Ac Repair in Burbank, IL

Clucas Mechanical provides fast, reliable AC repair in Burbank, IL—tailored to the homes and weather of the Southwest Chicago suburbs. If your air conditioner won’t cool, is leaking water, or keeps short-cycling, our licensed technicians arrive prepared to diagnose and fix the problem the right way. What makes AC repair in Burbank unique? Much of the local housing stock consists of 1950s–1970s ranches and bungalows with original or partially updated ductwork. That ductwork, plus additions and finished basements, can create comfort imbalances—hot upstairs, cold downstairs, weak airflow in far rooms. We don’t just swap parts; we look at airflow, static pressure, and equipment sizing so repairs solve the root cause. Common AC problems we fix: - AC not cooling or weak airflow - AC leaking water at the furnace or near the coil - Short cycling (starts and stops frequently) - Noisy outdoor unit or buzzing capacitor - Frozen evaporator coil - Tripped breaker or system won’t start - Thermostat issues and wiring faults DIY checks before you call: 1) Replace or clean your filter. A clogged filter starves airflow and can freeze the evaporator coil. 2) Check the thermostat mode and setpoint, and confirm the batteries (if applicable). 3) Ensure the outdoor unit is clear of debris and the disconnect is in. 4) Confirm breakers are on; if one was tripped, turn it fully off, then back on once only. What AC repair might cost in Burbank: - Diagnostic and tune-up: $89–$149 - Capacitor or contactor: $150–$350 - Refrigerant leak search and top-off: $350–$900 (R-410A pricing varies) - Condensate drain cleaning or pump replacement: $150–$450 - Blower motor or fan motor: $450–$900 - Control board or thermostat replacement: $300–$1,200 We provide a clear, written estimate after diagnosis so you can decide with confidence. If a repair isn’t cost-effective on an aging system, we’ll explain your options for AC replacement and potential energy savings.

Warranty & Guarantees: - 1-year workmanship warranty on repairs - Manufacturer warranty on parts - Honest recommendations—if we wouldn’t do it in our home, we won’t push it in yours Local climate & housing notes: Summers in Burbank bring sticky 80–90°F days, frequent thunderstorms, and heavy humidity. Many homes built mid-century have short supply runs and restrictive returns; that’s why you may hear us talk about filter sizes, return upgrades, or balancing dampers. These airflow tweaks, paired with a correct refrigerant charge and clean coils, can make a big difference in comfort and energy use. How long does AC repair take? Most fixes take 1–3 hours once the issue is identified. Complex electrical faults, severe icing, or refrigerant leaks can extend the timeline. We keep you updated every step of the way. Should I repair or replace? If your AC is 12–15 years old and needs a major component like a compressor or evaporator coil, we’ll compare repair costs against a replacement that could lower bills and improve comfort. We service all brands and install high-quality systems sized to your home’s needs. Ready to get cool air flowing again? Call (708) 674-3600 or schedule online.
