Common Problems in Gold Coast Homes
What Gold Coast buildings bring to HVAC.
Ask a pro↗
No visible place for a condenser
In the landmark districts, visible equipment is generally not approved. Roofs and rear areas are the usual locations.
Mansion with three systems
Large homes often have a boiler, a high-velocity system and ductless units. Controls must be coordinated so they don’t work against each other.
Before you replace anything
Work in the Astor Street and East Lake Shore Drive Districts
Exterior changes in these districts are checked by the Commission on Chicago Landmarks as part of the permit. Plan condenser and vent locations out of view from the street.
In co-ops, the board often must approve any work that changes the building’s exterior or common systems. Ask first.
