Common problems in Brightwood

Brightwood furnaces tend to be older, so cracked igniters, failing inducer motors and rusted flue pipes come up often, along with condensers clogged by tree debris.

Brightwood streets and layouts

Brightwood blocks along Missouri Avenue, Kennedy Street and the side streets toward Fort Stevens are wider and greener than the rowhouse core further south, with more side yards and detached garages.

How the seasons hit Brightwood

Mature oaks and maples drop leaves and seed pods into Brightwood condensers every fall, and spring pollen packs the coils, so the first hot week of the year brings a wave of weak-cooling calls.

Brightwood's mix of houses

Brightwood runs from Georgia Avenue past Missouri Avenue toward Military Road, with semi-detached homes, small detached houses and some rowhouses along the way. Many of these homes were built in the 1920s to 1940s, and their heating systems range from original boilers to newer gas furnaces and heat pumps.

Trees, yards and outdoor units

Brightwood lots tend to have more trees and side yards than the rowhouse blocks to the south. That is good for shade but hard on outdoor units, which fill with leaves and seed pods. We clean coils and check airflow on every cooling visit here, since a dirty coil is the most common reason for weak AC.
