Air Conditioning Services in Batavia, IL | State Automatic

In Batavia, summer isn’t just about heat; it’s about humidity. When the Fox Valley heats up, our homes become pressure cookers. Sticky, heavy air trapped inside historic brick homes or modern tight-envelope subdivisions creates an environment ripe for mold, dust mites, and sleepless nights. At State Automatic Heating & Cooling, we don’t just “chill” the air—we condition it. Since 1929, we have engineered cooling solutions that master the unique psychrometrics of our humid continental climate.

The Science of Summer Comfort

Many homeowners believe a bigger air conditioner is better. They are wrong. An oversized AC unit cools the house too quickly, shutting off before it has removed the humidity. This leaves you cold but “clammy.”

We install perfectly sized Carrier systems that run longer cycles at lower speeds. This continuous airflow acts like a sponge, scrubbing moisture from the air until your home feels crisp, dry, and refreshing—even at 75°F. Learn more about central air conditioning efficiency.

Batavia Challenges: The “Cottonwood” Factor

If you live near the Fox River or in heavily wooded areas like Tanglewood, you know the “summer snow”—cottonwood seeds. These fuzzy seeds are drawn into your AC condenser like a magnet. They form a thick mat that suffocates your unit, causing head pressures to skyrocket and compressors to fail. We specialize in high-pressure chemical cleaning that safely dissolves this organic matter without damaging delicate aluminum fins, restoring your unit to factory efficiency.

SEER2 and Energy Efficiency

As of 2023, the Department of Energy implemented strict new SEER2 (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) standards. State Automatic is ahead of the curve. We install high-efficiency systems up to 26 SEER2 that not only meet federal mandates but also qualify for ComEd rebates and Federal Tax Credits (Inflation Reduction Act). Replacing a 10-year-old 10 SEER unit with a modern Carrier Infinity system can cut your cooling costs by 50%.

The Carrier Infinity™ Difference

As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer (a distinction held by less than 5% of dealers nationwide), we offer the pinnacle of cooling technology. The Infinity™ System uses Greenspeed™ Intelligence to adapt its cooling output in 1% increments. It doesn’t just turn “on” or “off”; it cruises, maintaining your set temperature with laser precision while operating as quietly as a whisper.

AC FAQs

Why is my AC running but not cooling?

This is often caused by a dirty air filter, a frozen evaporator coil (due to low airflow), or a refrigerant leak. Turn the system off immediately to prevent compressor damage and call us for a diagnostic.

What is SEER2?

SEER2 is the new federal standard for measuring AC efficiency. It uses a stricter testing procedure that better simulates real-world conditions (like high static pressure in ducts). Higher SEER2 ratings mean lower electric bills.

How do I know if my AC is too old?

Most AC units last 12-15 years. If your system uses old R-22 Freon (phased out), has had multiple repairs, or makes loud grinding noises, it is likely time to replace it with a modern, high-efficiency system.
