Arlington, VA
Air Conditioning in Arlington: what's different
Air Conditioning work in Arlington follows the local climate. Mixed climates get real summers and real winters, so the AC has a full season of work and then sits idle. Spring start-up problems such as weak capacitors, low charge and clogged drains are common.
A common Arlington pattern: older brick homes. Retrofitted ductwork in 1930s to 1950s homes is often undersized, leaving upper floors warm in summer. Another: humidity. Humid summers make correct sizing and dehumidification important for comfort and mold prevention.
The air conditioning services Arlington homeowners ask for most are AC Repair. Warm air, no cooling, short cycling, noises and breaker trips.
Arlington County's Department of Community Planning, Housing and Development issues mechanical permits, and Virginia licenses HVAC contractors through the Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation.
