Large homes on wooded lots

What Forest Glen Homes Tend to Need

Forest Glen is one of the most wooded neighborhoods in the city, bordered by Cook County forest preserves along the North Branch of the Chicago River and served by its own Metra stop. Many homes sit on larger lots than are typical in Chicago.

The houses range from early-1900s homes to mid-century brick and later custom houses, many with two full stories, finished basements and additions. Most heat with forced air, and a share of older homes still use hot-water radiators.

Bigger homes often run more than one system, and the tree canopy that makes Forest Glen attractive also sends leaves and seeds into outdoor AC units.

Common Problems in Forest Glen Homes

Calls that come with large homes on wooded lots.

Ask a pro

Additions that never feel right

Additions tied into the original system often get too little air. A ductless unit for the addition or a dedicated zone usually fixes it.

↗

Two systems, one thermostat schedule

Homes with two furnaces or ACs need each thermostat set for the floor it serves. Programs that fight each other waste energy and leave rooms uneven.

↗

Debris in the condenser

Leaves and seeds clog outdoor coils, especially in late spring. Yearly coil cleaning keeps the AC running at full capacity.

Before you replace anything

Planning Equipment for a Larger Forest Glen Home

For a house with several levels, ask whether two smaller systems would serve it better than one large one. Each floor gets its own control, and a failure doesn’t take out the whole house.

Place new outdoor units away from the heaviest tree cover where possible, with clearance for airflow and service.
