HVAC Service in Mayfair, Chicago

Mayfair is a small neighborhood on the Northwest Side, near the Kennedy Expressway, the Montrose Blue Line station and its own Metra stop. Its streets are lined with brick bungalows and two-flats, many dating from the 1910s to the 1930s.

Like much of the Bungalow Belt, Mayfair homes started with boilers and radiators. Many bungalows converted to forced air, while two-flats often kept a shared boiler or split into a furnace per unit.

Being close to the expressway and train lines, many owners also care about keeping windows closed in summer, which makes reliable central air or mini splits more than a convenience.

Bungalows here often have finished attics added decades after construction, with knee walls and little insulation behind them. Air sealing those knee walls can make an attic system work much better, and it is worth asking about when adding cooling upstairs.
