A reliable furnace is not a luxury during a cold Illinois winter; it’s an absolute necessity.

A professional furnace installation ensures your system operates safely, efficiently, and effectively for its entire lifespan.

Our meticulous approach covers every detail, from precise system sizing to post-installation performance checks, ensuring your investment enhances your home’s comfort and value.
Is It Time for a New Furnace?
Replacing a furnace is a significant decision. While a sudden breakdown can force the issue, there are often clear warning signs that your current system is nearing the end of its operational life. Proactively replacing an aging or inefficient unit can save you from the inconvenience of a mid-winter failure and the high costs of emergency repairs. Look for these common indicators:
- Age of the System: If your furnace is over 15 years old, it is likely operating far less efficiently than modern units and is at a higher risk of component failure.
- Rising Energy Bills: A furnace that has to work harder to produce the same amount of heat will consume more fuel, leading to a noticeable increase in your monthly utility costs.
- Frequent Repairs: If you find yourself scheduling repairs more than once or twice a year, the cumulative cost and inconvenience may outweigh the price of a new, reliable system.
- Uneven Heating: Cold spots in certain rooms or floors that never seem to warm up can indicate your furnace is no longer able to distribute heat effectively.
- Strange Noises: Banging, rattling, or popping sounds can signal serious mechanical issues with internal components like the blower motor or inducer.
- Visible Signs of Wear: Obvious rust, cracks, or corrosion on the furnace unit itself can be a sign of deterioration that could compromise its safety and performance.
Our Meticulous Furnace Installation Process
A successful furnace installation is a precise science. We have refined our process to ensure every new system we install in a Hillside home is perfectly matched to the property's unique heating requirements. This detailed approach guarantees optimal performance and energy efficiency from day one.
Step 1: In-Home Consultation and Load Calculation: The process begins with a thorough assessment of your home. We never use a "rule of thumb" to determine the size of your new furnace. Instead, we perform a professional Manual J load calculation. This industry-standard analysis considers numerous factors, including your home’s square footage, layout, insulation levels, window types and placement, air filtration needs, and local Hillside climate data. This calculation determines the exact amount of heating capacity your home requires, ensuring your new furnace is neither too large nor too small. An improperly sized unit will struggle to heat your home, cycle inefficiently, and wear out prematurely.
Step 2: Personalized Equipment Selection: With the precise heating load determined, we guide you through selecting the ideal furnace for your home and budget. We explain the differences between various types of systems, such as single-stage, two-stage, and modulating gas furnaces, as well as high-efficiency models. We will discuss the Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency (AFUE) rating of each unit, helping you understand the long-term energy savings associated with higher-rated equipment. Our goal is to empower you to make an informed decision that aligns with your comfort preferences and financial goals.
Step 3: Professional Installation and Ductwork Considerations: On installation day, our certified technicians work with the utmost respect for your home, using drop cloths and taking care to protect your property. The process involves the safe disconnection and removal of your old unit, followed by the precise placement of the new furnace. We make all necessary connections—including electrical, gas lines, and venting—in strict adherence to local Hillside building codes and manufacturer specifications. A critical part of this stage is assessing your existing ductwork. Leaky, damaged, or improperly sized ducts can undermine the performance of even the best furnace. We inspect your duct system and recommend any necessary adjustments to ensure efficient and balanced airflow to every room.
Step 4: System Startup and Performance Testing: Once the furnace is installed, our work is far from over. We initiate a comprehensive startup and commissioning process. This involves a series of rigorous tests to verify that every component is functioning correctly. We calibrate the thermostat, test all safety controls, check the gas pressure, and measure airflow and temperature output. This meticulous testing and verification process confirms your new furnace is operating at peak performance and efficiency, just as the manufacturer intended.
Step 5: Post-Installation Support and Warranty: Before we consider the job complete, we conduct a final walkthrough with you. We will demonstrate how to operate your new system and thermostat, explain the filter replacement schedule, and answer any questions you may have. We also ensure you have all the necessary documentation for your manufacturer's warranty, providing you with the assurance that your investment is protected for years to come.
