Virginia
Air Conditioning in Virginia: what's different
Air Conditioning across Virginia depends on the climate (IECC climate zones 4). 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.
In Virginia specifically: humid summers. Proper sizing and duct sealing reduce clamminess and mold.
Virginia licenses contractors through the DPOR Board for Contractors, with HVAC tradesman licenses for technicians. Common systems in Virginia: Heat pumps, Gas furnace + central AC, Boilers, Ductless mini-splits.
Dominion Energy Virginia and Appalachian Power are the main electric utilities, with cooperatives elsewhere. Washington Gas, Columbia Gas and Virginia Natural Gas supply gas in different regions.
