidity, which is hard on air conditioners and the people living with them. Pure Comfort Heating and Cooling repairs, replaces and maintains central air systems across Streamwood, Bartlett, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg and the rest of the Northwest Suburbs. We check refrigerant, airflow and electrical components before deciding what your system needs.

AC repair

Most air conditioner repairs cost between $150 and $700. Our trucks are stocked with capacitors, contactors, fan motors and other common parts, so many repairs are completed the same day. We never charge overtime, and emergency calls usually get a technician within one to three hours.

AC replacement

A new air conditioner typically costs $5,000 to $9,000 installed, and a complete furnace and AC replacement typically runs $8,000 to $19,000. Most homeowners choose systems in the 14 to 18 SEER2 range, and Lennox models go as high as 26 SEER2. Every replacement includes a load calculation, so the system is sized for your home instead of guessed. New equipment usually arrives within one to two days, an AC-only installation takes four to six hours, and a full system takes seven to ten hours.

Why refrigerant matters

New air conditioners use R-454B, a lower-impact refrigerant. Older systems that still run on R-22 are expensive to recharge because that refrigerant is no longer produced. If your AC is low on R-22, we will explain the cost of a repair compared with a replacement before any work begins.

AC maintenance and humidity control

A spring tune-up is $99 in our main service area. We clean the outdoor coil, check the refrigerant charge, test electrical parts and clear the condensate drain. If your home feels sticky even when it is cool, a two-stage or variable-capacity system, or a whole-home dehumidifier, removes far more moisture than a basic single-stage unit.

Repair or replace?

Replacement usually makes sense when an AC is 12 to 15 years old, uses R-22 or needs a compressor or coil. We give you both prices in writing and let you decide.
