Reston, VA
Air Conditioning in Reston: what's different
Air Conditioning work in Reston 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 Reston pattern: leaf debris. Wooded lots drop leaves and seeds that clog outdoor coils.
The air conditioning services Reston homeowners ask for most are AC Repair, coil Cleaning. Warm air, no cooling, short cycling, noises and breaker trips.
Fairfax County Land Development Services issues mechanical permits because Reston is unincorporated, and the Reston Association and cluster associations may review exterior equipment changes.
