Elgin, Illinois is a city located in the northern part of the state.
Elgin is located about 40 miles north of Chicago, near the Fox River.
Elgin is located in both Cook and Kane counties. Elgin’s population totals more than 100,000, making it one of the larger metropolitan areas outside of Chicago and the 7th largest city in the state. During the winter months, the city of Elgin has freezing temperatures, snow, and ice. During the summer months, Elgin is actually a very warm place. I love Elgin during the summer months when the temperatures are mild. During the summer, we frequently have temperatures that are close to 90°. When I have a day off from work, I like to go to the river to go fishing. I don’t get a lot of days off during the summer months, because I work for an Elgin, Illinois, HVAC repair center. We are busiest during the winter and summer months. During the summer months I have to repair and install commercial and residential AC systems and components. One time last summer I had to work from 7:00 in the morning until almost 10:00 at night. I made about $300 in commission that day, but I was tired at the end of the day and I wanted to take the next day off.I can’t remember a time when I worked harder. I had three separate repairs that day and I had to travel back to the office in Elgin twice for parts. I put 280 miles on my work truck in one day and I never left Elgin.
