HVAC Service in East Garfield Park, Chicago

East Garfield Park is home to the Garfield Park Conservatory, opened in 1908 and one of the largest conservatories in the country, along with the park itself.

The surrounding blocks hold greystones, brick two- and three-flats and some newer homes. Many buildings date from the late 1800s and early 1900s.

Older buildings often heat with boilers and radiators. Newer homes and rehabs typically have forced air with central AC.

With a mix of old and new housing, calls range from steam boiler repairs to central air in newer homes.

Garfield Park and the conservatory draw visitors all year, but most of the neighborhood is residential, and many buildings are owned by families or small landlords who manage the heating themselves. A boiler that has been patched for years often needs a careful look before the next winter.
