Arlington housing and HVAC
Older brick homes often have gas furnaces or boilers in the basement with central AC added later, and some still run oil. Apartment buildings use heat pumps, fan coils or central plants. New infill homes are usually built with high-efficiency heat pumps or dual-fuel systems.
Arlington has hot, humid summers with highs near 90°F and cold winters with occasional snow and ice. Thunderstorms can cause power outages and surges.
Permits and seasonal timing in Arlington
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.
Older brick homes
Retrofitted ductwork in 1930s to 1950s homes is often undersized, leaving upper floors warm in summer.
Condo heat pumps
Heat pumps in apartments and condos need regular filter changes and drain cleaning to prevent leaks into neighboring units.
Humidity
Humid summers make correct sizing and dehumidification important for comfort and mold prevention.
