Darien AC
Nortek Provides the Best AC Services in Darien
Most residents of Darien love living here. And, why not? The area has most everything you could want, including plenty of activities and locations for you and the entire family to enjoy.

Having no functioning AC system in your home means uncomfortable days and sticky, sleepless nights. You want your home to be an oasis of relief, not a miserable oven.
Luckily, Nortek can help you get through hot summers in Darien. At Nortek, we believe that you deserve to be comfortable. Our Darien-area AC experts will do everything we can to bring cool air and comfort back into your life.

AC Installs Done RightCooling with a Heat Pump
If you cool your Darien home with a heat pump, Nortek can help you, too! Long used in more moderate southern climates, technology has improved the ability of heat pumps to both heat and cool in the north as well. Because these systems work year-round to provide efficient comfort, heat pump maintenance is recommended in spring and fall before the cooling and heating seasons begin. This will help ensure the efficiency for which they are known. We also provide heat pump repair and replacement, and we can help you convert to a heat pump system if you’re ready to make the move.
All Heat Pump ServicesConsider Ductless Air Conditioning
Not every building in Darien is a good fit for central air conditioning. Maybe your home doesn’t have the space to install ductwork, or you need to cool a separate structure like a workshop.
The most efficient option for cooling a space without ductwork is a ductless mini-split system. Ductless mini-splits are highly versatile and can be installed to cool individual rooms with much greater precision and control than central AC. For example, if you have a room you would like to keep cooler than the rest of the house, a mini-split is an excellent addition.
If you’re ready to try effective, targeted cooling, call (630) 548-1500 to have us install a ductless mini-split for you!

Explore Commercial HVACWhen Should You Replace Your AC System in Darien?
- When It’s More than 10-15 Years Old
- When your AC system is 10 years old, occasionally spot-check its performance. Is it starting to blow warm air? Is it ever unreliable? Does it make strange noises or give off odd smells? These are things you shouldn’t ignore. Just like our bodies age, so do mechanical systems. Good maintenance and timely repairs can lead to a longer lifespan. Eventually, however, your system will need to be replaced. If you are concerned about the performance of your aging AC system, get in touch with us at (630) 548-1500.
- When Repairs are Piling Up
- If your AC system is repeatedly breaking down and repair costs are mounting, a new system may be a more cost-effective investment. Expensive repairs to parts like your capacitor or evaporator coil add up quickly in Darien, making the decision easier. While installing a new AC system can be expensive, there are significant pros: it provides increased reliability, uses less energy, and repair costs will grind to a halt. Nortek can answer your questions and provide you with a quote. Reach out to us at (630) 548-1500 to get started!
- When Your Energy Bills Are High
- The energy your AC system consumes depends on its age and condition, your location, the season, and the size of the space you are cooling. However, if your system is older and your energy bills are unusually high, get your AC inspected by a Darien AC professional. Unless an obvious, repairable cause is found, it may be that your system is simply succumbing to age. If so, the best way to address this is to get a new, ENERGY STAR-rated system. ENERGY STAR-rated systems’ energy efficiency is not only good for the environment but also easy on your wallet.
- When the Air Compressor Dies
- As the powerhouse of any central AC, your compressor is typically the most expensive part to replace. That is why it can be worthwhile to consider replacement if your compressor goes out. Of course, other factors will also affect your decision, including the age of your system, whether it is still under warranty, and, if possible, determining the cause of the failure. With this information, you can make the best decision on whether to replace your entire AC system. Whether you need a new compressor or an entirely new AC system, get in touch with us at (630) 548-1500.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much will it cost for a Nortek tech to service my AC in Darien?
While we would like to be able to provide customers with a price over the phone, that simply isn’t possible. The cost of AC repairs in Darien can vary significantly depending on the severity of the problem. One of our technicians will need to inspect your AC system before providing a quote. Although we cannot provide a quote until we identify your specific issue, we can assure you that our prices will be fair and competitive.
Does Nortek have emergency service hours for Darien?
Yes, we offer emergency AC services! Nortek knows all too well that AC systems never break down at a convenient time, and we would never expect you to deal with the summer heat longer than necessary. If you’re feeling the heat in Darien outside of office hours, call us at (630) 548-1500. We always answer and provide 24/7 emergency service.
Is Nortek pet friendly?
Absolutely, Nortek’s techs are always happy to make new furry friends. In fact, we often have some of our own pets spending time at the office. We’ll gladly say hello to your pets when we arrive and goodbye when we leave, but we request they not be underfoot while we’re working for safety reasons. To schedule a pet-friendly AC technician, contact us at (630) 548-1500!
Should I Set My Thermostat to 'Auto' or 'On'?
For Darien residents who want to keep utility bills low and don’t mind their home feeling a bit warmer, setting the thermostat to ‘Auto’ is preferable. This means that your air conditioner's fan only turns on when the thermostat reaches the set temperature. If you can’t stand the heat and don’t mind spending more to cool your space, ‘On’ is the setting for you.
Should I Be Worried if My AC Unit Is Leaking Condensation?
Your air conditioner removes humidity from the air as part of the cooling process, so a little condensation is to be expected. However, large puddles or an ongoing drip are signs of an issue with your air conditioner. Typical causes of leaks include a lack of refrigerant, problems with the initial installation, dirty filters, and clogged condensate lines. If the amount of leaking seems excessive, contact Nortek to check for issues and prevent potential damage.
Does Nortek offer any discounts for AC services in Darien?
Nortek understands that a limited budget can get in the way of needed AC repair or replacement. To help save money, we can point you to manufacturer promotions (when available), various rebates, our discount coupons, and financing options.
