HVAC Services in Kensington
Row-home and mixed-use HVAC service across Kensington's tight blocks.
Emergency HVAC Repairs in Kensington
Kensington covers a huge stretch from Norris Square up through Harrowgate — narrow rows, corner mixed-use buildings, and older warehouse conversions along the El. Many homes still run baseboard or space heaters as primary heat.
Adding first-time central AC to a home that's never had ductwork, replacing wall furnaces with proper forced-air or heat-pump systems, and correcting exhaust venting on old atmospheric water heaters are our top three calls.

Emergency AC Repair
Most AC calls out here trace back to aging gas lines and undersized electrical services or single-pane window infiltration — we diagnose the real fault instead of just topping off refrigerant.

- Faulty capacitors
- Bad compressors
- Thermostat problems
- Electrical failures
- Clogged drain lines
- Fan motor replacement

A yearly tune-up on older row homes and mixed light-industrial conversions keeps efficiency high through single-pane window infiltration, protects the compressor, and heads off summer emergency calls.

- Refrigerant level inspection
- Electrical safety testing
- Airflow testing
- Filter inspection
- Performance optimization

Heating Installation & Replacement
Furnaces and boilers in older row homes and mixed light-industrial conversions past 15 years old cost more to run than to replace. We install sealed-combustion furnaces and 200A-friendly heat pumps sized to a real load calc — not the tag on the old unit — so the new system actually matches the house.

On call across Kensington Avenue and Norris Square and every block in between.
Ductless Mini-Splits in Kensington
For Kensington homes with no ductwork history, a heat pump plus a small ducted air handler in the basement is usually cheaper than a full central-AC-plus-furnace retrofit.
Ductless Mini-Splits vs. Central Air
| Feature | Ductless Mini-Split | Traditional Central Air |
|---|---|---|
| Best For | Homes without ductwork | Homes with existing ductwork |
| Installation | 1–2 Days | 3–5+ Days if ducts are added |
| Efficiency | Up to 30+ SEER2 | Typically 15–18 SEER2 |
| Energy Loss | None through ducts | Up to 30% through leaking ducts |
| Comfort | Individual room control | Whole-house thermostat |
Serving Kensington for Over 25 Years
Since 1994 we've been the crew called when the system finally quits — honest diagnostics on older row homes and mixed light-industrial conversions, straight pricing, and installs sized for how Kensington Avenue and Norris Square actually live in their homes.
Replace your HVAC air filter every 1–2 months. A dirty filter restricts airflow, increases energy bills, and is one of the leading causes of heating and air conditioning breakdowns.
