Choosing the Right HVAC System for Springfield’s Climate

Central Air Conditioning

Springfield’s hot summers, averaging 87°F in July with 70% humidity, make reliable central air conditioning essential. Our high-efficiency units, meeting Illinois' SEER 14 standard, are tailored to handle the summer humidity and heatwaves.

For older homes in the Springfield Historic District or homes with limited space, ductless mini-splits provide flexible cooling options. They are energy-efficient, often delivering 20-30% savings over traditional systems, and perfect for retrofitting narrower spaces or historic buildings with minimal disturbance.

Heat Pumps

Given Springfield's significant heating demand with nearly 4,800 heating degree days, high-efficiency heat pumps are a smart choice. They provide both heating and cooling, especially in newer neighborhoods like Southwind or Chatham, where energy savings and environmental benefits are highly valued. These systems, with prices ranging from $4,500 to $9,000, can deliver up to 30% in utility savings and qualify for Illinois rebates of up to $1,200.
