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 Falls Church
Half of the 7,100 owner-occupied homes in West Falls Church had gone up by 1957, and Lake Barcroft’s halfway mark is 1958. The cooling in those houses tends to be an indoor coil perched on the basement furnace, copper lines punched out through the foundation wall, and a condenser on a pad beside the house, sharing the furnace’s blower and ducts.
All summer that coil wrings water out of the air, and down in a basement the water has two ways out: a floor drain, or a little pump that lifts it up to the laundry sink. Either way it’s part of the drain line every tune-up clears, end to end. The fan we clean is the furnace’s own blower wheel, so July’s dust is still riding on it in January.
Falls Church is one of the two places, with McLean, where boilers are a regular part of our heating work. A radiator house never had ducts for its heat, so central air, where it has any, usually went into the attic: an air handler above the bedrooms, short ducts to ceiling vents, and a drain pan right over the plaster. An attic gets hotter every week from May on, which makes April the kinder month to send a tech up there. Other radiator houses skipped ducts altogether and went ductless.
Nearly half the homes inside the City, and more than six in ten in Bailey’s Crossroads, are in buildings of ten units or more, and more than half of Bailey’s Crossroads owners heat with electricity. The outdoor unit there is usually a heat pump that has been heating since November, so it reaches its first cooling day with a full winter of running behind it. It may stand on a roof, a balcony or a shared pad, and its spring visit is the same $99 a plain air conditioner gets.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for the owner-occupied homes in each place, and what that usually means for the system we’d be tuning up.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | What usually cools it |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Falls Church | 1957 | single-family houses, about 6 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Older houses on their third or fourth air conditioner, usually beside a gas furnace. |
| Bailey’s Crossroads | 1980 | condo and apartment buildings, about 6 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | Condo and apartment buildings: closet air handlers and fan coils, the drain line over a neighbor’s ceiling. |
| Idylwood | 1975 | condo and apartment buildings, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 5 in 10 | Condo and apartment buildings: closet air handlers and fan coils, the drain line over a neighbor’s ceiling. |
| City of Falls Church | 1964 | condo and apartment buildings, about 5 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Condo and apartment buildings: closet air handlers and fan coils, the drain line over a neighbor’s ceiling. |

When to book it
Behind each head’s front panel sits a filter that catches dust all season, and a packed one cuts the airflow to a whisper. Rinse the filters first. If the room still won’t cool, book the tune-up; the head’s coil and fan get cleaned too.
Central air in an older house was usually added later, often with a return too small for it. Checking the filter and the airflow in spring is how you keep the coil from icing up in July.
The unit’s own air handler or fan coil is usually the owner’s to keep up; your association documents say for sure. Its drain line runs over somebody’s ceiling, which is the best reason not to skip a year.
Choosing who tunes it up
Questions to ask anybody who books you, us included.
On a ductless system most of the work is indoors: a filter, a coil and a blower wheel in every head. Ask whether every head gets opened and cleaned, or whether the visit ends at the box in the yard.
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.

Mr. Moises Rojas was great! A very experienced HVAC technician who carefully examined our very old AC system, and helped guide us through options for our original AC system. Highly recommended!

Questions
By the system, the same as central air: $99 for each outdoor unit and the heads it runs, with every head opened and cleaned on the visit. The radiators belong to the boiler, and in the fall a gas boiler’s tune-up is $99 too.
Usually the owner, though some leases hand the filter and the yearly visit to the tenant. Close to half the occupied homes in the City are rented, and more than half in Seven Corners and Bailey’s Crossroads, so check the lease before the first hot week.
$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.
