AC Replacement You Can Trust — Comfort, Efficiency & Peace of Mind
When it’s time for a new air conditioning system, Dave’s Heating & Air makes the process clear, comfortable, and hassle-free. We help you choose the right system for your Reston home — then install it cleanly, correctly, and built to last.
A New AC Isn’t Just an Upgrade — It’s a Long-Term Investment
Replacing your air conditioner isn’t something you do often, and it shouldn’t feel overwhelming. Whether your current system is aging, breaking down repeatedly, or struggling to keep up with the summer heat in Reston, our team walks you through every option.
We look at your home, your comfort needs, and your long-term goals — not just the price tag. The result? A system that fits your space, your budget, and your family’s comfort for years to come.
How Dave’s Helps You Choose the Right System
Every home cools differently. Square footage, insulation, ductwork, windows, sun exposure — they all matter. That’s why we never recommend a system until we evaluate your home and understand how you live in it.
During your estimate, we’ll review:
Home size & layout to determine proper sizing
Energy-efficiency goals and monthly budget
Current ductwork condition and airflow needs
Noise levels, humidity control, and comfort preferences
Available rebates or incentives
Our Installation Standards
A new AC system is only as good as the installation behind it. At Dave’s, we don’t cut corners — ever. Our technicians follow detailed installation standards to ensure your new system performs at its highest efficiency from day one.
Every AC installation from Dave’s includes:
• Airflow and static pressure testing
Ensures your new system can move air properly throughout your home.
• Correct refrigerant charging
Proper charging is essential for cooling speed, efficiency, and system longevity.
• Clean, secure line-set work
No sloppy bends or messy connections — just clean, professional craftsmanship.
• Safety, leak, and performance testing
Your home’s comfort and safety come first.
• A full walkthrough after installation
We show you how everything works, answer all questions, and ensure you’re confident in the system we’ve installed.
This is what “done clean, done right” truly means.
What Homeowners Love About a New System
Modern AC systems offer comfort improvements that older units simply can’t match. After installation, most homeowners notice:
More even cooling throughout the home — no more hot spots.
Lower monthly energy bills due to higher efficiency.
Quieter operation, especially outdoors.
Better humidity control, even on the muggiest days.
Improved indoor air quality when paired with proper filtration.
It’s a difference you can feel every day — and one that continues paying off summer after summer.
We’ll never pressure you into replacing a system if a repair is a better option. If your unit still has life left — and the repair is safe, reasonable, and cost-effective — we’ll tell you.
Honest advice is part of who we are. We treat your home like our own.

EXCELLENT Based on 146 reviews Posted on Sarah SteinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We just had Dave’s come out to our house today. We thought we might have a serious issue with our heating and air system. The two technicians cleaned and serviced the unit and let us know that our unit was fine. We went from thinking we had an expensive problem to only having to pay a very reasonable service fee. They were professional and wonderful to work with. We will be using the company in the future and will recommend them to others.Posted on Eric MoyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I scheduled online for an AC diagnostic which was seamless. Adam came out in that time frame and gave me the run down of the issues. He was very knowledgeable and I would've went with him to fix the compressor issues. Unfortunately, whoever this companies receptionist is sounds like she hates her life over the phone. It took them a week to get back to me with a quote. She calls me, asks if I want to get it fixed and immediately asks for my credit card info. I don't have an estimate of what's being repairs or materials they need. I tell her please send it over and I'll pay the down payment through the portal since I was driving to work. A day goes by and crickets, I get another call asking about payment. She says she sent the email but the only thing I received was a schedule confirmation. Finally it arrives and everything is still lumped into one price. It wasn't that big of a deal, but I decided to get a second quote and this other place turned an itemize quote around in an hour, came out the next day, didn't ask for a deposit, and got the job done. If you all get that much business, the sentiment is your customers are just a number, and you can't be bothered to give the bare minimum customer experience then so be it.Posted on Jan and Joe AdamsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great job. Dave’s assisted with design as this was a replacement of a chiller system. Very pleased. Adam and team doing the installation we awesome.Posted on David LoughranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Good experience from start to finish. Notification of appointments and arrivals. All members of the team were professional and polite. This was for a whole house steam humidifier.Posted on Cheryl WackerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I needed a new AC system due to RELAC out of business. Todd was my first contact. He explained my options, answered all my questions...even after he left and I continued to contact him. He was very patient with all my concerns. On the install day, Adam and his team arrived on time, and communicated with me during the entire process. They explained thoroughly what they were doing and why. They did not leave until all had been checked out, and they cleaned up thoroughly. I will recommend them to anyone needing a new AC system.Posted on nora bTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a Dave’s customer for over 20 years.
