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 Stafford
Across 22554 and 22556 about 57 percent of owners heat with electricity, usually a heat pump, against about 30 percent on natural gas and 8 percent on propane. So for a lot of Stafford houses the fall visit isn’t a furnace at all, and a heat pump tune-up costs the same $99 a system. On one, the sequence of operation includes the moment the backup strips kick in, the part a hard cold night leans on. In Aquia Harbour it’s 97 owners in 100 on electric heat.
How cold it gets depends on the station. Fredericksburg’s, on the Rappahannock about 10 miles south-southwest of the courthouse, counts about 101 nights a year at 32 or below and 4,300 heating degree days; Quantico’s, on the Potomac about 8 miles northeast, about 76 and 4,002. Half of years bring Fredericksburg’s first freeze by November 1, Quantico’s by November 8. Stafford sits on the Fall Zone between them, 183 feet up at the courthouse’s survey point and 18 at Aquia Harbour’s, so book in September or October.
Gas clusters near the courthouse. In the Census place around it, where about eight homes in ten went up since 2000, close to six owners in ten burn natural gas, often in a builder’s furnace near twenty winters old, in a closet or attic. Out in 22556 the fuel flips: more owners heat with propane than natural gas, about 15 percent against 13. A propane furnace gets the same visit, its pressure read against propane’s numbers.
Winter storms here take the power too. NOAA’s records put up to 23.5 inches near Roseville in February 2010, with outages countywide from snow-loaded trees and lines, and in January 2022 rain softened the ground ahead of the snow, so more trees fell onto power lines. A gas or propane furnace needs electricity to light and run its blower. When the lights come back and the heat doesn’t, call us after a storm and we’ll check it all.
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aquia Harbour | 1984 | single-family houses, nearly all | electricity, nearly all | Mostly heat pumps; furnaces are the smaller share. |
| Stafford Courthouse | 2005 | single-family houses, about 4 in 10 | gas, about 6 in 10 | The builder’s gas furnaces, many close to 20 years old. |
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
ZIPs 22554 and 22556 as a whole: every Stafford address. The Census places in the table hold about one in seven of these homes.
When it’s worth doing
After an outage the heat should restart once the thermostat calls. If it doesn’t, check the breaker and the furnace’s switch. Still nothing usually means a safety tripped or a part failed: call, don’t keep resetting.
Propane runs at a different gas pressure than natural gas, so the tune-up checks yours against propane’s numbers.
A furnace that went in with the house is close to 20 years old on a lot of these streets. That’s the age when inducer motors and control boards start to go, and a yearly look finds the tired ones before a cold night does.
Choosing who tunes it up
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
Heat pump strips run only on the coldest nights and during defrost, so they can sit broken unnoticed. On January 1, 2018 wind chills hit about 6 below at Stafford Regional Airport. Ask the tech to call for the strips and note the result.
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.

Quick response, Elvis was knocking my door in a couple of hours after my call to the office. He did full inspection for both HVAC units, and answered all my questions. Both systems are working well. I always have very pleasant experience with SwiftPro

Questions
Yes. It’s the same $99 a system, and the tech runs the heat pump through a full heating cycle, backup heat included.
Only outdoors. Stafford County Fire and Rescue says never within 20 feet of the house, and to keep working smoke and carbon monoxide alarms on every floor. Wiring one to the house is a licensed electrician’s job.
$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.
