What it costs
$99 for one furnace, anywhere we work. The tech checks the gas pressure, the temperature rise, the safeties and the sequence of operation, which is the order the furnace lights, heats and shuts down in. A repair it turns up gets a written price first, and you decide.
Furnace tune-up, one system
$99
Heat pump, boiler or ductless mini split tune-up, one system
$99
Comfort+ membership, a heating maintenance visit every fall included
$199 a year
It’s priced per system, so a house with a second furnace for the upstairs is two tune-ups. A heat pump, a boiler or a ductless mini split is the same $99 a system.
With Comfort+ membership, $199 a year or $20 a month covers four visits every year: a heating maintenance visit in the fall, a cooling maintenance visit in the spring, a dryer vent cleaning, and a water heater flush with a sewer camera inspection. We book each one when it’s due.
What’s different in Falls Church
Pimmit Hills is the most gas-heated corner of the Falls Church address: about 9 in 10 owners there heat with gas, about three in four homes are single-family, and half its owner-occupied homes were up by 1961. Lake Barcroft follows at about 8 in 10, and the City and West Falls Church at about 7 in 10. In those houses the furnace usually sits in a basement or a utility room, and after sixty-odd winters it’s rarely the house’s first.
Pimmit Hills has a newer layer: close to a quarter of its homes have gone up since 2000, and inside the City it’s close to three in ten. A furnace from those years usually has a draft motor that must prove the vent is clear before the burners light, and more switches watching each step. The sequence of operation check follows it from a cold start through lighting, the blower kicking on and the shutdown, so a lazy step shows up in early fall, while a repair can wait for a mild day.
Older basement furnaces carry a summer load of their own: the air conditioner’s coil sits right on top, and every hour of cooling since May pulled dust into it. The heat has to push through that same coil, so temperature rise, the gap between the air coming back and the air going out, is the reading that matters most. Gas pressure is read against the rating plate, natural gas or propane.
Falls Church is one of the two places, with McLean, where boilers are a regular part of our heating work. A radiator house is no exception: a boiler that burns natural gas or propane is tuned up for $99 as well, and our boiler service guide walks through what that visit looks at. Bailey’s Crossroads goes the other way, with more than half its owners on electric heat, mostly heat pumps, and those are $99 a system as well.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for the owner-occupied homes in each place, and what that usually means for a tune-up.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | What the tune-up usually meets |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| West Falls Church | 1957 | single-family houses, about 6 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Gas furnaces in older houses, often on a chimney shared with the water heater. |
| Bailey’s Crossroads | 1980 | condo and apartment buildings, about 6 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | Condo buildings: mostly electric heat, small units in closets. |
| Idylwood | 1975 | condo and apartment buildings, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 5 in 10 | Condo buildings: compact gas furnaces in closets. |
| City of Falls Church | 1964 | condo and apartment buildings, about 5 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Condo buildings: compact gas furnaces in closets. |

When it’s worth doing
With the AC coil stacked on a basement furnace, a coil or filter packed by summer traps the heat. The furnace runs hot, a limit switch cuts the burners to protect it, and the blower keeps pushing lukewarm air. A high temperature rise on the tune-up shows it before the first cold week does.
The heat in your closet is usually yours to look after, not the association’s. Check your documents, then book it like any house.
That’s the night every furnace in town gets asked to work at once. A tune-up in the fall finds a weak part while you still get to choose when it’s fixed.
Safety and paperwork
The Arlington County Fire Department, which offers home safety checks to City of Falls Church residents, asks on its home checklist whether a forced-air furnace’s filter is changed yearly and its venting cleaned, and whether the furnace sits clear of combustible walls and ceilings. Source.
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue says to have the heating system cleaned and checked by a professional every year, and to keep anything that burns at least three feet from the furnace and the water heater. Source.
Fairfax County Fire and Rescue names a faulty gas furnace or water heater as a carbon monoxide source, says to have gas appliances inspected every fall, and to put a CO alarm on every floor. Source.

Choosing who tunes it up
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
In a Falls Church basement the furnace, the coil above it and the filter beside it move one stream of air. A clean flame on a furnace that can’t breathe still overheats. Ask whether the tech measures the airflow.
Ask before anyone comes out. Gas pressure and temperature rise are readings on a meter, so a real tune-up has numbers in it, not just a look at the filter.
Some tune-ups end in a list. Ask which items are failing now, which can wait a season, and what each one costs, before you agree to any of it.

Quick response, Elvis was knocking my door in a couple of hours after my call to the office. He did full inspection for both HVAC units, and answered all my questions. Both systems are working well. I always have very pleasant experience with SwiftPro

Questions
Yes, if it burns natural gas or propane, at the same $99 as a furnace. The burner gets the same checks, gas pressure, the safeties and a full firing cycle, and because a boiler heats water, not air, the tech also reads the pressure gauge and looks at the expansion tank, the circulator and the relief valve.
The Arlington County Fire Department offers them to City residents, and its checklist covers the furnace’s filter, venting and what sits near it. On the county side, Fairfax County Fire and Rescue asks for a professional heating check every year.
$99 for one furnace, and the same for a heat pump, a boiler or a ductless mini split. If it turns up a repair, you get the price in writing before any work, and you decide.
No. The furnace tune-up is its own visit at $99. The Heating Check and the Clean Heat deep clean, the one that takes the blower wheel out and cleans it, are separate offers with their own terms on our Clean Heat page.
