Boilers and furnaces installed in Chicago homes and commercial buildings before 1980 were almost universally wrapped in asbestos-containing insulation. Today, this insulation is often cracked, crumbling, and releasing fibers. Before any boiler replacement, HVAC upgrade, or basement renovation, asbestos boiler insulation must be professionally abated.
