Heating in Alexandria: what's different
Heating work in Alexandria follows the local climate. Furnaces in mixed climates run for several months, and ice storms or cold snaps put sudden load on them. Annual safety checks on burners, venting and heat exchangers are worthwhile.
Old Town townhouses often have limited space for ducts and outdoor units, and many use ductless heat pumps or small-duct systems. Del Ray bungalows typically have gas furnaces or heat pumps with central AC, and newer condos use heat pumps.
The heating services Alexandria homeowners ask for most are furnace Repair. No heat, ignition failure, short cycling and pilot or flame sensor problems.
The City of Alexandria Department of Code Administration issues mechanical permits, and Old Town's Board of Architectural Review may need to approve visible equipment. Virginia licenses HVAC contractors through DPOR.

Can I install a heat pump in an Old Town townhouse?+

What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?+
Get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line. Do not go back in until responders say it is safe, then have the heating system inspected.

A dirty flame sensor, a blocked vent or intake, a clogged filter or an overheating heat exchanger are common causes. The control board's blink code helps a tech narrow it down.
