When Your Furnace Stops Working, We’re Ready To Help
If your furnace can’t keep up, makes unusual noises, or suddenly stops heating, Dave’s Heating & Air is here to restore comfort quickly with honest guidance and dependable repairs.
Losing Heat Is Never Convenient — But We Make the Fix Simple
When your furnace stops working, you notice right away. Cold air from the vents, uneven temperatures, strange sounds, or a system that won’t turn on at all—these issues can make your home uncomfortable fast. You need clarity, not guesswork. You need a team that arrives prepared, explains what’s happening, and gets your system running safely again.
That’s exactly what we do at Dave’s Heating & Air. With nearly 50 years of experience in Northern Virginia, we know how to diagnose furnace problems quickly and deliver repairs that last.
What We Look For During a Furnace Repair Visit
Gas furnaces rely on precise timing, safe ignition, clean burners, accurate sensors, and a strong airflow system. When one part fails, others often follow. That’s why our technicians take a full-system approach rather than chasing symptoms.
During a repair visit, we examine how the entire furnace is operating—ignition, burner performance, airflow, electrical components, and safety controls. This helps us pinpoint the real issue and prevent recurring problems.
Common Furnace Issues We Repair
Every furnace shows distress in its own way. Some problems are obvious—like no heat at all. Others start slowly and get worse over time.
Homeowners often call us for issues like:
Furnace runs but blows cold or lukewarm air
System cycles on and off repeatedly
Ignitor won’t light or keeps failing
Strong odors during operation
Loud banging, scraping, or rumbling noises
Weak airflow through the vents
Furnace won’t turn on at all
If something doesn’t seem right, trust your instincts—furnaces rarely fix themselves.
Repairs Backed by Experience and Care
Our technicians arrive with the tools, training, and parts needed to resolve most issues on the spot. We explain what we found, walk you through your options, and provide straightforward pricing before repairs begin. No pressure. No surprises. Just experienced guidance you can trust.
Once repairs are complete, we perform a full heating test to ensure your furnace is operating safely and efficiently before we leave your home.
When Repair Isn’t the Best Long-Term Choice
We always aim to repair whenever it’s practical. But if your furnace is older, unreliable, or facing multiple expensive components failing at once, we’ll help you understand when replacement may be the more cost-effective option. Our recommendations are based on system condition—not sales targets.

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.
