Evanston, IL Cooling Services

Nothing’s better than walking through your front door and getting hit by a blast of cold air on a hot summer’s day. Ravinia Plumbing’s HVAC contractors offer a full range of cooling services to keep your HVAC system operating efficiently and reliably throughout the hot months. Our cooling services include:

Air Conditioning Maintenance

Air conditioners can last about 15-20 years, but only if regular maintenance is performed. You should schedule an AC tune-up once per year, preferably in the spring before the arrival of warmer weather. During a maintenance visit, your technician will clean the necessary components and ensure the unit operates safely. They can also catch minor issues before leading to more extensive, expensive repairs.

Air Conditioning Repair

Speaking of AC repair, it’s essential to have any issues checked out by an HVAC technician as soon as possible to limit the damage. Some common air conditioning repairs Ravinia Plumbing performs include refrigerant leaks, clogged condensate drain lines, failing blower motors, and bad capacitors.

Air Conditioning Installation

Although we want to put off buying a new air conditioner for as long as possible, like all mechanical devices, air conditioners have a shelf life. If your system is older, inefficient, or breaking down frequently, it’s time to consider air conditioner replacement services.

Ductless Mini Splits

A ductless mini split heat pump system differs from a traditional HVAC system because it can provide heating and cooling for year-round comfort. Ductless mini splits consist of an outdoor unit and multiple indoor air handling units installed throughout different rooms in your home. Each air handler is controlled separately by its thermostat, allowing you to create temperature zones across your home.

Evanston Heating Services

A reliable heating system is necessary during the chilly, snowy Evanston, IL, winters. The technicians at Ravinia Plumbing can provide the following HVAC services for your heating system.

Furnace Maintenance 

Annual furnace maintenance in the fall before winter can help your unit run more efficiently and prevent untimely breakdowns on the year’s coldest days. Yearly maintenance will help your furnace last 15-20 years.

Furnace Repair

Just because your furnace breaks down doesn’t mean it needs to be replaced. Often, a simple furnace repair can get your unit back up and running again, especially for younger systems without a history of repairs.

Furnace Installation

All furnaces have an expiration date. Even if your furnace is hanging on by a thread, it is likely inefficient and causes high energy costs. If your unit is over the age of 15, breaking down frequently, or heating your home unevenly, it’s time to consider furnace replacement services. Contact Ravinia Plumbing to schedule service.

Other Heating Services

Ravinia Plumbing also offers maintenance, repair, and installation service for boilers and radiators, ductless mini splits, and radiant heating systems.

Indoor Air Quality Services

While keeping your Evanston, IL home adequately heated and cooled is vital, so is the quality of your home’s air. Indoor air can be 2 to 5 times more polluted than outside air.

Contaminants and pollutants in your indoor air supply can lead to health issues, especially asthma, allergies, and other respiratory problems. Humidity levels that are too high or too low can also lead to health issues and damage wood floors and furniture.

Ravinia Plumbing installs the following indoor air quality equipment for Evanston, IL, homeowners:

  • Air cleaners
  • Air purifiers
  • Humidifiers
  • Dehumidifiers
  • Air Duct Repair

Evanston, IL Plumbing Services

Major plumbing issues can wreak havoc and cost homeowners hundreds or thousands of dollars in repair or replacement bills. Don’t let plumbing issues linger – contact a licensed plumber when you notice a problem to help limit the damage.

Ravinia Plumbing has provided plumbing repair and installation services to Evanston, IL, residents since 1928. Our services include:

Backflow Valves

A backflow valve prevents wastewater from flowing backward into your potable water supply, causing contamination and pollution.

Garbage Disposals

Garbage disposals are hard-working devices that chew up food scraps that are put down the drain. Common garbage disposal repairs include clogs, leaks, strange noises, or bad smells. If your unit is over ten years old and has issues, replacing the disposal is probably better.

Gas Lines

Gas lines can be hazardous, so hiring an experienced company to repair or replace them is essential. Ravinia Plumbing offers the following gas line services:

  • Gas pressure testing
  • Gas line sizing
  • Gas line installation

Plumbing Fixtures

Are you looking to give your Evanston, IL home a cost-effective makeover? Consider giving your kitchen and bathrooms a facelift with new sinks, toilets, tubs, and showers.

Pipe Replacement & Repair

Since your plumbing pipes are usually located between walls and crawl spaces, it can often be challenging to know whether they need to be repaired or replaced. Look for the following signs that indicate repair or replacement is warranted:

  • Corroded pipes
  • Brown or discolored water
  • Poor water pressure
  • Frequent leaks
  • Loud or unusual noises from pipes

Water Heaters

Can you imagine a cold shower in the morning because of a broken water heater? We rely on our water heaters daily for bathing, cleaning, and cooking. Ravinia Plumbing can offer maintenance, repair, and installation services for traditional and tankless water heaters.

Sump Pumps

You need a properly functioning sump pump if you have a basement or crawlspace. Sump pumps are responsible for pumping excess water caused by heavy rains or plumbing emergencies out of your basement and away from your home.

Quality Sewer Services in Evanston, IL

Keeping your home’s sewer system in good shape is essential, as a clogged sewer line can lead to a disaster if sewage overflows into your toilets or tubs. You can count on Ravinia Plumbing for the following sewer services:

Sewer ejector pumps

Suppose you have a bathroom, washing machine, or plumbing fixture below the main sewer line, such as a basement bathroom. In that case, you need a sewer ejector pump to ensure wastewater flows upwards toward the main line and out of the home. Ravinia Plumbing can repair or replace sewer ejector pumps.

Sewer video inspection

A sewer video inspection involves fastening a video to a snake-like cable and inserting it into the sewer. This method allows plumbers to pinpoint the exact location of the clog to eliminate any guesswork.

Sewer rodding

During sewer rodding, your plumber will insert a flexible rod, tool, chemicals, or water into the sewer to clear out any clogs blocking the water flow.

Sewer excavation

Based on the sewer video inspection findings, you may need a section of the sewer line replaced. Sewer excavation involves using earth-moving equipment to dig a hole and locate the sewer line. From there, a repair or replacement can be made.
