If your old system keeps breaking down or your energy bills keep climbing, a new cooling system might be the smarter move. We help you choose the right-sized unit for your home, handle the full installation, and make sure everything runs properly before we leave. A correctly installed system cools more evenly and runs more efficiently than one that's been patched together over the years.

A new furnace is a significant home investment, and proper installation makes all the difference in how well it performs and how long it lasts. We size the unit to match your home's actual heating load, connect it correctly to your ductwork, and test the system thoroughly. Rushing that process leads to uneven heating and early breakdowns—we take the time to do it right.
Get helpHeat pumps handle both heating and cooling, which makes them efficient but also means two seasons of wear on one system. Whether your heat pump is losing efficiency, struggling in cold weather, or making unusual noises, Resolute Kestrel HVAC Works can diagnose and repair it. Regular heat pump service keeps the system transferring heat effectively and helps catch small issues before they grow.

A thermostat that doesn't read temperatures accurately, or one that can't be programmed to fit your schedule, wastes energy every single day. We install and configure manual, programmable, and smart thermostats, making sure they communicate properly with your heating and cooling equipment. A well-matched, correctly wired thermostat is one of the simplest ways to get better comfort and more consistent HVAC performance.

Resolute Kestrel HVAC Works inspects ductwork for gaps, disconnections, and buildup that restrict airflow. Sealing and repairing ducts can help improve comfort in rooms that always seem too hot or too cold no matter what the thermostat says.
Get helpHeating and cooling equipment lasts longer and performs better with regular tune-ups. Before summer, we check your AC; before winter, we go through your furnace or heat pump. HVAC maintenance visits cover cleaning, inspections, and adjustments that can help identify developing problems early. Staying on a maintenance schedule is one of the most practical things a Des Plaines homeowner can do to avoid mid-season breakdowns.

Condensate drainage issues, frozen coils, or damaged drain components are common possibilities.
