Washington housing and HVAC
Rowhouses in Capitol Hill and Columbia Heights often use boilers with radiators and mini-splits or window units for cooling. Newer condos use heat pumps or building systems. D.C. rowhouses typically have narrow floor plans, plaster walls and limited closet space, which makes adding full ductwork difficult. Many owners combine an existing boiler for heat with ductless mini-splits for cooling, or use small-duct high-velocity systems. Condo and apartment owners usually need board approval before changing equipment.
Hot, humid summers and cold winters with occasional snow.
Permits and seasonal timing in Washington
The DC Department of Buildings issues mechanical permits across the District, and the Historic Preservation Office may review visible equipment in historic districts. Schedule AC service in spring before humid summers and boiler or furnace service in fall.
