Any Season Heating & Cooling Inc. completed an HVAC replacement in Skokie, IL 60077 this week, replacing an aging, rusted system that was leaking water. The project included a new 2-ton outdoor condenser and indoor air handler with electric heating elements.
The outdoor condenser was located on the roof with limited access, while the indoor equipment occupied a compact utility closet. This job required planning around both locations and the building management’s liability insurance requirement.

Why the existing HVAC system was replaced
The old equipment showed significant corrosion, and the system had a water-leak problem. The before photographs document the deteriorated outdoor condenser and the original indoor air handler. After reviewing the existing equipment, the project moved forward with replacement of both the outdoor and indoor units.
Rust and water around HVAC equipment deserve attention, but a photograph alone does not identify the source of a leak. Water near an air handler can have several causes, so homeowners should arrange an inspection rather than assume that every leak requires a complete system replacement.
Replacing the rooftop condenser with limited access
For the outdoor portion of this HVAC replacement in Skokie, our team replaced the old condenser with a new 2-ton Trane condenser. Because the unit was on the roof and access was limited, getting equipment to and from the work area was an important part of the project.
Rooftop access can affect scheduling and installation logistics. For homeowners in managed buildings, arranging access with building management before work begins helps the contractor plan the replacement around the property’s requirements.
New indoor air handler with electric heat
Inside the property, we replaced the old air handler with new equipment incorporating electric heating elements. The air handler circulates conditioned air through the ductwork, and the electric heat elements provide heating when called for by the system controls.
Replacing both indoor and outdoor equipment made this a complete system replacement project. For a similar job, the proposed equipment and installation scope should account for the existing ductwork, available electrical supply and the space available for service access.

Coordinating with building management
Building management required liability insurance for the job. That requirement formed part of the project planning, along with the restricted roof access and the indoor equipment location.
If your building has contractor insurance or access requirements, share them when requesting an estimate. Reviewing those requirements early helps establish what must be arranged before installation day.
Completed installation and equipment testing
The replacement was completed, and the new HVAC equipment was tested following installation. The before-and-after photographs show the change from the old corroded condenser and original air handler to the replacement equipment.
The outdoor comparison highlights the new Trane condenser. The indoor comparison shows the new air handler in the existing utility closet. These are photographs from this Skokie project, supplied by our team.
