What Elburn homeowners should know about HVAC

Kane County is in IECC climate zone 5A, a cool, humid climate, on the U.S. Department of Energy's county map. Heating carries most of the load here.

In a humid climate, ask how the system will control indoor humidity, not just temperature. Whatever the climate, ask for a room-by-room load calculation (ACCA Manual J) instead of matching the size of the old unit.
