Before you hire for heating and cooling work in Elk Grove Village
Census estimates put the median build year in Elk Grove Village at 1974; about 6% were built in 2000 or later. Many homes from this era still have their original ductwork. Leaky or undersized ducts can hold back a new system, so ask for a duct check with any replacement quote.
The U.S. Department of Energy places Cook County in climate zone 5A (cool, humid). Heating carries most of the load here. If you are considering a heat pump, ask whether the model is rated for cold climates and how backup heat works. 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.
About 81% of occupied homes in Elk Grove Village heat with utility gas and 16% with electricity. Many replacement quotes will involve a gas furnace or boiler; if you are thinking about switching to an electric heat pump, ask whether your electrical panel needs an upgrade.
Permits and licenses in Elk Grove Village
Replacing a furnace, air conditioner or heat pump usually needs a mechanical permit and a final inspection. In Elk Grove Village, permits come from the city's building department, or from Cook County for addresses outside city limits. Ask the company who pulls the permit, and keep a copy of it.
Illinois has no statewide general contractor license; IDFPR licenses roofing contractors. For other trades, ask your city or county building department which license applies, and ask the company for its license number.
