If you live in Addison, you know how tough Illinois summers can be, especially when your air conditioner starts blowing warm air, making strange noises, or stops working altogether. Many homes near the Villa Park Road corridor were built in the 1960s and 70s, and older AC systems can develop worn parts and performance issues after years of handling the heat and humidity. When you need dependable AC repair, Leith Heating and Cooling is here to help.

Our team arrives promptly, finds the cause of the problem, and explains the repair in clear, simple terms. We also provide upfront pricing before any work begins, so you know exactly what to expect before we get your cooling system back on track.

AC Problems Addison Homeowners Call Us About Most

Addison summers push air conditioners hard. These are the repair issues we handle most often:

  • Refrigerant leaks causing warm air and rising energy costs
  • Frozen evaporator coils from blocked airflow or low refrigerant
  • Failed capacitors preventing compressor or fan startup
  • Clogged condenser coils reducing system output
  • Thermostat faults sending incorrect temperature signals
  • Worn compressors in older or neglected units

Some minor AC issues may be worth checking on your own first, especially if the problem involves a thermostat setting, dirty filter, or tripped breaker. Our DIY AC repair guide covers a few simple troubleshooting steps homeowners can try safely.

If the problem continues, our NATE-certified technicians can diagnose the issue and provide the right AC repair to get your system cooling properly again.

How We Helped an Addison Family Stay Cool

A homeowner near Addison Road called us on one of the hottest days of the year after her upstairs bedrooms had been uncomfortable for nearly a week. Our technician found a failed capacitor paired with low refrigerant — two separate issues compounding each other. He replaced the capacitor, corrected the charge, and tested the system thoroughly. By that evening the second floor was cooling again.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an AC repair typically take in Addison?
Most repairs are completed in one to three hours during a single visit. If a part needs to be ordered, we schedule a follow-up quickly and keep you informed on timing.
If your system is over 12 to 15 years old, needs repeated repairs, or cannot keep up on the hottest days, replacement may be more cost-effective. Our technicians give you an honest assessment of both options.
Yes. We service ductless mini-splits including refrigerant recharging, component repair, and diagnostic work. If your mini-split is not cooling properly, call us to schedule a visit.

A severely clogged filter restricts airflow enough to freeze the evaporator coil and shut down cooling. Replacing filters regularly is one of the easiest ways to prevent unnecessary service calls.

We recommend a professional tune-up once a year, ideally in spring before the cooling season begins. Preventive maintenance catches small problems early and keeps your system running efficiently all summer.
