Question 3

Do I need a licensed HVAC contractor in Illinois?

Accepted Answer

Illinois requires HVAC contractors to hold the Varies by municipality (Chicago requires Refrigeration Contractor License) license from the No statewide HVAC contractor license — local city/county licensing only. Verifying your contractor holds current credentials protects you on warranty claims, permits, and insurance coverage.

Question 4

How often should I service my HVAC system in Franklin Park's climate?

Accepted Answer

Chicago winters average 18°F lows with lake-effect wind chill, while summers reach 84°F highs with moderate humidity. Heating demand far exceeds cooling, making furnace reliability critical.
