Written October 2026 from our own price book and offers list, with ENERGY STAR, Goodman, EPA, Trane and Carrier read at the source the same week.
An HVAC service call is a $99 diagnostic, and a tune-up is $99 per system. Both are flat prices, heat or AC, anywhere we work in Northern Virginia. Everything past that depends on what the technician finds, and you get that price in writing before any work starts. Book HVAC service online, or call (703) 997-9757.
What moves the rest of the bill is mostly three things: which part failed, what kind of system it sits in, and whether the manufacturer still covers that part. Every price below comes from our own price book, not a national average.

HVAC service cost, visit by visit
Every kind of HVAC visit we run, with our price. The repair and replacement rows are ranges because the part and the system decide where you land; the rest are flat.
| Visit | What you get | Our price |
|---|---|---|
| Service call (the diagnostic) | A technician finds the fault and prices the repair in writing. Heat or AC, any brand | $99, included for Comfort+ members |
| Tune-up, one system | The AC before summer, or the furnace or heat pump before winter. Boilers and ductless mini-splits too | $99 |
| Heating Check, this fall | A safety and operation check on one furnace or heat pump, through December 31 | $67 |
| Heating Check with the Blower Wheel Deep Clean | The check, plus the blower wheel pulled and cleaned blade by blade, a new filter, the dampers set for winter and a furnace tune-up, through December 31 | $229, regularly $467 |
| Common repairs | From a flame sensor cleaned to a condenser fan motor replaced | $95 to $1,500 |
| The two big repairs | A refrigerant leak found and fixed, or a compressor out of warranty | $1,850 to $5,100, from $31/mo at 0% APR for 60 months |
| Comfort+ membership | Two HVAC maintenance visits, a dryer vent cleaning and a water heater flush each year, the diagnostic included, 15% off any service | $199 a year, or $20 a month |
| A new system, installed | From a gas furnace on its own to a furnace and AC together | $4,285 to $23,000, from $71/mo at 0% APR for 60 months |
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.
The Heating Check and the Deep Clean are this fall’s deals and end December 31. The tune-up and the diagnostic are everyday prices. Whatever we’re running right now, on every service, is on our offers page.
What an HVAC service call costs, and what the visit covers
The service call is $99, flat. That’s the diagnostic: a technician comes out, finds out why the system isn’t doing its job, and hands you the repair price in writing before anything gets opened up or ordered. It’s the same $99 for a furnace, a heat pump, a central AC, a ductless mini-split or a hot water boiler, and the same for any brand: Trane, Carrier, Rheem, Mitsubishi Electric, Lennox, Goodman, Amana, Daikin, York, Bryant, Ruud, Payne, Coleman, Luxaire and the rest, including systems somebody else put in.
What the $99 buys is measurement. On the electrical side, the voltage at the unit and the current each motor draws. On the refrigerant side, the pressures and the temperatures going in and coming out. On a gas furnace, the flame, the igniter and the safeties. Readings are how a weak capacitor gets told apart from a failing compressor, two problems that can look alike from the yard and sit at opposite ends of the price list.
Then it’s your call. Approve the repair, and if the part is on the truck it usually gets fixed on the same visit: capacitors, contactors, igniters and flame sensors tend to ride along. Say no, and the diagnosis is still yours to keep. Comfort+ members get the diagnostic included.
No heat on a January night, or no AC in a heat wave? We run 24/7 emergency service, and for that kind of call, phone rather than book online. What can’t wait, and what to do in the first hour, is in emergency HVAC service.
What an HVAC tune-up costs, and what you get for it
A tune-up is $99 per system: the AC before summer, the furnace or heat pump before winter, and boilers and ductless mini-splits at the same price. ENERGY STAR’s maintenance checklist sets the calendar: cooling checked in the spring, heating in the fall. So most houses here need two a year, $198 at the current price, whether that’s a furnace with central AC or one heat pump doing both jobs.
ENERGY STAR’s list of what a check-up should include is a fair yardstick for any tune-up you pay for: electrical connections tightened and the current on the motors measured, the controls and the starting cycle checked, the condensate drain looked at, and then the coils and the refrigerant charge on the cooling side, or the gas pressure, the burners and the heat exchanger on the heating side. It’s mostly measuring, and the point is to find the capacitor that’s going weak in May, when replacing it is $240 to $370 on a day you pick. The visit, line by line, is in our HVAC service checklist. Each one up close: what an AC tune-up includes and what a furnace tune-up includes and costs.
This fall there’s a second way in for the heat. Through December 31, the $67 Heating Check is a safety and operation check on one furnace or heat pump. For $229, regularly $467, we also pull the blower wheel and clean it blade by blade, fit a new filter, set the dampers for winter and tune the furnace. The wheel doesn’t need pulling every year; every three to five years is plenty for most houses.
What the common HVAC repairs cost, by system
Most of what a service call turns up costs $95 to $1,500 to fix. Here’s the full range by system, with the repairs we run most and the post that prices every part.
| System | Repair range, and the usual ones | Every part priced |
|---|---|---|
| Central AC | $175 to $2,400. Most often a run capacitor, $240 to $370, a contactor, $290 to $425, or a clogged drain cleared, $175 to $420 | AC repair costs |
| Gas furnace | $95 to $2,400. Most often a flame sensor cleaned, $95 to $180, an igniter, $240 to $410, or a control board, $550 to $1,180 | Furnace repair costs |
| Heat pump | $240 to $2,400. Most often a capacitor, $240 to $370, a defrost board, $450 to $1,150, or a thermostat set up for backup heat, $300 to $640 | Heat pump repair costs |
Two repairs sit in a bracket of their own, and they’re the ones that start the repair-or-replace conversation. A refrigerant leak found, fixed and recharged runs $1,850 to $2,700. From about $31 a month at 0% APR for 60 months, the whole price financed, on approved credit. A compressor out of warranty runs $2,200 to $5,100. From about $37 a month at 0% APR for 60 months, the whole price financed, on approved credit.
Starting from the symptom instead of the price? HVAC repair walks from what the system is doing to the part that’s usually behind it, heat or AC.
What pushes an HVAC service bill up or down
Same symptom, two houses, two different bills. Here’s what makes the difference.
- The part. A capacitor is $240 to $370; a blower motor is $670 to $2,400. Inside one row, the range is the job itself: the blower motor’s spread is a standard motor against a variable-speed one, and a refrigerant leak’s is where the leak turns out to be.
- Whether it rides on the truck. Capacitors, contactors, igniters and flame sensors usually do, so those are the fixes that tend to happen on the first visit.
- The refrigerant. Topping up R-410A, one to three pounds, is $190 to $740. A system that needs it again next summer is leaking, and finding and fixing that leak is the repair that ends it. An older system on R-22 is a harder case: EPA says no new R-22 has been made or imported in the United States since January 1, 2020, so what’s left to charge it with is used refrigerant, cleaned up.
- The warranty. Trane’s parts warranty usually runs 10 years when the equipment is registered within 60 days of the install, and 5 years when it isn’t. Carrier’s window is 90 days. A parts warranty pays for the part, not the hours to put it in. On a compressor that’s the difference between $1,900 to $2,500 for labor and refrigerant with the part covered and $2,200 to $5,100 with it out of warranty, so find the install paperwork before anyone quotes you one. From about $32 a month at 0% APR for 60 months, the whole price financed, on approved credit.
- How early it’s caught. A capacitor that tests weak on a spring tune-up is a small, planned repair. The condenser fan motor is the one to catch: if it stops and the compressor keeps running, the repair gets more expensive by the minute.
- Membership and the month’s deals. Comfort+ members get the diagnostic included and take 15% off any service. The fall Heating Check is one deal; the rest are on the offers page.
What doesn’t change: the visit itself. The diagnostic and the tune-up are the same price whatever brand is on the cabinet.
What HVAC service costs with a Comfort+ membership
The best deal we have for the year is the membership: $199 a year for dryer vent cleaning, a water heater flush, heating and cooling maintenance, and 15% off any service. That’s Comfort+, also $20 a month, month to month. Its four visits a year are 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 them and keep the records.
On the HVAC side, members also get the $99 diagnostic included. Half of each repair bill is banked toward replacing that system, up to $1,500, and each credit lasts 24 months. So a control board this winter isn’t money gone if the furnace gets replaced next year.
When it isn’t worth it: a system you’re replacing this year. Put that money toward the new one.
When an HVAC service call turns into a replacement
Most service calls end in a repair, and we’d rather they did. Goodman’s rule of thumb is a fair place to draw the line: when a major part fails, or the repair comes “close to 1/2 the price a new air conditioner,” replacing may be the better buy. Our own version: a furnace past fifteen years with a repair over a third of the price of a new one is usually better replaced, and a cracked heat exchanger ends the conversation. An R-22 system with a real leak usually gets a new system’s price beside the repair.
When it is time, a new system from us runs $4,285 to $23,000 installed, from a gas furnace on its own to a furnace and AC together. From about $71 a month at 0% APR for 60 months, the whole price financed, on approved credit. Where you land is the system, its size and its efficiency. The HVAC estimator prices your own house in about a minute, HVAC replacement pricing walks through what drives the number, and HVAC replacement has a page for each system.
The best deal we have on a replacement right now: Free furnace with a new AC and its matching coil. The terms are on its own page. Holding another company’s quote that says replace? Get our free second opinion first.
HVAC service cost questions, answered straight
How much does an HVAC service call cost?
With us, $99, flat, heat or AC and any brand. That’s the diagnostic: a technician finds the fault and prices the repair in writing before any work starts, and you can say no to the repair. Comfort+ members get it included.
How much does an HVAC tune-up cost?
$99 per system: the AC before summer, the furnace or heat pump before winter, and boilers and ductless mini-splits too. Through December 31, the $67 Heating Check is the other way to get a furnace or heat pump looked at before winter. Current deals are on our offers page.
What is included in HVAC service?
It depends on the visit. A service call is a diagnostic: electrical readings, refrigerant pressures, temperatures and, on a furnace, the flame and the safeties, ending in a written price. A tune-up should cover ENERGY STAR’s list: connections tightened, motors measured, the drain checked, and the coils and refrigerant on the cooling side or the burners and heat exchanger on the heating side. The visit, line by line, is in our HVAC service checklist.
How often should HVAC be serviced?
Twice a year for most houses: the cooling in the spring and the heating in the fall, which is ENERGY STAR’s schedule. That holds for a heat pump, which works both seasons, and for a furnace with central AC. Look at the filter every month in between.
Is an HVAC service plan worth it?
If you’d book the visits anyway, usually yes. Comfort+ is $199 a year, or $20 a month, for two HVAC maintenance visits, a dryer vent cleaning and a water heater flush, with the $99 diagnostic included and 15% off any service. If the system is being replaced this year, put the money toward the new one instead.
How much does HVAC service cost per year?
Booked one visit at a time, two tune-ups are $198 a year at the current price, plus $99 for a service call when something breaks. Comfort+ is $199 a year with both HVAC maintenance visits, the diagnostic included and 15% off repairs, plus a dryer vent cleaning and a water heater flush. Repairs come on top of either, priced in writing first.
Does a heat pump cost more to service than a furnace?
Not per visit: a tune-up is $99 per system either way, and the diagnostic is $99. A heat pump heats and cools, so it wants a visit in the spring and another in the fall, the same two visits a house with a furnace and central AC needs. Heat pump repairs run $240 to $2,400; every part is in heat pump repair costs.
Is it worth repairing an old HVAC system?
For most parts, yes. Put a new system’s price beside the repair when the repair is close to half of it, when a furnace past fifteen years needs a repair over a third of a new one, when a compressor fails out of warranty, or when an R-22 system has a real leak. We’ll price both and tell you which we’d pick.
Does the brand of my system change the service price?
No. The $99 diagnostic and the $99 tune-up are the same whatever the brand, and we work on Trane, Carrier, Rheem and Mitsubishi Electric equipment and on Lennox, Goodman, Amana, Daikin, York, Bryant, Ruud, Payne, Coleman, Luxaire and the rest, including systems somebody else installed.
