When Walter Mehrholz, founder of All Temp Heating & Air Conditioning Company, first opened his HVAC business back in 1938, most Chicagoans could not imagine a future of year ’round ideal indoor comfort. But here we are, 73 years later, enjoying the most advanced air conditioning to keep us cool during hot Chicago summers, and high-efficient furnaces to keep us warm and toasty when the icy Chicago winter winds blow.

Today, All Temp is Chicagoland’s most trusted company for residential indoor comfort equipment and service, and the largest, leading Bryant dealership in the country. From Evanston to Naperville, Chicago’s south suburbs to the North Shore, All Temp’s reputation for excellence and customer satisfaction continues to grow… by the hour. With more than 659,000,000 hours on the job, few Chicago companies can claim more experience. All Temp’s highly trained technicians have solved thousands of equipment problems—repaired thousands of furnaces and air conditioners–sold and installed a multitude of comfort equipment to keep Chicagoans in their comfort zone. The service, technology and savings behind the Bryant products they sell makes All Temp the #1 choice for home comfort quality.

Yet, some things have not changed in 73 years. The company is still a family-run business, today spearheaded by Walter’s grandson, Robbie Mehrholz. And the company still offers free in-home estimates and stands behind every single sale and service they provide to Chicagoans.

If you own an older a/c in Chicago, let’s say 10 years old or older, you might consider replacing your Chicago Air Conditioner rather than repairing it. Why? Money… cooling performance…and today’s equipment is built to last. Sure, you might be able to squeeze more time from your older model a/c, but current high-efficiency air conditioning models, like those made by Bryant, use less energy—saving significant dollars on your monthly utility bills. They are also made better, are quieter, and do a better job cooling your home. Older models use Freon— so harmful to the environment, a/c makers are banned to use it in the manufacturing of new models. Bryant uses Puron—it’s better, safer and cheaper. Need more reasons to think new? Chicagoland HVAC companies such as All Temp offer significant discounts off the MSRP on almost all models. Plus, the air conditioners and other comfort equipment All Temp sells are backed by industry-leading factory warranties. (Never trust a dealer warranty—factory warranties are what matters.) The point is, it’s almost always a smarter decision to buy a new a/c to cool your Chicago home rather than repair, repair, repair an older model. For more information on top performing a/c models, their cost savings, their differences, and performance, contact All Temp at 1-800-All-Temp. P.S. Annual maintenance will squeeze valuable years of factory warranty and performance from your air conditioning system. Cool!

It’s true. As experts in home comfort, All Temp knows that the temperature of your bedroom affects how well (and how quickly) you snooze, and how much you dream. When you go to sleep, your brain acts like a thermostat, seeking its set point.
A cooler room, rather that a warm room, generally promotes sleep, though each body has its own comfort level. Identifying your brain’s comfort level means finding the right sleeping temperature for you. The right temperature also affects the quality of REM sleep, which is the dreaming phase of your sleep.
In Chicago, with it’s cold winters and warm summers, typically it is recommended to keep the room between 65 and 72 degrees Fahrenheit–the cooler range in the winter and the warmer range in the winter–to conserve energy and minimize your bills. You will want to experiment a bit, and you might have to compromise, depending upon the “set point” of your bed partner.
All Temp furnaces and air conditioning systems with a smart thermostats will help you set your sleep temperature automatically, and reduce your energy bills. Keep an eye on your home’s humidity level too, and adjust it accordingly. Experts in sleep suggest the “bat” approach to sleeping comfort. Make sure your bedroom is cool, dark and quiet. It works for bats who sleep an average of 16 hours a day. However, we do not suggest you hang upside down from the ceiling.
