Furnace Repairs in Elmhurst, IL

You need immediate help as soon as your furnace stops working during freezing, cold temperatures. Not only will the chilly air leave you feeling miserable and cold, but there is also always a chance your pipes could freeze. Basically, when there's not enough heat in your house, you run into all kinds of problems.

That said, why do furnaces break down? Our experts have reported several reasons for this fairly regular inconvenience. The fault is sometimes simple and other times complex. Here's a list of common problems that could affect your furnace:

• Clogged filter.
• Defective thermostat.
• Broken blower belt.
• Damaged blower motor.
• Bad limit switch.
• Faulty ignition system.
• Cracked heat exchanger.

Of course, the type of furnace will determine the common issues you can expect. An electric furnace won't have the same issues as an oil furnace because they operate differently. Another thing is that if your furnace seems to be blowing warm air and heating the house yet you hear a lot of racket going on when it's running, this could indicate a completely different type of problem.

Some noise is normal, but loud rattling or squealing noises could signal permanent damage in some part of the furnace or ductwork. The sooner you have a repair technician look at it, the better. Prompt action on your part will make certain the problem doesn't get worse. Also, nipping a problem in the bud can save you money in the long run and ensure you aren't suddenly stuck without heat in the dead of winter.

When your furnace is not operating properly, get in touch with Dahme Mechanical Industries. Our team is available 24 hours a day for emergency service. So, if you're out in the cold, don't stress it — Dahme is there for you!

HVAC Repairs in Elmhurst, IL

If you're like most people, when you walk into your home on a hot summer day, you count on being met by a blast of cool, refreshing air — that is, if the AC is working properly. It's quite a letdown if you come home from work only to be greeted by hot, humid air, which tells you the AC isn't working. And when it's warm all around indoors like that, you might strongly need an AC service technician to come out to your home.

Fortunately, Dahme Mechanical Industries is on the job year-round, 24/7. You can receive professional, friendly service for your faltering air conditioning unit even on the hottest days in summer. Some of the typical problems in ACs are:

• Malfunctioning thermostat.
• Clogged condensate line.
• Dirty register or filter.
• Problematic capacitor.

Whatever your AC problem is, don't delay contacting Dahme Mechanical. We'll repair your system and have it up and running in no time.
