Heating maintenance, made clear

One visit.
A clearer picture
of your heating.

PRO Electric plus HVAC offers $169 heating tune-ups in Fairfax, Loudoun, Arlington, and Prince William counties. We check the items that apply to your furnace or heat pump and explain what we find.

What you leave with: a written record of the work and available readings, plus a clear explanation of any recommended repair. Additional work requires your approval.

Why make time for maintenance?

Less guessing.
More useful information.

01 / FIND DEVELOPING ISSUES

Catch what you can,
before you need the heat.

Worn components, poor connections, and control problems can show up in a measured check. Finding them early gives you time to plan.

02 / SUPPORT NORMAL OPERATION

Give the system
room to do its job.

Airflow, filters, and the right operating settings matter. We check for issues that can make the equipment work harder.

03 / LEAVE WITH SOMETHING USEFUL

Understand the findings.
Keep the record.

Get a written account of the visit, available readings, and any recommended work, with the reason and urgency explained.

Maintenance can find developing issues and support normal operation. It cannot guarantee a breakdown-free winter, a specific equipment lifespan, or a particular energy saving.

tune-up looks like.

24 checks across six areas. Choose a system to see the relevant items. Your equipment and its manufacturer instructions determine the final service scope.

24Checks

The right checks for the equipment you have.

This is the full service checklist. Combustion checks apply to fuel-burning equipment; heat pump checks apply to heat pumps. Your technician confirms the items your system supports.

Safety and operation

  • 01Check carbon monoxide at the unit and in supply air on fuel-burning equipment.
  • 02Inspect accessible fuel connections, valves, and fittings for leaks as applicable.
  • 03Inspect venting for damage, blockage, and signs of improper draft.
  • 04Test applicable safety switches and limit controls.

Mechanical components

  • 05Inspect and clean blower components within the agreed service scope.
  • 06Inspect the furnace heat exchanger for signs of cracks or corrosion.
  • 07Inspect, clean, and adjust burners as the equipment requires.
  • 08Check the ignition sequence and flame-sensing operation.

Electrical components

  • 09Measure voltage and current on applicable motors and heaters.
  • 10Inspect electrical connections and tighten as the manufacturer requires.
  • 11Test capacitors and contactors where fitted, against their specifications.
  • 12Verify the thermostat response and operating control sequence.

Airflow and filtration

  • 13Check filter condition and report whether service or replacement is needed.
  • 14Assess airflow and static pressure where applicable.
  • 15Inspect accessible return and supply paths for restrictions.
  • 16Check condensate drainage on equipment that has it.

Heat pump operation

  • 22Document the findings and completed work.
  • 23Explain any urgent concern and the recommended next step.
  • 24Leave available readings for your service records and future comparisons.

Where fitted and accessible, using appropriate test conditions and procedures. Ask what cleaning and filter service are included for your equipment. Parts, corrective repairs, and work outside the agreed tune-up scope require separate approval.

Different equipment. Different checks.

Your system sets
the service priorities.

Every heating system needs care. The reason for a check depends on what the equipment does and how it makes heat.

Fuel-burning furnace

Combustion and venting belong in the maintenance conversation.

  • Review the fuel connections, burners, heat exchanger, and venting.
  • Include the blower, electrical components, airflow, and safety controls.

All-electric heat pump

No fuel burning in the heat pump. Still plenty to check.

  • Review electrical operation, airflow, defrost, and heating performance.
  • Check the installed backup heat and its controls.

Heat pump + furnace

A dual-fuel system needs attention to both heat sources.

  • Include the applicable furnace and heat pump checks.
  • Review the changeover settings and compatible controls.

All-electric equipment does not burn fuel, but other appliances, an attached garage, or nearby combustion sources can still create a CO risk. Keep appropriate working CO alarms. For a boiler, electric furnace, or another arrangement, ask us to confirm the service scope.

An important furnace check, explained

The heat exchanger
keeps two air paths separate.

TWO PATHS. KEPT SEPARATE. AIR CIRCULATING THROUGH THE HOMECOMBUSTION GASES TO THE VENTTHE METAL WALL TRANSFERS HEAT BETWEEN THEM
Concept illustration, not a diagram of your equipment. It does not show a homeowner inspection or test.

In a fuel-burning furnace, the heat exchanger transfers warmth from combustion to the air moving through your home. Its metal wall separates that air from the combustion gases.

Cracks, corrosion, and venting problems can create serious hazards. The inspection belongs with a qualified technician who can evaluate the equipment and its operating conditions.

One reading is not the whole inspection. A normal-looking flame or one normal CO reading does not rule out a fault. Do not remove covers or try to diagnose the heat exchanger yourself.
Know what applies.
Ask to see the findings.

We explain the checks in plain language. A furnace needs combustion checks; an all-electric heat pump needs a different set. Both need attention to safe operation and performance.

Straight answers before you book

Heating tune-up
questions, answered.

What the service covers, which checks apply, and how to take the next step.

Ask us about your system

How much is a heating tune-up?

Our advertised heating tune-up is $169. Confirm the equipment, service scope, pricing for additional units, and any additional work when scheduling. Repairs or replacement parts require a separate explanation and your approval.

What does the $169 heating tune-up include?

We inspect, clean, test, and document the applicable items across safety, mechanical components, electrical components, airflow, heat pump operation, and performance reporting. The page lists 24 checks across all system types. A furnace and an all-electric heat pump do not use every item on the same list.

How often should I have my heating system serviced?

Plan professional heating maintenance before the heating season, generally each year, and follow the equipment manufacturer's schedule. Fuel-burning heating systems should be professionally inspected annually. Heat pumps also need care for their cooling season.

When is the best time to schedule a heating tune-up in Northern Virginia?

Fall is a useful time to schedule before sustained heating demand. If that window has passed, ask about current availability. If the heat is already out or the system is behaving abnormally, call about diagnosis rather than waiting for routine maintenance.

Does an all-electric heat pump need safety checks?

Yes. It has electrical components, operating controls, and often backup heaters that need attention. The heat pump itself does not create carbon monoxide by burning fuel, but that does not rule out other CO sources in or near the home. A dual-fuel system also has a furnace that needs combustion and venting checks.

What does a furnace heat exchanger do?

It transfers heat from combustion to the air that circulates through your home while keeping the combustion gases separate. Damage or corrosion can create a serious hazard. A technician must evaluate suspected problems; a normal-looking flame or one normal CO reading does not rule out a fault.

Can a tune-up guarantee that my heating will not break down?

No. Maintenance can identify developing issues and support normal operation, but it cannot guarantee uninterrupted heat, a particular equipment lifespan, or a specific reduction in energy bills.

Is a heating tune-up the same as a repair visit?

No. A tune-up is planned maintenance. A no-heat condition, repeated shutdown, unusual noise, or other active fault may need diagnosis and repair. Tell us about those symptoms when you call so we can confirm the right service and charges.

What happens if you find a problem?

We explain the finding, the recommended work, the cost, and how urgent it is. Additional work requires your approval. If there is an immediate safety concern, we explain the precautions and next steps before discussing routine upkeep.

Will you automatically recommend replacing an older system?

Age is one part of the discussion. We also look at the condition, repair history, current performance, and what a repair would address. If replacement is worth considering, we explain why and let you compare the options.

Should I replace the filter before the appointment?

Follow the equipment and filter instructions. Check the filter regularly and replace or clean it when needed. Tell us the filter size and when it was last serviced, if known. Ask what filter service is included in your appointment; do not open electrical or combustion compartments.

Does the reminder calendar book an appointment?

No. It creates a personal calendar file reminding you to contact PRO Electric plus HVAC. It does not send your selections or reserve a service time. Use the request form or call 703-225-8222; the team confirms availability.

What should I do if a CO alarm sounds or I smell gas?

Get outside immediately and call 911 from a safe location. For suspected gas, avoid operating switches, using flames, or using a phone until outside; then also contact your gas utility. Do not stay inside to investigate, and do not wait for a tune-up request response.

Which areas do you serve for heating tune-ups?
