Choosing a New Furnace for a Downers Grove Home
Most of Downers Grove was built after World War II, and split-levels and ranches make up a large share of the village. In a split-level, one furnace serves rooms at three or four heights, so the lower level stays cool and the bedrooms over the garage swing hot and cold. When we replace a furnace, we pair the right size with duct balancing, added returns or zoning where it helps. Many ranches still vent through an old chimney, and older homes near downtown may run boilers, so we confirm venting and the heating type before we quote. In one recent Downers Grove home, we replaced both furnaces, one serving the first floor and one the second, along with their matching Lennox air conditioners.
Furnace Installation in Downers Grove: How It Works
It starts with a free visit to your Downers Grove 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 Downers Grove 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 Downers Grove furnace is younger or the repair is small, a repair may be the better value, and our furnace repair team can diagnose it for $75.

“I was having a problem with my 8 year old water heater. I made the mistake of calling a “reputable” local plumbing company to make the repair. After $700 of replacing almost all of the guts of the unit, they said I need a new tank, to the tune of about style="margin:10px 0 12px;font-style:normal;border:0;padding:0",800. That did not sit well with me so I called Pure Comfort for a second opinion. Boy, I am glad I did! Gene came in and spend extra time to carefully figure out the problem, instead of just agreeing with the last guy. He figured out the pilot had been installed backwards!! Once he put it on correctly, the water heater fired up perfectly!”

Split-level duct layout, added return air and chimney venting in postwar ranches drive most of the price in Downers Grove homes. 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 Downers Grove?
Permit needs for a furnace replacement in Downers Grove depend on the equipment and project scope. Where a permit is required, we confirm the Village of Downers Grove’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 Downers Grove?
A 96% to 97% furnace with PVC venting is the usual choice in Downers Grove. Many postwar ranches and split-levels still vent into a chimney, so we price the PVC venting change and any water heater liner alongside the furnace.
How long does a furnace replacement take?
Most furnace replacements in Downers Grove 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 Downers Grove?
Yes. Pure Comfort is based in Streamwood, about 32 minutes from Downers Grove, and installs furnaces across 60515, 60516 and 60517. 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 Downers Grove, we check the furnace and give you both prices so you can decide.
