Between 2020 and 2025, NOAA's Storm Events Database logged 27 hail days and 75 days with damaging thunderstorm winds in Cook County. The largest hail reported was 2.75 inches across. Hail flattens the thin aluminum fins on condenser coils and cuts airflow. After a big storm, take a look at the outdoor unit; homeowners insurance often covers the damage. Cook County also had 8 tornado days in that period. In Orland Park, 24.1% of residents are 65 or older. For older adults, a house with no heat in January or no AC during a heat wave is a medical risk. Mention it when you call, since many companies put those calls first.
