What We See in Highland Park Homes
Highland Park has many older North Shore homes, some with boilers and no ductwork. Adding cooling to those homes usually means ductless mini-splits or a small-duct system. A few things come up often:
- No ductwork for cooling. Homes without ducts can still get quiet, efficient cooling with ductless mini-splits or heat pumps, without tearing open walls.
- Small original ductwork. Older duct systems were often built for heat only. We check what your ducts can actually move before recommending equipment size.
- Old venting and chimneys. When older gas appliances are replaced, the venting often needs updating too. We check it as part of every install.

Replacement Costs in Highland Park
Every house is different, but here are honest ranges: AC about $4,000–$8,000; heat pump about $6,000–$10,000 before rebates; furnace about $4,000–$10,000 depending on size, efficiency, brand and location. We install Trane, Carrier, Bosch, Midea, LG, Gree and Goodman, and all equipment comes with a 10-year factory parts warranty, with extended labor coverage included or available depending on the package. In our climate, paying extra for anything above about 17 SEER2 rarely pays back.
Rebates and Utilities in Highland Park
Highland Park homes get electricity from ComEd and natural gas from North Shore Gas. ComEd offers instant discounts on qualifying heat pumps, which is why heat pumps have become a realistic option here. See our heat pump page for current ComEd discount details. The federal 25C tax credit for heat pumps and furnaces ended for equipment installed after December 31, 2025, so if someone is still quoting it to you, ask questions.
Maintenance
Our one-time tune-up is $150 and includes a real cleaning of your equipment. An inspection is $79. Maintenance plans start at $15/month and cover an AC visit before cooling season and a furnace visit before heating season.
