Getting around Fort Dupont

Streets wind around the park on steep hills, and many homes sit above street level with long front steps.

Hilly lots around Fort Dupont Park mean some basements stay damp year round. A dehumidifier near the furnace helps protect it from rust.

What our visit looks like

We start at the thermostat and work toward the furnace, checking power, the filter, the igniter, the flame sensor and the safety switches until the real problem shows itself. Then we tell you what it is and what it costs.

Fort Dupont area furnaces in damp basements can rust at the burners. We check and clean them during repairs.
