Ashburn homes, often with two systems.

Most of Ashburn went up in the 1990s and 2000s, and a lot of it went up fast. That means a lot of homes whose original heating and cooling equipment is now 15 to 25 years old, which is past the point where most systems keep running cheaply.

Many Ashburn single-family homes have two systems, one for the main floors and a second for the upstairs, with that second air handler up in the attic. When we quote a replacement, we look at both and tell you honestly whether they should be replaced together or one at a time.

Ashburn is about 20 minutes from our Herndon base by Route 28 and the Greenway or Loudoun County Parkway.

The houses in Ashburn

Ashburn Farm and Ashburn Village date from the late 1980s and 90s. Broadlands, Brambleton and the neighborhoods around One Loudoun and the Silver Line stations are newer. Expect two-story colonials with two systems, plenty of townhouses with a single heat pump, and newer condos near the Ashburn Metro.

What the weather does to systems here

Attic air handlers in Ashburn work in a hot attic all summer, which is hard on their parts and on the condensate drain, a common source of ceiling leaks. Dry winter air is the other big complaint here, and a whole-house humidifier on the furnace fixes it.
