HVAC Repair and AC Service in Lincoln Square, Chicago
Around the Town HVAC has served Lincoln Square since 2004 — long enough to know that no two blocks here have the same heating and cooling setup. A Bowmanville bungalow, a greystone two-flat off Leland, and a new condo above the Lawrence Avenue shops all fail differently, and our technicians have worked on all of them. We carry most parts on the truck, so the majority of repairs are finished in one same-day visit.

Heating and Furnace Repair in Lincoln Square
Lincoln Square’s housing runs from 1910s frame houses to brand-new construction, which means we see everything: cracked heat exchangers in original bungalow furnaces, short-cycling high-efficiency units crammed into converted-attic closets, and flue problems in two-flats where a water heater and furnace share a chimney that was never relined. We repair gas and electric furnaces of every brand, handle emergency no-heat calls around the clock, and give you a straight answer when a repair no longer makes financial sense.

AC Repair in Lincoln Square
Summer calls here split into two kinds. Homes with existing central air need fast diagnosis — a condenser that won’t start, a system running nonstop, a refrigerant leak that crept up over two seasons. And vintage homes with radiator heat need a way to get real cooling without tearing the house apart. For those, we install SpacePak high-velocity air conditioning, which snakes small flexible ducts through closed walls and closets — central air for a 1920s greystone with the plaster intact. Window units in a Lincoln Square two-flat are a choice, not a requirement.

Lincoln Square Neighborhoods We Serve
We run calls across every corner of the greater Lincoln Square area:
- The Square itself — around Giddings Plaza and the Lincoln Avenue strip, where vintage apartments sit above storefronts. We service the residential systems upstairs and handle commercial HVAC for the businesses below.
- Ravenswood — the blocks along the Metra corridor, heavy on brick two-flats and courtyard buildings, most with boiler heat. Loft conversions in the old industrial buildings bring their own oversized-space heating and cooling puzzles.
- Ravenswood Gardens — the quiet pocket between the river and Rockwell, where well-kept vintage single-families often still run their original radiator systems.
- Bowmanville — north of Foster, a classic Chicago bungalow belt. Tight attics and knee-wall spaces make equipment sizing and airflow matter more than anywhere else we work.
- Budlong Woods — along the river northwest, a mix of post-war brick and newer infill where first-generation high-efficiency furnaces are now aging out.
We also cover the surrounding North Side daily — North Center, Albany Park, Ravenswood Manor, Roscoe Village, Lincoln Park, and Logan Square. If you’re anywhere on the North Side, we’re already working nearby.

Boiler Repair in Lincoln Square
A huge share of Lincoln Square and Ravenswood housing heats with steam or hot-water boilers — two-flats, greystones, and courtyard buildings that have run on radiators for a century. We repair and maintain all of them: Burnham, Weil-McLain, Peerless, and every other brand still bolted to a basement floor around here. Uneven heat between floors, banging pipes, a boiler that fires but won’t circulate — these are daily work for us, not specialty calls. We also handle full boiler replacement and can talk honestly about when converting to forced air does and doesn’t make sense in these buildings.

HVAC Maintenance in Lincoln Square
Vintage equipment doesn’t forgive neglect. A spring AC tune-up and a fall furnace or boiler check catch the cracked igniter, the weak capacitor, and the slow refrigerant leak before they become a failure on the coldest night of January. Maintenance plan members get priority scheduling — which matters most exactly when everyone else’s system fails at once.
