HVAC in Oswego: what the local homes and climate mean
Census estimates put the median build year in Oswego at 2002; about 59% were built in 2000 or later. Even in newer homes, the original builder-installed equipment may be reaching replacement age. Ask for both repair and replacement options in writing.
Kendall 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. 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 93% of occupied homes in Oswego heat with utility gas and 5% 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.
