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.

Five stars all the way! Adam did a fantastic job replacing our HVAC — professional, knowledgeable, and tidy, and he took the time to explain everything along the way. Dave's Residential Electrical and Air Conditioning made the whole process smooth from start to finish, and owner Javier clearly runs a company that cares about doing the job right. Our new system is running beautifully. Highly recommend!Posted on Google![]()

Adam did an excellent job replacing my water heater. He was professional, courteous, and respectful of my home throughout the entire installation. He took care to keep everything clean and made sure there was no mess left behind. I also really appreciated that he kept me updated throughout the process and explained what he was doing along the way.

Today, Adam came to install two UV units. We have been with Dave’s Heating & Air Company for more than 20 years, even through a change in ownership. We still recognize many of their technicians from the old days. Adam is very knowledgeable about HVAC systems. He is friendly, professional, and clearly takes pride in his work. We were very pleased and grateful to have him help us. Dave’s company is lucky to have employees like Adam.
