Heating and air conditioning service built around College Park
Whether the complaint is weak airflow upstairs, a furnace that will not stay lit, or an outdoor unit that hums but never starts, the process is the same — a proper diagnostic, a written price, then the repair.
Homes in Prince George's County tend to be a mix of older builds with original ductwork and newer infill construction, which means airflow problems show up very differently from one street to the next.
The busiest week of our year in College Park is the first stretch of sustained may weather. Systems that idled all season fail in clusters.

College Park20742 HVAC questions, answered
Do you handle ductless mini-split systems?
Yes. Ductless installations have grown quickly in Maryland, particularly in older homes without existing ductwork. We service indoor heads, clean filters and drain lines, check line-set insulation and diagnose communication faults between heads and the outdoor unit.
Is my carbon monoxide risk something I should worry about?
With any combustion appliance, yes. A cracked heat exchanger can spill carbon monoxide into the living space, and it is odourless. We perform combustion analysis and a CO test on every furnace and boiler call in College Park, and we recommend a working CO alarm on every level of the home regardless of who services your equipment.
Do you service commercial and light commercial properties?
Yes. Around College Park we handle rooftop packaged units, split systems, VRF/VRV installations and building automation faults for offices, retail, restaurants and multi-tenant buildings, including after-hours scheduling so you are not disrupting trade.
Why is my furnace short cycling?
Short cycling in College Park most often comes from a restricted airflow path — a loaded filter, a closed register, an undersized return — or from an oversized unit. It can also be a failing flame sensor or a pressure switch fault. We measure static pressure and temperature rise before concluding anything, because guessing at this one is expensive.
Is my system low on refrigerant, or is it leaking?
Refrigerant does not get "used up" the way fuel does. If your charge is low, there is a leak somewhere — usually at a flare connection, a schrader core or the evaporator coil. We locate and repair the leak rather than simply topping up the charge, because a top-up alone will fail again.
Are your technicians licensed and insured?
Every technician dispatched into College Park is licensed, insured and background-checked. We can provide proof of insurance on request before the visit if you would like it on file.
