HVAC Service in Ravenswood, Chicago

Ravenswood was laid out in the late 1860s as one of Chicago’s first planned commuter suburbs, built along the railroad that the Metra line still follows. Its tree-lined streets kept many large Victorian frame houses, mixed with two-flats and later brick buildings.

Ravenswood Avenue, running beside the tracks, was an industrial corridor; many of its old factory buildings now hold lofts, breweries and workshops.

Big old houses bring big-house HVAC: multiple heating zones, boilers replaced only once or twice since they were installed, separate furnaces for upper floors, and third floors that are hard to keep comfortable in any season.
