HVAC Service in Mount Greenwood, Chicago

Mount Greenwood occupies the city’s far southwest corner, bordered by suburbs and several large cemeteries. Saint Xavier University sits on its eastern edge, and the neighborhood is known for its many city workers and close-knit blocks.

Most homes were built after World War II: brick Cape Cods, ranches, raised ranches and bungalows, nearly all with forced-air furnaces and central air.

Many houses have had additions and finished basements over the years, which often stretch the original heating and cooling system beyond what it was sized for.

Replacement decisions, additions that never feel comfortable and Cape Cod upstairs rooms are the common topics.

Many Mount Greenwood families have stayed in the same homes for generations and expanded them rather than moving, so it’s common to find a house that is half again as large as when it was built, still running on ductwork designed for the original footprint.
