Your HVAC Contractor Serving Clarendon Hills
Clarendon Hills is a tight-knit village with tree-lined streets, well-kept homes, and summers that push every air conditioner to its limit. Many homes along Burlington Avenue and near Prospect Park were built in the mid-20th century – meaning the HVAC systems in those houses have been through decades of Chicago-area weather.
New Comfort Heating and Cooling provides full HVAC services in Clarendon Hills, IL – from emergency furnace repair on a January night to AC replacement before the first heatwave. We’re based in Justice, just a short drive down I-294, and our trucks are in the Clarendon Hills area regularly.

Why Clarendon Hills Homeowners Trust New Comfort
Clarendon Hills homes range from classic 1950s ranches near the Metra station to newer builds along 55th Street. Each one has different HVAC needs – different ductwork layouts, different insulation levels, different equipment ages. We don’t do one-size-fits-all.
We’re not a national chain sending a random tech from an hour away. We’re a local team based in Justice with over 13 years of experience in the western suburbs. Our technicians know the building styles, the common system types, and the local climate demands.
Every job comes with upfront pricing, honest recommendations, and work documented with before-and-after photos. If a repair will fix it, we repair it. We don’t push replacements to pad a ticket.
HVAC Services Clarendon Hills Homes Need: Old Houses and New Builds
Drive through Clarendon Hills and you will see two kinds of houses side by side: original mid-century homes and much larger new houses built where older ones were torn down. Each needs a different approach from an HVAC contractor.
In older homes, the ductwork was often sized for a furnace alone. Central air came later, and second-floor additions were tied into ducts that were never meant to carry that much air. The result is weak airflow upstairs, noisy registers, and a furnace or AC that runs long cycles without evening out the house.
Newer homes bring the opposite challenges. Many have two systems, an air handler in the attic, or zoning dampers, and tighter construction that makes ventilation and humidity control more important. Our HVAC services in Clarendon Hills cover both – from furnace repair in a 1950s basement to tuning a two-zone system in a recent build.
Our Work
Real work by New Comfort Heating and Cooling
Dry Winter Air and Whole-House Humidifiers
Clarendon Hills winters bring weeks of cold, dry air. Once the furnace runs all day, indoor humidity can drop low enough to cause static shocks, dry skin, and gaps in hardwood floors and trim – something owners of older homes with original woodwork notice quickly.
A whole-house humidifier mounted on the furnace adds moisture back to the air as it heats. It needs a fresh water panel each season and a quick check of the drain and solenoid, which we handle during a fall furnace tune-up.
Too much humidity is a problem too. Condensation on windows means the setting is too high for the outdoor temperature. We set the humidistat correctly and show you how to adjust it as the weather changes.
Mature Trees, Tight Side Yards and Your Air Conditioner
The tall trees that line Clarendon Hills streets shade your home and take some load off the AC. They also drop seeds, leaves, and cottonwood fluff that pack into the outdoor coil. A clogged coil makes the compressor work harder and is one of the most common reasons we get AC repair calls in early summer.
Many lots near the downtown and the Metra line are narrow, with the condenser squeezed into a side yard a few feet from the neighbor. Placement matters: the unit needs clearance for airflow, and a quieter model is worth considering when it sits under a bedroom window – yours or the house next door.
A simple routine helps. In spring, clear debris from around the unit and rinse the coil gently from the inside out, or let us clean it during a tune-up. In fall, trim back shrubs and keep at least two feet of open space on every side.
Furnace Safety and Planning HVAC Around a Remodel
Older furnaces deserve extra attention. A cracked heat exchanger or a blocked flue can leak carbon monoxide into the house. Every heating tune-up we do includes a combustion and safety check, and we recommend working CO alarms on every level – the EPA explains why carbon monoxide matters.
If you are finishing a basement, adding a room, or remodeling a kitchen, plan the heating and cooling before the drywall goes up. Extending ducts, adding a return, or choosing a ductless unit is far easier with the walls open. Our blog compares ductless vs. traditional AC for homes like these.

+
Usually, yes. In many older Clarendon Hills homes the upstairs runs hot because the ducts were never sized for central air. Depending on the house, the fix may be balancing dampers, an added return, a variable-speed blower, zoning, or a ductless unit for the hottest rooms. We measure airflow first so you only pay for what will help.
+
Yes. We calculate the added heating and cooling load, check whether your current furnace and AC can handle it, and recommend extending the ductwork or adding a separate system. Bringing us in early, before walls are closed, keeps the job simpler and less expensive.
+
Look for an HVAC contractor who inspects before quoting, explains the problem in plain terms, and puts the price in writing. Ask whether they handle both furnace repair and AC repair, so one company knows your whole system. A local team that answers the phone 24/7 matters most on the coldest and hottest days of the year.
+
Check that the thermostat is set to heat, the furnace switch is on, and the filter is not clogged. If the furnace still will not run, call us – emergency furnace repair is available 24/7. If you smell gas, leave the house first and call your gas utility from outside.
