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.

About Streamwood HVAC
Streamwood's suburban profile means most HVAC work is replacement rather than new-build. With only 2 HVAC providers on file in Streamwood, expect some providers to quote travel premiums. Compare any available pro's license and insurance before signing.
Streamwood's winter design temps (January averages near 24°F) sit at the edge of standard heat-pump efficiency, which is why dual-fuel setups — heat pump plus gas furnace backup — have become the contractor-preferred configuration here. ComEd (Commonwealth Edison)'s ComEd Energy Efficiency Heat Pump Rebate currently offers up to $1,800 toward a qualifying system, which meaningfully shifts the cost-of-ownership math.

How do I verify a HVAC contractor is licensed in Illinois?

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
