Sizing comfort systems across a century of base growth
Naval Station Great Lakes, dedicated in 1911 after construction began in 1904, anchors North Chicago, and workforce housing built up around it over the following century spans several distinct construction eras. That range means duct layout, insulation levels, and equipment age vary more from block to block than in a town built in a single wave.
Matching equipment to a base-era home's real load
A home built to serve an earlier generation of Naval Station Great Lakes personnel may have ductwork and insulation that don't match its current equipment, leading to comfort and efficiency issues a straight equipment swap won't fix. An HVAC assessment should start with the home's approximate era before sizing any replacement system.
