Before you hire for heating and cooling work in La Grange
The median home in La Grange was built in 1953, and about 79% were built before 1980. Many older homes were built for radiators, floor furnaces or window units, so adding or replacing central air can mean new ductwork or a ductless system. Ask the company to look at what the house has now before quoting.
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 87% of occupied homes in La Grange heat with utility gas and 10% 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.
