Choosing a New Furnace for a Elmhurst Home
About one in seven Elmhurst homes was built before 1940, and more than a fifth went up in the 1950s. In the bungalows, Tudors and Colonials near downtown, the furnace often replaced a boiler or gravity system, and it may still vent into a masonry chimney. Choosing a new furnace there means checking the liner and draft first, then deciding on chimney venting or new PVC. About a quarter of Elmhurst homes have been built since 2000, many as teardown replacements, and these larger two-story homes often have two furnaces or a zoned system with original equipment now 15 to 25 years old. For those, we size each furnace by load calculation and look at whether variable-speed blowers will handle long duct runs and zone calls better.
Furnace Installation in Elmhurst: How It Works
It starts with a free visit to your Elmhurst home. We measure the house and ductwork, check the venting and gas supply and run a load calculation, then give you written Good, Better and Best Lennox options with rebates and financing laid out. On install day, our own crew removes the old furnace, sets the new one, connects venting, gas, condensate and controls, and tests combustion, temperature rise and airflow before we leave. We register the warranty and walk you through the new thermostat settings.
Repair or Replace Your Elmhurst Furnace?
A gas furnace usually lasts 15 to 20 years in the Chicago area. A quick check is the $5,000 rule: multiply the furnace’s age by the repair price. If the result is over $5,000, replacement usually makes more sense. If your Elmhurst furnace is younger or the repair is small, a repair may be the better value, and our Elmhurst furnace repair team can diagnose it for $75.

Elmhurst Furnace Replacement FAQs
How much does a new furnace cost in Elmhurst?
As of October 2026, a new furnace from Pure Comfort costs $3,000 to $9,500 installed in Elmhurst. Chimney venting work in older homes and two-furnace or zoned systems in newer two-story homes drive most of the price. Replacing the furnace and air conditioner together costs $8,000 to $19,000, and Nicor Gas rebates of $150 to $225 apply to qualifying 95% and 97% AFUE furnaces.

Do I need a permit to replace a furnace in Elmhurst?
Permit needs for a furnace replacement in Elmhurst depend on the equipment and project scope. Where a permit is required, we confirm the City of Elmhurst’s current requirements and pull the permit, or help you file it in towns where the homeowner applies, then schedule any required inspection.
Should I choose an 80% or a high-efficiency 96% furnace in Elmhurst?
Newer Elmhurst homes already vent through PVC, so a 96% furnace is the standard choice. In pre-1940 and 1950s homes, an 80% furnace can stay in a lined chimney that drafts well, or a 96% model can vent through new PVC.
How long does a furnace replacement take?
Most furnace replacements in Elmhurst take one day. Jobs that add return air, new venting or zoning can take a second day. If you are without heat, tell us when you call so we can schedule the install as soon as the equipment is available.
Is there a furnace replacement company near me in Elmhurst?
Yes. Pure Comfort is based in Streamwood, about 30 minutes from Elmhurst, and installs furnaces across 60126. We are a Lennox Premier Dealer with NATE-certified technicians, and our own crews do every install.
Is it worth replacing a 20- or 30-year-old furnace?
Usually, yes. Most furnaces last about 15 to 20 years in Chicago-area winters. A 20- to 30-year-old furnace is often far less efficient than a new high-efficiency model, parts get harder to find, and heat exchanger problems become more likely. If yours is safe and the repair is small, fixing it can still make sense. In Elmhurst, we check the furnace and give you both prices so you can decide.
