"Broke electrical line to yard light. Said they are not responsible. Also, someone there said to call back to arrange to get it fixed. When I did, was told they do not do electrical work in Champaign. My wife had informed the technician of underground wire before work began. In addition, can not close closet door because of Jack hammering that was done. As a result, dust was all throughout the house."

In business since 2005, you can rely on us to provide you with comprehensive heating and cooling services. Our locally and family-owned and operated business has over 25 years of experience in the industry.

"Installed new AC and heater unit in April 2023. Had used Garrett prior as I found them reasonably priced. After the install, numerous safety/code violations were found when the unit was inspected. Among them were not adding a safety drip pan under the furnace, not installing a coil condensate drain correctly, running a flexible gas line into the furnace cabinet (a code violation), not terminating the electric correctly (a code violation), leaving exposed wires on the AC unit outside. The new owner claims it's not his responsibility to fix these issues. I'd steer away and go with someone that wants to back up their work (sorry, it's your work if you buy the company). Update as of 01/15/2025 Response to review and company response Jan 2025. Company DID NOT come out or even reach out to me regarding this. Tape and duct work repairs? When did you come to my house? Shows how dishonest this company is. Stay clear. Only excuses from this company (for example. we bought our business in 2024, not our problem!)"

Tiger Plumbing, Heating, Air Conditioning, & Electrical Services takes pride in being your preferred local plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians! In fact, more homeowners in the St. Louis Metro East & Central Illinois communities we serve, say they would call us again before any other plumbing, electrical, heating, or air conditioning service!

"My technician Keith was great. Friendly and super informative. Also too a quick look at the entire drainage system and gave my an idea of where problems will pop up the future without preventative measures (my home was built in the 50s and while the previous owners took really good care of the house nothing has been gutted and replaced yet)."

Central a/c service or repairs FAQs

An evaporator coil is a crucial component of your air conditioning system, responsible for cooling the air inside your home. It absorbs heat from the indoor air, allowing the system to blow cool air through your vents. Keeping your AC well-maintained helps it run efficiently and can save you money on energy bills.

AC condensers can present a variety of common problems, including dirt and debris accumulation, drain blockages, and water leaks. Leaking refrigerant, faulty electrical components, damaged coils, and burnt-out motors can indicate more complex repair needs.

Some of these issues can be easily fixed, while others may require a total unit replacement. For the most accurate assessment, contact an AC contractor in your area.

The AC coils typically last the lifetime of your system, ranging from 10 to 20 years, depending on factors such as maintenance, quality, and other variables. Have your AC condenser coils inspected and cleaned periodically to maximize their lifespan and optimize cooling performance. Ask your HVAC pro for recommendations on how to stay on top of all critical AC maintenance.

Home warranties cover AC coils when the policy explicitly protects key HVAC components. This means that if an AC coil fails under the scope of your warranty, repair or replacement expenses are covered. Your warranty documentation confirms whether coil repairs are included, and manufacturer warranties protect both the AC condenser and its coils. It is important to review your contract details to know your exact coverage.

Warning signs that your AC condenser is failing include noticeable fluid leaks and loud, unusual noises. These indicators confirm that the condenser is under stress and its performance is compromised. Decreased cooling efficiency, uneven indoor temperatures, and increased energy consumption further signal that the unit is deteriorating. Recognizing these signs ensures you engage a professional for a thorough evaluation and prompt repair.
