Glencoe Homes, Old and New

Glencoe sits on the Lake Michigan bluffs, cut by wooded ravines, and many of its homes date from the early 1900s through the 1930s:

Older homes built around hot-water radiators, often with no ductwork
Frank Lloyd Wright houses, including the Ravine Bluffs development
Ravine and bluff lots that hold cool, damp air, as they do in neighboring Winnetka

Additions and finished attics mean many homes need more than one system.

Furnace Repair & Replacement in Glencoe, IL

When a furnace stops heating, the cause is often one part: a flame sensor, igniter, blower motor or thermostat. Our furnace repair visits cover each of these, and we check the heat exchanger for cracks so the furnace is safe to run.

If your furnace is 15 to 20 years old or needs a repair every winter, furnace replacement with a Rheem gas furnace up to 98% AFUE is usually the better investment.

Boiler, Hydronic & Radiant Heat in Glencoe, IL

Hot-water boilers still heat many of Glencoe's older homes through cast-iron radiators or radiant floors. Our boiler repair service handles:

Leaks, pressure problems and kettling or banging noises
Radiators that stay cold at the top or never warm up
Fall checks of the expansion tank, relief valve and circulator

Boiler replacement means a Weil-McLain or Lochinvar condensing boiler sized to the house as it is today.

Heat Pumps, Mini-Splits & Commercial Service

In a Glencoe home with ductwork, a ducted heat pump can share the load with a gas furnace. For radiator-heated homes, a ductless mini-split adds cooling without opening plaster walls. Downtown Glencoe businesses can call us for commercial HVAC and commercial refrigeration.

Frequently Asked Questions
for Glencoe Residents

In most cases, yes. Replacing a furnace, boiler, central air conditioner or water heater in Glencoe generally requires a building permit and inspection from the Village of Glencoe, and homes with landmark status may also need review before exterior equipment changes. Confirm current requirements with the Village before work begins.

Often it is. Many older Glencoe homes heat with a boiler and radiators, and pumps, valves, controls and ignition parts can usually be repaired. Once a boiler is 15 to 20 years old, leaking or needing repeated repairs, a new high-efficiency Weil-McLain or Lochinvar boiler can work with your existing radiators or radiant floors.

It can. Sloped ravine lots limit where an outdoor air conditioner or heat pump can sit and how far refrigerant lines and condensate drains must run. Outdoor equipment needs level, accessible ground with clearance for airflow and service. We look at the site during the home assessment and plan equipment placement before installation.

It can. Homes near the lake see humid summers and very dry heated air in winter. A dehumidifier or a correctly sized air conditioner controls summer moisture, and a whole-home humidifier eases dry winter air that dries out woodwork and irritates sinuses. Beck's installs humidifiers, dehumidifiers, air filtration and UV lights.

Have your heating system checked every fall and your cooling system every spring. Heat pumps and mini-splits do both jobs, so they need both visits. Older Glencoe homes with boilers and radiators benefit from an annual boiler tune-up, which includes cleaning the burners, checking water and gas pressure and testing safety controls.

We prioritize quick response times for Glencoe emergencies, typically arriving within hours of your call.
