Air Conditioning Contractor in Justice, IL
We diagnose and repair air conditioning systems – not just sell new ones. Same-day service, honest answers, 13+ years in Justice.
In Justice, IL, a central AC breakdown in July isn’t a minor problem – it’s a same-day call. As your local air conditioning contractor, New Comfort Heating and Cooling provides AC repair and diagnostic services to Justice and nearby areas.
Each service below explains the problem, who it affects, and how the fix works. If your AC isn’t performing, we find out why – and we fix it the same day.
Our Air Conditioning Contractor Services
Central AC Repair
When your central air stops working, you need a fast answer – not a sales pitch. We diagnose compressor failures, fan motor problems, electrical faults, and control board issues. Most repairs get completed in a single visit.
Justice sits in the I-294 corridor. Many ranch homes and split-levels here date back to the 1960s and 1970s. These older systems need experienced hands, not guesswork. We work on all brands and models.
AC Not Cooling Fix
Your AC runs. The fan blows. But the air coming out isn’t cold. We check airflow, coil condition, compressor function, and thermostat calibration to isolate exactly why your unit runs without producing cold air.
Homes along Roberts Road and near the Marquette Park area often have ductwork routed through unconditioned crawlspaces. That hidden heat gain is a common cause – and it gets missed by less experienced techs.
AC Refrigerant Recharge
If you see ice forming on your outdoor unit or refrigerant lines, your system is likely low on charge. We locate the leak first, repair it, then recharge your AC to factory specs. A recharge without a leak repair is a temporary fix that wastes your money.
Justice homes see refrigerant issues spike in late June and July when systems run at full load for weeks straight. Sustained pressure exposes weak joints and aging service valves. We handle the full recharge and leak repair in one visit.
Warning Signs It Is Time to Call an Air Conditioning Contractor
Most AC failures give some warning first. Catching them early usually means a smaller AC repair bill and fewer nights in a hot house. Call an air conditioning contractor if you notice any of these:
Warm air from the vents even though the outdoor unit is running. Short cycling – the system turns on and off every few minutes. Ice on the copper lines or the indoor coil. New noises such as buzzing, clicking, grinding, or squealing. Water pooling around the furnace or a wet ceiling below the coil.
Rising electric bills with no change in your habits, rooms that never reach the set temperature, and a musty smell when the AC starts are also worth a look. If the outdoor unit hums but the fan does not spin, turn the system off at the thermostat and call us – running it that way can damage the compressor.

More AC Repairs We Handle Every Summer
Capacitor & Contactor Repair
Capacitors and contactors are the parts that start your compressor and fan. Heat, power surges, and age wear them out, and they are among the most common AC repair calls we run.
The photo shows melted wiring at a failed capacitor on a Palos Heights job. Left alone, a fault like this can take out the compressor. Replacing the part and the damaged wire is a quick, affordable fix.
Condenser Coil Cleaning
Cottonwood, grass clippings, and dust pack into the outdoor coil every summer. A clogged coil cannot release heat, so pressures climb and the compressor works harder.
We clean the coil from the inside out, straighten bent fins, and check the charge afterward. On many service calls, a dirty coil is the real reason the AC stopped keeping up.
Pressure & Leak Testing
Gauges tell us what the refrigerant is doing inside the system. High or low pressures point to a leak, a restriction, a bad metering device, or a failing compressor.
We read the pressures alongside temperature measurements so the diagnosis is based on data, not a hunch. That is how we avoid throwing parts at a problem.
What to Expect When Our Air Conditioning Contractor Arrives
Every AC repair visit follows the same order. First we ask what you have noticed – sounds, smells, when it started, and whether anything changed recently. Then we check the thermostat, filter, breakers, and drain line before opening up the equipment.
Next we test the electrical parts, measure refrigerant pressures and temperatures, and inspect the coils and blower. Once we find the cause, we explain it in plain language, show you the failed part when we can, and give you the price before any work starts.
Most repairs are finished the same day because our trucks carry common parts. If a part has to be ordered, we tell you how long it will take and what we can do in the meantime to keep the house comfortable.
How to Choose an Air Conditioning Contractor You Can Trust
Price matters, but it should not be the only thing you compare. A good air conditioning contractor diagnoses before quoting, puts the price in writing, and explains whether a repair or a replacement makes more sense – and why.
Ask who will actually do the work and whether they handle refrigerant. Anyone who works with AC refrigerant must be certified under the EPA Section 608 program, and old refrigerant has to be recovered, not vented.
Finally, look for a contractor who is close by and answers the phone. We are based in Justice and offer 24/7 emergency service. If your system is past saving, our central AC replacement team can take over, and our emergency HVAC service covers nights and weekends.
“We build our name on trust and that trust is based on years of experience and quality of work we provide.”

Frequently Asked Questions
+
Most AC repair calls in Justice receive same-day service. We’re based right here in Justice so our response time is faster than companies driving in from outside the area. Emergency calls are dispatched 24/7.
+
Common causes include low refrigerant, a dirty evaporator coil, a failing compressor, or a thermostat miscalibration. Ductwork routed through unconditioned spaces can also cause warm air. We run a full diagnostic to pinpoint the exact issue.
+
Cost depends on the type of refrigerant and whether there’s a leak to repair. R-410A systems are straightforward. R-22 systems cost more because the refrigerant has been phased out. We always locate and fix the leak before recharging – otherwise you’re paying for the same problem twice.
+
Yes. We service all major brands including Carrier, Lennox, Trane, Rheem, Ruud, Goodman, Amana, York, and more. Our technicians are NATE-certified and trained to work on any residential or light commercial AC system.
+
We always try to repair first. If your system is under 15 years old and the repair cost is reasonable, fixing it makes sense. We’ll tell you honestly when a replacement is the better investment – we don’t push new equipment when a repair will do.
+
Ice on the coil or lines usually means low airflow or low refrigerant. A clogged filter, a dirty evaporator coil, closed vents, or a weak blower can all starve the coil of air. Turn the system off, let it thaw, replace the filter, and call us if it freezes again.
+
It is better to shut it off. Grinding, screeching, or loud buzzing often means a failing motor, a loose part, or an electrical problem. Running the unit can turn a small AC repair into a compressor replacement. Call an air conditioning contractor and describe the sound.
+
Check your thermostat settings, make sure the breaker hasn’t tripped, and replace your air filter if it’s dirty. If none of that helps, call us. These simple checks save you a service call about 10% of the time.
