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 Broad Run
Census table B25117 lumps heat pumps in with every other electric system, so how many of the ZIP’s 660 owner homes have one isn’t a number it gives. In detached houses of this age, a heat pump with backup strips is the likely setup. A replacement means a new outdoor unit and a new air handler; the ductwork stays, so its condition decides whether the new pair performs.
At Warrenton 3 SE, the closest long record, January averages a high near 42 and a low near 25, and Fauquier County sizes heating to a 17 degree design night. Below freezing a heat pump has less heat to draw from the air, and the strips in the air handler cover the gap. They draw hard, so the size of the backup and the breaker feeding it belong in the quote.
In the roughly three in ten Broad Run owner homes that burn propane, a heat pump may share the house with a propane furnace: the heat pump covers the mild months and the furnace the coldest nights. A new heat pump leaves that furnace where it is. A furnace nearing the end of its life is the moment to ask for the furnace and air conditioner range, $8,898 to $23,000, beside the heat pump’s.
Ice and snow reach the outdoor unit here. A glaze of ice was reported at Broad Run on February 1 and 2, 2011, an ice storm on February 14 and 15, 2016 left 0.2 to 0.3 inch, and a volunteer gauge about three miles south-southwest logged 14 inches from the February 2014 storm. The outdoor unit wants height above the snow and distance from limbs.
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.
ZIP 20137 as a whole: every Broad Run address. About one home in six of them is on the Prince William County side.
When it’s time
On a morning near 25 degrees a heat pump running nearly nonstop can be doing its job, with the strips helping. The same run on a mild afternoon means it’s behind. Frost that never clears, or a house that won’t warm while the outdoor fan spins, is a repair-or-replace question. The diagnostic is $99.
When the heat pump can’t keep up, the electric strips take over, and they cost far more to run. Aux heat on for hours is the sign.
It heats all winter and cools all summer, so it piles up hours an air conditioner never sees. Past 15 years, price the replacement beside any big repair.
Permits, locally
Fauquier County counts swapping an electric appliance for a similar one in the same spot as an ordinary repair that needs no permit. Moving an appliance to a new spot takes one. Source.

Choosing who installs it
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
A heat pump with backup strips asks more of the panel than a plain air conditioner did. Ask whether the quote checks the breaker and wiring feeding the air handler and the outdoor unit, and whether a bigger circuit would be priced in writing as an extra.
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
Yes, as long as the ducts and the electrical panel are up to it. Run your house through the HVAC estimator quiz and it prices the heat pump system. Oil houses are in the same position: we leave the burner alone, but a change of fuel to a heat pump is ours to price.
Swapping one electric heat pump for another of the same type in the same spot is routine work to both counties, and neither asks for a permit. Fauquier County does want one when the unit moves to a new spot. Prince William County lists work that alters a home’s heating and cooling as permit work, apart from that same-type swap.
$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.
