Respecting Wicker Park's History

Wicker Park is famous for its stunning Victorian mansions and historic landmark districts. These architectural gems, often built in the late 19th century, require a delicate touch when it comes to HVAC. Standard "rip and replace" tactics can damage original plaster, woodwork, and flooring.

We specialize in preservation-minded HVAC. This means finding creative ways to route ductwork through existing chases, using high-velocity systems that require smaller penetrations, and maintaining vintage radiator systems that are integral to a home's character.

Beyond the mansions, we also serve the neighborhood's many vintage walk-up apartments and bustling commercial spaces along Milwaukee Avenue. We understand the urgency of keeping businesses running and tenants comfortable in this dense, vibrant community.

Areas We Serve in Wicker Park

  • • Historic District: Specialized care for landmarked homes.
  • • Milwaukee Ave Corridor: Commercial HVAC for shops and restaurants.
  • • Division Street: Residential and mixed-use building service.

Common Wicker Park HVAC Challenges

  • 1
    Drafty WindowsOriginal windows in historic homes can lead to significant heat loss. We can help size your heating system to compensate.
  • 2
    Lack of DuctworkMany Victorian homes were built without ducts. We install Unico and SpacePak systems to add AC without destroying walls.
  • 3
    Commercial KitchensWe service the complex ventilation and makeup air units required by Wicker Park's many restaurants.
  • 4
    Urban Heat IslandThe density of buildings here can raise local temperatures, putting extra strain on AC units in summer.

Preserving the "Beer Baron" Legacy

In the late 19th century, wealthy brewers built opulent mansions in Wicker Park, earning it the nickname "Beer Baron Row." Today, these homes are some of the most sought-after real estate in Chicago, but they present unique challenges for modern climate control.

We understand that you can't just cut a hole in a 130-year-old hand-carved ceiling to install a vent. Our technicians are trained to think like preservationists, finding routes for mechanicals that are invisible or minimally invasive. We use technologies like high-velocity mini-ducts and ductless mini-splits to bring 21st-century comfort to 19th-century masterpieces.

Why We Love Serving Wicker Park

Wicker Park is a neighborhood that wears its history on its sleeve while constantly reinventing itself. We love the challenge of working in such a dynamic environment. One morning we might be servicing a rooftop unit for a trendy new coffee shop, and the afternoon finds us in the basement of a Victorian mansion, fine-tuning a boiler system that's been heating the home for decades. The variety keeps us sharp, and the appreciation we get from homeowners who care deeply about their properties makes it all worthwhile.
