Choosing a New Air Conditioner 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 air conditioner cools rooms at three or four heights, so we pair the right size with duct balancing, added returns or zoning where it helps. In ranches with older central air, we check return air and the line set before quoting, and we price a matched AC and furnace together when both are aging.
AC 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 electrical service and condenser location and run a load calculation, then give you written Good, Better and Best Lennox options with rebates and financing. On install day, our own crew recovers the old refrigerant, sets the new condenser and matching indoor coil, replaces or flushes the refrigerant lines as needed, pulls a deep vacuum and charges the system by measurement. We check airflow and temperature split before we leave and register the warranty.
Repair or Replace Your Downers Grove Air Conditioner?
Most central air conditioners last 12 to 17 years here. Replacement usually makes more sense when the compressor or coil fails on an older unit, the system still uses R-22 refrigerant, or repairs keep coming back. If your Downers Grove AC is younger and the problem is a capacitor, contactor or fan motor, a repair is often the better value, and our Downers Grove AC 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!”

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.
Is a two-stage or variable-speed AC worth it in Downers Grove?
In Downers Grove split-levels, a two-stage or variable-speed AC with a variable-speed furnace blower can even out the levels, especially paired with balancing or zoning.
How long does AC replacement take?
Most air conditioner replacements in Downers Grove take one day, including the new condenser, matching indoor coil, refrigerant lines when needed and startup testing. Adding zoning or a ductless head upstairs can add a day.
Is there an AC installation company near me in Downers Grove?
Yes. Pure Comfort is based in Streamwood, about 32 minutes from Downers Grove, and installs air conditioners across 60515, 60516 and 60517. We are a Lennox Premier Dealer with NATE-certified technicians, and our own crews do every install.
Should I replace my furnace and AC at the same time in Downers Grove?
If both are about 15 years old or older, replacing them together usually saves on labor and lets us match the new furnace blower to the new AC coil for better efficiency. A furnace and AC replaced together typically runs $8,000 to $19,000 installed. If one system is much newer, we can replace only the one that needs it.
