The houses we work in around Gaithersburg
Housing in Gaithersburg comes from a few different eras, and each one behaves differently once the weather turns. Over near Olde Towne you find ramblers built in the 1960s and 70s. Then the Kentlands and Lakelands homes that went up in the 1990s. Then newer construction over in Crown. A lot of the older houses were built with returns that are too small. The ductwork has already outlasted two systems. So the comfort problem traces back to the design as much as to the equipment. The Kentlands-era homes are well into their second round of systems now, which is right about when things start needing real attention. We know these houses, and we take the time to get them right the first time.
Gaithersburg is really several towns in one for our purposes. Olde Towne behaves like old Rockville. Kentlands and Lakelands are their own thing. The Washingtonian Woods era sits between the two.
In Kentlands and Lakelands the garages come off the alley and the mechanical space is usually tucked behind or above them. It is a tidy way to build and a tight way to service. So part of choosing equipment there is what fits, and what can be carried back out later.
Why the part died in your Gaithersburg home
The parts in your system lean on each other. When one wears out, the next one works harder, and it wears out early too. That is how a small fault turns into a big bill.
Most companies swap the failed part and leave. Then the same part dies again, and you have paid for it twice. We would rather find out what killed it.
So a visit to your Gaithersburg home starts by testing the whole system. You get what we found in writing, in plain words. Then you decide what happens next.
