Keep Your Heating System Running Smoothly All Winter
Annual maintenance is the easiest, most effective way to prevent breakdowns, lower energy costs, and keep your home safe and warm. With nearly five decades of experience, Dave’s Heating & Air delivers detailed, reliable service that keeps your system performing its best—season after season.
Keep Your Home Warm, Safe, and Efficient All Winter
When temperatures drop in Northern Virginia, your heating system becomes one of the hardest-working parts of your home. A yearly check isn’t just routine—it’s the best way to avoid surprise failures, improve efficiency, and keep your home comfortable through even the coldest days.
At Dave’s Heating & Air, our maintenance service is designed to protect your system, reduce the risk of mid-season breakdowns, and help your equipment operate safely and efficiently.
Why Regular Heating Maintenance Matters
Your heating system contains burners, blowers, sensors, safety switches, electrical components, and controls that all have to work together. When even one part slips out of spec, you may notice:
Higher energy bills
Longer run times
Uneven temperatures
Strange noises or odors
Frequent on/off cycling
Routine maintenance catches these issues early, long before they turn into a “no heat” emergency. A well-maintained system lasts longer, runs safer, and costs less to operate.
What’s Included in a Heating Maintenance Appointment
We don’t believe in quick, five-minute “clean and checks.”
Our maintenance visits are detailed, thorough, and built to ensure your system is ready for the demands of winter.
Your service may include:
Inspecting burners, ignition systems, and heat exchangers
Testing blower motors and airflow
Checking safety switches and control boards
Verifying gas pressure and combustion (for furnaces)
Confirming proper operation of heat pumps and auxiliary heat
Tightening electrical connections
Inspecting flue and ventilation components
Calibrating the thermostat
Cleaning or replacing filters
Identifying worn or failing parts before they cause trouble
Before we leave, we review our findings so you know exactly what to expect from your system throughout the season.
The Benefits of Annual Heating Maintenance
A single annual visit pays for itself through better performance and fewer repairs.
Homeowners typically see:
Lower utility bills
Reduced repair costs
Longer system lifespan
More consistent, comfortable heat
Improved indoor air quality
Better safety, especially for gas furnaces
If you want your system to last and avoid stressful breakdowns, yearly maintenance is the most important step you can take.

Our technicians maintain all types of heating systems, including:
Gas and electric furnaces
Heat pumps

When Maintenance Reveals a Bigger Issue
Our goal is to protect your system—not just clean it.
If we find anything concerning during your appointment—like a failing part, airflow restriction, weak ignition, refrigerant issue, or potential safety hazard—we’ll show you what’s going on and explain your options clearly.
There’s never pressure or upselling. Just honest guidance.

Since 2018 we have counted on the care and expertise of Dave’s team to keep our aging furnaces repaired and running smoothly. Each technician who has come to help has been knowledgeable, respectful and caring. This summer we needed to finally replace one complete HVAC system. Mike O’Neal worked with us using his years of experience in the field to come up with a uniquely tailored plan for our situation. Adam Colbert and his team did a fantastic job with the complex installation. Adam is a caring, confident expert and our system is working perfectly thanks to the knowledge and skills of Mike and Adam. Dave’s is a company to trust for the best HVAC service.
