Will County · ZIP 60404
A new furnace is a 15-to-20-year relationship. The equipment matters, but the sizing, venting, and commissioning are what decide whether a Shorewood home actually gets what it paid for.
Apex Climate Control installs furnaces throughout Shorewood — on the DuPage River southwest of Joliet — working out of North Aurora, about 46 minutes from our North Aurora shop.
Install day means sheet metal that fits, venting and condensate done to code, gas connections tested, and a full commissioning: temperature rise, static pressure, and safety verification before we leave.

Install day, step by step:
Before any recommendation, we size up the actual building — envelope, ductwork, venting path, and how the outgoing furnace really performed through past winters — so capacity and efficiency get chosen by evidence.
Multiple tiers with real model numbers and real prices — plus the current $175 single-unit or $350 full-system discount applied where it fits. No shortcuts on that step — not in Shorewood, not anywhere.
Old unit out, new furnace set with properly fitted transitions, venting and condensate to code, gas leak-tested, drop cloths down the whole way. Ask any Shorewood customer who has watched us work.
Temperature rise, gas pressure, static pressure, and safety controls verified with instruments; warranty registered; thermostat and filter walkthrough before we go.
What a new furnace costs in Shorewood — the honest levers:
The efficiency decision deserves honest math for Will County winters: a condensing furnace costs more up front and saves real gas every heating season here — our winters are long enough that the payback is genuine, not theoretical. But an 80% unit remains the right answer in some venting situations, and we will tell you when yours is one of them instead of forcing the premium sale. Will County homeowners have seen enough games; we just do not play them.
A large share of Shorewood furnaces went in during the same building years, and they are aging out on the same clock. Replacing yours on a mild week in your own timeline beats replacing it during a January cold snap on the emergency schedule.
The replacement missteps that cost for decades:
Real customers, real Google reviews
“The Apex Climate Control technicians are simply the BEST!”
“Great service and quality work, thanks!”
Good to know
If the AC is also in the 12–15+ year range, pairing them saves duplicate labor, gets matched components, and qualifies for the $350 full-system discount. If your AC is young, we will tell you to keep it.
Always — removal and proper disposal of the outgoing equipment is built into every install we do. Either way, you will get a straight answer from us.
A standard replacement is typically completed in a day. Venting changes, duct modifications, or full-system installs can add time — you will know before we start. That has held true on every Shorewood job we have run.
That one is not a judgment call. A cracked exchanger can push combustion gases — carbon monoxide included — into your home's air, and on older furnaces the repair costs so much that replacement wins anyway. It is the single diagnosis where we will not help you limp along.
Yes — Enhancify approves down to a 550 score, with 0% promotional terms for qualified customers, and the online application takes minutes with no obligation attached.
With heating seasons this long, 95%+ condensing furnaces usually earn their premium back in fuel savings — but the right answer depends on your venting situation, how long you plan to stay, and your budget. We lay out the math for your actual house.
The house decides — envelope, windows, insulation, duct capacity — not the label on the old unit. Homes get air-sealed, remodeled, and re-windowed over decades; matching the old furnace just repeats a sizing decision somebody made for a different version of your house.
