HVAC Service in Woodlawn, Chicago

Woodlawn sits south of the Midway Plaisance and the University of Chicago, with Jackson Park along its eastern edge, the site of the Obama Presidential Center.

Its housing includes vintage courtyard and corner apartment buildings, greystones and two-flats from the early 1900s, and a growing number of newer townhomes and single-family homes.

Vintage buildings usually run on steam or hot-water boilers, managed by the owner or association, while newer homes have gas furnaces and central air.

With new construction and rehabs underway across the neighborhood, many owners are making first-time decisions about how to heat and cool older buildings.

Investment around Jackson Park and the Obama Presidential Center has brought new homes and rehabs to blocks that had been quiet for years. Many owners are setting up heating and cooling in older buildings for the first time in decades.
