Gas Heating That Keeps Up With Arlington's Demanding Climate
Installation, Maintenance, and Repair for Efficient Home Heating
Arlington residents choose gas heating systems because they deliver consistent warmth during winter months while keeping fuel costs lower than electric alternatives. Thomas J. Fannon & Sons provides complete gas heating services, from new system installation to seasonal maintenance and emergency repairs. Whether you're converting from oil or upgrading an older gas furnace, the process begins with assessing your home's square footage, insulation quality, and existing ductwork to size the system correctly.
Natural gas heating systems operate quietly, heat up quickly, and maintain even temperatures across multi-story homes and condos. Installation includes connecting to your gas line, integrating with your thermostat, and configuring zoning controls if your layout requires it. Unlike older forced-air systems that cycle on and off, modern gas furnaces use variable-speed blowers and modulating burners to reduce energy waste and eliminate cold spots.
Why Gas Heating Makes Sense in the D.C. Metro Area
Gas heating systems are particularly well-suited to Arlington's urban density and access to natural gas infrastructure. Homes near Clarendon, Ballston, and Rosslyn benefit from reliable gas supply and lower per-therm costs compared to electric resistance heating. Gas furnaces also perform well in freezing temperatures without the efficiency drop seen in standard heat pumps, making them a dependable choice for cold snaps that occasionally hit the region.
Regular maintenance extends system life and prevents mid-winter breakdowns. Annual tune-ups include inspecting the heat exchanger for cracks, testing ignition components, cleaning burners, and verifying proper venting to prevent carbon monoxide buildup. Repairs are handled promptly, with most service calls completed within hours to restore heat and safety.
