Sitting on the highest ground in Washington, DC, Tenleytown is a quiet Upper Northwest neighborhood of detached, single-family homes — many of them built in the early decades of the 20th century along the leafy streets east and west of Wisconsin Avenue. Houses of that vintage tend to come with their own comfort quirks: heating and cooling systems that have been patched together over the years, ductwork added long after the home was framed, and finished attics or third floors that bake in July while the first floor stays cool. Our licensed, insured technicians work on these older homes every week, and we take the time to diagnose the whole system rather than just swapping a part and moving on.
Because so many Tenleytown homes still run aging furnaces, boilers, or first-generation central air, full-system replacements and modern heat pumps are a big part of what we do here. A high-efficiency heat pump can replace a tired furnace-and-AC pairing, even out those hot upper floors, and trim your Pepco bills — and we'll walk you through right-sizing it for a home that was never designed around forced air in the first place. We handle the harder retrofits too, from running line sets through finished walls to placing condensers discreetly in tight side yards.
Tenleytown isn't only single-family houses. The blocks around the Tenleytown-AU Metro and along Wisconsin host apartment buildings, condos, and student housing tied to American University, where ductless mini-splits and packaged systems are common. Whatever you're working with — a 1920s radiator boiler, a rooftop unit, or a brand-new variable-speed system — we offer upfront flat-rate pricing, a satisfaction guarantee, and round-the-clock emergency service when the heat or AC quits at the worst possible time.
