HVAC Service in Lakeview, Chicago

Lakeview is one of the city’s largest neighborhoods, stretching from the lakefront west past Southport. Belmont and Clark are busy commercial streets, and Alta Vista Terrace, a block of rowhouses near Wrigley Field, is a designated Chicago Landmark district.

Most blocks mix vintage courtyard buildings, greystones and two-flats with newer single-family homes and condo buildings. Steam and hot-water boilers are common in the older buildings, often shared between condo owners.

That leads to Lakeview’s most common HVAC situation: an association managing an old shared boiler while individual owners want their own cooling, usually mini splits or high-velocity systems.
