Monthly figures: 60mo @ 0% APR on each starting price, the whole price financed, on approved credit. Longer plans lower the payment and cost more in total. The lender sets the final terms. How financing works
Might it be a repair? The diagnostic visit is $99, and the tech prices the repair and the replacement side by side. Financing is available, subject to approval.
With Comfort+ membership at $199 a year, the diagnostic visit is included, and half of each repair bill is banked toward replacing that system, up to $1,500.
What’s different in McLean
McLean’s two ZIP codes heat differently. Electric heat covers about 45 percent of the owner homes in 22102, and more than half in the Tysons Census area itself. In 22101 it’s about one in five, with gas doing most of the work. Census heating figures file heat pumps under electricity, so those numbers are a fair map of where a heat pump replacement is a straight swap and where it means a heat pump joining a furnace.
In an all-electric tower, that heat pump may be all the heat a unit has, its indoor half tucked in a closet with electric strips behind it and its refrigerant lines running out to an outdoor half the building controls. The 2010s were 22102’s biggest building decade, more than a fifth of all its homes, so plenty of heat pumps there are still the originals, seven to sixteen years in. Some high-rises skip the outdoor half and run each closet unit off the building’s water loop; that isn’t the split system priced here, so start with management.
More than half the homes in 22102 are rented. If yours is, the replacement is the owner’s call and the owner’s bill: Virginia’s landlord and tenant law has landlords keep the heating and air conditioning they supply in good working order.
In 22101 the heat pump more often arrives as the air conditioner’s replacement, sharing the job with a gas furnace that stays. Washington Gas, the main gas company in Fairfax County, pays toward that exact trade: its Virginia rebates cover a central air conditioner replaced by a qualifying heat pump paired with a gas furnace that meets its efficiency floor, new or kept, and pay nothing when one heat pump replaces another. So the rebate that helps a 22101 gas house doesn’t reach a Tysons condo trading a worn heat pump for a new one.
Neighborhood by neighborhood
Census figures for the owner-occupied homes in each place, and what that usually means for a heat pump.
| Place | Median home built | Most homes are | Heated with | What a heat pump job usually looks like |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| McLean | 1977 | single-family houses, about 8 in 10 | gas, about 7 in 10 | Older gas houses, where a heat pump pairs with the furnace once the ducts are checked. |
| Tysons | 1985 | condo and apartment buildings, about 7 in 10 | electricity, about 5 in 10 | Condo and apartment buildings on electric heat: small heat pumps, the outdoor half on a roof, balcony or pad. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise. A heat pump counts as electric heat.
ZIPs 22101 and 22102 as a whole: every McLean address, Tysons included.
When it’s time
In an all-electric Tysons condo, the backup strips in the closet unit come on when the outdoor unit falls behind. If they’re carrying the heat on mild days too, the heat pump has quit doing its share, and the $99 visit tells a failing compressor from a refrigerant leak before anyone prices a replacement.
A heat pump can go where the air conditioner sat, heat on mild days and leave the cold nights to the furnace. That’s dual fuel.
The outdoor unit may sit on a roof, a balcony or a shared pad, so the association has a say in where a new one goes. Your condo documents say what’s yours.

Choosing who installs it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
A heat pump replacing a central air conditioner beside a gas furnace may qualify for Washington Gas’s dual fuel rebate; one replacing a heat pump won’t. Ask which yours is, what efficiency the rebate asks for, and who files it, first.
Copying the old nameplate repeats whatever guess was made when the house was built. The wrong size runs worse in both seasons.
A heat pump system is the outdoor unit plus the air handler inside. Ask whether the quote covers both, matched, in writing.
Set wrong, the electric strips run on mild days. Ask who programs the thermostat and at what outdoor temperature the strips may come on.

Questions
McLean is where we see boilers most. Hot-water heat is a regular part of our McLean heating work, far more than anywhere else we go. A boiler house cools with its own outdoor unit and air handler, often in the attic, and when that air conditioner wears out, a heat pump can replace it and use the same ducts. Then those ducts carry some heat in spring and fall, and the boiler keeps the coldest weeks.
$8,499 to $21,650 installed for a heat pump system, the outdoor unit and the air handler, 2 to 5 ton. A small single-stage system lands near the bottom, a big variable-speed one near the top. The HVAC estimator narrows it to your house.
A heat pump system runs $8,499 to $21,650 installed; a gas furnace and air conditioner together, $8,898 to $23,000. No gas line usually means a heat pump. With gas, you can keep the furnace and add one; our heat pump vs gas furnace guide runs the numbers.
