Heating Ravenswood's Historic Homes

Ravenswood is known for its beautiful tree-lined streets, large single-family homes, and distinctive courtyard apartment buildings. This architectural richness brings specific heating and cooling challenges, particularly with the prevalence of steam and hot water boiler systems.

Many of Ravenswood's classic homes still rely on their original radiator heating systems. While these provide excellent comfort when working correctly, they require technicians who understand the nuances of steam traps, expansion tanks, and boiler chemistry - skills that are becoming increasingly rare.

We are proud to be one of the few local companies with deep expertise in hydronic heating. Whether you have a single-pipe steam system in a vintage bungalow or a high-efficiency hot water boiler in a renovated manor, we have the knowledge to keep it running safely and efficiently.

Modern Comfort for Classic Architecture

Ravenswood's charm comes from its preservation of the past. But living in a historic home shouldn't mean sacrificing modern comfort. We help homeowners bridge the gap between 1920s architecture and 2020s efficiency.

Our team is experienced in installing high-efficiency modulating boilers that can reduce heating bills by up to 40% while providing more consistent comfort than old atmospheric units. For cooling, we offer SpacePak and Unico high-velocity systems that can be threaded through existing walls without the need for bulky soffits, preserving your home's original crown moldings and woodwork.
