Gough Heating & Air Conditioning

They say it takes 10,000 hours to master a skill. That means that if you work at it for 8 hours a day all 262 workdays of the year, it'll take you just under five years to develop that mastery. Here at Gough Heating and Air Conditioning, we've done just that. We've been working with heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems for fifty-two years now, servicing furnaces, air cleaners, heat pumps, boilers, humidifiers and dehumidifiers, ducts, and all the other equipment that makes up your home's HVAC system.

As anyone who's lived through a humid Chicagoland summer can attest, air conditioning is a must for any home in the region. When the sweltering season picks up and mosquitos and heat waves drive you indoors, the last thing you want is to be sweating through your clothes and sticking to the couch as you suffer in your sauna of a home. This is why it's all-important to have a well-functioning air conditioning unit. But it's not enough just get any old unit-it has to be effective, it has to be energy efficient, and it has to be properly taken care of.

Sometimes an improperly functioning HVAC system can seem like a matter of luxury or mere convenience-you're just a bit too warm in the summer, or the air is a bit too dry so your lips get chapped, or the air circulates in a way that doesn't reach certain spots. But nobody can argue that a malfunctioning furnace in the winter months can quickly become a matter of grave importance if not taken seriously and resolved in due time. There's a wide array of things that can go wrong with a furnace, from ignition control and pilot light problems, to a malfunctioning gas pressure regulator, to miscellaneous other mechanical issues.

More likely than not, you've at some point received offers in the mail for duct cleaning services, promising to clear all sorts of dust and grime lurking within the airways of your home. But while these heavily-marketed bargain duct cleaning offers make a lot of promises, it's important to do your research and see through the marketing before you come to a conclusion about what's best for you. Gough Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help you make that decision, and to offer our superior services should you decide to go forward with duct cleaning.
