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 Reston
HVAC is a bigger share of our work in Reston than in any other town where we work regularly, and what sits out back depends on the ZIP. In 20191, around Hunters Woods and South Lakes, about six in ten owners heat with electricity, so the unit beside a cluster townhouse is a heat pump more often than not, its coil working since the first cold night of fall. Nearly half of 20191’s homes went up in the 1970s, so that heat pump is a long way from the house’s first.
Reston Association’s cluster guideline generally puts outdoor units against the house wall, and RA’s Design Review Board can ask for a fence or plantings to hide one, as long as the screen leaves room to service it. A few summers later the shrubs are touching the fins. Cleaning the coil means reaching every side and the service panel, so cut back what’s grown in and unlatch the screen’s gate before the tech arrives.
North Point and the rest of 20194 went up fast, more than eight in ten homes in the 1980s and 90s, and about two thirds of the owners there heat with gas. That makes the usual pairing a plain air conditioner in the yard and its indoor coil sitting on top of the furnace, both moving air with the furnace’s blower. Most of the builder’s outdoor units are long gone, but plenty of the replacements went in before 2010, and the label on the side says whether yours runs on R-22. That refrigerant hasn’t been made since 2020, so know what you have before a leak starts.
In 20190, from Lake Anne to Reston Town Center and the Wiehle station, about four in ten homes are in buildings of fifty units or more. There the cooling is often a compact air handler or heat pump behind a closet door, and any outdoor half sits on the roof or a shared pad. Ask management how the tech gets to both; a roof hatch usually needs a key.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reston | 1981 | condo and apartment buildings, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 5 in 10 | 1980s and 90s houses, most on their second or third air conditioner. |
| Great Falls Crossing | 1993 | single-family houses, about 9 in 10 | gas, about 8 in 10 | 1980s and 90s houses, most on their second or third air conditioner. |
By the numbers

When to book it
In a Reston cluster the lawn past your patio is often common area, mowed by the cluster association’s crew. Clippings thrown at the condenser every week can mat the fins green by late June. Book the tune-up before the heat, and ask the cluster whether the crew can mow with the chute turned away.
It cools all summer and heats all winter, so it piles up more hours in a year than an air conditioner that sits idle from October to May.
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.
In a cluster row the unit often sits close to the siding, and the coil face toward the wall is the one that’s easy to skip. Ask about it before you book.
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
No. A tune-up leaves the same unit in the same spot, and RA’s design review is about changes to the outside of the house. Even a replacement skips the application when the new unit goes in the approved location, stands four feet tall or less and is rated no louder than the old one.
$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.
