FURNACE INSTALLATION
MOUNT PROSPECT, IL

Mount Prospect’s housing stock includes a large concentration of ranch and split-level homes built in the 1960s and 1970s. Many of these homes are on their second or third furnace, and the current unit may be approaching the end of its useful life. Consider replacement if:

• Your furnace predates current efficiency standards: If your system is rated at 80 percent AFUE or lower, it is operating on technology that wastes 20 cents or more of every gas dollar. Modern 96-percent condensing furnaces recapture nearly all of that lost energy.
• The heat exchanger has been flagged: A cracked or compromised heat exchanger is a safety issue. Replacement heat exchangers for older furnaces often cost as much as a complete new unit, making repair economically impractical.
• Comfort has become inconsistent: Cold spots, temperature swings, and excessive cycling indicate a furnace that is struggling to meet demand. This is often a sizing or age issue that no amount of repair can resolve.
• The system uses components that are difficult to source: Obsolete control boards, discontinued gas valves, and rare motor specifications create extended downtime when parts must be special ordered. A new system eliminates supply chain uncertainty.
• You are planning to sell or refinance: A new, high-efficiency furnace is a tangible selling point and can positively influence a home’s appraised value.
