Fast, Reliable Heat Pump Repair — Year-Round Comfort, Restored
When your heat pump struggles, cycles incorrectly, or stops heating or cooling altogether, Dave’s Heating & Air is ready to help with prompt, precise repairs that get your home comfortable again.
When Your Heat Pump Goes Down, You Feel It Fast
Heat pumps carry more responsibility than standard HVAC systems — they’re your heater and your air conditioner. That means when something goes wrong, it affects comfort in every season.
Whether your heat pump is blowing cold air in winter, failing to cool in summer, freezing over, or running nonstop, you need more than a quick reset. You need a technician who understands how these systems operate in both modes in our Northern Virginia climate and how to pinpoint the root problem — not just the symptom.
That’s exactly what we do at Dave’s.
Our Repair Approach: Fix the Cause, Not Just the Component
Before we ever reach for a replacement part, we take the time to understand why your heat pump isn’t performing correctly. Heat pumps are complex systems with electrical, refrigerant, airflow, and control components that all interact — and a surface-level fix can miss the real issue.
Here’s how a typical repair visit in Reston goes:
Full System Diagnostic — including pressures, electrical checks, reversing valve performance, airflow, and thermostat communication
Clear Explanation — we review the findings with you in plain English
Upfront Pricing — no surprises, no guesswork
Lasting Repair Work — completed cleanly and safely
Performance Verification — ensuring your heat pump heats, cools, and defrosts exactly as it should
This approach prevents repeat breakdowns and helps extend your system’s lifespan.
Specialized Repairs for All Heat Pump Types
Different systems require different knowledge. Our technicians are trained to repair:
Traditional split-system heat pumps
High-efficiency inverter/variable-speed systems
Ducted and ductless heat pump setups
Dual-fuel systems (heat pump + gas backup)
No matter the brand or model — Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Mitsubishi, Rheem, Bryant — we’ve got you covered.
When Repair Isn’t the Best Option
We never push replacements, but we’re honest when a repair isn’t cost-effective.
We may recommend replacement when:
The system is older and facing multiple component failures
The compressor is failing or out of warranty
A repair would exceed the long-term value of the system
The unit is oversized, undersized, or inefficient for your home
If replacement makes more sense, we’ll walk you through your options clearly — without pressure.

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.
