Jacobs Boiler & Mechanical Industries, a family-owned commercial/industrial heating contractor business now in its fourth generation, is committed to servicing Chicago area business and building owners. We also service and install gas-fired burners including Gordon-Piatt, Iron-Fireman, Powerflame and Webster. We service and install heating controls systems such as R & D, Heat-Timer, Fireye, and Honeywell, as well as repair and install tanks, low pressure gas, steam and hydronic piping. Jacobs Boiler stocks Hurst and L.E.S. steel boilers for immediate installation.
Jacobs Boiler's history dates back to the early 1920s when our grandfather, Andrew Jacobs, worked on locomotive boilers for the railroad in Topeka, Kansas. He moved his growing family to Chicago to start his own business and in 1922 Jacobs Welding and Boiler Works began servicing the Chicago area. His sons, George, Clarence, Tom and Jim, took over and expanded the business to become Jacobs Boiler & Mechanical Industries, Inc. In 1985, Jacobs Boiler moved from the Lakeview neighborhood into our current larger facility on West Diversey Ave.
After more than 90 years in business, Jacobs Boiler is a cornerstone in the Chicago heating industry. Now in our fourth generation, we take great pride in servicing Chicago's business and building owners. We provide emergency service 24/7, 365 days a year. Jacobs Boiler carries the A.S.M.E. Let Jacobs Boiler clean your boiler and water heater before sediment can settle and harden in your firebox or tank over the summer! Many boiler issues can be diagnosed and quoted for immediate service or repair.
