Homes in University Heights

What University Heights houses ask of a heating and cooling system

University Heights filled in mostly between 1920 and 1950, so the city is side drive colonials, brick bungalows and a good number of two family homes. Lots are small. Many houses still carry a boiler with radiators, and the ones converted to forced air usually got ducts squeezed into closets and stairwell chases rather than proper trunk lines.

Side yards in University Heights are often six or eight feet wide, with the driveway on one side and the neighbor's wall on the other. Condensers need clearance for airflow and service access, and they need to stay off the walkway. We measure first and will put a unit in the rear yard or on a slim profile pad rather than force a bad location.

University Heights heating and cooling questions

If yours is not here, call and ask. We would rather answer it now than have you guess.

Ask us directly

There is barely room beside my house for an AC unit. What now?

This comes up on most University Heights streets. We check the clearance the manufacturer requires, look at the rear yard and the far corner, and consider a slim profile or ductless outdoor unit. If nothing fits safely we say so rather than crowding a condenser against a wall where it will overheat.

I rent out the upstairs of a two family. Can you service both units?

Yes. Two family houses near Warrensville Center Road and Silsby Road often have separate furnaces and separate water heaters in one basement. Call us to set up a visit and tell us how to reach your tenants for access.

How late can I call for a no heat visit in University Heights?

Our regular schedule runs 8:00 AM to 10:00 PM every day, so call as early as you can and we will tell you when a technician can be there. After 10:00 PM the 24/7 emergency line takes over. University Heights is about 12 miles from our Independence office on Rockside Road.
