Before you hire for heating and cooling work in University Park
The median home in University Park was built in 1976, and about 69% were built before 1980. 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 Will 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 90% of occupied homes in University Park heat with utility gas and 8% 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.
