Call (866) 561-3358

We’ve been driving to Arlington since the mid-1980s, back when Route 50 was the main artery and Crystal City was still mostly parking lots. Today we service furnaces from the brick colonials of North Arlington to the high-rise condos along the Rosslyn-Ballston corridor. We know the difference between a 1955 Cape Cod with a coal-closet retrofit and a 2015 fan-coil unit in a Ballston tower, and we stock parts for both. Arlington’s housing demands two completely different skill sets, and our technicians are trained for the full range.

Why Fireside Heating & Air Co. Is Arlington’s Preferred Heating & Furnace Company

Homeowners in Arlington call us because we’ve been showing up for over 8 years, and we still answer the phone ourselves. No voicemail trees. No call centers in another state. When you dial (866) 561-3358, you reach a live person who can dispatch a technician to your door in Arlington, whether you’re off Columbia Pike or up near Lee Highway.

Our reputation here is built on jobs done right the first time, backed by our 90-Day Done Right Promise. If it’s not right, we make it right. In writing. No paperwork, no arguing. That’s the Keystone Standard we’ve applied since 1984.

Our technicians are background-checked, uniformed journeymen who put on shoe covers without being asked. They treat your home the way they’d treat their own mother’s. Most repairs are completed in a single visit because we arrive with the right parts, including components for Rheem, York, Daikin, and Bryant systems commonly found in Arlington homes.

We also understand Arlington’s permit landscape. In the condo towers along Rosslyn and Ballston, our crew pulls Arlington County permits and obtains written clearance from building engineering before touching shared mechanical rooms or risers. Skip that step and you risk HOA lockouts and voided warranties. We don’t skip steps.

Our Heating & Furnace Services in Arlington

Furnace Repair

Arlington’s climate punishes furnaces hard. Summer dew points regularly exceed 70°F, and systems that were undersized when retrofitted into older homes strain through shoulder seasons. Then winter ice and snow arrive, and heat pumps that lack sufficient auxiliary heat capacity fail when you need them most. We repair gas furnaces, heat pumps, and hybrid systems across all nine major brands. Our $50 off any repair over $250 applies to Arlington homeowners, and we quote upfront before touching a wrench.

Furnace Replacement

When repair costs approach half the value of a new system, we give you straight talk about repair versus replace. No pressure. In the 22204 and 22205 neighborhoods, many 1950s brick ranchers were retrofitted with gas furnaces in cramped closets originally designed for coal chutes, forcing our crew to custom-fabricate duct transitions and navigate zero-clearance situations that don’t exist in newer construction. We recently replaced a 30-year-old Trane furnace in a 1950s Cape Cod on North Harrison Street near Yorktown High School. The old unit’s heat exchanger had cracked from decades of cycling in an undersized attic retrofit. We installed a new 96% AFUE Carrier gas furnace with a two-stage valve, matching the existing ductwork that was shoehorned into a converted linen closet, a job that required two extra hours of sheet metal work unique to Arlington’s post-WWII homes.

Furnace Tune-Up

Our $89 seasonal tune-up catches problems before they become 2 a.m. emergencies. In Arlington, we pay special attention to condensate drainage, because high-efficiency furnaces installed in uninsulated crawlspaces, common in South Arlington’s 22204 ramblers, suffer frozen condensate lines during cold snaps. We also inspect flue pipes in homes originally built with oil-fired gravity furnaces, later converted to gas, where deteriorated venting can leak carbon monoxide. A tune-up takes about an hour. We’ll be there when we say.

Heat Exchanger Inspection & Replacement

Cracked heat exchangers are a safety issue, not a sales tactic. In Arlington’s brick colonials of 22207 and 22205, original systems were routinely undersized, leading to excessive cycling that fatigues metal. Carbon monoxide leaks from deteriorated flue pipes in converted oil-to-gas systems compound the danger. We use combustion analyzers and visual inspection protocols to verify heat exchanger integrity. If replacement is needed, we explain exactly why and show you the evidence. No fine print. No scare tactics.

Trusted Brands We Service in Arlington

Our technicians are trained to service all nine major residential brands: Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem, York, Daikin, Bryant, and American Standard. We stock common parts for Rheem, York, and Bryant systems, which represent a significant share of Arlington’s installed base, particularly in the garden apartments and mid-rises built between 1960 and 1990. For high-rise condo systems along the Metro corridors, we maintain relationships with parts distributors who specialize in fan-coil and hydronic components. Fast turnaround matters when heat fails in January, and we don’t leave you waiting because a part has to ship from out of state.

Common Heating & Furnace Problems We See in Arlington Homes

• Cracked heat exchangers in aging gas furnaces. The brick colonials of 22207 and 22205 often contain furnaces older than 20 years, originally undersized for the square footage. Decades of short-cycling fatigue the metal. We inspect with combustion analyzers and replace only when truly necessary.
• Carbon monoxide from deteriorated flue pipes. Homes originally built with oil-fired gravity furnaces, later converted to gas, frequently retain venting inadequate for modern condensing equipment. This is especially common in the Cape Cods and ramblers of North Arlington.
• Frozen condensate lines in high-efficiency units. Cold snaps hit Arlington hard enough to freeze drainage in furnaces installed in uninsulated crawlspaces, a standard feature of 22204’s post-war ramblers. We install proper insulation and drain-line heat tape as part of repair.
• Insufficient auxiliary heat in heat pump systems. Arlington’s winters bring enough sustained cold that heat pumps without adequate backup struggle. Older retrofitted systems in 22204 and 22205 were often spec’d with insufficient electric strip heat, leaving homeowners cold when temperatures drop below 30°F.

Heating and Cooling in Arlington Built on the K.E.Y.S. Code

Fireside Heating & Air Co. was named for the warmest word in the American memory, and that’s what we bring to Arlington homes. Across the Memphis Metro, we see the same story: builder-grade systems put in during the tract-home boom are hitting their stride, and the first real freeze or that July heat wave separates the maintained units from the neglected ones. We give you honest math on repair versus replace, tune-ups that actually prevent the 2 a.m. no-heat call, and a square deal on every bill.
