Winding streets by the forest preserve and golf course

What Edgebrook Homes Tend to Need

Edgebrook is a wooded neighborhood on the Far Northwest Side, with winding streets that follow the edge of the forest preserve and the Edgebrook golf course. A small business district sits near the Metra station.

Its housing mixes 1920s-era Tudor and Colonial-style homes with post-war brick houses and ranches. Most heat with forced air and have central air, though some older homes kept their radiators.

Mature trees and wooded lots shade many homes, but they also drop leaves, seeds and cottonwood fluff into outdoor AC units, which is one of the most common reasons condensers here lose efficiency.

Common Problems in Edgebrook Homes

The usual calls in Edgebrook’s wooded streets.

Ask a pro
01

Outdoor unit clogged with fluff and leaves

Cottonwood fluff, seeds and leaves pack into condenser coils and block airflow. The unit runs hot, cools less and can shut down. Cleaning the coil fixes it.

↗
02

AC freezing up mid-summer

A clogged outdoor coil, low refrigerant or a dirty indoor filter can all lead to ice on the lines. Turn it off, let it thaw and call if it returns.

↗
03

Older furnace in a Tudor basement

Older furnaces vented through a masonry chimney. When replaced with a high-efficiency model, the chimney may need a liner for the water heater left behind.

Before you replace anything

Keeping AC Running Under Edgebrook’s Trees

Leave at least two feet of clearance around the outdoor unit and rinse the coil gently from the inside out each spring, or include coil cleaning in a yearly service.

If you’re replacing the condenser, consider where trees drop the most debris. Moving the unit a few feet can reduce how quickly it clogs.
