What’s different in Purcellville
Close to half the owner homes inside the town heat with electricity, and natural gas is only about one house in twenty. For most Purcellville families the heat pump is the heating system, with nothing behind it but the electric strips. When it quits at night, there is no furnace waiting to take over. That is why a no-heat call here gets handled as the urgent thing it is.
The median owner home in town is from 2001, and half were built since 2000. So the typical pump is hitting its second decade, which is when capacitors, contactors and fan motors go in clusters, and a defrost board follows. If it went in before 2010, the label may say R-22, and a leak on that refrigerant is where repair costs start to climb past what the unit is worth. The EPA ended new production in 2020, so the supply only shrinks.
About one home in five is a townhouse, and in those rows the units line up on pads out back, so you can compare. A fan spinning on your neighbor’s unit and not yours is a quick clue for us. The condensate line from an attic air handler is also a Purcellville regular: when it clogs, a stain shows up on a ceiling below, and the system shuts itself off on a float switch. It isn’t a refrigerant problem, and it is a cheap one.
Outside the town limits, propane takes over from electric as the main fuel, and the houses are older. If you are on the county side, tell us when you call whether a propane furnace sits behind the pump. If you live in town and the strips are your only backup, run the system on emergency heat as little as possible. It works, but it is electric resistance heat, and the bill will say so. For help with a furnace, we also handle furnace repair in Purcellville.
By the numbers
From the Census Bureau’s 2020 to 2024 survey. Median year built and heat count owner-occupied homes only.
Inside the town limits: the downtown grid around Main and 21st Streets, the historic corridors along Main, 21st, 23rd and 32nd Streets and Berlin Turnpike, and the newer neighborhoods such as Village Case.
What you’d notice
A clogged condensate line in an attic air handler trips a float switch and shuts the heat pump off. If a ceiling spot appeared and the unit stopped with it, the fix is often the drain, not the machine. Turn the system off and call; we start at $99.
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.
In a newer two-story house on one heat pump, the top floor lagging a few degrees can be ducts or the thermostat’s settings, not a failing unit. We check the system first and tell you which it is.

Choosing who fixes it
Questions worth asking anybody who comes out, us included.
When there is no furnace behind it, a dead heat pump is an emergency. Ask whoever you call how they handle a no-heat call at night, and whether they will stay until the house is warming.
Anyone can check on the state’s license lookup. Ours is Virginia Class A contractor license, on every van.
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.
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
It keeps the house warm, but it runs on electric strips alone and costs more by the hour. Use it for a night, not a month. A contactor at $290 to $425 or a defrost board at $450 to $1,150 is a common reason the outdoor unit won’t join in.
We put the repair and a replacement side by side and tell you which one we would pick for our own house. A small part on an old pump can still be worth it; a refrigerant leak on an R-22 unit usually isn’t.
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.
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.
