FAQs
When should I consider replacing my HVAC unit in Andersonville?
Most heating and cooling systems last 10–15 years. If your unit is approaching that age, needs frequent repairs, or your utility bills have risen sharply despite regular maintenance, it may be more cost-effective to replace rather than repair. In Andersonville’s mixed-climate region, efficiency ratings such as SEER2 for air conditioners and AFUE for furnaces have a big impact on annual operating costs, so upgrading can save 20–40 % on energy compared with equipment installed a decade ago.
What can I expect during a professional HVAC replacement visit?
1) Pre-visit load calculation: Our technicians measure your home’s square footage, insulation levels, and ductwork to choose the correct-sized unit. 2) Removal of the old system: Refrigerant is recovered per EPA guidelines, and all equipment is disposed of according to Andersonville and state regulations. 3) Ductwork and electrical evaluation: We seal, repair, or resize ducts and upgrade breakers or wiring if needed. 4) Installation of the new system: This includes setting the air handler or furnace, outdoor condenser/heat pump, line-sets, drain lines, and smart thermostat. 5) Start-up and commissioning: We verify refrigerant charge, airflow, gas pressure, and safety controls, then walk you through operating the new system and register the manufacturer warranty.
How long does a typical HVAC replacement take?
A straightforward air-conditioning and furnace change-out in an average Andersonville home usually takes 1 full working day (6–10 hours). If you need duct modifications, electrical panel upgrades, or the addition of indoor air-quality accessories such as humidifiers or UV lights, the job can extend to 2–3 days. We schedule all inspections with the city so you don’t have to, ensuring minimal downtime without heating or cooling.
Are permits and inspections required in Andersonville for HVAC replacement?
Yes. The City of Chicago’s Department of Buildings, which governs Andersonville projects, requires a mechanical permit for HVAC equipment that exceeds certain BTU thresholds or involves new gas piping, electrical circuits, or refrigerant lines. After installation, an inspector verifies that the unit meets local code, manufacturer specs, and energy-efficiency standards. Hiring a licensed, bonded, and insured contractor like us ensures permit applications, fees, and inspections are handled correctly and keeps your manufacturer warranty intact.
How much will a new HVAC system cost, and what financing options are available?
Pricing varies by home size, efficiency level, and add-ons, but most Andersonville replacements fall between $7,500 and $14,000 for a complete furnace and AC/heat-pump package, including labor, permits, and disposal of the old unit. High-efficiency variable-speed systems cost more upfront but provide bigger utility savings. We offer 0 % APR financing for 12–18 months, low-interest plans up to 10 years, and utility rebates (ComEd/Nicor) that can reduce the price by $200–$1,200. Senior and military discounts are also available.
How can I maintain my new HVAC system to maximize efficiency and lifespan?
1) Change or clean filters every 1–3 months. 2) Keep outdoor condensers clear of leaves, snow, and debris; maintain at least 2 ft of clearance. 3) Schedule professional tune-ups twice a year—heating in fall, cooling in spring—to keep warranties valid and catch problems early. 4) Use a programmable or smart thermostat to avoid excessive cycling. 5) Seal attic and wall air leaks to reduce runtime. 6) Register your unit with the manufacturer within 60 days to secure a 10-year parts warranty. With proper care, your new HVAC system should deliver reliable comfort for 15–20 years in Andersonville’s climate.
