What La Grange Park homeowners should know about HVAC
The median home in La Grange Park was built in 1956, and about 89% 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 84% of occupied homes in La Grange Park heat with utility gas and 14% 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.
About 66% of homes in La Grange Park are single-family houses, and about 72% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners.
