HVAC Service in Pullman, Chicago

Pullman was built in the 1880s by George Pullman as a planned company town for the workers who built his railroad sleeping cars. The 1894 Pullman Strike made it a landmark of American labor history.

The district is a Chicago Landmark district, became a national monument in 2015 and is now Pullman National Historical Park. Most of its brick rowhouses are still private homes.

Rowhouses here share walls, have small basements and sit close to the street, which makes equipment placement and venting the main questions on any job.

Many have been converted from their original heating to forced air or modern boilers, and owners want cooling that doesn’t change the look of the historic facades.

Many Pullman rowhouses have been lovingly restored by their owners, inside and out. Heating and cooling are usually the parts where modern comfort and historic character have to be balanced most carefully.
