Enjoying your summer here in Springfield gets a little tricky when your air conditioning (AC) system suddenly makes a noise you’ve never heard before.

Here in Illinois, we also call these systems mini-splits, multi-splits, and variable refrigerant flow systems. Call MB Heating & Cooling Inc. for a recommendation from one of our heating and cooling professionals on where a ductless air conditioner might work best in the room you think could use some cooling help.

When an AC turns on and off in rather quick successions, without running for longer periods, this is called short cycling. It’s fairly common, but when this happens it means there’s something wrong with your air conditioner. So what should you do?

To help with the hot weather, you will want to know the top causes of air conditioner failures and what to do to prevent or address them.

Did you accidentally stumble upon your air conditioning (AC) unit’s “winter weather” setting? Nope. You’re probably experiencing a freeze-up. If you’ve noticed a thin layer of ice on the outside of your AC unit, don’t panic. Freeze-ups are an incredibly common issue. Most central air systems will experience one at some point.  Remember that prevention…

It is no secret that your oven will toast your house up and cooking on a cold day is nice sometimes, but on a hot day it will warm your house up in an unnecessary way. Try to utilize the opportunity you might have to cook outside.

An air conditioner (AC), just like a car, needs regular maintenance and service to run efficiently. At MB Heating & Cooling, we recommend getting your air conditioning unit serviced and cleaned at least once a year. The optimum time is in the spring to ensure your system will run with the most efficiency during the hottest summer months. You need to be able to rely on your air conditioner for your comfort here in Springfield.
