Furnace Repair in Deanwood, DC

A furnace in Deanwood that clicks, hums and never warms the house usually has one tired part holding everything up. Finding that part quickly is the job, and we do it before we quote anything. That includes homes near Watts Branch.

How we get to you

Deanwood is a short drive up Minnesota Avenue from our Parkside base. ZIP codes: 20019.

Deanwood furnaces often live in partial basements or crawl-space utility rooms under wood frame houses. We bring work lights and plan for tight, low access on every visit.

When to call about furnace repair

• Water pooling around the base of the furnace
• The thermostat is set right but nothing happens
• Heat comes on for a minute and then quits
• You hear clicking at the furnace but no flame
• Air from the vents feels room temperature

What our visit looks like

Safety is the first look: venting, gas connections and a carbon monoxide reading. After that we test each stage of the startup sequence so the repair matches the failure, not a guess.

If your Deanwood furnace is older than the house's last renovation, check for a standing pilot. If you ever smell gas, leave first, then call Washington Gas.

Living with heat and air in Deanwood

Deanwood calls are often about aging furnaces, ductwork that was added on over the years and AC systems that struggle to cool upstairs bedrooms in older frame houses.

Deanwood frame houses often have the furnace in a crawl-space room with a dirt or concrete floor. Moisture there can rust the cabinet and burners, so we inspect for corrosion on every visit.
