Furnace Replacement in Chicago

FREE Estimates on New Installations

New high-efficiency furnaces installed by the family-owned team that has kept Chicago homes warm since 2004. One flat-rate price before any work begins, the old furnace hauled away, and a system that is sized for your home, not copied from the old nameplate.

(312) 243-9896

Schedule Service

Replacing a furnace is a big decision, and the estimate is free. We come out, look at the furnace, the venting, the ductwork and the house, and give you a flat-rate price in writing. No pressure and no hourly meter. If a repair still makes more sense than a new furnace, we will tell you that too.

Fall Special through October 31: a complete Carrier WeatherMaker furnace and air conditioner, professionally installed, starting at $8,899. See the Fall Special.

What a Furnace Replacement Includes

  • A free in-home estimate and a flat-rate quote before any work begins.
  • Honest sizing. We size the new furnace for your home instead of matching the old nameplate, which was often oversized too.
  • Removal and disposal of the old furnace.
  • Venting, gas line and code work done right, with permits.
  • Full start-up testing: temperature rise, gas pressure and blower speed, so the furnace runs the way the manufacturer intended from day one.
  • A walkthrough of your new system, the filter and the thermostat before we leave.

Most straight furnace swaps, and many furnace and air conditioner replacements, are finished in a single day.

I had an excellent experience with this company. My air conditioning stopped working during a heat wave, and Salvatore provided outstanding service. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and determined to get the problem resolved. He went above and beyond by coordinating access through a neighboring condo so he could safely reach my unit, and he kept me informed throughout the process. I truly appreciated Salvatore's patience, expertise, and dedication to making sure everything was working properly before he left. Thanks to his hard work, my air conditioning is running again, and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend this company, and especially Salvatore, to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and exceptional service.

Ed was great! Highly experienced and knowledgeable. He was able to fix our AC problem on the same day we got the quote. He even explained the situation to me in a way, that even I would understand, what was truly going on. Thank you. Had to update this, we will be working with him from now on for future needs!

Thank you, Ed!

Ed is one of the most honest, knowledgeable and reliable people you will meet. I had a boiler go out on one of the coldest days this winter. Ed came out ASAP to see what he could to get my heat running. There was a crack in the boiler that could not be repaired as it would not solve the issue permanently. A person with less integrity would have applied a temporary patch and charged more money to come back out when it failed. I priced another company (Ed's suggestion). I already knew I was going with Ed and Sal but I checked just to see the pricing. Not only did Ed beat the other company but the salesperson made the statement, "a smaller company can install it but if anything goes wrong you'll never get them back out here." I told him you don't know Ed. That alone let me know I was right all along. You will not find anyone as honest and reliable. Ed always goes goes above and beyond. Thanks Ed!!!!!

Repair or Replace Your Furnace?

Our rule of thumb: if the furnace is over 15 years old and the repair costs more than a third of a replacement, replacement usually wins. We quote both side by side, so the decision is yours with real numbers. Signs it is time to look at a new furnace:

  • A cracked heat exchanger. This is the failure that turns into a carbon monoxide risk, and it usually ends the repair conversation.
  • Repeat no-heat calls on a furnace past its expected life. You end up paying for a new furnace one emergency visit at a time.
  • Parts that are hard to get. For older models we sometimes wait weeks for a component. Not what you want in January.
  • Rising gas bills and uneven rooms, even after a tune-up.

Not sure? Our furnace repair team will diagnose it first, and tell you plainly whether it is worth fixing.

Bryant

Bryant Furnaces: Our Preferred Brand

New installations are Bryant, from energy-conscious mid-range models to premium high-efficiency furnaces. We install the furnace that fits your house and your budget, not the one on sale.

Replacing the air conditioner at the same time? A matched furnace and AC work together more efficiently, share one installation visit, and qualify for the Fall Special through October 31.

What a New Furnace Costs in Chicago

The honest answer is a flat-rate quote after we have seen the house, which is why the estimate is free. What moves the price:

  • Efficiency. A high-efficiency furnace (95% AFUE and up) costs more up front and saves gas every month. It also needs its own PVC venting instead of the chimney.
  • Size. Bigger is not better. An oversized furnace short-cycles and wastes gas.
  • Venting and code. Chimney liners, combustion air and gas line sizing are the parts you do not see, and the parts that keep it safe.
  • Ductwork and the air conditioner. Whether the ducts need changes, and whether the air conditioner is replaced in the same visit.

Financing: 0% interest with 60 equal monthly payments through Wells Fargo, for qualified buyers, plus Synchrony financing. See financing options.

Rebates: the federal tax credit for furnaces ended on December 31, 2025, but gas utilities still pay rebates on high-efficiency furnaces in 2026: Peoples Gas $200 for 95% AFUE or higher and $225 for 97% or higher; Nicor Gas $150 and $225. We give you the model and efficiency details the rebate application asks for. Rebate details.
