Dual-fuel system recommended for Palos Hills
A dual-fuel system pairs a heat pump with a gas furnace backup — the heat pump runs efficiently on mild days while the furnace handles deep cold.
With 6,200 heating degree days and winter lows reaching 24°F, standard heat pumps lose efficiency. The dual-fuel approach gives you heat pump savings on 80% of winter days plus reliable gas heat when temperatures drop below 15-20°F.

How do I verify a HVAC contractor is licensed in Illinois?
Illinois does not license HVAC contractors at the state level — the IDFPR only verifies general business registration. Trade licensing is handled municipally: Chicago requires a Mechanical Contractor license through the Department of Buildings, and most suburbs require local registration plus a plumbing/mechanical license for gas and ductwork. Always confirm an active local license, general liability insurance, and any bond required by the municipality.
Licensing verified weekly. Reviews refreshed within the last 30 days.
Licensing data: Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation (state business registration) plus municipal HVAC licensing (e.g. City of Chicago Department of Buildings) · Company data: verified business records + Google Business profile
