About Hometown Maintenance

Based in Mechanicsville, VA, Hometown Maintenance takes on heating and cooling work. By its own account, the firm goes back 20 years. It works as a sole operator.

Fireplace repair is on the listing. Common problems include a gas fireplace that will not light, a pilot that keeps going out, damaged firebrick, a stuck damper and smoke coming back into the room. It is cross-listed for handyman and pressure washing.

Heating and cooling equipment usually lasts many years, but repair costs tend to rise as it ages. The age on the unit label is one of the first things a technician will want to know.

Handyman services are on the listing. Some jobs, such as new wiring, gas work or major plumbing, usually call for a specialist trade, so it is worth asking where a handyman draws the line in your area.

It has not posted hours. If you are outside Mechanicsville, in Manquin, Richmond and Ashland for example, say where the job is and ask if it is in range.

To get a useful answer from Hometown Maintenance, send photos of the labels on the indoor and outdoor units showing the brand, model and manufacture date. Check the filter and the thermostat batteries first, since either can stop a system from working.
