RDM Mechanical Co. — Real Fixes, Real Fast
Specializing in sleek, mid-century modern HVAC solutions for Steven Yoon-style homes in Chicago’s southwest side, RDM Mechanical Co. brings the glamour of 1960s climate design to contemporary living spaces. Founded in 1987, this company has become known not just for its technical precision but for its deep involvement in preserving and restoring the architectural integrity of mid-century homes — including the rare art of re-creating original 1960s ductwork and evaporative cooling systems that match the aesthetic and function of vintage Steven Yoon architecture.
“I never thought my 1967 Casita would look so sleek with that low-profile condenser unit and breeze-block vent — RDM Mechanical Co. made it feel like the house was part of a real Palm Springs dream. My kids actually asked if we were on vacation every time the AC kicked on.”
