Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I have my AC serviced if I live in Des Plaines?

Once a year is the standard recommendation, and spring is typically the best time to schedule it before the heat and humidity of an Illinois summer arrive. A tune-up helps your system run efficiently and can catch small issues before they turn into larger repairs. You can schedule a visit online at any time that works for you.

My air conditioner is running but not cooling my home well. What could be causing that?

There are several possibilities, including a dirty filter, low refrigerant, a failing compressor, or issues with airflow through your ductwork. The best way to know for sure is to have a technician run a proper diagnostic. Our team can identify the root cause and walk you through what it would take to get things back to normal. Learn more about our air conditioning services or book an appointment today.

How do I know if it is better to repair my AC or replace it entirely?

A good rule of thumb is to weigh the cost of the repair against the age and overall condition of the system. If your unit is more than 12 to 15 years old and repairs are becoming more frequent, a replacement often makes more financial sense over time. Our technicians will give you an honest assessment without any pressure so you can make the decision that fits your situation and budget.

Do you offer emergency AC service for Des Plaines residents?

Yes, we do. When your air conditioning stops working during a stretch of hot weather, waiting is not always an option. McNally’s offers emergency HVAC services to help get your home or business back to a comfortable temperature as quickly as possible. You can find more details on our emergency services page.

Can poor indoor air quality be related to my air conditioning system?

It can, yes. Your AC system circulates air throughout your home, and if filters are clogged, ducts are dirty, or humidity levels are not being managed properly, it can affect the air you breathe every day. We offer air purifying solutions and air duct cleaning that work alongside your cooling system to improve overall indoor comfort.
