HVAC Repair and AC Service in Riverside, IL

Riverside was laid out in 1869 by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, and much of the village still heats the way it was built: with radiators. Around the Town HVAC has served Chicago and the near west and south suburbs since 2004, and we repair the steam and hot water boilers, furnaces and air conditioners in Riverside’s Victorian, Prairie-style and mid-century homes. Most parts are on the truck, so most repairs are finished the same day.

Boiler Repair in Riverside

Many Riverside homes are more than a hundred years old and have their original radiators, fed by a steam or hot water boiler in the basement. The usual calls are radiators that stay cold, banging pipes, a boiler that keeps losing pressure or water, and a pilot or igniter that won’t hold. Steam heat is our specialty. Only a few contractors in the Chicago area repair and replace steam boilers correctly, and we have done it since 2004.

When a boiler is at the end of its life, we size the new one to your radiators and pipe it the right way. Estimates on new installations are free.

Furnace Repair in Riverside

The ranches, split-levels and newer homes in the village run on forced air. We repair every furnace brand, gas or electric, and take no-heat calls around the clock. A fall tune-up finds a weak igniter or a dirty flame sensor before the first cold week does.

Air Conditioning for Homes Without Ducts

A radiator-heated house has no ductwork, and in a landmark village nobody wants soffits cut through original plaster and trim. We install SpacePak and Unico high-velocity systems, which deliver central air through small flexible ducts routed inside existing walls and closets, and ductless mini-splits for single rooms and additions. For homes with central air we repair all brands, same day when possible.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had an excellent experience with this company. My air conditioning stopped working during a heat wave, and Salvatore provided outstanding service. He was professional, courteous, knowledgeable, and determined to get the problem resolved. He went above and beyond by coordinating access through a neighboring condo so he could safely reach my unit, and he kept me informed throughout the process. I truly appreciated Salvatore's patience, expertise, and dedication to making sure everything was working properly before he left. Thanks to his hard work, my air conditioning is running again, and I couldn't be more grateful. I highly recommend this company, and especially Salvatore, to anyone looking for honest, reliable, and exceptional service.

He even explained the situation to me in a way, that even I would understand, what was truly going on. Thank you. Had to update this, we will be working with him from now on for future needs!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ed is one of the most honest, knowledgeable and reliable people you will meet.  I had a boiler go out on one of the coldest days this winter.  Ed came out ASAP to see what he could to get my heat running.  There was a crack in the boiler that could not be repaired as it would not solve the issue permanently.  A person with less integrity would have applied a temporary patch and charged more money to come back out when it failed.  I priced another company (Ed's suggestion).  I already knew I was going with Ed and Sal but I checked just to see the pricing.  Not only did Ed beat the other company but the salesperson made the statement, "a smaller company can install it but if anything goes wrong you'll never get them back out here."  I told him you don't know Ed.  That alone let me know I was right all along.  You will not find anyone as honest and reliable.  Ed always goes goes above and beyond.  Thanks Ed!!!!!
