Reno housing and HVAC
Older homes may have gravity or floor furnaces, boilers, or ductwork in crawl spaces and basements. Newer homes have high-efficiency furnaces venting through PVC, which need condensate drains that can freeze if routed outdoors.
Winter nights regularly fall below freezing, with inversions trapping cold air in the valley. Summers reach the upper 90s and low 100s, and wildfire smoke from California and Nevada fires often affects air quality.
Frozen condensate lines
High-efficiency furnace drains and heat pump defrost water can freeze on cold nights, shutting systems down.
Wildfire smoke
Better filtration (MERV 13 media cabinets) and fresh-air controls help during smoke events.
Older heating systems
Boilers, floor furnaces and aging gas furnaces need combustion and CO checks.
Altitude and furnace setup
At roughly 4,500 feet, gas appliances may need high-altitude adjustment to burn cleanly. A tech should check manifold gas pressure and combustion readings on new installs and after major repairs.
