What we run into in Petworth

The calls we see most in Petworth: boilers that will not hold pressure, radiators cold on the top floor, and condo heat pumps whose closet drains back up in summer.

How we handle it

We do not top off refrigerant without finding where it went. If there is a leak, we tell you where it is and what fixing it really costs.

If your Petworth condenser is on the roof, look at the top floor ceiling hatch. A hatch painted shut or blocked by storage adds time to the visit, so clearing a path first helps us finish sooner.

Getting to you

Our base sits on Georgia Avenue in Petworth, so most homes between Grant Circle and the Petworth Metro are only a few minutes away. We cover the 20011 area along Georgia Avenue, Upshur Street, Kansas Avenue and Grant Circle.

Petworth AC is often a rooftop condenser reached through a hatch in the top-floor ceiling, with refrigerant lines run down an old chimney chase. We bring a ladder rated for hatch access and check that the roof drain near the condenser is clear, since pooled water rusts the base pan.

Pricing

You see the price before we start. If the unit is near the end of its life, we show you that math too.
