Understanding hvac
Understanding hvac in Chicago
A deeper look at how Chicago conditions shape the hvac work owners actually need.
Chicago HVAC work requires a technician who understands both the extreme cold performance requirements of Chicago winters and the specific systems that dominate the city's older building stock. Steam boilers are the defining system of the pre 1950 Chicago residential building. A one pipe steam system in a Lincoln Square courtyard building or a two pipe system in a Bronzeville three flat operates on a completely different logic than a forced air furnace, and a technician who is not trained on steam will misdiagnose problems and perform incorrect repairs.
Steam boiler service in Chicago typically involves annual burner tune up, combustion analysis, pressure relief valve test, water gauge inspection, and venting check. On one pipe systems, radiator air vent calibration is critical: improperly matched vents cause uneven heat distribution, overheating in some rooms and underheating in others, and excessive cycling that wastes fuel. Many Chicago landlords accept this as the nature of old buildings when the real cause is a set of vents that were never matched to the radiator size and piping distance.
Furnace failure in Chicago is a life safety event when temperatures are at negative ten degrees Fahrenheit or below. A cracked heat exchanger, a failed igniter, or a seized inducer motor can shut down a furnace that is the only heat source for a family or for a multi unit building.
Bridgepoint operates live 24/7 dispatch for HVAC emergencies and prioritizes no heat calls during the heating season.
Cooling installation in Chicago's older bungalow and two flat stock presents a specific challenge: many of those buildings have no duct system because they were heated by boilers. Adding central air to a boiler heated building requires either extensive duct installation, which is invasive and expensive, or a ductless mini split system, which can be installed without opening ceilings and walls. Mini splits have become the standard solution for cooling in Chicago's unducted older residential buildings.
Indoor air quality is an emerging category in Chicago, driven by tenant awareness and by the discovery of legacy materials in older buildings. Whole house humidifiers are a common add on in forced air systems because Chicago winters produce very dry indoor air at low outdoor temperatures. Duct cleaning is recommended after HVAC system replacements and during unit turnovers in buildings where the ductwork has not been serviced in several years.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
Can you service a one pipe steam boiler in a Chicago courtyard building?+
Yes. Steam boiler service is a significant part of our Chicago HVAC work. Our technicians are trained on one pipe and two pipe steam systems including radiator air vent calibration, pressure settings, and burner tune up.
How do I add air conditioning to a Chicago bungalow that has steam heat and no ductwork?+
Ductless mini split systems are the standard solution. We assess the building layout, size the equipment, and install without opening ceilings or walls. City of Chicago permits are pulled for the electrical work.
How often should I service the boiler in my Chicago two flat?+
Once per year, in September or October before the heating season. Chicago boilers run for six or more months continuously and accumulate more wear than systems in warmer climates. Annual service catches problems early.
What happens if my furnace fails in January?+
Call 1-855-910-9090. We operate live 24/7 dispatch and prioritize no heat calls during the heating season. We carry common igniter and control board replacements on the truck for same day repair in many cases.
Are your HVAC technicians EPA 608 certified?+
Yes. All technicians handling refrigerant are EPA 608 certified. City of Chicago mechanical permits are pulled for equipment replacements where required by the Department of Buildings.
Do you install whole house humidifiers?+
Yes. We install bypass and powered humidifiers on forced air systems. Humidifiers are particularly useful in Chicago where winter outdoor temperatures produce very dry indoor air in forced air heated homes.
