Cardinal Heating & Cooling was founded in May 2010 by Chuck Kasper and Ed Lane, both of whom brought substantial HVAC experience into the company from the outset.
Lane entered the business with more than two decades in the trade and formal HVAC apprenticeship training. Kasper brought a similarly established field background, along with additional training in zoning and comfort controls.
That technical foundation continues to shape Cardinal’s work today.
The company provides air-conditioning, furnace, boiler, indoor-air-quality, thermostat, repair, maintenance, installation, and emergency HVAC services for residential and commercial properties throughout the Chicago suburbs.
One area Cardinal places particular emphasis on is duct sizing and system design, a capability that becomes especially important when standard, one-size-fits-all approaches are not appropriate.
Cardinal Heating & Cooling’s team brings together decades of HVAC experience, with expertise spanning system design, installation, service, and specialized climate-control work.
Custom Cooling Begins With the Space
Cardinal is also an authorized dealer of US Cellar Systems, giving homeowners and business owners access to specialized wine-cellar cooling equipment supported by a contractor with experience in custom HVAC planning.
Wine-cellar climate control is highly dependent on the characteristics of the room itself. Insulation, construction materials, glass, surrounding temperatures, airflow, duct configuration, and equipment placement all influence the cooling approach.
Cardinal’s background in duct sizing, zoning, comfort controls, and custom system design is directly relevant to those decisions. The company also has documented experience with custom wine-cellar cooling systems, allowing cellar work to sit naturally within its broader HVAC capabilities rather than as a separate discipline.
Wine Cellar Cooling as a Dedicated Service
Wine-cellar cooling is not simply an extension of Cardinal’s general HVAC work. It is a service the company specifically develops, installs, repairs, and maintains.
Cardinal offers custom wine-cellar cooling system design and installation, along with service for existing cooling equipment. Its technicians work with self-contained, split, and fully ducted wine-cooling systems, giving homeowners and business owners several ways to integrate climate control into a cellar depending on the layout, architectural requirements, and available mechanical space.

The company also addresses two of the most important considerations in cellar climate management: temperature consistency and humidity control. Rather than treating the project as conventional air conditioning, Cardinal approaches cellar cooling around the slower, more controlled operation required for wine-storage environments.
For existing installations, Cardinal provides diagnostics and repair, emergency service, filter changes, coil cleaning, operational checks, and ongoing maintenance. That full-service capability is useful for property owners who need support not only during initial installation but throughout the operating life of the system.
A Team With Defined Responsibilities
Cardinal also introduces the people responsible for its day-to-day work.
Alongside owners Ed Lane and Chuck Kasper, Mark Havlik serves as Service Manager, bringing experience in residential and commercial HVAC installation, service, and troubleshooting. Kathy Tripiccio, the company’s Office Manager, supports scheduling, customer communication, and project administration.
That structure gives customers a clear path from initial consultation through evaluation, written recommendations, installation, and ongoing service.
