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.
Financing & Options That Fit Your Budget
An AC replacement is a big investment, but it shouldn’t be a stressful one. Dave’s offers flexible financing options designed to make upgrading easier and more affordable.
Whether you want low monthly payments or promotional interest-free plans, we’ll help you choose the option that works best for your household.

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.
