HVAC Service in Ashburn, Chicago

Ashburn sits on the far Southwest Side. In the early days of aviation it was home to the Ashburn Flying Field, one of Chicago’s first airfields; the land later filled with homes, mostly after World War II.

Brick Cape Cods, ranches, raised ranches and bungalows make up most of the housing, nearly all built with forced-air furnaces and ductwork.

Central air was added to most homes over the years, and many are now on their second or third furnace and AC.

Cape Cod upstairs rooms and raised-ranch lower levels are the usual comfort problems, along with timing replacements before a breakdown.

Ashburn’s homes were mostly built over a span of about twenty years after the war, so many houses on a block share the same age and layout. When one neighbor’s furnace starts failing, it’s often a sign the rest of the block’s are not far behind.
