Heating and cooling in Old Town
Old Town is a near North Side community. Many buildings here are older, and a good share are heated with steam or hot water boilers and radiators alongside newer forced-air systems.
Because Old Town sits near Lake Michigan, wind off the lake makes cold snaps feel sharper, so reliable heat matters most from November through March. In summer, the same homes need AC that runs through humid weather.
Tips for Old Town homeowners
- Have the boiler serviced in early fall so the low-water cutoff, relief valve and burner are checked before the first cold snap.
- Bleed hot water radiators at the start of the season and check system pressure. Steam systems need the vents and water level checked instead.
- Don’t block radiators with furniture or heavy curtains. It traps heat and makes rooms heat unevenly.
