Furnace Installation for Every Chicago Home Type
Chicago's housing stock ranges from vintage courtyard buildings to modern single-families. Your home's age and construction determine which furnace installation approach works best.
Homes Built Before 1950
Many vintage Chicago buildings used radiator heating. If your home still has radiators, you have two paths:
Keep your radiators
Install a high-efficiency boiler that works with your existing radiator system. You avoid ductwork installation while cutting heating costs.
Switch to forced air
Requires adding ductwork throughout your home. Works well if you're already planning renovations or want central air conditioning.
Homes Built 1950-1980
Original ductwork in mid-century homes often restricts airflow for newer high-efficiency furnaces. During your estimate, Four Seasons technicians inspect your ducts to identify any restrictions.
Ductwork Assessment
If your ductwork needs modification for proper airflow, we include that cost in your written quote. You know the complete installation price upfront.
Modern Homes Built After 1980
Open floor plans with high ceilings create heating challenges. Cold spots develop in rooms far from the furnace. Second floors stay too warm while the main level feels cool.
Variable-Speed Furnaces
Variable-speed furnaces solve this by adjusting output based on your home's real-time needs. The system runs longer at lower speeds, distributing heat more evenly.
How Lake Michigan Affects Your Furnace
Lake Michigan influences Chicago's climate. The large thermal mass of the lake moderates temperatures, but also creates weather patterns that stress your heating system.
Chicago averages 26.4°F in winter with 28.1 inches of snowfall. Wind from Lake Michigan creates additional wind chill. Your furnace must handle both steady cold and sudden temperature swings.
Why proper furnace sizing matters:
An oversized furnace cycles on and off frequently, wasting energy and wearing components faster. An undersized furnace runs constantly without reaching your target temperature. Four Seasons performs load calculations during your estimate to match furnace capacity to your home's heating requirements.
Your Installation Process
Four Seasons makes furnace installation straightforward with a clear four-step process.
Step 1: Free In-Home Estimate
A technician visits your home to measure square footage, inspect ductwork, and assess your current heating system. You receive a written quote showing equipment options at different efficiency levels. No obligation to purchase.
Step 2: Choose Your Equipment
Select your furnace based on efficiency rating, features, and budget. Add components, like programmable thermostats, if desired. Review financing options. Schedule installation at your convenience.
Step 3: Installation Day
Technicians arrive with equipment and materials. Four Seasons handles Chicago building permit requirements. Installation includes removing your old furnace, installing new equipment, connecting gas and electrical lines, programming your thermostat, and testing the complete system. Time required: 4-6 hours for standard installations.
Step 4: System Walkthrough
Your technician explains thermostat operation, filter replacement schedule, and warranty coverage. You receive written documentation and 24/7 service contact information.
Same-Day Service Available
Four Seasons offers same-day service for heating emergencies. When you call before 3 PM to request same-day service, we work to schedule your appointment for that day.
Same-Day Service Guarantee applies to select areas and depends on technician availability. If we cannot schedule same-day service, your dispatch fee is waived or credited toward approved repairs.
Your heat matters most during Chicago's coldest weather. Four Seasons answers calls 24/7 with real people, not answering machines.
