Two systems from the same era, in a ZIP whose median house dates to 1993.
ZIP 20106’s median owner home went up in 1993, and the rest spread wide: about one in eight before 1960, about a third from 1980 through 1999 and about three in ten since 2000. A house at the median age is on, at best, its second furnace and air conditioner. One from 2000 or later may still have the builder’s pair, now well into its twenties.
A furnace with an air conditioner is the setup where propane or gas does the heating: about four owner homes in ten here burn propane, and about two in a hundred have utility gas. The electric houses, a bit over a third, replace with a heat pump system instead, $8,499 to $21,650 installed. At the Boston station heating degree days outnumber cooling degree days, 4,836 to 936, so the furnace is the unit in the pair that does most of the work.
Both ends of the range come up. That station hit 100 degrees on July 8 and 9, 2012, logs about 22 days a year at 90 or higher, and counts about 120 nights at or below freezing, with 12 below zero on January 7, 2014. A house needs cooling sized for the hot afternoons and heating sized for the cold nights, and heating carries the bigger share of the year.
About one owner home in eight here heats with oil. We don’t work on oil burners, so those houses come to us as a switch, and a furnace and AC pair or a heat pump system is what we price. A gas or propane furnace in the pair is permit work in Rappahannock County, Culpeper County and Fauquier County alike; the offices are in Washington, Culpeper and Warrenton.
Amissville houses, by the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey, owner-occupied homes unless it says otherwise.
The Culpeper County side
ZIP 20106 as a whole: about half its homes are in Culpeper County, about four in ten in Rappahannock County, where the village is, and a few in Fauquier County.

When replacing both makes sense in Amissville.
The furnace and the AC quit within a year of each other
Check both data plates. If the furnace and the outdoor unit went in the same year, the coil and the furnace have aged together, and replacing only one opens the closet now and again a winter or two later. Pairs that went in together tend to fail together.
The outdoor unit runs on R-22
The label on its side names the refrigerant. R-22 hasn’t been made or imported in the US since 2020, so a leak gets expensive. Replace it on your schedule, not in July.
A big repair on an old system
A compressor or heat exchanger on a system past 15 years deserves a replacement price beside it, and you’ll get both numbers.
Who signs off on a new system in Amissville.
Rappahannock County
Virginia’s building code lets a home’s mechanical appliance be replaced without a permit only when it isn’t fueled by gas or oil, so in Rappahannock County a gas or propane furnace swap is permit work. Source.
Fauquier County
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.
Fauquier County wants a permit for any fuel-fired appliance, so a gas or propane furnace replacement is permit work even in the same spot. Trade permits need no plans, and usually no zoning approval. Source.
Outside the town limits, Fauquier County issues the permit. It wants one for any fuel-fired water heater, propane included, and for any heater being moved; an electric one swapped for a similar unit in the same spot counts as an ordinary repair. Trade permits go out over the counter the day the application comes in. Source.
How to pick who replaces your furnace and AC in Amissville.
Ask every company that quotes the job, us included.
Did they size it for the cold nights and the hot afternoons?
Ask how the quote was sized, not just what it costs. A house here needs heat on about 120 nights a year at or below freezing and cooling on about 22 afternoons at 90 or higher, and the heating side does the bigger share. A tech who measured the house, not just the old unit’s label, sized it.
Do they size it to the house, or copy the old label?
The old size is a guess somebody made years ago. Ask whether they measure the house and check the ductwork first. Too big short cycles; too small runs all afternoon in August.
Is the whole job in the written price?
Furnace, outdoor unit, matching coil, refrigerant lines, thermostat, permit and hauling the old one away. If it isn’t on the paper, ask.

Furnace and AC replacement questions from Amissville.
Is a heat pump or a furnace and AC the usual replacement in Amissville?
It follows the fuel. Propane is the largest in ZIP 20106, about four owner homes in ten, and those houses keep a furnace and AC; the electric ones, a bit over a third, take a heat pump. The heating page lays out each option, and a diagnostic visit is $99 if it might still be a repair.
What if only the furnace or only the AC has failed?
A new furnace on its own, with your air conditioner left in place, comes to $4,285 to $14,040. Whether to replace only one depends on the labels: if the other unit is clearly younger, one at a time can make sense. If they match, price the pair beside it, since the system price covers both at once.
How much does a new furnace and AC cost in Amissville?
$8,898 to $23,000 installed for the pair, by size and efficiency. A furnace alone, keeping your AC, is $4,285 to $14,040. The HVAC replacement estimator gives your house its own number.
Do I have to replace both at the same time?
No. If the AC is young and only the furnace failed, replace the furnace. If they’re the same age, do both: a new outdoor unit needs a matched coil, and one built for the old refrigerant isn’t rated for the new one.
