Heating in Arlington

Heating Service Led by PHCC’s 2023 HVAC Contractor of the Year

If your furnace stops producing heat, your heat pump cycles repeatedly, or certain rooms never reach the thermostat setting, we can identify the problem and explain your options. We repair, maintain, install, and replace residential heating systems throughout Arlington.

Because we also handle electrical, gas fitting, and plumbing work, we can coordinate projects involving more than one home system. Our assessment may cover the controls, ductwork and airflow, and the condition of the existing equipment before we recommend a repair or replacement.

Heating Services for Arlington Homes

Our heating work covers urgent repairs, recurring comfort problems, seasonal upkeep, and planned equipment replacement. We provide upfront pricing and detailed estimates before approved work begins. Free estimates are available for installation projects.

Our residential heating services include:

• Heating system repair: We diagnose systems that won’t start, blow cold air, cycle repeatedly, make unusual noises, or struggle to maintain the selected temperature.
• Furnace repair and installation: We service existing furnaces and install new equipment when replacement makes more practical sense than another repair.
• Heat pump service: We repair, maintain, install, and replace heat pumps used for home heating and cooling.
• Heating maintenance: Seasonal service can include an inspection, safety checks, an airflow review, and an evaluation of filters and system components.
• Complete HVAC replacement: We can evaluate the heating and cooling system together when aging equipment or installation requirements call for a broader project.

Trained Technicians & Clear Communication at Every Visit

Reddick & Sons Inc. has served Northern Virginia since 2015. Our president, Danny Reddick, holds master’s licenses in HVAC, plumbing, gas fitting, and electrical work. He received the 2023 HVAC Contractor of the Year Award from the Plumbing-Heating-Cooling Contractors National Association at both the Virginia and national levels.

Our technicians receive ongoing instruction in dedicated training space covering HVAC, gas, plumbing, and electrical systems. They’re also licensed, bonded, and insured. Before arrival, we send a text notification with your technician’s photo and information so you know who is coming to your home.

Once we’ve assessed the system, we explain our findings, answer your questions, and outline the available options without high-pressure sales tactics. We’ve also been recognized among Northern Virginia Magazine’s Best Contractors every year from 2017 through 2023.

Heating Service Pricing & Availability

Same-day service is available throughout Northern Virginia, subject to scheduling availability, and service call fees start at $69. Installation estimates are free.

Financing is available for qualifying repair or replacement needs, excluding emergency repairs. We provide detailed estimates before work begins so you can review the scope and price before making a decision.

Warning Signs Your Heating System Needs Attention

A complete loss of heat calls for prompt service, but a system doesn’t have to stop running before it needs evaluation. Changes in sound, airflow, temperature, odor, or operating frequency can signal a developing problem.

Heating warning signs include:

• Cold air coming from the vents while the heat is running.
• Hot and cold spots that persist between rooms.
• Short cycling, repeated starts, or difficulty maintaining the thermostat setting.
• Weak airflow, unusual noises, leaks, or unpleasant odors.
• A furnace pilot light that has changed color.
• Utility bills that rise without a clear change in household use.
• Repeated repairs or worsening indoor air quality.

If you suspect a gas leak, see smoke, smell a strong burning odor, or have a carbon monoxide concern, stop using the equipment if it’s safe to do so. Seek immediate assistance from the appropriate utility or emergency service.

Choosing Between Furnace Repair & Replacement

Repair may be the practical option when the system has a defined, serviceable fault and remains in otherwise sound condition. Replacement may deserve consideration when the equipment needs frequent repairs, no longer heats the home consistently, or isn’t compatible with other parts of the home.

A heating installation also requires more than choosing a piece of equipment. Capacity, available fuel, thermostat controls, venting, installation location, and existing ductwork can all affect the project. Furnaces and heat pumps operate differently, so we base recommendations on the property and your priorities rather than a one-size-fits-all answer.

Some projects also affect electrical service, gas lines, plumbing connections, or other HVAC components. Our multi-trade capabilities allow us to coordinate those connected needs when they fall within the project scope.

Mechanical Permits for Arlington Heating Projects

Arlington County states that a mechanical permit is required when furnaces, mechanical fixtures, ductwork, or related components are added, removed, or relocated. Requirements can vary by equipment, fuel type, property, and scope of work, so they should be confirmed for each project.

For a new or replacement fuel-burning appliance in an existing building, the county may require an inspection of the connected vent or chimney system. The inspection can address sizing, cleanliness, blockages, defects, deterioration, and operability. Homeowners should confirm current permit and inspection requirements with Arlington County or the contractor responsible for the work before installation begins.
