Where you land in a range is mostly access: a closet off the hall on the first floor is the easy end, a top floor with no elevator or a condenser that has to go up by crane is the other.
Most condo systems are built to fit one closet or one wall sleeve, so the new unit has to match that footprint. We measure before we price, so nothing gets ordered that won’t fit.
What’s different in McLean
The McLean condos we work on in 22102, the Tysons side and the roads off Chain Bridge and Old Dominion, share one trait: a First Co closet unit with a hydro-coil. The compressor cools, like a heat pump would, but the heat comes from a hot water coil inside the same cabinet.
That hot water comes from one of two places. Either the building’s boiler pipes it to every unit, or your own water heater feeds the coil. Which one decides the replacement. A building boiler means the association valves off the loop and we reconnect to the same supply and return. A water heater means we’re tied into your hot water line, and its age matters as much as the unit’s.
Only about four in ten owner homes in McLean’s ZIPs are in condo buildings, since detached houses are nearly half of what’s here. That makes condo stock a pocket, not a pattern, and a pocket built across several decades. About 44 percent of owner homes predate 1980, yet 31 percent came after 2000, and the newer Tysons-side buildings tend to be tight, with one closet size that only one cabinet fits.
The coil is the part people don’t expect. A new cabinet has to match the old one’s coil connections and the pipe sizes behind the closet wall, because the plumbing was sized for that unit. We check the connections and pipe sizes before we order anything, so the new cabinet slides in and meets the same piping.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for the owner-occupied homes in each place, and the kind of condo system we usually find in buildings that age.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | What condo system you’ll usually find |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| McLean | 1977 | single-family houses, about 8 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Through-the-wall units or a water loop. |
| Tysons | 1985 | condo and apartment buildings, about 7 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | A First Co or MagicPak in a closet. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
ZIPs 22101 and 22102 as a whole: every McLean address, Tysons included.
The signs
On a McLean hydro-coil unit, no heat in winter while the cooling works is usually a coil that’s scaled up, a stuck zone valve, or a water heater feeding it that’s failed. We check the water side first, since that’s often the real problem.
Older buildings often still run through-the-wall units or a water loop shared with the building. Parts for some of those are getting hard to find, which is when replacing beats chasing them.
A condo system that never shuts off in July, or a bedroom that stays a few degrees off the thermostat, is usually a compressor or coil near the end. Repairs at that age tend to come back.

Choosing who replaces it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes your condo system, us included.
A hydro-coil swap is half HVAC and half plumbing. Ask if the same technicians handle both, or if you’ll be coordinating a second company for the water lines.
A First Co, a MagicPak and a water source heat pump are different jobs at different prices. Anyone who quotes without the model on the label is guessing.
In Virginia, unless your condo documents say otherwise, the equipment that serves only your unit is yours to replace, but changing the outside of the building needs the association. Ask whether they’ll work with the management office on roof access or a wall sleeve.

Elvis Diaz did an excellent job cleaning our condo’s HVAC system. He was very knowledgeable about maintaining the unit and the price was very reasonable.

Questions
Look for a water heater in your unit. If there’s one, the coil is probably on it. If there isn’t, the heat is from the building boiler. Either way, send us a photo of the closet and the cabinet plate.
If it feeds your heat coil and it’s near the end of its life, doing both in one visit saves a second trip and a second drain-down. We’ll tell you its age and condition when we’re there.
$7,900 to $14,000 for a whole system, from our own condo jobs. A First Co runs $7,900 to $12,500, a MagicPak $8,500 to $13,400, a water source heat pump $9,100 to $10,300. Just the fan coil or air handler is $4,500 to $5,100.
Under Virginia law, unless your condo documents say otherwise, the parts that serve only your unit are yours, even a condenser on the roof or your patio. Parts serving more than one unit belong to the association. Check your documents; we’ll work with whoever owns it.
