Palatine housing and HVAC
Most homes have basements or crawl spaces with gas furnaces and central AC. Many are on second- or third-generation equipment with original ductwork, and condo associations often have rules for outdoor units.
Palatine has cold, snowy winters with polar vortex cold snaps that have dropped below -20°F, and warm, humid summers with highs in the mid-80s. Spring storms bring hail and high winds.
Permits and seasonal timing in Palatine
The Village of Palatine Community and Economic Development Department issues mechanical permits, and ComEd and Nicor Gas have offered efficiency rebates. Book furnace service by October.
Aging furnaces and AC
Many homes from the 1960s to 1980s are on furnaces and AC units nearing the end of their life, which often fail during the first cold snap or heat wave.
Split-level comfort
Split-levels often have cold lower levels and warm upper levels, which duct balancing or zoning can improve.
Dry winter air
Long heating seasons dry out indoor air, so whole-home humidifiers are common.
