HVAC Service in Chinatown, Chicago

Chinatown centers on Wentworth Avenue and Cermak Road, marked by the Chinatown Gate and extending north to Chinatown Square and Ping Tom Memorial Park on the river. It is one of the city’s most densely populated South Side neighborhoods.

Older blocks are lined with brick two- and three-flats from the early 1900s, while the areas near the river and the park have newer townhomes and mid-rise condo buildings built since the 1990s.

Many households are multi-generational, and buildings often house family members on each floor. That puts a lot of demand on water heaters and on keeping every unit warm in winter.

Older flats tend to have a shared boiler or a furnace per unit; newer townhomes have gas furnaces with central air, often three stories tall with the equipment on the ground floor.
