D's Air & Heating — Authorized Carrier Installation Dealer
Professional Carrier equipment sales, installation, replacement, maintenance, and repair services throughout Chicago and the surrounding suburbs.
Why D's Air & Heating, Inc. Recommends the Performance™ 97
The Carrier Performance™ 97 furnace is the top tier of the Performance Series — a modulating, variable-speed unit that rivals Infinity® performance at a more accessible price point. Its two-stage modulating gas valve adjusts heat output in small increments, maintaining your set temperature within a fraction of a degree rather than cycling on and off at full blast.
Chicago winters demand a furnace that can handle sustained sub-zero temperatures without sacrificing efficiency. The 59TP7's variable-speed ECM blower motor runs at the lowest speed needed to maintain comfort, reducing energy consumption and eliminating the temperature swings common with single-stage furnaces. D's Air & Heating, Inc. installs and services the Performance™ 97 across all Chicago neighborhoods.

- Up to 97% AFUE — top-tier efficiency
- Modulating gas valve — precise heat output
- Variable-speed ECM blower — ultra-quiet operation
- 10-year extended parts warranty (registered)
- Carrier Authorized Dealer installation

Why D's Air & Heating, Inc. Installs the Performance™ 97
97% AFUE Efficiency
Only 3 cents of every dollar spent on gas escapes as waste. The Performance™ 97 is among the most efficient furnaces available — reducing utility bills through Chicago's coldest months.
Modulating Gas Valve
The modulating valve adjusts heat output in small increments — not just high/low — maintaining your set temperature within a fraction of a degree for consistent, even comfort.
Variable-Speed ECM Blower
The ECM blower motor ramps up and down based on demand, running at the lowest speed needed. This reduces energy use, eliminates temperature swings, and operates nearly silently.
Silencer System II
Carrier's Silencer System II design reduces sound levels to as low as 58 dB — quieter than a normal conversation. You'll barely know it's running.
Communicating System Ready
The 59TP7 communicates with Carrier Infinity® and Performance™ thermostats for smarter system control, energy reporting, and fault diagnostics.
10-Year Extended Warranty
Registered within 90 days by D's Air & Heating, Inc., the Performance™ 97 qualifies for Carrier's 10-year extended parts warranty — including a 20-year heat exchanger warranty.

Why Chicago Homeowners Choose Carrier Furnaces — Installed by D's Air & Heating
Chicago winters are unforgiving. With temperatures regularly dropping below zero and wind chills that make it feel even colder, your home's heating system isn't just a comfort feature — it's a necessity. That's why so many homeowners across Chicago, Oak Park, Berwyn, Cicero, and the surrounding suburbs trust D's Air & Heating, Inc. — an Authorized Carrier Installation Dealer — to install their Carrier furnace.
Carrier furnaces are engineered for high-efficiency performance, with AFUE ratings reaching up to 98% on select models. That means nearly every dollar you spend on natural gas goes directly toward heating your home — not escaping through the flue. For Chicago homeowners dealing with rising energy costs, upgrading to a high-efficiency Carrier furnace can deliver meaningful savings on monthly utility bills while keeping every room consistently warm throughout the heating season.
Professional installation is the single most important factor in furnace performance and longevity. Even the best furnace will underperform if it's improperly sized, incorrectly vented, or poorly connected to your existing ductwork. At D's Air & Heating, our licensed technicians perform a full load calculation before recommending a system, ensuring your new Carrier furnace is matched precisely to your home's square footage, insulation levels, and layout. We handle everything from removal of your old equipment to startup testing and thermostat calibration.
Carrier furnaces also come backed by strong manufacturer warranties — but those warranties require installation by an authorized dealer to remain valid. As a Carrier Authorized Installation Dealer, D's Air & Heating ensures your warranty coverage is fully activated from day one. We also offer flexible financing options so you can invest in the right system for your home without straining your budget.
Whether you're replacing an aging furnace that's struggling to keep up, upgrading from an 80% AFUE system to a 96% or higher model, or installing a furnace in a new addition, D's Air & Heating is ready to help. We serve Chicago's West Side, the Near West Suburbs, and communities throughout Cook County. Call us at (773) 940-0965 or request a free estimate online today.
Why Carrier Furnaces? A Legacy of Heating Innovation
Carrier invented modern air conditioning in 1902 and has spent over a century engineering comfort systems that homeowners and contractors trust. Today, Carrier furnaces represent the pinnacle of residential heating technology — combining ultra-high AFUE efficiency, variable-speed ECM blower motors, modulating gas valves, and communicating thermostat integration into systems that deliver consistent, quiet, energy-efficient warmth.
Carrier's Performance Series furnaces are built for reliability in demanding climates. Two-stage and modulating gas valves allow the furnace to run at lower capacity during mild weather — reducing energy consumption, minimizing temperature swings, and extending equipment life. The variable-speed ECM blower motor runs continuously at low speed to maintain even temperatures throughout your home, eliminating the blasts of hot air followed by cold drafts that older single-stage furnaces produce.

Chicago's Climate and Your HVAC System
Chicago winters are among the most demanding in the continental United States. Average January temperatures hover around 22°F, with wind chills regularly pushing the feels-like temperature well below zero. During polar vortex events, outdoor temperatures can drop to -20°F or colder. A furnace that's undersized, poorly installed, or nearing the end of its service life isn't just uncomfortable — it's a safety risk.
A properly sized, professionally installed Carrier furnace is engineered to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures even during Chicago's worst cold snaps. High-efficiency models with AFUE ratings of 96% or higher extract maximum heat from every cubic foot of natural gas. For Chicago homeowners spending 5–6 months per year running their heating system, that efficiency difference translates to hundreds of dollars in annual savings.

Repair vs. Replace: Making the Right Decision
Most gas furnaces have a service life of 15–20 years. If your furnace is approaching or past that age, frequent repairs, rising energy bills, and uneven heating are signs that replacement is more cost-effective than continued repair. Key indicators include: repair costs exceeding 50% of replacement cost, AFUE below 80%, yellow or flickering burner flame, or a system that can no longer maintain comfortable temperatures during cold weather.
Upgrading from a 70% AFUE furnace to a 96%+ Carrier model can reduce your heating energy consumption by more than 25% — savings that compound every year for the life of the new system. D's Air & Heating, Inc. provides honest repair-vs-replace assessments with no pressure to buy.
Financing Your Carrier Installation
A new Carrier system is a significant investment — and D's Air & Heating, Inc. offers flexible financing options to make it more accessible. With approved credit, you may qualify for low monthly payments that let you upgrade to a higher-efficiency system without a large upfront cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
What AFUE rating should I choose for a Chicago home?
For Chicago's climate, we recommend 96% AFUE or higher. The energy savings over a standard 80% AFUE furnace are substantial given Chicago's long heating season, and high-efficiency models qualify for utility rebates and federal tax credits.
How long does a Carrier furnace installation take?
A standard furnace replacement typically takes 4–6 hours. Installations requiring ductwork modifications or new venting may take longer. D's Air & Heating, Inc. will give you a time estimate before the job begins.
Does Carrier require professional installation for the warranty?
Yes. Carrier's manufacturer warranty requires installation by an authorized dealer. As an Authorized Carrier Installation Dealer, D's Air & Heating, Inc. activates your full warranty at installation.
What size furnace does my Chicago home need?
Furnace sizing is based on a Manual J heat load calculation — not just square footage. Factors include insulation levels, window area, ceiling height, and air infiltration. D's Air & Heating, Inc. performs a proper load calculation before recommending a BTU size.
Can I keep my existing thermostat with a new Carrier furnace?
Most Carrier furnaces are compatible with standard 24V thermostats. For full communicating capability — including fault diagnostics and energy reporting — a Carrier Performance™ or Infinity® thermostat is recommended.
Do Carrier furnaces qualify for rebates or tax credits?
High-efficiency Carrier furnaces may qualify for utility rebates and the federal energy-efficient home improvement tax credit. D's Air & Heating, Inc. will advise on available incentives at the time of your free estimate.
Do I need a service contract to keep my Carrier warranty valid?
No. D's Air & Heating, Inc. never requires a service contract. Your Carrier manufacturer warranty is valid without a maintenance agreement.
How do I know if I should repair or replace my furnace?
If your furnace is over 15 years old, repair costs exceed 50% of replacement cost, or your energy bills have increased significantly, replacement is usually more cost-effective. D's Air & Heating, Inc. provides honest assessments with no pressure to buy.
What areas does D's Air & Heating, Inc. serve?
We serve Chicago and surrounding communities including Oak Lawn, Orland Park, Tinley Park, Palos Heights, Bridgeview, Hickory Hills, Burbank, Evergreen Park, Alsip, Crestwood, Homer Glen, Oak Park, Berwyn, and Cicero.
