Quality Heating Services​

Furnace Repair

Like all appliances, furnaces break down over time, especially if they’re older and inefficient. A simple HVAC repair will often get your furnace back up and running again in tip-top shape. It’s essential to have your furnace serviced at the first sign of trouble; the longer you wait to have your system repaired, the more serious and expensive issues can become. Some common symptoms your furnace needs to be repaired include low indoor air quality, inconsistent heating, low airflow, short cycling, and strange noises or smells. The heating and air conditioning technicians Ravinia Plumbing are NATE certified and can handle any furnace repairs you might face.

Furnace Installation

All furnaces have a shelf life. Well-maintained furnaces can often last about 15-20 years on average. If your furnace is up there in age, it may be time to replace it with a new, energy-efficient unit. Upgrading to a new furnace can save money on your monthly energy bills and prevent a complete system breakdown on one of the year’s coldest days.

Some common reasons it might be time to consider heating installation and replacement services include the following:

  • The system is over 15 years old
  • Carbon monoxide leak
  • Frequent repairs
  • High energy bills
  • Short cycling
  • Inefficient airflow

Furnace Maintenance

Regular furnace maintenance is the number-one way to keep your heating system running efficiently and prolong your unit’s lifespan. During a furnace tune-up, an HVAC technician will inspect all the unit’s parts, clean necessary components, and recommend fixing minor issues before they lead to something more serious. Furnace maintenance should be performed annually at any time of year, ideally 6 months from your air conditioning preventative maintenance service call.

Some of the benefits of furnace maintenance service include:

  • Increased system lifespan
  • Improved efficiency
  • Lower energy bills
  • Fewer repairs

Boilers and Radiators

Boilers and radiators may seem outdated because they’ve been around for so long, but they are a highly effective way to heat your home. Whether you own a boiler or want one, Ravinia Plumbing can offer high-quality maintenance, repair, and installation service for radiators and boilers.

Radiant Heating

Radiant heating systems are growing in popularity to quickly and efficiently heat homes. Coils or tubes are placed under the flooring with a radiant heating system. As the pipes or coils heat up, the floor warms, and that heat rises to control the room’s temperature effectively. Some benefits of radiant heating systems include greater energy efficiency, increased temperature consistency, and no ductwork.

Heat Pumps

Heat pumps are an energy-efficient heating and cooling system that many Chicago North Shore area homeowners are switching to. What makes these systems different from a furnace is that they transfer heat instead of generating it, which uses a lot less efficiency. Modern developments to heat pump technology have made them much more reliable in colder weather, even in Chicago. Now is a great time to have a heat pump installed with the government and manufacturer rebates and tax incentives. Ravinia Plumbing can support your heat pump throughout its lifetime with thorough maintenance and comprehensive repairs.

High Velocity HVAC Systems

High-velocity HVAC systems are similar to traditional heating and cooling systems. The most significant difference is how they distribute air. With a high-velocity system, the air is circulated through tubes two inches in diameter. High-velocity systems quickly force air through these tubes to accelerate heating and cooling for improved efficiency.  These systems are typically installed into homes that are heated by a boiler and do not have air conditioning.
