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 Remington
Heat pumps are simply how Remington stays warm. Electricity heats 639 owner homes and 390 of the 661 rented ones in ZIP 22734, while only a dozen homes in the whole ZIP burn natural gas. Most houses from the 1980s on pair an outdoor heat pump with an indoor air handler holding electric strips, and the two get replaced as a matched set on the existing ducts.
Winters wear them out. NOAA’s normals for Warrenton 3 SE, ten miles north-northeast, count 98 freezing nights in a normal year, five of them down to 10 degrees or colder, and Fauquier County designs to a 17 degree night. On those nights the outdoor coil frosts, the unit pauses to defrost, and the electric strips fill in. In late January 2026 Southern Fauquier sat under Extreme Cold Warnings, the kind of week a tired compressor gives itself away.
Age comes in waves. The 1980s gave the ZIP 377 homes, its biggest decade by far, and a heat pump in one of those is a second or third by now. The County’s plan puts most of the newer building in Lee’s Glen, north of town, and The Meadows, out Lucky Hill Road, and the Census counts 192 owner homes from the 2000s. One still on its original heat pump has run close to twenty winters, quite possibly on R-22.
Wind takes a toll too. NOAA’s storm log has thunderstorm gusts estimated near 76 mph damaging homes off Justin Court in June 2012. An outdoor unit that took a limb should be checked before it runs again, and if the new one belongs somewhere higher, moving it takes a Fauquier County permit.
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 22734 as a whole, the Town included: its own homes are too few for steady Census figures. About one home in fourteen in this ZIP is in Culpeper County.
When it’s time
The Rappahannock crested at 23.1 feet at the Remington gauge in June 2018, past the 20 feet where the Weather Service expects water at homes south of town. A heat pump that sat in floodwater can start afterward and still fail early. Shut it off at the disconnect and have it checked.
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.
In a 1950s or older house switching to a heat pump, the new air handler’s strips can need a bigger circuit than the panel has room for. Have them open the panel before quoting.
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.

Oscar and Ndung were great technicians for our HVAC install! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Would recommend them to others!
Questions
Sized right, with backup, yes. The design night is 17 degrees, but Warrenton 3 SE read 3 degrees on January 7, 2014, and that cold most heat pumps lean on strips or a furnace for part of the load. Ask for the heating capacity listed at 5 degrees, not just the cooling tonnage.
Often the ducts. Rented homes in 22734 have a median year built of 1957, against 1989 for owned ones, and ducts added to an old house may be too small for a heat pump’s larger airflow. A $99 diagnostic visit shows whether a repair gets the tenant through another season first.
$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.
