Ducted Heating Tips for Chicago

Chicago's harsh winters make high-efficiency gas furnaces a priority — look for units with 96%+ AFUE ratings which qualify for federal tax credits and pay back quickly in cold climates

Older Chicago homes often have gravity furnace ductwork with large rectangular ducts that may need modification for a modern forced air system — budget for ductwork updates

Plan furnace replacements before the heating season (September–October) to avoid emergency pricing and ensure availability of preferred units
