What Lakeshore East Homes Tend to Need

Lakeshore East is one of the city’s newest neighborhoods, built since the early 2000s around a central park on land near where the Chicago River meets the lake. Its towers include some of the city’s best-known modern residential buildings.

Because the buildings are newer, most in-unit equipment is still in its first or second decade: water-source heat pumps or fan coils, often with smart thermostats and building-wide controls.

Even newer systems need yearly service. Filters, coils and condensate drains are the same in a new tower as in an old one, and neglect shows up as leaks and weak cooling.

Large windows with views of the lake, river and park are part of the appeal, and they make sun control part of staying comfortable.

Common Problems in Lakeshore East Homes

What comes up even in newer towers.

Ask a pro

Smart thermostat not controlling the unit

Wiring, settings or a communication fault between the thermostat and the heat pump can stop control. A technician checks both ends.

↗

Musty smell from the unit

Standing water in the drain pan or a dirty coil grows mold. Cleaning the pan, coil and drain usually clears it.

↗

Unit cycling on and off

Short cycling can come from a dirty filter, low airflow or a control problem. Left alone, it wears the compressor.

Keeping Newer Equipment Running in Lakeshore East

Don’t skip yearly service because the building is new. Most early failures in newer heat pumps come from clogged drains and dirty coils.

Keep the area around the in-unit equipment clear. Furniture blocking the return grille reduces airflow and capacity.
