Which Rebates Apply Depends on Where You Live
City of Geneva electric
Inside City Limits
ComEd heat pump discounts don’t apply, because you aren’t a ComEd customer. The City states that it doesn’t offer rebates. Nicor Gas furnace and boiler discounts still apply if your home is on Nicor Gas.
ComEd electric
Mill Creek
Mill Creek sits outside Geneva’s city limits and gets its electricity from ComEd, so ComEd heat pump discounts can apply there, up to $2,000 on a qualifying ducted system. Building permits in Mill Creek come from Kane County, not the City.
Anyone quoting a ComEd heat pump discount on a house inside Geneva city limits hasn’t checked. In Mill Creek, the ComEd program runs $900 to $2,000 on a qualifying ducted heat pump and $500 or $1,000 on a qualifying ductless system, off the invoice. See ComEd Instant Discounts.
Nicor Gas Discounts in Geneva
We’re a Nicor Gas Contractor Circle Installing Member, so these come off the invoice at installation.
| Equipment | 2026 discount |
|---|---|
| Gas furnace, 97%+ AFUE | $225 |
| Gas furnace, 95%+ AFUE | $150 |
| Furnace 97%+ AFUE + ENERGY STAR smart thermostat | $275 |
| Furnace 95%+ AFUE + ENERGY STAR smart thermostat | $200 |
| Heating boiler, 95%+ AFUE | $350 |
| Combination boiler (heat + domestic hot water), 95%+ AFUE | $500 |
| Smart thermostat alone (one per household) | $25 |
Hot Afternoons and Smart Thermostats
On peak summer afternoons, the City has asked residents to cut electric use voluntarily by adjusting thermostats. A properly set-up smart thermostat turns that into a schedule instead of a chore, and paired with a qualifying furnace it adds to the Nicor Gas discount.
Permits and Older Homes
Permit required
Replacing Heating or Central Air
Geneva requires a permit to change or replace heating and central air conditioning systems. The City notes that making sure one is pulled is the homeowner’s responsibility, so ask any contractor how they handle it.
Review first
Historic Properties
For properties in Geneva’s historic district, building permit applications are reviewed by the Historic Preservation Commission, and the review application comes first. Planning a new condenser spot or a ductless system? Talk to the City’s historic planner early, and we’ll plan around what the Commission requires.
Heat Pumps in Geneva, Quoted Honestly
A heat pump can still be the right call inside city limits. It just has to earn its place on performance.
The cold-climate inverter heat pumps we install, including the Amana S-Series on R-32 refrigerant, keep heating well below zero and cool in summer. In a house that already has a gas furnace, the common setup is dual fuel: the heat pump carries mild and cold weather and the furnace takes over below the balance point. Inside Geneva the furnace side can still take the Nicor Gas discount; the heat pump side gets no ComEd discount, and our quote says so.

How Repairs and Replacements Are Priced in Geneva
Every repair call starts 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 in writing, and nothing happens until you approve it. There is no hourly meter running while we look for parts, and the price you approve is the price on the invoice.
After-hours and emergency calls are priced higher than business-hours calls. We tell you the difference on the phone before anyone is dispatched, so you can decide whether tonight or tomorrow morning makes more sense. Either way, (847) 224-2420 is answered 24/7, and we repair all major brands of furnace, air conditioner, heat pump and boiler, not just the ones we install.
Replacement quotes are free, written and include any utility discount you qualify for. We size the equipment to the house as it is today rather than the old label (a Manual J load calculation is available when it’s needed, requested or required), match the indoor and outdoor units by AHRI listing, and haul the old equipment away. Geneva requires a permit for heating and central air replacements, so we file it as part of the job and the work gets inspected. In Mill Creek the permit comes from Kane County instead. If the timing is wrong for a big purchase, you can prequalify for financing in about 2 minutes with no impact to your credit score.
