Upperville heat runs on propane and heat pumps, through hard frosts and Blue Ridge snow.
Fauquier County sizes a heating system for an outdoor low of 17 degrees. The nearest long-running thermometer at the village’s height, the Purcellville co-op station, averages a January low of 24.5, about 115 nights a year at or below freezing, five or so at 10 or colder, and close to a dozen days when the high never gets above freezing. Mount Weather, on the ridge just north, runs colder, but the village at 557 feet belongs with the valley figure.
The Census survey of ZIP 20184 found more owner homes heating with electricity than with propane, and none on utility gas. Electric heat here usually means a heat pump, which pulls warmth from the outdoor air until that air gets too cold to give enough, then calls in its backup: electric strips or a paired propane furnace. Late January 2026 put that to the test, with Extreme Cold Warnings on the coldest nights. The tune-up brings the backup on while the tech watches, and a heat pump is the same $69 a system.
The rest burn propane from a tank on the property. A propane furnace is dead without electricity, since the igniter, the inducer and the blower all run on it, and Upperville’s trees take the lines down: an ice storm in February 2016 glazed northern Fauquier with up to three tenths of an inch, and the March 2018 nor’easter brought trees and wires down across the county, many onto houses. If the furnace won’t light once the power’s back, or lights and quits, call us.
The oldest houses on the old turnpike, stone, brick and a few built around log rooms, went up long before anybody planned for central heat, so the furnace lives wherever it fit later: a cellar corner, a crawlspace, a back closet. Where a propane furnace or boiler still exhausts up an old masonry chimney, draft is the reading to watch, and the tune-up proves the spill safety shuts the burners off when the flue stops pulling. A propane boiler is the same $69 too.
What a furnace tune-up costs in Upperville.
$69 for one furnace, regularly $99, 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, regularly$99
- Heat pump, boiler or ductless mini split tune-up, one system$69
- 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 $69 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.
When a furnace tune-up earns its keep in Upperville.
Snow drifted over the heat pump
After the January 2016 blizzard a Weather Service employee at Bluemont, eight and a half miles north-northeast, measured 36 inches. A heat pump buried to its coil can’t draw air through to heat, and the backup ends up carrying the house. Clear the top and a couple of feet around it; if it still runs on backup once it’s clear, book the visit.
Before the first cold night
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.
You just bought the house
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.

How to pick who tunes up your furnace in Upperville.
Questions to ask anybody who quotes you, us included.
Do they say what the tune-up checks?
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.
Will they tell you what can wait?
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.

Furnace tune-up questions from Upperville.
When should an Upperville furnace tune-up be booked?
September, or the first half of October. By October 25 there’s an even chance the Purcellville station has had its first freezing night, and from then to mid-April the heat runs most nights.
Is my heat pump big enough for an Upperville winter?
The County sizes heating for a 17 degree night, and below that every heat pump leans harder on its backup. One that runs without stopping on a 30 degree day, or a backup that kicks on in mild weather, is worth flagging at the tune-up.
How much is a furnace tune-up in Upperville?
$69 for one furnace, regularly $99, 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.
Is this the Heating Check or the Clean Heat?
No. The furnace tune-up is its own visit at $69. 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.
