Weak heat in the back of the house
Long, small ducts to rear rooms lose heat. Sealing ducts and improving return air helps those rooms keep up.
Old boiler, new owner
New owners often inherit a decades-old boiler with no service history. A full inspection shows whether it can keep going or should be replaced.

Buying or Upgrading a Portage Park Bungalow
If you’ve just bought a bungalow, have the heating system inspected before winter, especially if the boiler or furnace has no service records.
Plan attic comfort separately. Upgrading the main furnace rarely fixes the attic; a dedicated system usually does.
