English-style brick homes near the forest preserves

What Sauganash Homes Tend to Need

Sauganash, named after Billy Caldwell, known as Sauganash, is a quiet neighborhood of curving streets next to the Cook County forest preserves. It’s best known for its English Tudor-style brick homes, built mostly from the 1920s through the 1950s.

Houses here are larger than the typical Chicago bungalow, often with two full stories, a finished basement and sometimes an addition. Many have forced-air heat with central air; some still have hot-water radiators.

Larger homes with steep roofs and multiple levels often need more than one zone, and upper bedrooms under the slope of a Tudor roof can be hard to keep comfortable.

Common Problems in Sauganash Homes

What comes up in Sauganash’s larger homes.

Ask a pro
01

Upstairs bedrooms under the roof

Rooms under a steep roof slope gain heat in summer and lose it in winter. A separate upstairs system or ductless units are common solutions.

↗
02

One system for a big house

A single furnace and AC for two full floors and a basement rarely keeps all three comfortable. Zoning or a second system often helps.

↗
03

Dry air all winter

Long heating seasons dry out indoor air. A whole-house humidifier on the furnace can make the house feel warmer at a lower setting.

Zoning a Larger Sauganash Home

If one floor is always uncomfortable, ask about zoning with dampers or a second system. Zoning works best when the ducts are accessible and the furnace can vary its output.

For homes with radiators, consider keeping the boiler for heat and adding cooling only, which is often simpler than converting the whole house.

In larger, multi-level homes, often yes. Zoning sends heat and cooling where it’s needed, so you aren’t overcooling the basement to cool the bedrooms.

In winter, yes. Indoor humidity often drops very low, which makes the air feel colder and dries skin and wood. A furnace humidifier keeps it in a comfortable range.
