North Shore HVAC: replacement, repair, and heating & cooling service.

Installed furnace replacements typically run $4,500-$9,000, central AC $5,000-$10,000, and a full furnace-plus-AC system $9,000-$18,000. Boilers (common in older North Shore homes) run $7,000-$15,000, and heat pumps $10,000-$22,000 before rebates. Final pricing depends on system size, efficiency, and how your home is configured. Every quote is written and itemized after an in-home estimate.

As a rule of thumb, if a system is 15+ years old, needs a repair that costs more than about a third of a new unit, or has failed more than once in a season, replacement usually saves money over time. We give an honest recommendation - if a repair makes more sense, we'll say so, and we'll do the repair.

Both. We repair furnaces, air conditioners, and boilers, with a $99-$169 diagnostic that is credited toward the repair and a flat repair price you approve in writing before any work starts. Most repairs run $180-$950 depending on the equipment and the fault. Replacement is what we specialize in, but that does not mean we push it - a good system with a failed part gets the part.

Yes. Plans run $199-$399 per year depending on tier and how many systems the home has, and cover two seasonal visits - heating in the fall, cooling in the spring - plus priority dispatch and a discounted repair rate for members. A one-off tune-up without a plan is $129-$199. Most manufacturer warranties require documented annual maintenance, so a plan also keeps that coverage intact.

Yes. High-efficiency furnaces, AC, heat pumps, and boilers often qualify for Nicor Gas and ComEd rebates - heat pumps can earn tiered ComEd rebates of roughly $1,400-$2,000 depending on equipment. We size and select equipment to hit rebate thresholds and hand off the documentation you need to claim them.

Yes. We run a 24/7 emergency line for no-heat and no-cool situations. When a system can't be safely or economically revived, we can often provide temporary heat and get a replacement installed quickly.

Yes. Many North Shore homes in Winnetka, Wilmette, and Highland Park run hot-water or steam boilers. We replace and modernize boiler systems, including high-efficiency condensing boilers where the home's piping and venting allow.

We serve the Chicago North Shore and northwest suburbs across Cook and Lake counties, from Wilmette, Winnetka, and Highland Park to Northbrook, Glenview, Arlington Heights, and Des Plaines.

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' comp coverage and can provide a certificate of insurance to any homeowner, property manager, or HOA on request.

A straightforward furnace or AC changeout is usually a single day. Full-system, boiler, or ductwork-heavy projects can take one to two days. We give you a realistic timeline in the written estimate.
