Carlson Heating, Cooling & HVAC is a company that prides itself in having the highest level of customer care. Our team of Machesney Park HVAC specialists will complete any project with ease. We serve Machesney Park and the surrounding areas. Sorry but we do not work on Boilers or Air Duct Cleaning.

"I’ve used Carlson Heating & Cooling twice and have been very satisfied both times. In 2024, I had them inspect my furnace and AC. They arrived on time, were professional, and gave my system a clean bill of health—without recommending any unnecessary repairs. In 2005, when my AC stopped working, they quickly diagnosed a dead compressor and recommended a replacement. Impressively, they waived the $225 charge for the initial visit and parts. The replacement was completed on schedule, exactly within the estimated cost. The technicians were friendly, informative, and professional throughout the process. They also cleaned up thoroughly, leaving no mess behind. I trust Carlson Heating & Cooling completely and will continue to use them for future service. I highly recommend them to anyone needing a system check-up, repair, or replacement."

"My case was an urgent one, and the Improved Comfort Heating & Air Conditioning team resolved the issue promptly and effectively that same day. It happened to be Halloween, a day when HOA staff usually leave early, yet their responsiveness was exceptional. When I called Mahdi to inform him of the situation, he arrived as quickly as possible despite the heavy traffic and repaired the heating system efficiently. Their office staff also kept me well informed about his schedule and handled everything with great professionalism. I truly appreciate their outstanding service and have added the company to my trusted list."

Heating and Air Conditioning questions, answered by experts

One of the fastest ways to unfreeze an AC unit is to turn off the unit and, if it’s warm outside, use the fan-only mode to help blow warmer air through the unit to speed up the defrosting process. While it may be tempting to use a hair dryer to defrost the air conditioner, that high heat can damage the coils.

After defrosting, if you can safely solve the issue with a fix like changing the filter, go ahead and do so. Otherwise, call in a pro before turning your AC back on.

To reset your air conditioner, start by turning it off at the thermostat. Then, shut off power to the AC system at the circuit breaker. Next, find the “reset” button on your AC unit and hold it for three to five seconds. The unit should beep several times. If your air conditioner doesn’t have a reset button, leave the circuit breaker off for 30 minutes. Afterward, turn the power back on at the breaker and program the thermostat to “cool” to test the system.

Air conditioners can stop working in the middle of the night for many reasons. Your local power grid might shut down late at night. Power surges can also trip your breakers if too much power is being used in the area at the time. If your AC is connected to a digital thermostat, it gets naturally cooler at night, so the outdoor temperature might dip below the automated setting to turn the cooling system off.

Choosing between a ductless mini-split and central AC depends on your specific needs. Ductless mini-splits are ideal for targeted cooling, providing zoned comfort and energy efficiency. They are perfect for smaller spaces or homes lacking ductwork. In contrast, central AC offers consistent cooling throughout the entire house but requires ductwork and may be less energy-efficient for smaller spaces. 

Consider factors like budget, home size, and cooling preferences to make the right choice. Combining both systems, with a ductless mini-split in specific areas, can also be a viable solution for tailored comfort and overall efficiency.

If your central AC is not blowing cold air, you should try resetting the system. Many systems have a reset button. Make sure your thermostat is off, then turn off the circuit breaker that powers your AC. Hold the reset button for three to five seconds, then turn the circuit back on. Set your thermostat to cool and choose a temperature cooler than the room. Your system should turn on quickly.
