Heating and Cooling Repair for Cleveland Heights Homes

Most of Cleveland Heights went up between the 1890s and the 1930s. Census estimates date about 59 percent of its housing to before 1940 and about 22 percent to the 1940s and 1950s, with many of the postwar houses in the northern neighborhoods around Monticello Boulevard. Brick and stucco colonials and four squares are common, with two family doubles on some streets. Basements hold steam boilers, converted gravity furnaces and the occasional original octopus. Undersized electrical service and knob and tube wiring turn up often enough that we check before quoting cooling.

Cleveland Heights sits atop the Portage Escarpment. Cedar Road climbs through Cedar Glen from University Circle and Mayfield Road climbs from Little Italy to reach the city's western edge, so homes near that edge can have sloped driveways and yards. That affects condensate drainage, condenser pads and how snow slides off steep slate roofs onto outdoor units. We set pads level on compacted base and keep equipment clear of roof lines.
