Furnace Repair

Don’t get left in the cold! Is your furnace acting up, blowing cold air, or making too much noise? Our experienced team of professionals is here to keep your home warm and cozy. We repair all makes and models, and we will never try to sell you a service that you don’t need. Our technicians are honest and hard working, and we’re always transparent and fair about the work we do.

Furnace Replacement

Sometimes a repair is not sufficient to fix your furnace. Sometimes a new furnace is the most cost-effective and energy-efficient way to go. We will always be honest with you about a possible furnace replacement. We value our time and your money––we don’t want to perform repairs or service on an appliance that is in need of replacement.

If you do need a furnace replacement, we know how overwhelming it can be. Here are some of the frequently asked questions about furnaces that we get from some of our Arlington, VA, residents:

What Are The Different Types Of Furnaces?

Single Stage: A single-stage furnace has only one stage of operation. It can either be turned on or turned off.

Two Stage: A two-stage furnace has two settings––full and half speed. This is a more efficient way to heat and provides for better comfort, because it can move the air at a slower pace.

Variable Stage or Modulating: A variable-stage or modulating furnace modulates the speed and heat output based on the temperature outside and the desired comfort level. This furnace only works as much as you need it, making this type the most energy-efficient type of furnace.

What Is AFUE?

AFUE, or Annualized Fuel Utilization Efficiency, is a measure of furnace-heating efficiency. The higher the AFUE, the more efficient the furnace.

What Size Furnace Do I Need?

We can calculate the correct size furnace for your home. The number of BTUs, or British Thermal Units, needed to heat your home is dependent on a number of variables. Contrary to what you might think, a bigger furnace may not necessarily mean more heating power for your home. Call us at Arlington Heating & Air Conditioning, and we can set up an appointment to calculate the furnace size you might need.

“I pay $280 a year for a maintenance agreement, which does not include a humidifier pad or an air filter. What it does cover is a comprehensive review of my HVAC system
twice a year. The maintenance crew is very well trained to spot problems and keep my A/C and gas heating system in excellent condition (usually an hour inspection, sometimes a bit longer) so I can minimize any surprises to either systems during the year. So far, after 30 years plus, this has worked for me.”

“On April 15, 2024, we had a 20 year old heating and AC system replaced with a new Carrier gas furnace and AC unit. We also had the Aprilaire humidifier and the digital thermostat replaced. The men showed up when they said they would and quickly removed the old equipment. The new system was put in and tested in one day. After everything was working, they showed us how to set the new thermostat and the humidifier controls. I strongly recommend Arlington and will continue to use them to maintain this new system.”

“Curtis has been servicing our heating and ac equipment for many years. We love his cheery and professional attitude and very competent service. Thank you Curtis!”

“Many thanks to Jerrell for his professionalism and thoroughness. This is the first year with Arlington Heating and Air Conditioning and the service exceeded our experience with our previous contractor. The time and items checked greatly surpassed the the items checked by the previous contractor. Jerrell explained all the checks that he performed and provided the results with numerical readings of the checks that he performed. I will continue to use Arlington Heating and Air Conditioning in the future.”
- Lawrence S.
“The service technician today, Mike, conducted our fall/winter contract maintenance inspection thoroughly. He took time to explain what he did, and like previous techs, he conducted himself in a friendly and very cordial manner. We continue to be very pleased with not only those who come to our home for service, but with the staff who answer the phone, schedule appointments and respond to our inquiries. Arlington Heating & Air Conditioning has provided service for this home for 30 years!”

When I first bought my house three years ago, I signed-up for a maintenance agreement with another company. Each time this other company came to my house, they tried to up-sell me on a variety of other overpriced products. After 1 year of dealing with that, I decided to cancel my agreement. My neighbor, who uses Arlington Heating and Air for their maintenance, has been trying to convince me that not all companies are like that other company. So, I decided to once again sign-up for a maintenance agreement and give Arlington Heating and Air a try. It was a completely different experience compared to the other company. Mike was friendly, helpful, and efficient (an added note is that my neighbor highly recommended Mike). He took the time to explain a few things that I was not aware of. The experience was MUCH better this time, and their maintenance agreement was cheaper than the other place. Thanks for convincing me that not all HVAC companies are looking to rip you off.

Mike has been our technician on several of our last calls, and goes beyond the mark to give us the best possible service. He performs tests which aren’t required to make sure that we get the most out of our equipment, and has found deficiencies that we are able to remedy to make our furnace last longer and become more efficient.
