HVAC Service in South Deering, Chicago

South Deering grew around the Wisconsin Steel works, which closed in 1980, and its residential core sits around Trumbull Park. Much of the community area is industrial land and open space along the Calumet River.

The homes are mostly frame houses and brick bungalows from the early and mid-1900s, built for steelworkers and their families.

Many still have older furnaces or boilers that have been kept running with repairs, and ductwork from early conversions.

Yearly safety checks and timely replacement of aging equipment are the most common needs in housing this age.

The homes around Trumbull Park sit close together on modest lots, while the land around them stays open and industrial. That openness means more wind in winter than in denser parts of the city.
