HVAC Service in Clearing, Chicago

Clearing sits at the southwest edge of the city, west of Midway Airport, and takes its name from the Clearing rail yard, one of the largest rail classification yards in the country. Its residential streets filled in 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 later fitted with central air.

Many homes close to the airport were included in Midway’s sound insulation program, which in some homes added central air along with new windows and doors.

Cape Cods are a recurring comfort challenge: the upstairs bedrooms under the roof run hot in summer and often have only one or two small supply vents.
