Furnace Replacement in Highland Park, Illinois
Furnace Replacement in Highland Park typically costs $4,500-$9,000 installed in 2026, depending on home size and efficiency tier.
Highland Park runs the full range, and furnace replacement lives mostly in its mid-century and newer inland neighborhoods - Sherwood Forest and the areas west of the historic core - where forced-air homes are common. If your Highland Park house heats with a gas furnace, odds are it's a postwar or later unit now reaching the age where replacement beats another repair.
| Smaller homes (under 1,500 sq ft) | $3,800-$7,900 |

Furnace Replacement for Highland Park homes
The inland furnaces we replace in Highland Park are usually 80% AFUE units installed when the neighborhoods were built, or updated once since. They're frequently oversized for homes that have gained insulation and better windows over the decades, which shows up as short-cycling and hot-and-cold rooms. Rather than match the old nameplate, we run a load calculation and size the new furnace to the home's current performance, which almost always means a smaller, better-matched, higher-efficiency unit.
Highland Park homeowners are also strong candidates for stepping up efficiency, since a qualifying high-AFUE furnace can earn Nicor's furnace rebate, and pairing it with a heat pump as a dual-fuel system opens up ComEd's heat-pump rebate as well. We'll size for those thresholds if you want them, with the current rebate amounts confirmed in your written estimate. On install day the install crew handles venting, condensate, and duct connections, removes the old equipment, and confirms the system is running clean before handing it back.
