Peerless Steam Boiler Installation in Chicago
Chicago's older residential and commercial building stock relies heavily on steam heat. Two-pipe and one-pipe steam systems are common in the city's greystones, two-flats, and vintage apartment buildings. D's Air & Heating, Inc. specializes in Peerless steam boiler installation and replacement throughout Chicago.
The Peerless 64 Series is a cast-iron steam boiler designed for residential and light commercial applications. The 211A Series handles large commercial steam loads — apartment buildings, schools, churches, and industrial facilities. Both series are available in gas-fired configurations.
Steam system installation requires specialized knowledge of steam pressure, venting, piping pitch, and near-boiler piping configuration. D's Air & Heating, Inc. technicians are trained in steam system installation and understand the specific requirements of Chicago's older building stock.
D's Air & Heating, Inc. handles every aspect of the steam boiler installation — permit, removal, installation, near-boiler piping, venting, controls, startup, and city inspection. We do not subcontract. Call (773) 940-0965 for a free in-home estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions — Peerless Steam Boiler Installation
What Peerless steam boiler models does D's Air & Heating install?
D's Air & Heating, Inc. installs the Peerless 64 Series for residential and light commercial steam applications, and the Peerless 211A Series for large commercial steam applications including apartment buildings, schools, and industrial facilities.
How is a steam boiler sized differently from a hot water boiler?
Steam boilers are sized based on connected radiation load (EDR — equivalent direct radiation), not square footage. D's Air & Heating, Inc. performs a proper EDR survey of your existing radiators to ensure the new boiler is correctly sized. An oversized steam boiler causes water hammer, wet steam, and wasted fuel.
Can you fix water hammer when replacing my steam boiler?
Yes. Water hammer in steam systems is often caused by incorrect near-boiler piping, improper pitch, or clogged steam traps. D's Air & Heating, Inc. inspects the entire steam system during the estimate and addresses near-boiler piping issues as part of the installation.
Is a permit required for steam boiler installation in Chicago?
Yes. The City of Chicago requires a mechanical permit for boiler installation. D's Air & Heating, Inc. pulls all required permits and coordinates the city inspection. IL License #2183457.
