Depending on plan tier and how many systems the home runs. A one-off seasonal tune-up without a plan runs $129-$199. Plan pricing is confirmed in writing before enrollment. If the conversation turns into a replacement, see what replacement actually costs and the rebates available on the North Shore.
HVAC Maintenance Plans for Vernon Hills homes
Because these homes were built with matched furnace-and-AC systems, the two units share a vintage and a failure window, which makes the annual report more useful here than in a house where equipment was replaced piecemeal over the years. The fall visit reads combustion, heat exchanger condition, igniter and flame sensor wear, venting and blower current; the spring visit reads refrigerant charge, coil condition, electrical draw and condensate drainage. Two readings a year is how you know whether to budget for a full-system replacement next spring or in three years.
There is also a plain financial argument: replacing a furnace and condenser together as one matched system costs less than doing them eighteen months apart and stacks the Nicor and ComEd rebates better, including the heat-pump incentives if you go that direction. Knowing both are near the end rather than finding out one unit at a time is what keeps that option on the table. Plans run $199-$399 a year with priority dispatch and a discounted repair rate; a one-off tune-up is $129-$199, with a written condition report either way.
