HVAC Maintenance & More!

Serving Joliet, IL & Surrounding Areas

Why Tune-Ups & Maintenance are so important to your HVAC System

Ask yourself… Would you drive a car for 30,000 miles without an oil change? It may still operate, but the real question is, what’s the cost of running it for that long without an oil change? It causes potential irreversible damage to the engine and transmission. The chance of failure greatly increases.

This is the same concept with furnaces or air conditioners. Your furnace and ac system are like driving a car 10,000 miles a year. A furnace running without maintenance can cause damage to everything from the minor components such as sensors and ignitors, to much larger components such as heat exchangers or motors.

An air conditioner is no different. The air conditioning system gets beat every year with the outdoor conditions and operates the longest during the hottest days of the year! Failure to maintain it properly can lead to significantly higher energy bills, failure of the unit, and a very hot and humid house.

Did you know, a poorly maintained A/C unit often leads to refrigerant leaks? This is because a dirty A/C leads to increased pressure in the unit. Increased pressure means the chance of joint failure is increased. Don’t put off air conditioner or furnace repair! Call the experts from Minooka, IL before problems become worse.

I highly recommend ComfortMax! They have been outstanding to work with! Emmanuel is very knowledgeable, patient, professional and honest. We are very happy with the installation of our new ac unit, furnace and hot water heater. The installation team worked efficiently & did a fantastic job! Mark has also been very helpful. We will continue to use them for all our heating/cooling needs!

I needed a new furnace and AC and Comfort MAX had them both installed and up and running within 2 days from my ordering. They were professional and easy to work with. I highly recommend Comfort MAX to anyone who is needing a new furnace or Air Conditioner.

l. ramos

I have used ComfortMax on 4 different occasions and everyone that has come out has been professional and extremely helpful in answering questions and helping me understand what they are doing. Mark even tried to help me trouble shoot my issues over the phone for free vs sending a tech out. I will use ComfortMax for all my HVAC needs and will also recommend them to anyone that inquires. Great Job being a true professional service company!

Words can not express the gratitude I have for this company. Emmanuel, Mark & the rest of the team, I appreciate everything that you guys did. Emmanuel I certainly appreciate you, because you made sure to stay in contact with me to make sure my family was doing ok during those below zero days, even before I made up my mind on whether or not I was going to use this company. Finally made up my mind, contacted Comfortmax and scheduled installation for all 3 service(water heater, a/c & furnace). These men are very professional, neat, organized & have a sense of urgency without jeopardizing their quality of work. If you are in need of repairs or installation of hvac service, COMFORTMAX is the company to trust. Thank you, thank you, thank u and may your business continue to prosper…..

s. williams

The team at ComfortMax was amazing! During the quote process they presented me with several options from fixing current AC unit to several replacement options. They clearly explained the benefits & downside to all options. Ultimately they offered a really fair price on a replacement option we decided to go with. Upon installation their team was on time, friendly, & knowledgeable taking the time to teach us the digital unit along with the best ways to protect our unit. Overall, I would highly recommend them for service!

R. tohill

ComfortMax is a great HVAC company. Our technician, Malcolm, was terrific. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and communicative about our furnace tune-up and water tank tune-up. Thank you for your reliable service.

j. johnson

Our C/A went out on one of the hottest days of the summer. I called ComfortMax at 8:00am when they opened and requested an appointment. I was a new customer so I wasn’t sure how quickly they could come out. I was scheduled between 9-11am, Malcolm showed up at 9:00 showed me what part was not working and replaced it. He then cleaned and checked our unit. He was finished by 10-10:30. I was very pleased with the company.

w. moore

My AC stopped working last night and Mark came to the rescue. Glad I was recommended to ComfortMax! Honest and trustworthy company. I will definitely be going to them for all future needs. Thank you again Mark!
