FAQs
What air-conditioning services does Precision Installations Heating & Air Conditioning provide in Rockford?
We handle the full life-cycle of residential and light-commercial cooling equipment: new system design and sizing, installation of central air conditioners and high-efficiency heat pumps, replacement of aging units, 24/7 repairs on all major brands, seasonal tune-ups, indoor-air-quality add-ons (humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air cleaners), and smart-thermostat integration. Every service is performed by EPA-certified technicians who are familiar with local Rockford building codes and ComEd rebate requirements.
How do I decide whether to repair or replace my existing AC unit?
A rule of thumb is to multiply the estimated repair cost by the unit’s age in years; if the total exceeds $5,000, replacement usually makes better financial sense. Other red flags are R-22 refrigerant (now phased out), rising energy bills, uneven cooling, or frequent breakdowns. Our technicians provide a no-obligation diagnostic report, SEER efficiency comparison, and a cost-of-ownership analysis so you can make an informed choice.
What high-efficiency air conditioners do you install and how can they lower energy bills in Rockford’s climate?
We offer ENERGY STAR® systems from Trane, Bryant, and Daikin ranging from 14.3 SEER2 budget models to 20+ SEER2 variable-speed units. Variable-speed compressors match output to Rockford’s fluctuating summer humidity, reducing power consumption by up to 40 % compared with 10-year-old 10 SEER units. Additional savings come from ECM indoor blowers, smart thermostats, and correct load calculations done with ACCA Manual J to prevent oversizing.
How quickly can you respond to an emergency AC breakdown during a Rockford heat wave?
Our emergency line is staffed 24/7/365. Calls received before 10 p.m. typically see a technician on site within two hours inside Rockford city limits and within three hours for surrounding Winnebago County. We stock common repair parts—capacitors, contactors, fan motors, and refrigerant—in each service van so most systems are restored in a single visit. There is no overtime labor charge for Precision Care Plan members.
Are financing, rebates, or tax incentives available for new AC installations?
Yes. We partner with Synchrony Bank and Service Finance to offer zero-interest plans up to 18 months and low-APR loans up to 120 months. ENERGY STAR qualified systems may earn $50–$100 per ton in ComEd instant rebates, and high-efficiency heat pumps may qualify for up to $2,000 in federal Inflation Reduction Act tax credits (IRS Form 5695). Our comfort advisor will prepare all paperwork so you capture every available incentive.
How often should my air conditioner be serviced and what does the maintenance visit include?
We recommend a tune-up every spring before sustained 80 °F weather arrives. Our 21-point inspection includes refrigerant charge verification, static pressure measurement, coil cleaning, condensate-drain flush, electrical testing, thermostat calibration, filter replacement, and written efficiency report. Regular maintenance can extend equipment life by 30 %, maintain factory warranties, and reduce unexpected summer breakdowns, particularly important in Rockford’s humid continental climate.
