Mid-century homes on Pill Hill

What Calumet Heights Homes Tend to Need

Calumet Heights sits on the Far South Side, and its best-known section, Pill Hill, takes its nickname from the many doctors who once lived there. The streets are lined with large mid-century brick homes, many split-levels, ranches and Georgians built in the 1950s and 1960s.

Homes from that era were designed with forced-air furnaces and central air from the start, often with generous ductwork and finished lower levels.

Many of these larger homes are now on their second or third furnace and AC, and owners are weighing high-efficiency replacements and zoning.

Split-levels and multi-level homes are the typical comfort challenge, with each level running at a different temperature.

Common Problems in Calumet Heights Homes

What comes up in Calumet Heights homes.

Ask a pro

Split-level with every level different

Split-levels put rooms at four heights on one system. Zoning or careful balancing keeps each level comfortable.

↗

Large house, oversized furnace

Original furnaces in big mid-century homes were often oversized. A correctly sized two-stage unit runs longer, quieter cycles.

↗

Dry air in a big house

Large homes heated for months get very dry. A whole-house humidifier makes rooms feel warmer at a lower setting.

↗

Before you replace anything

Replacing Equipment in a Pill Hill Home

Ask for a load calculation and a look at zoning. Larger multi-level homes benefit most from equipment that can vary its output.

If the furnace and AC are both original replacements from decades ago, consider replacing them together.
