The heat is weak and the house is a rental
A tenant can tell the landlord four useful things: is the outdoor fan running, are the vents warm or cool, is there ice on the unit, and how long has it been. That makes a first visit faster and cheaper.

What’s different in Remington
In Remington the person who calls about the heat pump is often the tenant, and the river sometimes gets there first.
Remington is a rental town. In ZIP 22734 there are 661 rented homes against 858 owned, and the median rented home dates to 1957 while the median owned one dates to 1989. Heat pumps carry about three owner homes in four. So the house with a dead pump might be a 1950s rental where the tenant is cold and the landlord hasn’t heard yet.
If you rent, call your landlord first, because the equipment is theirs. A tenant who tells us the symptoms helps: whether the outdoor fan runs, whether the vents blow cold or warm air, whether the house has been losing heat for a day or a week. Landlords can send the details along and approve the repair on one call. We can write up findings and price so there’s nothing to chase.
About 287 homes in the ZIP date to 1939 or earlier, and the downtown streets still hold Queen Anne and Victorian houses. Many were split into apartments or fitted with a pump decades after they went up. Their air handlers hide in a closet or the attic, and the ducts are whatever fit. Like the other old houses nearby, an odd cold room is a duct issue before it’s a pump issue.
The Rappahannock matters here. The National Weather Service says portions of downtown near the railroad tracks flood when the river reaches 25 feet, and in June 2018 it crested at 23.1 feet with water in a couple of homes. If an outdoor unit has stood in water, switch it off at the breaker and don’t restart it. Wet electrical parts run badly at first and fail later, and we’d rather check before it does.
By the numbers
Remington houses, by the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
The Fauquier County side
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.
- Median home built1989 Census
- Built before 1980about 5 in 10 Census
- Built since 2000about 2 in 10 Census
- Most homes aresingle-family houses, about 8 in 10 Census
- Heated withelectricity, about 7 in 10 Census
- Rentedabout 4 in 10 Census
- A lot of homes here heat with electricity, most of them heat pumps, so a failing outdoor unit shows up on the power bill before it shows up as a cold house.
What you’d notice
What a heat pump in trouble in Remington usually does.
Aux or emergency heat that never goes off
When the outdoor unit stops pulling its weight, the electric strips in the air handler carry the house. The house stays warm, and the bill tells you a few weeks later. A stuck contactor is a common reason, and one of the cheapest fixes on our list.
The outdoor unit is a block of ice
A little frost on a cold morning is normal, and the unit melts it off every so often by running backwards for a few minutes. Ice that builds for hours and covers the whole coil usually means the defrost board, a sensor, or low refrigerant.

Choosing who fixes it
How to pick a heat pump repair company in Remington.
Questions worth asking anybody who comes out, us included.
Will you send a landlord the findings in writing?
If you manage a rental in Remington, ask for the cause, the part and the price on paper. A written quote lets you approve the repair from your phone.
Is the company licensed in Virginia?
Anyone can check on the state’s license lookup. Ours is Virginia Class A contractor license, on every van.
Do they price the repair before they start?
Every heat pump repair on our list has a range, and you hear where yours lands before a part goes in. If someone can’t give you a number until it’s done, keep looking.
Will they tell you when it’s not worth fixing?
An older heat pump with a refrigerant leak is often a bad repair. A good tech says so, with the repair price and the replacement price side by side.

Questions
Heat pump questions from Remington.
My outdoor unit was sitting in floodwater. Can I turn it back on?
Not yet. Leave the breaker off until a tech has checked the contactor, the wiring and the motor, since water in those parts is a safety risk. Our heat pump repair team can look at it once the water is gone.
What does a typical small repair cost?
A capacitor runs $240 to $370, a contactor runs $290 to $425 and the diagnostic is $99. The price comes to you in writing before any work begins.
Why does my heat pump in Remington steam and go quiet in the cold?
That’s defrost. The unit stops the outdoor fan, runs backwards for a few minutes to melt frost off the coil, and you see steam rising. It’s normal. Ice that stays is not.
How much does heat pump repair cost in Remington?
The diagnostic visit is $99. From our price book, a capacitor is $240 to $370, a contactor $290 to $425, and a defrost board $450 to $1,150. You get the number before we start.
