HVAC systems should be maintained at least twice a year—once before cooling season and once before heating season. Seasonal tune-ups help prevent breakdowns, improve efficiency, and extend equipment lifespan. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, our comprehensive maintenance plans include inspections and preventive care to keep your system running smoothly year-round.

Common causes include thermostat malfunctions, clogged filters restricting airflow, ignition problems, or faulty limit switches. Electrical issues and gas supply interruptions can also trigger sudden failures. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, our certified technicians diagnose all major HVAC brands quickly and offer same-day repair options when possible.

Yes, professional air duct cleaning removes accumulated dust, debris, allergens, and contaminants that circulate through your ventilation system. This improves indoor air quality and can enhance HVAC efficiency by allowing better airflow. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, we recommend duct cleaning every three to five years for healthier home environments.

Most air conditioners last 12 to 15 years with proper maintenance. Consider replacement if your unit needs frequent repairs, uses R-22 refrigerant, or struggles to cool your home efficiently. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, we specialize in Trane installations and provide free estimates to help Rockford homeowners make informed decisions.

Installation costs depend on system size, equipment brand and efficiency rating, ductwork modifications, and property type. Larger homes or commercial properties typically require more powerful systems. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, we offer financing options and free estimates to help residential and commercial clients budget for quality Trane equipment.

Humidity control systems add or remove moisture from indoor air to maintain comfortable levels between 30 and 50 percent. Whole-home humidifiers prevent dryness in winter, while dehumidifiers reduce excess moisture in summer. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, we install ventilation improvements and humidity solutions tailored to Rockford's climate conditions.

Yes, clogged filters restrict airflow, forcing your furnace to work harder and overheat. This can damage the heat exchanger, blower motor, or limit switch over time. Regular filter changes—typically every one to three months—prevent costly repairs and maintain efficient operation.

Comprehensive inspections assess performance, check electrical connections, test thermostat accuracy, inspect heat exchangers or coils, and evaluate airflow. Technicians also identify potential safety issues and recommend repairs or adjustments. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, our inspections ensure your heating and cooling equipment operates safely and efficiently.

Air conditioners freeze when airflow is restricted by dirty filters, blocked vents, or low refrigerant levels. Thermostat problems or blower fan failures can also cause ice buildup. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, our expert diagnostics identify the root cause quickly, and we offer emergency repair services for Rockford area homes.

Skipping regular maintenance is the most common mistake, leading to breakdowns, higher energy bills, and shortened equipment lifespan. Neglecting filter changes and ignoring warning signs like strange noises also cause preventable damage. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, our maintenance plans provide seasonal tune-ups that protect your investment year-round.

Yes, advanced air purification systems use UV light, HEPA filters, or ionization technology to capture or neutralize airborne viruses, bacteria, and allergens. These systems significantly improve indoor air quality, especially for homes with allergies or respiratory concerns. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, we install solutions tailored to your specific health and comfort needs.

Rockford's cold winters place heavy demands on furnaces, increasing wear and the risk of breakdowns during peak usage. Ice and snow can also block outdoor vents or intake pipes. At Bomar Heating and Cooling, we recommend pre-winter inspections and tune-ups to ensure your furnace handles Illinois temperatures reliably all season long.
