Air Conditioning in Fairfax: what's different
Air Conditioning work in Fairfax 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.
Most homes have gas furnaces or heat pumps with central AC, often with basements. Many 1950s to 1970s homes have original ductwork, and some still use oil heat. Ramblers and colonials from the 1950s and 1960s often have air handlers in the basement and small attic ducts added later for upstairs cooling.
The air conditioning services Fairfax homeowners ask for most are AC Repair. Warm air, no cooling, short cycling, noises and breaker trips.
The City of Fairfax Community Development and Planning issues permits inside city limits, while Fairfax County handles surrounding areas. Virginia licenses HVAC contractors through DPOR.
