One of the Fastest-Growing Towns in Illinois

Built since 2005

Hampshire Highlands and Tuscany Woods

Hampshire Highlands started building in 2005 and Tuscany Woods in 2007. Original equipment in the first homes there is near the end of a furnace’s 15 to 20 year lifespan and past an air conditioner’s 12 to 17.

Still building

Prairie Ridge and Tamms Farm

In a brand-new home, the job is regular maintenance to protect the equipment warranty, and catching airflow or installation problems while they’re still covered.

For the first-wave homes, that means planning a furnace replacement or AC replacement before the equipment forces the issue. For the new ones, it means a maintenance plan that keeps the warranty intact.

New Home, Hot Upstairs?

It’s common in new two-story construction, and it isn’t something you have to live with. The cause is usually airflow: undersized returns, unbalanced supply runs or leaky ducts. We measure it with Minneapolis DuctBlaster equipment, so the fix is based on numbers, not guesses.

Sometimes the fix is a damper adjustment; sometimes it’s a return that was never installed. Either way, we start with the measurement. See duct cleaning and airflow diagnostics.

What a Furnace or HVAC Replacement Permit Takes

Spec sheets

The New Equipment

Manufacturer spec sheets for what’s going in.

Existing unit

What’s Coming Out

Documentation of the size of the unit being replaced.

Final inspection

Venting and Combustion Air

Gas equipment needs code-compliant venting and combustion air, confirmed at a final inspection.

Applications go through the village’s online permit portal, with plan review and inspections handled by SAFEbuilt. Residential review can take up to five business days, so build that into the schedule for a planned replacement.

We file the permit and schedule the final inspection as part of every furnace installation.

Replacing the First-Wave Equipment

When a 2005-era furnace or air conditioner comes out, what goes in is a different generation of equipment. A 95% or 97% AFUE condensing furnace qualifies for a Nicor Gas instant discount of $150 or $225 off the invoice, or $200 or $275 with a qualifying smart thermostat on the same invoice. New cooling equipment uses R-32; R-410A is being phased down and its price is rising, one more reason not to put a large repair into an original condenser.

A cold-climate heat pump paired with the furnace as a dual-fuel system is also worth pricing, since ComEd’s ducted heat pump discount runs $900–$2,000. Quotes are free, written, sized from the house rather than the old nameplate, and include the discounts. Financing prequalifies in about 2 minutes with no impact to your credit score.

Cold-snap ready

Why Priority Scheduling Matters

It matters most in the first real cold snap of the season, which is the week everyone calls at once.

Each visit is up to a $130 value, and members get 5% off services: up to $390 in services for $240. See furnace maintenance and AC maintenance for what each tune-up covers.

What a Service Call Costs in Hampshire

Repairs start with a flat diagnostic fee to find the problem. During office hours (9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday) the service call is $130; weekday evenings after 5 p.m. it is $180, and nights, weekends and holidays are $260. Each includes 30 minutes of travel and 30 minutes of diagnostics, and parts are extra. Once we know what failed, you get a flat-rate repair price and approve it before any work starts. We repair every major brand, not only the Amana and Daikin equipment we install.

After-hours and emergency service calls are priced higher than business-hours calls, and we quote that on the phone before we dispatch. For no heat or no cooling right now, emergency furnace repair and emergency AC repair are answered 24/7 at (847) 224-2420.
