Both the EG Series 6 and Series 7 are available. D's Air & Heating, Inc. will recommend the right model for your system.
The Weil-McLain EG® Series is one of the most recognized cast-iron gas hot-water boilers in Chicago. Available in Series 6 and Series 7, the EG line has heated Chicago homes for decades — its cast-iron heat exchanger sections are built to last 30–50 years with proper maintenance.
The EG Series uses standard Category I / B-Vent venting, making it compatible with most existing chimney configurations in Chicago bungalows, two-flats, and greystones. This makes it a practical choice for replacement installations where upgrading to PVC condensing venting would require significant additional work.
D's Air & Heating, Inc. installs both EG Series 6 and Series 7 throughout Chicago and the southwest suburbs. We handle all City of Chicago mechanical permits, piping, controls, and startup — and register your Weil-McLain warranty before we leave.

Steam Boiler Expertise — What Chicago Building Owners Should Know
How a Steam Heating System Works
A steam boiler heats water to 212°F, producing steam that rises naturally through supply pipes to cast-iron radiators throughout the building. As the steam gives up its heat, it condenses back to water and returns to the boiler by gravity. One-pipe systems use the same pipe for both steam supply and condensate return. Two-pipe systems use separate supply and return lines, allowing better control and zoning.
The Hartford Loop — Why It Matters
The Hartford Loop is a critical safety piping arrangement on steam boilers. It prevents the boiler from losing its water level if a return pipe develops a leak. Without a properly installed Hartford Loop, a pipe failure can drain the boiler dry, causing catastrophic damage. D's Air installs the Hartford Loop correctly on every steam boiler installation.
Steam Boiler Sizing — EDR Calculations
Steam boilers are sized by Equivalent Direct Radiation (EDR) — the total radiation capacity of all the radiators in the building. The boiler must be sized to match the connected radiation, not the building's heat loss. An oversized steam boiler causes water hammer, wet steam, and rapid cycling. D's Air measures EDR on every steam boiler installation.
Water Quality and Treatment
Steam boiler water quality directly affects system performance and longevity. Impurities cause foaming, which produces wet steam and water hammer. Proper pH balance prevents corrosion of the boiler sections and pipes. D's Air tests water quality and recommends treatment on every steam boiler installation and service call.
Common Steam System Problems
The most frequent steam system issues in Chicago buildings: water hammer (banging pipes — usually caused by wet steam, improper pitch, or failed steam traps), uneven heat between floors (failed vents or traps), boiler cycling on low water (LWCO trips — check water level and return lines), and radiators that won't heat (air-bound — replace the air vent).
What to Expect From Your D's Air Steam Boiler Service

We inspect the boiler, near-boiler piping, Hartford Loop, vents, traps, and radiators before recommending any work.

We explain how to check the water level, what the pressuretrol does, and what maintenance is needed annually.
