Highland Park Homes, Old and New

Highland Park was incorporated in 1869, so its homes span more than 150 years, and many run more than one heating system:

  • Victorian and Prairie-style homes, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Willits House, built around hot-water radiators
  • Houses on the ravines that run down to Lake Michigan, where winter wind off the bluffs finds every drafty window
  • Postwar west-side neighborhoods built with ductwork from the start

Summer humidity off the lake makes moisture control as important as cooling in many basements and upper floors.

Furnace Repair & Replacement in Highland Park, IL

A furnace that won't light, short-cycles or blows cold air usually has an ignition, airflow or control problem. Our furnace repair visits cover igniters, blower motors, thermostats and burners, and we check the heat exchanger for cracks before the furnace goes back into service.

When repairs start adding up on an older unit, we size and install a new furnace, including Rheem gas furnaces up to 98% AFUE, from your home's square footage, insulation and layout.

Boiler, Hydronic & Radiant Heat in Highland Park, IL

Hot-water heat runs through Highland Park, from cast-iron radiators in older homes to radiant floors in renovated kitchens and baths. Our boiler repair service handles:

  • Leaks, pressure problems and ignition failures
  • Bleeding radiators and repairing valves so every room heats evenly
  • Fall checks of the expansion tank, relief valve and circulator

For boiler installation, we install Weil-McLain and Lochinvar high-efficiency boilers.

Beck's is ready to help with any air conditioner replacement you need!

Heat Pumps, Mini-Splits & Commercial Service

A ducted heat pump can carry a Highland Park home through spring and fall and share the load with a gas furnace in deep winter. For a sunroom, converted garage or third floor, a ductless mini-split adds heating and cooling with no new ductwork. Downtown and Ravinia businesses can call us for commercial HVAC and commercial refrigeration.

Frequently Asked Questions
for Highland Park Residents

Generally, yes. The City of Highland Park requires permits for most mechanical and plumbing work, which covers furnace, boiler, air conditioner and water heater replacements. The inspection confirms the gas piping, venting and electrical connections were done safely. Requirements change, so check with the City before work starts.

We repair, maintain and install gas furnaces, boilers and hydronic heating, ducted heat pumps and ductless mini-splits, and we repair and maintain geothermal systems. For new equipment we feature Rheem furnaces and heat pumps and Weil-McLain and Lochinvar boilers. Highland Park homeowners can book online or call to schedule.

Yes. Highland Park's older homes often heat with boilers and radiators, have little room for ductwork or have additions that heat and cool unevenly. We repair and replace boilers and hydronic systems, bleed radiators and repair valves, and install ductless mini-splits for rooms that ducts cannot reach.

Start with humidity: a whole-home humidifier for dry winter air and a dehumidifier for humid lake-area summers. Then add filtration or purification, such as AprilAire and Honeywell filtration or a REME HALO purifier. A HAVEN air quality monitor shows particulates, VOCs, CO2, temperature and humidity so you can see what changed.

Twice a year: heating in the fall and cooling in the spring. Heat pumps and mini-splits heat and cool, so they benefit from both visits. Regular tune-ups keep efficiency up through Highland Park's cold winters and humid summers and catch worn parts before they fail on the coldest night of the year.

As a local company, we prioritize quick response times for Highland Park emergencies, typically arriving within hours of your call.
