Bungalows, two-flats and Victorian homes on the city’s west edge

What Austin Homes Tend to Need

Austin is one of the city’s largest neighborhoods, stretching along Chicago’s western border with Oak Park. Columbus Park, designed by Jens Jensen, sits at its southern end, and the old Austin Town Hall stands at its center.

Austin began as a separate suburb before it joined Chicago in 1899, which is why it has some of the West Side’s finest Victorian homes, alongside large numbers of brick bungalows and two-flats from the early 1900s.

Many bungalows and Victorians still heat with boilers and radiators; others converted to forced air. Two-flats are split between shared boilers and separate furnaces.

Given the age of the housing, safety checks on older heating equipment and venting are an important part of every fall service.

Common Problems in Austin Homes

What Austin’s older homes need.

Ask a pro

Old furnace, cracked heat exchanger

A cracked heat exchanger can let combustion gases into the air. If one is found, the furnace should be shut down and replaced.

↗

Victorian third floor too hot

Large Victorian homes need dedicated cooling for upper floors. A high-velocity air handler in the attic is a common fix.

↗

Bungalow attic without heat

Finished attics often have no heat at all. A ductless system heats and cools them on their own.

Before you replace anything

Safety First in Austin’s Older Homes

Have older furnaces and boilers checked every fall for carbon monoxide, venting and safety controls, and keep working CO alarms on every floor.

When replacing a furnace, confirm what happens to the chimney. A water heater left alone in an old chimney may need a liner.
