Chicago summers can be sweltering, and you need an experienced Air Conditioning Contractor to ensure your home stays cool and dehumidified.

Air Conditioning Repair Service
Is your AC blowing warm air or making strange noises? Our professional Air Conditioning Repair Service is here to restore your comfort fast. We troubleshoot and fix all common AC problems, including refrigerant leaks, frozen evaporator coils, failed capacitors, and clogged condensate drains. We know that in a Chicago heatwave, every hour without AC feels like an eternity.
We pride ourselves on accurate diagnostics. Instead of just adding refrigerant to a leaking system (which is a temporary fix), we locate and repair the leak to prevent future breakdowns. Our technicians are trained to work on all major AC brands and carry the necessary tools to perform complex repairs on the spot.
Regular maintenance can prevent many repairs, but when a breakdown happens, you can count on Bernie's. We offer same-day service appointments and prioritize customers with health concerns or elderly family members during extreme heat events. Trust us to get your home cool and comfortable again quickly and affordably.
