Heating and cooling in Uptown
Uptown is a lakefront community on the North Side. 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 Uptown 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 Uptown homeowners
- 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.
- Keep the area around the boiler clear and test the carbon monoxide alarms near bedrooms.
