Check before you hire

Four things specific to heat pump work that separate a good estimate from a thin one. The buying guide explains each.

  • Cold-climate rating and the backup heat source written down
  • Electrical permit and panel capacity confirmed before the outdoor unit is ordered
  • ComEd rebate paperwork: who files
  • Changeover temperature for dual-fuel stated
  • Village of River Forest: Yes. New HVAC equipment plus an electrical permit for the circuit; panel change or service upgrade is its own permit. Contractors working in River Forest must hold a Village contractor license and bond, and the Building Department publishes that list.
