Typical pricing for HVAC work in the Palatine area
| Typical job | Typical Chicago-area range |
|---|---|
| Furnace tune-up | $100 – $200 |
| Furnace replacement | $4,000 – $8,000 |
| Central AC installation | $5,000 – $10,000 |

General ranges homeowners commonly see across the Chicago area — actual pricing depends on scope, and your contractor sets their own rates.
Seasonal note
Furnace failures cluster hard in December–February, and AC systems get pushed to their limit June–August — the shoulder seasons (spring and fall) are when smart homeowners book tune-ups instead of waiting for a breakdown.
Quick answers
How often should I service my furnace before winter in Palatine?
Once a year, ideally in early fall — a tune-up catches small issues before the first hard freeze forces a mid-winter emergency call.
Why is my AC struggling to keep up in Palatine summers?
Undersized or aging systems, dirty coils, and leaky ductwork are the usual culprits — especially in older homes that were never built with central air in mind.
Is a ductless mini-split a good fit for older Palatine homes?
Often yes — homes without existing ductwork (common in older housing stock) can add cooling room-by-room without the cost of installing ducts from scratch.
