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 Reston
Your ZIP says a lot about what the fall visit meets. About seven in ten owners in 20190, from Lake Anne to Reston Town Center, heat with gas, and about two in three in 20194 around North Point. In 20191, around Hunters Woods and South Lakes, it flips: about six in ten heat with electricity, usually through a heat pump, and its tune-up is the same $99. Boilers are rare in Reston, so gas heat here means a furnace, usually sharing its blower with the air conditioning.
North Point’s houses went up mostly in the 1980s and 90s, so a furnace there is often the house’s second, and many are high-efficiency models, often with two white plastic pipes through a side wall, one bringing burner air in and one carrying exhaust out. They often end a foot or two above the ground, right where October’s leaves pile up. A pressure switch shuts the burners down when a pipe is blocked, and the tune-up runs the full sequence of operation so that switch and every other safety has to prove it works.
The older clusters, around Lake Anne, where Reston’s first village center opened in 1965, and along the 1970s streets of 20191, often tuck the furnace into a closet. One that vents into a metal flue draws its burner air from around it, often through louvers in the closet door. Coats hung over them or a closet packed full leave the burners short. The gas pressure and temperature rise the tune-up measures show whether the flame and the airflow are right.
More than half of 20190’s homes are in condo and apartment buildings, and about half of its occupied homes are rented. A furnace in a condo closet is usually the owner’s to keep up, while the gas line and the flue may be the building’s. Renting it out? Book it before the tenant’s first cold night, and any repair it finds is priced in writing first.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Reston | 1981 | condo and apartment buildings, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 5 in 10 | 1980s and 90s houses, most on their second gas furnace. |
| Great Falls Crossing | 1993 | single-family houses, about 9 in 10 | gas, about 8 in 10 | 1980s and 90s houses, most on their second gas furnace. |
By the numbers

When it’s worth doing
On a high-efficiency furnace that often means the pressure switch saw a blocked pipe and kept the burners off. Clear the leaves or snow from the two white pipes outside, then turn the thermostat off and back to heat. If it still won’t light, call us.
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.
The home inspector ran the heat for a minute. A tune-up runs it through a full cycle with the panel off, and tells you what the last owners left you.
Safety and paperwork

Choosing who tunes it up
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
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.

Elvis Diaz from SwiftPro did a fantastic job of inspecting my HVAC system, he explained everything in a very professional way, for example, he recommended the right filter type to use. It is a job well done.

Questions
Yes. About one Reston owner home in a hundred heats with propane, and a propane furnace gets the same tune-up at $99. Propane runs at a higher pressure at the burners than natural gas, so the tech checks it against the setting for propane, not natural gas.
It does. Reston’s water generally comes from Fairfax Water’s Corbalis plant, and in 2025 it ran hardest from September to November, about 10 to 11 grains per gallon against about 4 in May. A furnace humidifier starts up just as the water hardens, and its pad crusts over with scale. Point it out to the tech; a new pad each fall is a cheap part.
$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.
