Heat Pump Installation in Wilmette, Illinois
Modern cold-climate heat pumps heat and cool from a single electric system and are increasingly practical for Chicago-area winters, often paired with a gas furnace as a dual-fuel setup. The payoff is incentives: qualifying heat pumps can earn the 25C federal tax credit (up to $2,000) plus ComEd and Nicor rebates. We size and select equipment to hit those thresholds and walk you through the paperwork so the credits actually land.
