I've been working in HVAC for over 25 years, and at this point, there's not much I haven't seen or fixed. From quick repairs to full system installs, I take pride in doing the job right the first time. No shortcuts, no guesswork. I'm based out of Brazil, Indiana, and I'm willing to travel up to 100 miles to help homeowners stay comfortable year-round. Whether your heat goes out in the middle of winter or your AC quits during a heatwave, I show up ready to get things handled. I believe in honest work, fair pricing, and treating your home like it's my own. When you call me, you're getting experience, reliability, and someone who actually cares about keeping your system running the way it should.

"Kelly (and his wife) are both wonderful - I can't say enough good things about them!!!   I'd smelled gas in the upstairs, called the gas company, and they'd come out, identified a signficant leak in the basement, shut off my gas, and said I'd need to get a plumber out to repair it before the gas could be turned back on.  I didn't know anyone to call, so found Ameriplumb through Angie's List (I'd just joined).  When I called, the person answering the phone (I think it was Kelly's wife) was very kind and said  she'd get in touch with him immediately & explain the problem.  Kelly called shortly thereafter and set up a time to come out within an hour or so to look at the problem.  He had a very full day going on, but still managed to fit me in and solve my problem - I know he ended up working late into that night as a result - so I was very grateful for his help.   The multiple leaks were in a terribly inaccessible part of the basement , and the space he had to work in was very tight.  The job was complex, with multiple curved pipes leading to others, etc., but he tackled it and in a few hours he had an entire new section of piping installed & the leaks fixed!  Then when he turned the gas back on, I still smelled gas in the upstairs.  After trouble-shooting the problem, we discovered that turn-off knob to my gas fireplace was not really in the "off" position (the Ameren workman had turned it to what he thought was the "off" position, but it was really still on)!   So Kelly figured out how it worked (it wasn't obvious, with the markings hidden by a screen & hard to read), and made sure it was truly "off".   So the gas problem was finally solved.  Then before he left, he also helped me with a few other problems/questions I had in the basement (see above for description).   He also steered me away from several solutions which would have cost alot (& made him more money), and told me less costly ways to handle things, which I think is rare.  So, all-in-all, my experience with Kelly was excellent - I definitely will be calling him again with any plumbing, heating/air or gas line problems I have in the future, and I  highly recommend him to all of you "Angie's Listers".  He has alot of all-around experience, is highly competent, and really came through for me when I really needed it!

"The new system was working well and Rich did spend a whole day working hard to install the system. Overall, it is a good experience, and he managed to help us save a lot of money. He is also very friendly and offered to help us fix other small problems in the house which are not part of his responsibility. I recommend his service. The only thing that is less pleasant in the experience is that he did reschedule a couple times, but he always texted me a couple hours before the appointment to reschedule."

"CHW was very responsive to our urgent need! We filed a claim the evening prior when we notices our A/C was blowing warm air into the rooms. Then by 8AM the next day, we had a call from the service technician saying he was on his way to address the issue! CHW worked with the technician to find out the compressor was the culprit and approved it's repair! Great customer service for a family in need during the hot south central Texas summer!"

"Last week, we noticed our heater was not working very well. I called Purcell's, and someone came out the next day (Wednesday) to look at it. They determined the limiting switch was broken, and he fixed it on Thursday. Our house felt warmer, but it wasn't getting to the thermostat reading. I called on Friday, and the technician came out later that evening to change the settings. The temperature dropped over the weekend, and our heater struggled to reach 64. When it read 57 on Monday morning, I called in again. Matt, the owner, said that he was going to come out to take a look at it instead of a technician because he wanted to see what was going on. He arrived before he said he would, and he found the problem to be the furnace was dirty and needed to be cleaned. He cleaned out the furnace for us, and the house is now heating properly. Within 30 minutes, our thermostat was reading 62 (before it was 58), and it is still climbing. I can definitely feel the difference as there is a lot more air pressure coming out of all the vents. Matt did not charge for the technician coming out the second time or this morning when he cleaned out the vents. He said that we had already paid enough. I really appreciated that both the technician and Matt answered our questions and did not pressure us into things that we did not need. Thank you so much for making our house warm again in such cold weather!"

"I received prompt service when setting up my appointment. Gentleman came promptly at time specified and gave a thorough estimate on what it would cost for system to be fixed. I also received options on how I could repair system with different money levels and the differences of warrantees. I was extremely impressed at how quickly my home was serviced."

FAQs for central a/c service or repair projects in Arcola, IL

Coils work to absorb heat into the refrigerant that flows through them, moving heat from one location to another. For air conditioning, the evaporator coil inside the air handler in your home absorbs heat. It then transfers the heat outside to the condenser coil, where it releases it. The opposite process happens for heat pumps. When the coils get dusty and dirty, it reduces how well these components work.

Skip regular cleanings, and dirt, debris, and mineral deposits will blanket your evaporator and condenser coils. When that happens, the coils can’t shed heat efficiently, so the system works harder and your energy bill climbs. Over time, overheating strains the compressor and can trigger a full breakdown—an avoidable repair that often costs far more than a simple annual cleaning.

AC coil cleaning is an investment that pays for itself in the benefits it provides. Dust‑caked coils force your AC to run longer, so you spend more on electricity and rack up extra wear. A quick professional cleaning restores efficiency, trims monthly bills, and eases strain on expensive parts. Over the long haul, that small yearly fee delays pricy repairs and stretches the unit’s lifespan, making coil cleaning one of the smartest HVAC tune‑ups you can schedule.

Watch for higher electric bills, rooms that stay warm no matter how low you set the thermostat, or an AC system that runs nonstop. Extra humidity and frost on the coils are also red flags. Catching these clues early lets you schedule a quick cleaning before the system overworks itself and triggers an expensive breakdown.

Your AC cleaning technician starts by shutting off the power to the unit and removing the faceplate. Compressed air and a vacuum hose blast away loose debris, followed by a coil-safe, no-rinse cleaner that dissolves stubborn grime. After the solution has soaked in, the professional wipes the fins, reassembles the housing, and restores power, leaving the system ready to cool at peak efficiency.
