Today we’re working on a Viessmann boiler that provides hot water for a beautiful Chicago home built in 1903.

Historic homes often feature high-quality mechanical systems that require careful diagnosis and maintenance. In this case, we’re troubleshooting the boiler, checking flow rates, protecting the controls from water damage, and working through the system to identify the source of the problem.

When dealing with advanced boiler systems, attention to detail matters. A small leak or flow issue can quickly become a bigger problem if left unaddressed.

If your boiler isn’t producing hot water or isn’t operating properly, call Around the Town Heating & Cooling at 312-243-9896.

Not every air conditioner can be lifted into place with a crane. On this project at 1432 W. Erie in Chicago, we found a compact central air conditioning unit that was small enough to fit through an existing rooftop access opening.

The old condenser had failed, and we carefully selected a replacement that could be maneuvered into place without the added cost and logistics of a crane. We’ve completed several HVAC installations on this building over the years, helping homeowners stay comfortable while working within the unique challenges of city properties.

Chicago’s air conditioning season is arriving early this year, making now a great time to replace aging equipment before the summer heat arrives.

Another rooftop AC installation in Chicago.

This building presented a challenge because the new unit had to fit through an existing rooftop access opening. Fortunately, we found a system that fit perfectly and avoided the need for a crane.

We’ve been servicing and installing HVAC systems in this building for years, and it’s always great to help another homeowner stay cool before summer arrives.

Ed from Around the Town Heating & Cooling was at Marina Tower West in downtown Chicago diagnosing a PTAC unit that stopped working properly.

After troubleshooting the system, we found that the circuit board had failed. At this point, the owner has two options: replace the circuit board or replace the entire unit. We’ll review both options and help determine the best solution based on cost, condition, and long-term reliability.

One thing you can’t beat is the view from Marina City. Not a bad way to spend a Sunday morning in Chicago.

If your PTAC unit isn’t heating or cooling properly, call Around the Town Heating & Cooling at 312-243-9896 for expert diagnosis and repair.

Sunday morning service call at Marina Tower West in downtown Chicago.

This PTAC unit wasn’t responding properly, and after testing we found a failed circuit board. Now it’s up to the owner whether they want to replace the board or upgrade the entire unit.

Either way, we’ll help them make the right decision.

Back in January, we installed a new Bryant central air conditioning system at a property on Wolfram Street in Chicago. Recently, the homeowner called because every time they turned on the air conditioner, the furnace would start running too.

After troubleshooting the issue, we found the problem wasn’t the new AC system at all. It was related to an older thermostat setup that had been reused because the homeowner preferred it. Once we rewired the thermostat correctly, everything started operating as intended.

We’re also dialing in the new Bryant system using R-454B refrigerant and making final charging adjustments to ensure maximum efficiency and performance for the summer ahead.

Sometimes HVAC problems aren’t caused by the equipment itself. That’s why proper diagnostics matter.

Chicago HVAC Tip: If your furnace comes on every time you turn on your air conditioner, don’t assume the AC is broken.

Ed recently tracked down this exact issue on a Bryant system we installed earlier this year. The culprit was an older thermostat setup that needed rewiring. Once corrected, the system worked perfectly.

Now we’re fine-tuning the charge on this new R-454B system to get it ready for summer.

Back in January, we installed a new central air conditioning system at this Chicago property. Today, on April 17th, Ed returned to make a final adjustment and ensure everything is operating exactly as it should.

One of the benefits of professional installation is knowing your HVAC contractor will be there after the installation if fine-tuning is needed. Preventive adjustments can help improve performance, efficiency, and long-term reliability.

Not a bad office view either, with downtown Chicago in the background.

Another custom HVAC installation underway. In this project, we’re installing a new Fujitsu Air Stage R32 system and integrating it with an existing Unico high-velocity air conditioning system. Every installation requires careful planning, from line set routing to air handler placement, to ensure reliable performance and a clean finished appearance.

If you have an older home with a Unico or SpacePak system and are considering an upgrade, Around the Town Heating & Cooling can help.
