Common Furnace Problems in Des Plaines Homes
More than 40 percent of Des Plaines homes were built in the 1950s and 1960s, so most are on their third or fourth furnace. Many still have original ductwork, small returns and a furnace that shares a chimney with the water heater. Overheating, short cycling and cold back bedrooms are often airflow or venting problems rather than a failed part.
When a furnace in these homes is replaced with a high-efficiency model, the water heater can be left alone in a chimney that is too large for it, so we check draft and venting on every older system. Flame sensors, igniters, inducer motors and control boards make up most of the repairs we make in Des Plaines.
How a Des Plaines Furnace Repair Visit Works
We trace the heating sequence from the thermostat call through ignition, then check the safeties, electrical parts, venting, drainage and airflow. We measure before replacing anything, so you are not paying for parts the furnace did not need.
You get the cause and a flat-rate price before any work begins. Our trucks are stocked for the common furnace parts, so most furnaces are fixed on the first visit. We repair all major brands, including furnaces installed by other companies, and for most brands we handle the manufacturer parts warranty claim so you pay labor only.
Repair or Replace Your Des Plaines Furnace?
A well-maintained gas furnace lasts about 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. Under $5,000, repairing usually makes sense. Over $5,000, it is worth getting a replacement price too.
A cracked heat exchanger is a safety issue at any age. If replacement makes more sense, the in-home estimate is free, Nicor Gas rebates apply to qualifying high-efficiency furnaces, and financing is available, including 0% APR on select Lennox systems during Lennox promotions.

Des Plaines Furnace Repair FAQs
How much does furnace repair cost in Des Plaines?
The diagnostic is $75, or $99 evenings, weekends and holidays. Most furnace repairs cost $100 to $700, and about $300 is typical. You approve a flat-rate price before any work starts.
How fast can you get to Des Plaines?
Our Streamwood shop is about 18 miles from Des Plaines, roughly 35 minutes via I-90 in normal traffic. We answer 24/7 and offer same-day furnace repair when a truck is open.
My furnace and water heater share a chimney. Is that a problem?
It can be, especially after one appliance is replaced. If the furnace now vents through plastic pipe, the water heater may be left in a chimney that is too large for it to draft well. We check draft and venting on older systems.
Why are the back bedrooms of my ranch always colder?
Long duct runs, leaky joints and too little return air are common in older ranches. We measure airflow and explain whether balancing or duct changes would help.
Do you repair boilers and radiator heat?
Yes. We repair and replace gas boilers in older homes with radiators or baseboard heat, including circulator pumps, zone valves, expansion tanks and ignition controls.
Do you repair furnace brands other than Lennox?
Yes. Pure Comfort is a Lennox Premier Dealer, but we repair all major furnace brands in Des Plaines, including furnaces installed by other companies.
