What we run into in Columbia Heights

Columbia Heights condo owners call us most for closet air handlers that leak, heat pumps stuck on emergency heat, and systems that are hard to reach in shared buildings.

How we handle it

Where a common wire is missing, we add one properly instead of using shortcuts that cause problems later.

When upgrading a thermostat in a Columbia Heights condo, a photo of the old wiring helps. Heat pump systems often use an extra wire for auxiliary heat that has to land in the right place.

Systems we find in Columbia Heights

Condo units here commonly run a split heat pump with the air handler in a hallway closet or above a dropped ceiling. Whole rowhouses often have a basement furnace plus a separate system for the top unit.

Smart thermostats in Columbia Heights condos must be set for heat pump with auxiliary heat, or the electric strips run far too often. We set the auxiliary heat lockout and confirm the thermostat knows the system type, which takes a few minutes and saves real money.

Pricing

Thermostat installs and repairs are priced upfront.
