Price in writing firstYou see every option priced before anything is ordered
What it costs
One price per system, $99. We go through it before a Northern Virginia July finds the weak part for you. Anything it turns up is priced in writing before any work, and if it can wait, we say so.
AC tune-up, one system
$99
Furnace tune-up, one system
$99
Heat pump, boiler or ductless mini split tune-up, one system
$99
Comfort+ membership, a cooling maintenance visit every spring included
$199 a year
A house with two systems books two tune-ups, one for each, and a heat pump or a ductless mini split is the same $99 a system. The heating side, a furnace or a boiler, gets its own tune-up in the fall at the same price.
With Comfort+ membership at $199 a year, the cooling maintenance visit comes every spring, along with a heating maintenance visit, a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection and a dryer vent cleaning.
What’s different in Centreville
Nearly half of Centreville’s owner-occupied homes are townhouses, and about seven in ten went up between 1980 and 1999. In the usual townhouse from those years, one system cools all three floors from the bottom: the indoor coil sits on top of the furnace in the utility room, and the condenser stands on a pad out back.
That coil wrings water out of the air all summer. On an unfinished lower level it usually runs to a floor drain; where the lowest floor became a family room, it more often drains to a small condensate pump beside the furnace. Plenty of these houses have since gone to a high-efficiency furnace, which makes water of its own all winter and often empties into that same pump, so the pump never gets a season off. Every tune-up cleans the drain line, and a pump that’s slow to empty goes in the write-up.
About three in ten homes here are single-family houses, and the bigger ones often cool the bedroom floor with a second system in the attic. Up there the coil drains into a pan right over a bedroom ceiling, usually with a backup pan below it and a float switch that stops the cooling when water backs up. That’s two systems and two tune-ups at $99 each, and the attic one deserves the trip up the ladder: nobody sees its drain until there’s a stain on the ceiling.
Electric heat, in a quarter of Centreville’s owner homes, mostly comes from a heat pump, where one outdoor unit cools in July and heats in January, so a spring visit sees only its cooling half. In the gas homes, close to three in four, the condenser sits idle from October to May, and the first warm week is when an ant colony or a wasp nest that wintered in its electrical box sometimes turns up.

When to book it
With an attic system, that’s often the float switch doing its job: the drain backed up, and the switch cut the cooling before the pan spilled onto the ceiling. A spring tune-up catches a slow drain before it trips.
Townhouse condensers sit side by side behind the units, where leaves and grass clippings pack the coil a little more every season.
A weak capacitor is a small fix on a mild day in April. Found by a July heat wave, it’s a house with no cooling.
Choosing who tunes it up
Questions to ask anybody who books you, us included.
The coil’s water may go to a floor drain, a condensate pump or a line out to the yard. Ask whether the tech checks the far end too. A drain cleared at the coil and clogged at the pump is still clogged.
Ask what gets cleaned and what gets checked, and whether a second system costs extra. A number with no list behind it is hard to hold anybody to.
Ask for the findings in writing, with a price on anything that needs fixing and an honest word on what can wait. A tune-up you never see written down is one you take on faith.
An air conditioner doesn’t use up refrigerant. Low means it’s leaking somewhere, and a company that tops it up every spring is selling you the same refrigerant twice.

SwiftPro (Moises) did an excellent job assessing our HVAC system and explaining its current condition. We will likely work with them again in the future.
Questions
Yes. One outdoor unit on one thermostat is one system, so one tune-up at $99, though it cools every floor. A second outdoor unit with its own thermostat for the top floor makes it two.
A little. The tech wants to run the cooling, and a cold afternoon makes a poor test. April or May works well in Centreville, so anything the visit finds gets fixed on your schedule instead of the heat’s.
$99 per system, the same for a central air conditioner, a heat pump or a ductless mini split. A house with two systems books two. If the tune-up turns up a repair, you get its price in writing before any work, and you decide.
Once a year, in the spring, before the first heat wave. The heating side gets its own visit in the fall. The filter needs attention more often, every one to three months, and it’s the cheapest thing on the list.
Ready when you are
