Boiler Repair & Installation
Radiators that stay cold, a boiler that short cycles, or a system that clanks and loses pressure all point to a fault we can trace. We repair and replace steam and hot water boilers, check pressure, controls, and pumps, and install high-efficiency boilers when repair no longer makes sense.
In a Victorian-era building like those in the Sheffield Historic District, a boiler replacement means working with the pipes and radiators already in the walls. We size the new boiler to the radiators you have and explain the plan before the old one comes out.
Furnace Repair, Installation & Replacement
If your furnace won’t ignite, blows cool air, or shuts off before the house warms up, a technician checks the ignitor, flame sensor, blower, and safety controls. We repair what can be repaired, handle heater installation when the old unit is done, and quote a replacement in writing when the numbers favor one.
A furnace tucked into a Lincoln Park coach house or a basement utility closet leaves little room to work. We measure clearances, venting, and the path for the new unit before we order equipment, so the installation day goes the way we described it.
AC Repair & Ductless Cooling
An AC that runs without cooling, freezes up, or trips the breaker needs a diagnosis, not a guess. We repair central air, and we install ductless mini splits for homes that were built with radiators and never had ducts.
For a rowhouse on the 2100 block of North Bissell Street or a condo near DePaul, cutting new ducts into finished plaster is rarely the answer. A ductless system cools room by room and reaches floors that central air can’t.
Heat Pump Repair & Installation
A heat pump that blows lukewarm air, ices over, or stops switching between heating and cooling needs a technician who knows the system. We repair and install heat pumps, including dual-fuel setups that pair one with a boiler or furnace, and we explain what the equipment can and can’t handle in your building before you commit.
For a top-floor unit a few blocks from Oz Park that shares a building boiler, a heat pump can heat and cool just that unit without touching the shared system.
Furnace & Boiler Maintenance Plans
Our maintenance plans put a technician in your home every spring and fall, with discounts and priority scheduling included. The fall furnace maintenance visit, or the boiler check if that’s your heat source, catches worn parts and safety problems before the first cold night, and the spring visit prepares the cooling side.
Finding a worn part in October is easier than finding it in a January cold snap. Book the visit before the Conservatory crowds and holiday plans fill your calendar, and the heat stays on when the weather turns.

Lincoln Park HVAC questions answered
Should I repair or replace the boiler in my Lincoln Park rowhouse?
It depends on age, condition, and repair history. A boiler with a cracked section or repeated leaks usually costs more to keep patching than to replace. One with a failed pump, valve, or control is usually a straightforward repair. We inspect the boiler and radiators, then give you both options with costs so you can decide.
Can I keep my radiators and still get central air in a Lincoln Park building?
Yes. Radiators and cooling are separate systems. If the building has no ducts, a ductless mini split system adds cooling without touching the radiators, and a high-efficiency boiler can replace the old heat source while the radiators stay in place.
When should I schedule heating maintenance before winter in Lincoln Park?
Book it now, before the first sustained cold. The fall visit tests safety controls, burners, and airflow, and it leaves time to order parts if something is worn. Waiting until the first cold night means competing with every other homeowner who has the same idea.
What can I do if the heat goes out in my Lincoln Park condo or two-flat?
First check the thermostat, power, and any shutoff switches on the boiler or furnace. Then call us at 847-861-5559. We offer 24/7 emergency heating repair, and a technician will find the fault and explain the fix before work begins. In a condo or multi-unit building, tell us whether the system serves one unit or shares equipment with others.
