    Heat pump defrost cycle failures

    Cold Arlington winters stress heat pump defrost systems. A failing defrost board can lead to ice buildup and complete system shutdown.

    Outdated ductwork in older homes

    Many older Arlington homes have undersized or deteriorating ducts that reduce efficiency by 20-30%. Duct sealing or replacement restores proper airflow.

    Tight construction causing air quality problems

    Newer Arlington homes are sealed tightly for efficiency, but this can trap indoor pollutants. An ERV or HRV system provides fresh air without losing energy.
